This is a pretty easy process. I went in to Root Explorer - dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings, copied settings.db to my sd card, edited it on my pc with a db editor changed 0 to a 1 next to non market apps. Copied it back to the original directory, rebooted and installed a non market app.
Please use caution. If you want to make sure the db save properly open it on your sd card before you copy and replace the original. It should open up as a readable table. If it opens up in a txt editor its corrupt. This permanently enables non market apps. You can not toggle it on and off.
I will try and post pictures soon.

Does it mean th after this you are able to install any 3rd party application with no restrictions?
Thanks
You can actually do it through firefox too. There's a firefox addon called 'SQLite manager' that you can use to edit the file, if you don't want to download a separate program.
Root Explorer is the pay program on the market? Any free alternitives?
Are you just trying to install non-market apps on the Captivate? If so, then just download the usb driver for the Captivate and then Droid Explorer (may also need SDK installed; not sure). With Droid Explorer, you can easily load non-market apps within seconds. Good solution for a non tech guy like me.
Being brand spanking new to Android, still have question. I like very specific instructions.
Do you download files to whatever directory you want to make and put the files in? Then is there an option to select, and do install? My background is WinMO, so on that you can just use a file explorer and double click or tap, and it installs.

So if I installed "PDAnet" for tethering it will work after rooting?
Thanks for the answer
PDA Net will work without rooting. Just put your phone on airplane mode and enable wifi. Go to the market and download it. Once it is downloaded you can turn off airplane mode and you're good to go.

Where do you see the 0, the one you recommend to change to a 1? I only see lots of squares.
So... Thank you so much for this info. I downloaded your file and put it into the correct DIR and have non market apps installing with no problem. However I can not get Titanium backup to work correctly. =/ When I try to restore an app it says installing and I have to force close titanium to get it to stop. Probably about half the apps I try and do this for install the other backups do not. Is any one else having any issues like this or know how to fix it?

Where did you see the number to change? Mine just looks like a bunch of gibberish
When into this dir dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings and cant find any files. Using linda
I used this DB editor instead
http://sqlitestudio.one.pl/index.rvt
connect to the settings.db file, on the left side click Tables, and then click Secure. It will show a grid on the right with _id, name, value etc. Click the Data tab, in the search box type market. And there should be only one value that shows up as "install_nonmarket_apps". Set the value to one. Refersh it and then copy it back to your phone.

How the heck do you do this? I have Droid Explorer installed but not BusyBox. I have Windows 7 and can't figure out how to get BusyBox on my phone. I have rooted the phone but that's about it. in Droid Explorer when I connect to my phone it shows nothing!
There is an old thread I have been posting the latest hacked versions on but that thread seems to be dead.
So here is where I will continue to post the latest version of the Flash libflashplayer.so file you can replace the version on your gTab with for tricking sites like Hulu to think you're coming from a PC rather than a mobile device.
Just install the latest official Flash from the Market. Then, using Root Explorer replace the libflashplayer.so file in your "/data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib" folder with the version that is in this zip file. Then you should be good to go with Hulu as long as you have set your browser's User Agent to Desktop.
This file is for Flash version 11.1.111.5

Just used this on my HTC Sensation 4G! Thanks!!!!
(Everyone remember to change to permissions to rwxr-xr-x )
You can test via http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html (Should say "WIN" for the version).
Hulu via Dolphin Browser (set to Desktop) outputting to my 46" HDTV = Awesome!!!
Could you explain the permissions briefly? Thanks!
Bye the way, I have root.

Paul22000 is taking about file permissions on the libflashplayer.so file (like read/write etc.) Here is link that explains it further. Wikipedia
Although I have to say I didn't have to change file permissions on my file and it works fine for me.

Interesting. I would assume that since the old file has those permissions set, it would be a good idea to set the same permissions for the replacement file. I'll have to test that next time!

Sorry about that. The file is there now.
Not sure what I'm NOT doing, but followed the instructions to a tee on both my Acer Iconia A500 and my Gtablet running FB9.0. Tried with Opera, Dolphin and Android browser. Changed permissions, uninstalled/reinstalled browsers & flash.
Flash is latest version..

What exactly is it doing? Is it playing at all? Is it displaying a message? If you followed the instructions and installed the latest Flash from the Market and then overwrote the libflashplayer.so file in the zipped attachment AND you changed the User Agent setting on your browser to be Desktop then you should be good to go.
If you're not sure what User Agent setting you have you can type about:debug in the address bar of your browser (I use the stock browser) and hit "enter". The screen won't change but now if you go to Menu and Settings you should see UAString towards the bottom of the list. Select that and you can see and change what User Agent setting you're using.
well,it worked pretty well for a while last night. when i reboot it loses the flash setting and becomes 'and' rather than 'win'. i know this was a problem before,is there a fix?
Sorry, guess that would help, lol. I just get the standard message from Hulu that my device is not supported yet, I changed the UA as well from the beginning.
Followed the steps; Flash barely works then sputters out
I have followed these directions and have so far been mostly unsuccessful at running Flash.
Just to review, I uninstalled my ROM's hacked version of Flash (Flashback 10.0). Then installed the current version in Market. Using Root Explorer I find the libflashplayer.so file and rename it to libflashplayer.so.old. I have the special libflashplayer.so file in my Dropbox, so I copy it and paste it into the data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/ folder. Change the permissions to match the original file (matching the permissions screenshot from an earlier post).
At this point I go through attempting to test Flash in stock Browser, Dolphin & Opera. All browsers have user agent set to Desktop. Browser and Dolphin never work through repeated tests (and repeated uninstallations, reinstallations and copying the special lib file). Opera works occasionally, and barely. When loading the Find Flash page (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html) Opera typically doesn't want to load it as a normal page. After repeated refreshing it will work and report that I'm running Flash on Linux, Debug player is no, and the capabilities and enabled are all Yes.
I go to a Tumblr with soundcloud and other mp3 flash players. These will load, but about a second after the audio begins to buffer the player changes to "error." I can only get each player to load a few seconds of audio (it will continue playing the rest of its buffer after "error" appears).
Going to Hulu I usually get a blank darkness where the player should be. Sometimes I get it to "Loading..." with the spinning circles, but it never finishes loading.
Anyone got any ideas or tricks on how to to get this half-baked Flash to work a little better?
One more observation: if I leave this Flash installation (with the special lib file) installed and then reboot, it undoes the process. Using Root Explorer I go back to the lib folder and there is no so.old file, and the libflashplayer.so file now has the modified date of the original (sometime in 2009).
no matter what version of flash I use I cant get Hulu to play correctly currently
this is in the hulu plus app, on the website, and will multiple different roms
most of the time it will freeze video playback while the audio plays during the show, after a commercial plays it will usually just stop playing and not load back to the show
i dont know whats up with hulu right now...
ive heard rumors it might be related to hardware acceleration so im planning to go to a froyo rom and see if i can get it to work there
so far there isnt crap to watch on hulu so im not missing it too much
If you are using this modified .so file and have set your user agent in the browser set as desktop and are still having issues with watching a video from Hulu then I would suggest signing into your Hulu account, then go to your Account details page, then click on the Privacy & Settings tab and then go to the bottom right section titled Playback Quality and select 288p. Save your settings and log out and log back in to your Hulu account and then attempt to stream a video.
That's how I have mine set up and I can watch full episodes and I've even watched a couple of old Japanese movies without issues.

I'm running VEGAn 5.1.1. I had another gTab which I've sold but was running CM 7.0.1 on that one and Hulu also worked for me on that one.
just posted updated hacked Flash file
The link is in the original post of this thread.
No Luck
Tried everything posted here to get this Flash to work, and no luck. I'm running FlashBack 10.3 ROM, both stock browser and Dolphin set to desktop, nothing. I'm not looking to use this for hulu really, just pissed off that I can't find a good honeycomb rom with working Flash. Any advice is extremely appreciated. Thanks.

In the Q&A Flashback thread TEK112 reported the newest Flash working on his gTab although he did say that he didn't try video (just saw Flash slide shows working fine).
I was going to try Flashback 10.3 after reading that but now I can't get past adding my Google account to my gTab, it keeps saying that it can't establish a reliable connection to the server so I'm going back to Mountain Laurel 3.1 (which is FroYo) for now where I can watch HULU videos without any problems. But as soon as I see the Flash thing worked out on Flashback I will be attempting to load it up again.
Tried it on Caulk+Clem Combo v8 & Gtab Comb v3.3 & it works on both. Stock browser on CCC v8 & Opera Mobile on GTab Comb. When the commercials trys to play you get a message saying it can't play the content but as soon as the commercial time runs out the actual video starts & plays fine. CCCv8 plays smoother in normal mode & full screen. GTab Comb plays best in normal mode while full screen skips frames.
So I managed to get CM7 on my nook fairly easily just now (latest versions for everything) however when I was up and running it asked me to upgrade my cm7 version in the notification area. I did but now I have no access to the market. I see the icon but nothing happens when I press it. If I goto manage applications, the market doesn't appear there either. Did I miss something?
The market worked previously, although it was the old school android market, not the new one. I thought that was odd, but after the cm7 update, the market doesnt open.
Reflash gapps

Bingo. I got a different version of gapps and flashed that, everything works and I have the new market as well.
+1 on thanks.

You didn't really have to do that if you are running CM7 and CWR off the internal eMMC. Just put the .zip on the card, boot into CWR and install .zip from card.
But since you are up and running I guess the point is moot for you.
So I've come across a different problem. I'm trying to get netflix to work but the market tells me "Your device is not compatible with this item".
I looked around and I think I found a fix but I needed to install ES File Explorer..I went to download that and...
"Your device is not compatible with this item".
Thought maybe I could do it through Astro, but same message.
How do I get around this? Especially sicne any of the tricks I found to do it are unavailable to me because of the very same problem.
Thanks!

I redownload the GAPP's file from the CM7 Wiki and then try reflashing it. I dont know what could've happened but I would try that first. As for the file explorer issue, I would download the Dropbox app on your NC and then on your computer, search for the Root Explorer/ES APK and upload it to Dropbox on your computer and then istall it on your Nook Color. Although, I am running Nightly 202 and the entire Market is working for me with no modifications or anything. I think the fact that one of the nightly's changed the DPI to 160, either way, I still have access to the entire Market without modifications.

I had the same issue. What I did was upgrade to latest via ROM mgr pp WITHOUT checking 'load gapps' option which rebooted into latest CM7 nightly without gapps. Then rebooted into recovery, with gapps 0828 loaded on my sdcard, chose wipe cache option then loaded gapps. rebooted, had to reinit gapps but then it all worked.

You never mentioned what version of CM7 you are running. If it is older than nightly 200, install a newer nightly.

You need to download and flash a nightly above 200.

I just installed `root browser`. I can see all my data folder including the `database` created using `android studio`. But when I try to access the table, `root browser` will crashed. Do I need to download another software in order to access the `database` content ?
