Even Pirates can be Champions, Galaxy Gifts Card Back Now Available

Obtaining the Galaxy Gifts Card Back & 3 Free Packs
Last night the Galaxy Gifts card back promotion went live and is only available to those with a Samsung Galaxy S6. We’ve put together a guide on how you can do this from the comfort of your own PC using an Android emulator. This guide was inspired by n4ru’s guide.
This requires that you have Amazon account to use their Appstore. You can create one for free on the Amazon website. You can later use this account and emulator to buy Hearthstone packs cheaper than normal when Amazon runs Amazon Coin promotions!
This will work on Windows, Linux, and Mac. We’ve got instructions and a video below to help you get your card back and card packs.
Quote from HearthPwn
- Download Genymotion, an Android Emulator. (Download requires account login, you can create an account or try one of these)
- Direct downloads: [MAC OSX] [Windows with VBox] [Ubuntu 32] [Ubuntu 64] [Debian 64]
- Run the Genymotion installer. This can take a bit while it downloads the needed files, so be patient.
- Run Genymotion, add a new virtual device as it prompts you to.
- Login using your account or one of the bugmenot accounts to display all the devices you can create.
- Select “Samsung Galaxy S5 - 4.4.4 - API 19 1080x1920” from the available virtual devices. Hit next, hit next again. Finish. Launch the newly created virtual device.
- Go to Settings -> Security and then enable “Unknown sources”.
- On the search widget at the top of your home screen, search for “Amazon Appstore”. Click on “Amazon Appstore: Getting Started” to get to the download page. Download it.
- Pull down your notification frame, click on the downloaded AmazonApps-release.apk. Click next, click install, click open. Login with your Amazon account.
- In the search bar at the top type in Hearthstone. Download it by clicking on Free and then Get App. Once it finishes downloading, your device will ask if you want to install it, say yes. Do not launch the game when it is done downloading!
- Go to your apps and open up File Manager. Click the menu button of your emulator (or press ctrl+m) to open the menu. Hit the Settings button at the bottom left. Click on “General Settings”. Look for “Access Mode” and set this to “Root Access mode”. Select “Remember choice forever” and then click “Allow”.
- Once again open the menu, this time click on “System folder”. Inside of this look for a file named “build.prop” which should be at the bottom. Click on this and open it with “Editor”.
- Find the line “ro.product.brand=generic”. Change generic to samsung.
- Insert a new line after the previous line and type in (with no quotes) “ro.product.model=SM-G920F”.
- Save the file by using the save icon in the top right of the app.
- Close the emulator by hitting the X button. Launch it again and then go to your app screen and start up Hearthstone. Login with your Battle.net account to get your card back. Don’t forget to login to each region which you want the card back in.
- Bonus: If you’ve never played a game of Hearthstone on Android before, you can get a free card pack by playing a single match within the emulator.
Deck Spotlight: Budget Friendly Decks!
Today we're doing things a bit different with our spotlight - we're showcasing 11 decks!
WingsOfWax has been hard at work over the past few weeks crafting an excellent selection of budget decks (and guides!) for the community, some of which you may have seen in our top decks widget. In this list, every class is represented with a popular budget-friendly archetype.
The following decks have been built to stay under 2000 dust and assume that the player using them has unlocked the Naxxramas adventure, which for the record is a fantastic purchase if you don't already have it. BRM cards have not been included as the cards within it aren't entirely necessary for solid deck building.
Will you be taking any of these decks out for a spin on the ladder?
Deck | Cost |
---|---|
Zad + Combo Druid | 1900 |
Hybrid Hunter | 1080 |
Mech Mage | 1360 |
Tempo Mage | 1200 |
Aggro Paladin | 1820 |
Control Priest | 1400 |
Burst Rogue | 1380 |
Tempo Oil Rogue | 1960 |
Mech Shaman | 1580 |
Zoolock Aggro | 1340 |
SMOrc Warrior | 920 |
Card Design Competition #25
Our twenty-fifth instalment of the card design competition is underway, and you're invited to create a card of your own. This week's theme is "HS Top", which requires you obey the following rules:
- The card must be a minion;
- The artwork must contain a character with a beard;
- The effect must activate off of the minion taking damage.
An excellent example of a card which meets these requirements is none other than Grim Patron.
The submission phase closes on July 21 at 18:00 UTC, so get those entries in! You can submit your own card in the submission thread, or comment on other cards in this week's discussion thread. Don't forget you vote on your favourites by using the voting button!
Card Design Competition #24 Winner
Congratulations to literleck for winning last week's More Than Meets The Eye competition with Druid of the Talon!
Some help please. I followed all instructions up to the amazon app store, and I can't seem to find hearthstone. It is not in the amazon my apps list or anywhere. Totally clueless as to what I should do. =(
I have the same problem :/
Same problem here!
Have you found any solution?
Acording to Amazon CS, Blizzard pulled the app from Amazon App Store recently.
It seems it is due to a bug that allowed players to pre-order cards from tourney before it was possible on PC which soft-locked your other clients (fe. pc). So basically there were people who preordered cardpacks from mobile and couldn't play on PC now...
So blizzard pulled it for "preparing update" - it seems that it will be availbe in sync with patch for PC release that will open preorder there.
TL;DR - Blizz patching, wait day or 2.
I managed to get the card packs and card back, but by using a totally different method. Pretty troublesome, hope it helps though.

with this software https://www.piriform.com/speccy/download
I got a legendary for each of my regional accounts for this. I got Onyxia on my Asian account and an Edwin Vancleef on my Americas. Both legendary are underwhelming but hey legends nonetheless. Emulating troubles well worth it!
how could you change the ram of the emulator i cant go past 2030 MB
I have already played a game on my android tablet and got the card pack.....btw why on the simulator i did not get the android phone free pack?
This promotion was specifically for the Samsung Galaxy 6 Phone
Awesome!
I just followed all of the steps in the video and just got my cardback and 3 free packs! The only thing extra i had to do was download virtualbox as i didn't already have it. Note that i was able to do this using a Mac.
Great guide! Now if i could only get the golden celebration cardback....
So after a full hour of messing about and installing allsorts of crap i dont want i get the message "hearthstone is not supported on this device"
i enable virtualization as instructerd and get the same message.
FML
set the number of Virtual CPU to 4 of the Samsung S5 in the Genymotion UI
I did all the steps but if i want to start Hearthstone the Virtual Phone tells me, that my phone hasnt got the minimal needed specifications, wtf
