[Q] Remove the market's regional restrictions (Wifi only)?

---

I live in Cyprus, and cannot see all the apps in the market due to regional restrictions. I can't even see the official Gmail app.
I've tried "Paid apps enabler", "Market enabler" and "Market Access". PAE and ME return an error when I try to change to a US carrier, while MA reports that it has changed the carrier succesfully (but the market restrictions are still there). I'm guessing that this happens because my GT10.1 is the wifi only model thus there are no phone carrier settings to spoof (or google simply ignores the carrier's codes).
My device is rooted. Note that I've been succesfully using "paid apps enabler" on my nexus one for some months now. I have also tried to replace build.prop from a US xoom, and restarting, without any success.
How is google registering my location without 3g? Is it just by IP? Any ideas on how to overcome this?

I have de same problem. I have tried all that apps to no luck.

Go to apps and force close and delete data of Market and Market Update, restart And use a VPN connection. I use strongvpn

I'd prefer a simpler solution like the market access one. Any experts around to answer if that is technically possible since the wifi only model has no carrier to spoof??

It won't work....tried that with a rooted XOom.
What also works is getting the build.prop file of a Tab with 3G from a supported market. Than root and push it to the system folder.

I live in saudi and we have the same problem we can not get paid apps. I have a vpn account with private internet access with a US connection so I setup the vpn account in the tab and I got all the paid apps

Has anyone else tried this?

this makes paid apps accessible but they still can not be installed. it fails when redirect to "My Apps" page. seems that something other than market and market-updater blocks the action.
try this:
remove the Google account, add it again after connect to VPN, then the location will be all reset, all app will be available.
this works for my but too inconvenient. I hope I will find some easier way soon.
