For the heck of it I tried installing an APk through astro file manager. It installed no problems.
I do have a completely stock inspire I bought yesterday.
Just thought I would make a quick mention because I kept seeing that side loading was disabled.

Just tried again and no go, app install blocked for security reasons
Don't know what to say then to he honest. I had astro on here to handle SD card stuff. Downloaded the rock player apk from the website. Installed through astro with no problem.
To make sure I wasn't going nuts, because I had rock installed through the market, I uninstalled both installed rock apps, restarted, and installed only the apk via astro. I did download the apk from my phone.
That's how it worked for me.

try a different apk besides that possibly cache or something affecting it. but I do know I cant and probaly no others can otherwise would be no reason for sideloader.
I'm on the road but ill find somebrandom apk and try it

I just downloaded pirates vs ninjas and installed via astro again. It'd working. Did you try installing the apk via astro off the SD card?

Yes, the Inspire allows sideloading.
Make sure "Unknown Sources" is checked under the Applications tab in the Settings.
Stock inspire supposebly doesn't. The stock rom doesn't have the unknown sources option. I honestly have no idea why it does on mine.
The backlfip allowed it this way. After the Aria though att locked android from installing anything but off the market.
This shouldn't work on my phone, but it does.

A thousand internets points to you, good sir!
LOL..........
EDIT: You can also just flash THIS by attn1 to accomplish the same goal.
The update for 1.84 for the Inspire 4G was released on 4-29-2011 as an OTA update. It WILL NOT RUN on rooted ROMs.
Things I have personally observed about this ROM:
Quick. Seems to respond very well to input, no real hesitations. I won't tell you quadrant scores because they are useless.
GPS WORKS! Exceptionally well. 3-6 FOOT accuracy. The highest TTL I have seen is 17s.
Fast. HSUPA is working well, 1.3mbps up. I hit 6mbps down on a regular basis with this ROM. YMMV, of course. But it works great here in North Texas.
Third party non market Apps install. Yes, you read that right. There is no selector to turn it on or off, though. They work for me. YMMV.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE, COMPUTER, PLACE OF RESIDENCE, OR PETS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites:
S-Off HTC Inspire 4G with microSD card inserted (HOW TO thanks to attn1)
RUU to stock 2.2.1 v1.80 (Located here thanks to cmstlist)
Gingerbreak v1.2 (From Chainfire) loaded on your SD Card
The OTA update note: place in /sdcard/download. This method is untested.
Sideload Wonder Machine if install of Gingerbreak does not work.
A valid Wi-Fi connection
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Follow these steps to achieve a rooted 2.2.1 v1.84 stock ROM
1. RUU your phone to stock following instructions provided in the above thread using the pd98img.zip method, NOT THE .EXE!
2. Boot phone, don't bother adding any accounts or setting anything but a wifi connection up.
3. Go to Settings, choose AT&T Software Update, then choose HTC Wi-Fi Software Update.
4. Download and install
5. Boot phone into updated stock ROM.
6. Install Gingerbreak v1.2 and run it. It will crash HTC Sense launcher, force close it, then you will see an error saying it could not reboot phone. Reboot manually using power button. If it gives you a weird error on boot such as a picture of a phone and a red mark, pull the battery then reboot.
7. ROOT! Yes, you now have root. Verify superuser.apk is in your app drawer, then I strongly recommend installing busybox from the market.
8. Install ROM Manager from the market and flash ClockworkMod Recovery. I have had no issues with 3.0.2.6.
That's it, done! I have had a couple small FC's from SU when first granting permissions to an app, to fix it open the actual superuser app then go back to the offending program. Once granted permissions this should not occur anymore.
I hope this helps!
If I missed anyone in the thanks above it was purely unintentional. PM me and I will correct the oversight.
I think you mean 3rd party apps is enabled? Not slideload.
Great job with the guide.

It may not have rolled out for everyone yet. You can try placing the update file, not renamed, in /sdcard/download then run the update.

so lemme get this straight, AT&T finally enabled the ability to install apps that are not from the market?
Or am I just seeing things and mis understanding.

You can always set your date a day ahead when you go to check again. At least we know that doesn't work.

a little "birdie" told me that at&t is rolling this out to 10K users a day for the first three days, then evaluating the results and - assuming all goes well - will bump up to 25K-50K users on 5/2, and then 50K users a day until done beginning 5/3 or 5/4. don't know for sure, though, if this is why you're having to wait for 1 more day.
i have the update, where do you go to let it install non market apps? i tried downloading the amazon app store thingy but it still says install blocked.

If you downloaded the update prior going back to stock Un-rooted, then you need to either format you SD card or use another one. When I went back to stock, the update didn't show up for me, but as soon as I changed my SD card, the OTA came right up after I prompted for an update.

Has anyone tried to install the updated rom on a stock rooted rom like this one:

Any luck?
I wouldn't much worry about updating to this if your phone is rooted. Soon enough someone will have a rooted and CWR Flashable version of this. With so many good roms and Devs here I assume it wont be long.

I think that is the difference maker. Hence why s-off is listed as a prerequisite.

Hi Everyone!
Have you seen how the new Sony's Cameras capture Panorama Photos by moving the Camera all the way the scene you want to capture?
Well today a beta app developed by Sony can do that in our Mobile Phones...
I've found the app in the original thread for a X10 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116055 and i've corrected the script so we can also enjoy this beauty app...
DISCLAIMER!!!
Always do a back first in case it breaks anything and i'm not responsible if anything happens to your house, your town, your country or your dog... Use it at your own risk though it doesn't mean a major threat since the propetary files go to framework without breaking recovery or something else...
Instructions:
1.- Download and flash through CWM 3+ this script:
1.1 - Download Script
The script contains two SE Propietary files needed for the app to work.
2.- Download and install the attached app named:com.sonyericsson.panorama.apk
Install the app normally through any explorer like a side load.
3.- Enjoy!
Attached you may also find a few pictures taken it really works good on daylight!
UPDATE June 23rd!!!
Specific Mount Points for different devices AND the APK is already in the flashable ZIP...
------> Somehow i screwed the installer .apk when attaching it to the .zip for each phone, please flash the Zip and then install the apk... Sorry for that guys!

Glad my work? Buy me a Beer!
That's awesome and so cool, was waiting for this one to appear here and this is why I love this forum so much.
Allow me a dumb question - what is cwm3+ and how to do this "flash through CWM 3+ this script". Or point me to a xda thread where it is already explained. Thanks.
Edit: Figured that out already, works fine with DHD, stock rom 2.2.
Edit 2: I was happy too early, I can launch the app, select a direction and begin panning, sometimes the app just quits with no save, or it lets me hit the stop button and it saves a file, but the file saved is with green stripes.

It's pretty cool and extremely easy to use. However the images don't come out very nice most of the time lol. Mainly the left and right side, but those sides were about 3 feet away from where I was standing and I turned 90 degrees basically.
Also the flash doesn't seem to work
Installs and works on my N1, but says it cannot save the image.

If one application stops working usually an uninstall and reinstall of the application will fix it.

Go ahead and install 2.3.1 and see if it is fixed. This is the latest version.
I used voice search a few days ago without any problems on Oxygen 2.3.
Like others have said, try the 2.3.1 version 'cause they fixed some bugs in the previous version!

I've heard about this tool but I've never used it. Seems a bit complicated in that you have to flash stuff before flashing rom, and after. Also once you run the program everything is gone completely. I like having control using root explorer to either move or delete the files that way if something does go wrong I just add it back onto my phone and change the permissions. Maybe it's just a lack of knowledge.

Hi,
It's a lot easier than it seems,and speeds the installation process up.
Perhaps , it's not for everyone,but the [OP] stated removing bloatware ,which it does in seconds.
It takes a while to configure the initial user text file,but once you have done it, you don't ever have to do it again.
And you only have to run it once after flashing the ROM.
It takes 30 seconds to run.
How do I know which particular bloatwares to remove? I'm new to android. Less than a week old.

Hi,
Have a look at what is included in a basic ROM,by looking at THIS USER TEXT FILE.
You will also see guide alongside it showing what each one does.
Make sure you have notepad++(google it).
I have tried all I can but still can do the bloatware removal. I have rooted, enabled SU and I have installed root explorer but I don't know what to do now. The root explorer gives make access to the ROM but I don't know what to remove and how to remove it.
