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!

Hey Softmodders...
Forum Thread: What Is a SoftModder?
Good question. I encourage additional clarifications but here is my opinion of the term. A SoftModder is anyone who enjoys making modifications (or changes) to their device (phone, tablet, game console, etc). This includes simple physical modifications, like adding accessories; minor changes, like personalizing the display or more advanced modifications which require the device to be "rooted."
