Info 2 Jelly Bean Outside US new restrictions?

So I have been using 4.1 on my Gnex for the past couple of days (Outside the US).

Installed Play Movies and Google Earth from US market using market enabler.

I am unable to see or open these apps even though they are installed on my phone.
I even got an update for play books.

The open links in the play store have disappeared and the apps are not shown in the drawer either.

I can confirm they are installed and the issue only affects 'US Play store only' apps.

Highly disappointed, anyone else facing this issue and any solutions?

I'm in India, i understand not being able to use services not available in the country. But i'm not able to see or open the app. Even Google earth seems to be affected by the issue.

I am in India too, and I managed to install the Play Books and Play Movies app through the Google Play website. I was also able to install Google earth.
In Play Books and Movies, if you click the market button, it just takes you to the apps store and not to the respective app sections though..

Found a fix!

Not sure why none of you are facing this issue but I tried stock 4.1 and awesomebeats.

Anyway I noticed the apps that were invisible in the drawer were highlighted blue in titanium backup. I selected the "Defrost" option for each in titanium and those apps are now available. Thanks for the replies guys.
