Forum Thread: Trick my Nexus 7 into thinking it's in the USA.

Hello. I am new to the world of modification on any device, but I now have a Nexus 7 and have heard it is very modifiable. The biggest issue I currently have is that I live in The Netherlands but I want my Nexus 7 to think I am in the U.S. I have looked into VPN apps, but honestly find them a bit scary as they seem to get deep into the system. Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions for how to trick my Nexus 7 into thinking it is in the U.S. without having to go too extreme? Thanks!

Forum Thread: How to Enable "Unknown Sources" on Your Nexus 7 for Access to Awesome 3rd-Party Apps

Google's Play Store is packed with some great apps, but since we're the rebellious types looking to fully utilize the capabilities of our Nexus 7s, we're going to need some 3rd-party apps—apps that can't be found in the Play Store.
