althou searching would help, ATT has disallowed the install of non-market apps. you need to be rooted with sideloading enabled.

So I got it rooted, but how do you enable sideloading? I still can't install anything from my sd card. I know sideload wonder machine works, but I have some apps backed up with titanium backup and would like to be able to restore on the inspire.

If you're using a rooted stock ROM this option won't be there, you'll need to use SideLoadWonder machine. Other ROMs have the option to allow non market apps in settings (i'm using Revolution and it's there)

Rooting means voiding your warranty.
I don't think you can screw if you follow instruction step by step. This is my first android phone but learning curve was just a few hours.
Revoultion ROM does have the option of non market apps.

Google side load wonder machine

Just some fyi

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.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

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.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

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
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

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?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

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.

this dude is confused lol check unknown sources! yea well just be glad it works for ya because i dont think it does for anyone else, and yes I tried some through astro thats what i always use. Tried again after reading your post no go.

[HOWTO][ROOT/CWM] Rooting the 04-29-11 HTC Update[FROYO]

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.

[Q] How do I download non market apps?

My brother has just gotten an htc inspire,and can't find where you go to allow the install of non market apps.any help would be greatly appreciated

If it's enabled... look under settings> applications.
Enable "Unknown sources".
if it's not enabled.... search the inspire 4g general forum. There's a dozen threads about how to enable it.
Sent from my time waster.

or look up in google about unknow sources and how to install non market apps its really easy to do so

Inspire 4G is with AT&T correct? I have read that AT&T would not allow you to install unknown apps (3rd party apps) on your android.

SuperOneCLick
for SuperOneClick, follow the instructions, hit "root", wait for it to finish, and hit the one that says sideloading or enable nonmarket apps(i cant remember which) and your phone will have sideloading, superuser, and no root. Just google it

Get the phone on WIFI and go to Settings>then look for HTC Software Update. It'll dl and install the latest radio as well as enable non-market apps.

You have to be rooted to do this.
open your build.prop file (in system) and look for..
ro.product.model=(Insert new device name here) -- I found this entry twice on my Sensation (ARHD 4.1.7)
ro.product.manufacture=(insert the manufacture's name)
If you choose a phone model compatible with the app then you should be able to download it.
Make sure you make a nandroid back up!

Use Root Explorer (Easiest), Terminal (with VI, only if you know VI though), Notepad++ (on a PC)..

Thanks, I was able to make the changes and save it, but I'm not sure if it worked. I could not see We Rule in Android Market.

No, I cannot download it. Not sure why b/c I was able to when I did have a Nexus S. On a side note, before the market was more developed, I was able to download We Rule from teh market but after signing in and loading, I would get a message saying the game was incompatible with my phone. I'm wondering if it's because we do not have a device w/ Tegra 2?

Did it say why it was incompatible? you need to press the small + icon when you are browsing the market on your computer.

"We Rule is currently not available on your device. We're working hard to make the game accessible to everyone. Please check back soon, and try other Mobage games in the meantime."
The + button says "T-Mobile HTC HTC Sensation 4G
This item is not compatible with your device."

Bummer.
We Rule was updated today and still does not work for the HTC Sensation.
