Default [Q] Installing US only apps from outside US

Since market enabler doesn't work on ICS, is there another way I can fake my location/carrier so I can install US only apps?

I hope someone else comes up with an answer in the meantime if the application is free and not pirated can't you find the appropriate apk?

I have google currents 1.0.1 on my phone (UK) and it works very well.

Same here! No issues at all with Market Enabler. Managed to install some apps that are 'not available in my country' :)
