[Q] What to do after rooting samsung Captivate? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just rooted my samsung captivate and got "super permission" folder to my phone. so what is the next process in order to get 3rd party apps and games?

Apps and games? You get them from the market like usual. Most will say ' for root only'

Did you really just ask this question?
Most people do what the second poster suggested, you can use the android market or appbrain or even just look for apk's online and see what works. Is this your first mobile phone ever or are you pulling our legs I should mention you do not need to be rooted in order to get games and apps on your phone, only certain games and apps require the phone to be rooted.

yaa
This is my first "Android" mobile that's why i don't have enough information about it.
Thanks though

Just giving you hell haha. If you haven't already found out android market is tied to a gmail account. appbrain is an app you can download which is also very popular and it is too many better then the android market app.

Guys...he asked how to get 3rd party apps. Sheesh, you act like he's stupid. Refer to this for enabling 3rd party apps:

P.S. I would recommend you use method two, way easier and much less of a risk for you to mess something up. Also, here is a video tutorial for method two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo9BIRXvNfw&feature=related

Bud, the original post was edited after our comments so how about you pay attention to what is going on. Secondly some good ribbing is all that was going on prior to the op changing their question. So get off your horse and kick yourself if you think we are being too hard, I know I wasn't. Here is the original quote that if you would have read my first post you would have seen what they asked.

AdFree is a little app I made to make ads disappear, all it does is point known ad hostnames to 127.0.0.1 but it's quite effective. It's still available on Android Market.
Backup for root user ,can be found at market

Friends can send recommendations for apps to your phone??

I tried searching for this but I could not find anthing on it, sorry if this is a repost.
Today I recieved a notification on my phone that said "A friend has recommend an app for you" or something to that extent. I selected it and it opened the browser, then opened the market and took me to the listing for some horoscope app.
This is the first time this has happened so I have no idea how that took place. Is this a feature in the Market place, or did some app do this by itself? Anyone have this happen to them?
this sounds interesting. I would also like to find out. I checked the market menus and nothing led me to this.
i believe the app you're looking for is aTrackDog. long press on an app from the list of installed apps and there is a "share with friends" option that posts a link to the app.

But I don't have aTrackDog, so I don't think it would be able to pop up a notification oh my phone.
Did you ever find out if your friend had actually sent some sort of recommendation? Reason I ask is perhaps your friend isn't actually sending the recommendation but the horoscope app your friend has download is without their knowledge...considering that the recommendation is for the same app in both cases :/

It never told me which friend so I have no idea.
I'm just gonna guess that whichever dev made that horoscope app might have made some other app that I DO have and thats how i got the notification.

Are there any apps like these on the Nexus One?

I was wondering if there are any apps like "cydia" or "install0us" on the iPhone or even like "OMarket" on windows mobile?
Nope... no alternative markets AT ALL for Android. Not sure where you'd get that idea.
unlike the iphone or win-mo, its easier for devs to submit apps to the android store... so there's not need for an alternate store

Lol...except there IS an alternate store. SlideMe is available... My original post was only because the guy asked a question that could easily have been answered by searching.

There actually is. Aptoide / Blapk Market.
apktor ftw
thanks for the real responses, very helpful...
uansari1 there is no need for your response, it could have been omitted...if you wanted to emphasize that I should have just searched (which I did) then you could have said so without giving a smart *** response which leads to nothing productive and just an up in your post count (maybe thats what you want? ) honestly...what do you get out of your initial response ? nothing...what -maybe a laugh? (a mild chuckle at that ?) haha seriously...I hate when people post these condescending/ lame responses...but I understand if someone is trying to say just search or something, should have avoided your response and just said your intended message directly
any ways- thanks for ALL responses...I appreciate your feedback/ advices...

Me and this Android online market (https://market.android.com/) website don't like each other...
There is a problem with this website's security certificate.
The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address.
Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.
We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website.
Now call me a tight arse security freak but seems to me that a company the size of google could sign their certificates correctly.
Guess me and this online market will never be doing business.

4.1.83 Non-market apps check box

For those of you like me that cant stand that the check box for non market apps is completely gone in 4.1.83 and apparently Atrix did not make the Today OTA fix from ATT this is a quick how to to correct this over-site
#Need SQLite Editor from market & Root
1. Open SQLite Editor
2. Scroll down to Settings Storage (com.motorola.android.providers.settings)
3. Click settings.db
4. Click Settings
5. Scroll to _ID 107 "force_only_market_apps"
6. Press hold and select option change value
7. change value to 0
8. Save
9. Enjoy
Umm the non market application check box is there for me? what are you talking about
don't know what to say to that , mine was not there in the menu at all ever sense the latest update... either way it is still another way to enable non market apps from anywhere with out using a separate program
please search before posting, this was already posted and for a few weeks has been included in gladenabler.

thanks for your concern... how ever everyone may not want to use gladenabler , many people also dont use windows, and this does not require a computer at all, if what i posted is not for you than dont use it this was a problem i had and the solution i used to fix it, really isn't a need for you to waste your precious time to post a negative post is there ?
wow guys ways to be dicks... my god, the man just wanted to share something he found out with us! AND he is a respected dev!

Yea, I posted this a while back in a couple of the other sideloading treads as another option. The only thing I think you need to add to your OP is that you need to be rooted to do it.
It's not a bad idea to have a separate tread for this, but maybe it should be in the themes and apps tread since it is really just an app? (maybe that is just me)
And this is a VERY easy way to enable it.

thanks t0dbld this post was useful, and thanks for all your contributions to atrix development.
Hay thanks and @Gr8Danes sorry for the redundancy than , despite popular thought i did search first and only saw the manual way listed (SQLite on mac or linux and using adb) ... must have missed it, anyhow i just posted this because if your like me and working on your phone than you probably wipe and re-flash on an almost daily basis, this has than screwed me because i was than out and about and went to install something i needed from sd card and it was locked, so .. this was how i enabled it from the road... its never been a huge secret just a matter of looking any how like i said its here and if it helps you like it did me GREAT if not suck it up because currently XDA only has a Thank You button and doesn't support the "I already Knew that Dummy" button
Thank you. I couldn't find the original post to enable it. Glad you posted this!

Hay, no problem man, it was buried in the tread, so that's why I thought that it wasn't a bad idea for a tread for it alone. Besides, it happens to even us that search and search for stuff in treads, and still can't find what we were looking for, but we gave it a valiant effort.
You devs have my greatest respect, so don't think I was trying to say anything negative. Keep up the good work man, you guys have taught me so much.

Cool stuff thanks T0dbld. And for the people that already have it on their phones without running anything to enable it I believe this only applies to AT&T phones they're the only ones that block 3rd party
But thats just my 2 cents

since there were previously 11 posts explaining how to do this (yes, 11), and without even needing to install an app from the market, rather just plain adb, yes this wasn't needed
