I have a brand new AT&T Tab and need assistance. I am able to install non-marketplace apps using Sideload Wonder Machine however I have an interesting problem. I have an app (Lotus Notes Installer) that itself downloads another app and tries to install it but I get the dreaded "For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android Market" message.
I have installed and run z4root and did a temporary root and also installed Superuser and Busybox and I still get the block message.
I am an Android newbie and don't know exactly how to proceed.
Thanks,
Richard
Hey Richard,
I had the same type of problem you did with my AT&T SGT. I also used the Sideload Wonder Machine. Here is link for my situation. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914697
Lotus Note Installer app downloading and installing another app? I have not hit that kind of hurdle. Can you get your hands on the apk that Lotus Note Installer is trying to download and install? Maybe you can istall that through sideload wonder machine?

This may be a stupid question, but have you set your Tab to allow installing of non-market apps? It's in Settings - Applications - check 'Unknown sources'
I do not see an option in my settings for "allow unknown sources", here's what I have:
Settings>Application
Manage Applications
- this doesn't appear to have any options for unknown sources settings
Running Services
- this is only for stopping running services
Development
- only options here are USB debugging, stay awake, allow mock locations
Am I missing something? or did AT&T remove the option from recently shipping tabs? (got mine yesterday)
I was able to sideload the Notes Installer, but once on the Tab, that application connects to the corporate server and attemtps to install another application on the Tab and that is where I get stuck.
Use SuperOneClick. This tool not only allow rooting but has option for allowing install of non-market apps. Simply select that option and it will update your systems settings to allow installs from other than market - sd card, web, etc. I am also using AT&T tab and this worked for me. Note it does not add the menu option of "allow apps from unknown sources" but trust me it works.
Sent from my SGH-I987 using XDA App
I installed the new firmware that allows me to make phone calls using the great instructions provided in theis forum and that resolved my issue and now i can install the Lotus Notes app with no problem. I am really liking the new O/S, it seems a little snappier than the the AT&T one.

You missed nothing - this is just another retarded AT&T carrier customization that they do on all their Android phones (AFAIK!).

Yup, AT&T has removed the "install non-market apps" menu option from their retail Tabs. Very sad that they do that to their customers. I will say the I like their approach to selling the Tab, you pay the retail price and their is no contract to worry about and if you want data you pay on a month-to-month basis, exactly like they do with the Apple iPad. I cannot image getting a subsidized Tab from T-Mobile and getting stuck with a 2 year contract. In this market nobody keeps a phone or tablet for 2 years, it would be a dinosaur by then.
I have a problem with A500 HC 3.1 (038 GEN1)
I regsitered my Gmail account in Android Mrket.
I tried to download free application, but the downlaod start (Downloading) but it always stay in this state.
If I checked on Android web site with my account I can see the device A500 right registered and the Order say "Application download completed" but into A500 I cannot install any applcation.
If I used an Android mobile phone with the same Wifi connection and Android/Gmail account it works.
Hello everyone!
Recently i rooted my NookST with NookManager (i was forced to do it that way because of firmware version). I installed launcher and it works fine, but i found problem accessing google things... In browser, whenever i want to sing in with mu google account, browser crashes and I end up in homescreen... Same thing happens when i want to use Youtube or Gmail app. I tried to install everything using adb, but it failed...
Is there a possibility of getting GApps working or log in using a web browser?
Hey guys, I just want to ask these couple of questions:
1. I want to download an apk from an unknown source (not from google play). Given if it has a backdoor or something in it, will it be removed after I uninstalled it?
2. Is there a way to know if the application is backdoored or not before installing to my device?
3. Is there some applications that automatically blocks an app if it access for example my contacts, gallery or emails?
4. Are there apps that on the permission screens, all are not listed? Let's say on the permission popout only access to gallery is shown but the app can access my messages. Is it possible?
Thanks for the response guys.
I have a Galaxy s4 i9505. Android 4.3 unrooted.
Tried out some apps installed from Google Play onto my NookManager root Nook Simple Touch, but after I uninstalled them, I can't get rid of the entries on the "My Apps" list at Google Play. It seems that function came available when Android Market updated to version 3.9.x of Google Play that is not back-compatible with Eclair 2.1. Any suggestions how to clean up the list when my Android device is the NST?
