Sidleoading/Unknown Sources - How to enable on New AT&T Official Streak Froyo ROM

So the previous method of #*#*307*#*# no longer worked after I went through downgrading through 3 freaking ROM versions just to have 340 build on my streak. I was PISSED! Some research uncovered the following:
With either ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro (I did it with LP) - Just press an open area like adding a widget.
1. Choose "Shortcut"
2. Choose "Activity"
3. Scroll the resulting list. There will be an EMList entry, under that and EMList installer and an EMList uninstaller.
4. Choose the installer - Click the new widget and the screen will flash & return.
Now go look in the app draw for EMList. The tool has a entry near the bottom (#30) for "App Security" - Update Unknown Resource Property Toggle that on.
Now go to settings, applications... There it is! The entry for allowing Non-Market Apps has been returned.
5. Jot a quick email to AT&T. Subject line = "Bite Me!"
Use these "Engineering Mode Tools" use with caution. If you **** up your phone randomly trying stuff, don't blame me.
UPDATE: As pointed out by KRAD in post 3, the best way to unload the Engineering Mode Apps is to type *#*#308#*#* on the keypad. Don't forget to reboot after that, and the apps will be no longer in the App tray.

You sir, are freak!!!! Have been sitting for days to find how to figure this thing out, THanks alot

can't get rid of the icons one i enabled it... made a shortcut to the uninstaller and it says it can't run.
did this instead in the dialer.. and it worked
*#*#308#*#*

may be easier..... just use superone click and then restart

What does rooting have to do with sideloading or fixing unknown sources?

The button labeled "Allow Non Market Apps (requires root)" might be relevant. SOC does a bit more than root.

Do I have to root the phone before using Launcher Pro or do I use Launcher Pro to root the phone?

superoneclick v1.7 take a few mins to research it here on xda very easy to do! launcher pro don't root its a home app just like adw do some searching its all on here

worked perfectly..thanks

Hi, I used Launcher Pro with this method and cannot uninstall Emlist. I have tried it using uninstaller and using *#*#308#*#* and it is still there in running services. Any help?

So, is the only way to install sideapps not in the android market is purchase an app to make it happen?

You got to reboot your phone after dialing *#*#308#*#*
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App

Yeah, I have rebooted. Tried it several times. I even installed Launcher Pro again and tried to uninstall Emlist. I must be doing something wrong??

Thanks, worked perfectly for me. I bought an unlocked Streak, and got a replacement under warranty... It came locked to AT&T. I got the unlock code from AT&T, but I couldn't install apps from unknown sources... I was pissed!! Thanks again!

Swype Beta

Apparently, the new beta will not work if we've already got it installed.
Shame as some of the add-ons and tweaks sound like a good step forward.
Anyone got any ideas if they'll ever update the versions we've got preinstalled? or is it simply waiting on it to leave beta and end up in the store?

With the SGS1, swype was updated whenever the firmware was updated.

It works, you just have to "force install" it.

I've been using it for over a week now. Works great. Can't sync with Facebook (to get custom words) but other than that I'm typing away.

how do u guys get the new version 3 to install? I download the Installer from Swype.com by login to my account. Then when i run it, it say to disable swype first but i was unable to do that.
Thanks 4 the help!

you could remove swype from /system/app like I did and then install the new version

Yep, you have to force uninstall the stock version, which requires root and something like Titanium Backup.
Or, if you like making things more difficult for yourself, you can go into /system/apps and delete Swype.apk and delete libSwypeCore.so from /system/lib and then install.

cool thanks!

Yesh I realised after we could force install it, I'm gonna leave it and hope they update with the next firmware. I'm running pretty close to stock at the minute, want to get a feel for the phone in it's naked state to start with.
Thanks for all the info guys. Much appreciated.

sweet, I forgot to backup my stock swype though before I uninstalled, what will happen when the beta expires?

so i installed the new version, reboot the phone and then swype isnt swyping anymore, just regular typing works. Then i tried to reinstall it and it said "Generating license failed".. anyone knows the fix for this?

Happened to me too I removed the beta with titanium and reinstalled

I like the principle of swype but find it frustrating to use due to the dictionary giving bizarre choices and editing being counter intuative. I look forward to trying beta 3 of swype but until Samsung deliver it on a future firmware update I'm not using it any more. However I have just discovered SlideIT and a m trying it out, it works just like swype and my opinion is favorable, it seems more accurate and easier to edit mistakes. It is a free trial and the full version costs money but it looks like a good alternative too those of us that don't root and therefore can't have swype beta 3 yet
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

I'd been using the beta for oh maybe 9 months and it only ran out once and all I did was log back into the site and generated another license.
I look forward to Samsung rolling out another version in the firmware. The one installed seemed smoother than my old beta, who knows the new beta might be even better.
Since 2.3 editing wrongly spelt words became much more annoying. Though I swear it's slowly learnt how I type.

So it's not possible without root ?

no apps market

hi
just got a new htc desire hd
and there is no android market on the phone
how can i install it to the phone
thanks

Are you definitely sure that it isn't there? Considering that it does come installed stock.
Otherwise, install it from this link: http://code.google.com/p/synergy-base/source/browse/trunk/system/app/Vending.apk?r=239
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

You really should go back to wherever you bought it from and ask for an explanation.
If that doesn't work out for you, a simple way to install it without connecting it to your computer would be to install ROM Manager and then install Google Apps from there. I personally would take the new Market from the XDAForums.
Hey, if you are going to install the market, it might as well be the new one.

How can he install ROM Manager easily without the Market, and what use would that be? I've merely provided the apk, that's all there is to it.
To the OP, remember to allow installing from unknown sources under Settings > Applicationa
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

I see your point.
I was just assuming that if he didn't have the market, he probably didn't have some g apps either.
Doing it either way is easy enough, and in any case, and if you're going to install through an apk, then you might as well take the new one (that said, I haven't checked out your link as yet).

Does ROM Manager give a flashable package or a bunch of apks? Because again, if he isn't rooted, he can't flash zips either...knowing ROM Manager, I'm presuming they are zips.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

ROM Manager deals with installing Google Apps the same way it deals with any other ROM. It is a pretty useful thing tto hhave, especially because a lot of ROMs ship without Google apps.
So yeah, I'm guessing that you would have to root.

That's really strange, I've had no problems at all with mine! What ROM are you running? Maybe its a bug?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Sugggest you back to shop to ask for an explain. By default it comes with HTC Sense and all Google apps. If you sure it is not there, maybe the shop flash you another customized rom?

as far as know its the standard rom the phone came with
its wasn't root etc.
its not a UK phone its from Kuwait but it has English etc on it
i was wondering if it doesn't have apps market as standard in that country??
i got it online so would mean posting back, emailed them and that dont understand why it didnt have the market on.

If you go to settings > about phone > software, could you post the info from there on here please? Just to determine whether your ROM is standard or not

You can get the latest Android Market.apk from here.
(It's also on XDA in a few threads.)

Hmm...all stock. Strange.
Did you install the Vending.apk from my link, and did that work? 1.86 is very old, that might be why it doesn't work as well.
If mine didn't work, I can fetch the previous version for you.

[Q] about rom

Hello im new user of htc hd2 i use Rom SENSATION XL V 3.0 stock ALL IN ONE (Marc v0.1.8 ker) and got question. I play many games that offer free in-game currency only need to install other applications recommended from game, problem is that game does not redirect me to the page with this application, site is not available( site working fine i check on other phone) I think that rom probably has some sort of ad-block applications that you are able to tell me what this application is? i ask Haldric but he dont answer me. as i mentioned i am a new user of android
regards Shadi
ps. sry for my english

Install Rom Toolbox go to "Ad Blocker" function and uncheck all and click "Download & Install Hosts". Then the add-block will turn off.

[APP] [ROOT] PowerSim: Simulate power button - Final

Has the power button of your phone become less responsive..??
I searched a lot for an app that simulates the short press as well as long press of power button and stumbled upon this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1564174 The thread and the links provided therein helped me to create a task in tasker that simulates the power button.
So, I made a task that simulate the power button and by using tasker's App factory converted the task into an app.
This app doesn't require tasker to be installed.
This app is for:
1. Who doesn't want to remap the power button.
2. Who doesn't want to install app that eats screen space.
3. Who often uses the expanded desktop feature in Paranoid Android roms. (like me)
This app is for rooted phones only.
Installation procedure:
1. Copy the app to the sd card and install like any other app.
2. On first run it will ask to install secure settings plugin. Accept and install.
3. Run the app. You will be presented with two options Screen off & Power menu. Select your option.
4. The app will take time to load and it will try to gain superuser access. Grant it. Note that this happens only in first two runs of the app. The app will be more responsive later.
Tips:
1. If you don't like the notification toast to pop up in every run of the app use supersu. It has an option to disable the notifications.
Download:
Version 1: http://db.tt/5OvP4Z0L
Final version : http://db.tt/PwNIpFQl
Tested on:
Paranoid Android 2.52 (JB)
Oxygen GB
Credits :
JDevil for his post.
Tasker app
PS: I'm not a developer.. Made this app for my convenience and thought of sharing it.

Screen shots
There is nothing to 'see' in the app, but anyways here are some screen shots. Do test and report.

Oh.. It seems that the app is removed from play store. There is an alternative to this plugin named secure settings. I'll try and use this in the next version. I still have locale execute plugin in my phone. But I'm not sure I'm allowed to mirror it. Better to wait for next version.

Made a new version using secure settings.. Please test and report.
