I just received my tablet, and I was wondering how to side load apps to the tablet. I usually use handcent for texting, it's incompatible with this tablet. Using a tablet is awesome, but it is going to take some getting used to. Thanks
hi, if you want to install aps form MSD card (for xmpl) you need to:
settings > security > unknown sources > allow installation of non-market apps
Yah, I did check that, It seems that not many apps are compatible with tablets. Thanks for the reply
Isn't handcent a messaging app?
Why would you like to install it on the tablet. Don't see any practical reason. And with this in mind, of course is not compatible
handcent wont get your text messages from your phone. you need something like Table Talk or SyncSMS
If you have a Google voice account, you can use grooveip to make and receive calls, and gvoice Google app for texts. Of course you need a Wi-Fi connection, or Wi-Fi hotspot like I have on my sensation will work too.

after you checked that, just get the apk file you need to sideload, then use any file manager to run that file, install.

New Market. http://market.android.com.
UPDATE: We can sign in now. When going to download an app it offers a list of what device to install it to. My only Android device is my G Tablet and the market lists it as NVIDIA VEGAn-Tab-V1.0.0.B5.1.
Technically an web-based app market should offer us an "full" app market, no? i'm sure every app is visible, i guess the question now is after we log in will the app market recognize our device and attempt to block certain apps from us, or would an app that doesn't show up on the Gtab just give us an app not found when we click on it from the Gtab browser?

Correct when trying to sign into market.android.com you get a invalid request both on the PC and Gtab and Phone.
They mentioned that when you select an app, it will list the available devices you can push it to, based off your registered devices features and OS.
I take this to mean that if you can't see it in the Market on your device.....your device want be listed as a choice to install for those apps on the web.
Oh..and this is typically for you to do from your home/work/public library computer.....browse the apps, select what you want and it installs to your phone. You still use the "Market" app on the devices (phones/tablets).

I wonder if this will be unusable for people with devices that aren't intended to have access to the Market like our beloved G Tabs. Will Google let you OTA install to a device that they think shouldn't be there?

If all the apps aren't showing up, just use the market hack. Go to the task manager, force stop and clear the browser cache and reboot.

Sprint User - Sucessfully downloaded Indycar App from Market
If you have root, Install Market Enabler: This will allow you to temporarily set your phone to appear as a Verizon phone and download the Indycar App. Just did it and it works.
Description of Market Enabler:
"A SIM Tool application to change the SIM issuer code in the running system (not permanent, will be original after reboot or flight mode)
This application is ad supported, please see my other applications to get a donate key that will remove the ads ;-)
Precondition to use this tool is
- Rooted phone
- su app
- busybox"
Works for download the app but after the app seeks for Verizon network to authenticate.
Yeah, I've got a rooted Cliq that I downloaded the IndyCar App with, but it needs a Verizon data connection to enable the app. I think this is probably a similar check as my girlfriends Evo3D's NASCAR app, which needed a Sprint connection.
1. Any way to fool the app into authenticating?
2. Any way to transfer an authenticated app?
Perhaps someone with a verizon connection could create a backup after it authenticates the first time so that others can restore?
Would that work?

I did this by downloading and running the app on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus, then copying the backup to my Transformer Prime (non-Verizon). It bypassed the check, but alerted me that I was running a non-supported device and closed. I looks like not only does it do a network check, but also a device compatibility check. So no-go for me.

Hmm, that stinks. I 'downloaded' the app on my Dad's iPhone. It looks like it was just a web page that added an icon to his home screen. It was originally open in safari, and in the menu, there was an option to add the page to the homescreen. After that it seemed to work like a normal app. On the iPhone, it seems like it was just a link to a webpage.
I wonder how hard it'd be to decompile this thing and take out these checks?
Also, if you want to stream IMS radio from the webpage on an android, it looks like you need to set your useragent to the desktop. The streaming audio didn't work on racecontrol.indycar.com until I did that. I used Dolphin to change the user agent.
I would like to run it on my Galaxy nexus.
Zulucap - any chance you can share your backed-up app with me?
I have a backed up indycar mobile apk that installs gets threw the network check but fails because my device is not supported. If anyone has the knowledge to figure this out I would make it worth their while. Let me know and I can send the back up files.

if you have root change the name in the build.prop. use adb or ROM toolbox pro app, there is a setting called build.prop editor. pm me if it works. i would do this with netflix app back in the day. you have the find the name of the phone the backup came from, and change yours to that. ---this is how devs change the device name when you see a crazy ass phone name ex DARKSIDE Galaxy it is cap sensitive. ex. to get netflix on my nexus i would change Samsung to samsung. hope this helps

It's easy enough to get it installed on a non-Verizon phone, but when you open the app, it still complains about not being on a Verizon network. I'm wondering if the initial load has to happen over a Verizon IP connection to "verify" the app. If that's the case, I wonder if you could launch it with a data connection shared via a Verizon hotspot? I guess if it can force the initial connection via the cell radio, this wouldn't work.
To install it on a non-Verizon device, you can go to the webpage play store and push it to your device.

QUOTE=enzola;14367849]~Information~
The following are instructions that I have come up with to unlock the "Unknown Sources" option on non rooted Android phones that do not have the option available. By unlocking this option you will now have the ability to install non "Android Market" applications such as "TeamViewer" and more
~Warning~
This was performed in a HTC Inspire 4G so results may vary for each phone
THIS PROCESS WILL RESET YOUR CONFIGURED SETTINGS TO THE DEFAULT (Display, Ringtone, Wallpaper, etc.) BUT DO NOT WORRY BECAUSE IT ISN'T PERMANENT. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS RECONFIGURE IT AND ITS WORTH IT IF YOU ARE UNLOCKING THE OPTION "Unknown Sources"
1. Go To Your "Settings"
2. Go To "Applications"
3. Go To "Manage applications"
4. Go To The "All" Tab (or any tab that will display all your apps)
5. Find The Applications "Customization Settings Provider"
6. Click On "Clear data"
7. Go Back To "All" Tab (or any tab that will display all your applications)
8. Find The Program "Settings"
9. Click On "Clear data"
Finished
If You Go Back To "Applications" You Will Now Have The Option To Enable "Unknown Sources"
If It Worked For You Please Submit "Yes" in the poll. If it didn't please submit "No" in the poll. I would also be glad if you submitted a reply to the thread to keep it alive.

I'm super interested in this thread.
The only reason I'm wanting to root my phone is to access more apps. I'm cool with the stock rom and radio, and I will never change to another network. I bet there are a lot of folks in the same boat with me. Maybe someone could develop an app that resets critical AT&T settings after performing gamanunited's steps to enable the unknown sources tab. Then if someone could develop something like crudscraper to get rid of the At&T bloatware, we'd really be in business.
I am receiving a new HTC Inspire form AT&T Monday or Tuesday.
Do you think the phone will already include this sideloading update.
good question, let us know
Will do.

Any fix for mms yet?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
For those who just want to be able to sideload apps, there is a safer way of doing it. But it requires the use of a rooted phone...maybe a friends phone who can loan to you long enough to setup your Google account. You need to setup a specific Google account and sign into it on a rooted phone. Allow it to backup all settings and apps...make sure to install a few non-market apps. Once finished, hard reset your Inspire so that it will set up again like a new phone and sign into the saved Google account. It should restore all system settings and market apps and you will be able to sideload apps. It won't give you the "Unknown sources" checkbox but it will allow you to install non-market apps.
It might help to use an HTC Sense-based rooted phone.
Cheerio
No You don't Need that. All you need is Super One Click and choose the enable Unknown Sources tab. You will not have the check box but you will be able to add 3rd party applications.

That requires rooting. The process I explained does not required your Inspire to be rooted. You just need to use a rooted phone to make this work.
Superone Click Does not really root the phone. The phones image is protected...This only gives you temporary root which in turns lets you enable Unknown Sources. It works I have been using it for Months. I just wanted to see the Unknown Sources Tab with this fix.
I used SuperOneClick before AT&T pushed me the update. It does not root and it works. No side effects neither. Once you download it you can do it in two minutes then just restart.

Just tried this. Got unknown sources. No HTC wallpaper until restart. SMS works MMS does not. Don't need to send pics that often anyway.
It seems ridiculous....
that you have to lose MMS capability in order download non market apps even though AT&T has an update for this.
So no one has found an apn that will restore mms yet? My wife is angry with me for killing her mms......

Thanks for this. Ive been wondering why all the market enablers disappeared.
cant get to work
ive tried it and all i get is t-mobile stuff still. I'm running arhd 2.2.1 which is based on the leaked ics build i believe. I've changed it through the app to different providers and it doesn't do much.
this app looks almost exactly like this one: Market Enabler. From what I saw, the only difference was the icon. It has the exact same markets to choose from.
This is their webpage: Market Enabler webpage. It's minimal, and pretty bare bones.
Other useful information:
Wiki Mobile Network Codes. This gives a list of codes for carriers world wide which can be used in the "set custom"
If this is the same app, then key information to know:
Market Enabler said:
Do I need to donate to get this working?
No, definitly not.
A donate is an appriciation to the developer/s but it's not the same as buying a software.
In case of MarketEnabler, a donate will get you a donate key that removes ads from the application and adds some beta functions that are still in testing.
I donated trough PayPal but haven't received the donate key
Please look into your SPAM folder as it is an automated script that sends you the key.
If you don't get an answer after 24 hours, please email me at [email protected].
I only get "we have a problem houston "
Are you sure that you have a working su binary and busybox (or at least the killall command) installed and granted root rights to MarketEnabler when it got requested?
Preconditions
#1 root
To be able to change the systems runtime configuration (what MarketEnabler does) you will need access as a root user to the system.
MarketEnabler expects that you will have a file called "su" on your system (and in the global path) that will open a root shell.
#2 busybox
The commands that are used, are not always part of the Android system.
Most rooted phones have busybox on board as it's common to install it during the rooting process or included in most custom roms.
If you don't have busybox, I recommend using the busybox installer from stericson on the market.

Make sure you kill Google Play Store from "Manage Apps > All" first.
Alternatively, you can do it manually:
1. Kill Google Play Store from "Manage Apps > All".
2. Go to MarketEnabler, under "Set custom" tab, input that specific country market code you wanted to visit.
3. Select "Set to this values".
4. Go to Google Play Store.
5. Enjoy!

Hello everyone.
I'm writing today to see if anyone is willing to help a newbie out with this:
There is a certain app that I feel got ruined with its latest update, and I'd much rather stay with an older version.
Is there a way to tell the playstore to not offer me updates for that particular app anymore? I guess I could just ignore the notifications, but they bother my OCD.
I'm using an unrooted aosp phone under android 10, if it matters.
Best regards.
If you don't use wifi, disable it then set Playstore to only auto update by wifi.
I keep invasive Playwhore disabled except when I rarely needed it.
Use ApkExport to make an installable copy of that version of the apk, just in case.
APK Export (Backup & Share) - Apps on Google Play
Manage and extract your apps.
play.google.com
You can make the same application with different application name with AppCloner. It won't offer update like that.
