I have used SuperOneClick to root my phone, and am now trying to use it to enable non-market aps. When I do, I get the following message:
Checking value... (requires root)
Non-market applications are disabled.
Allow non-market apps... (requires root)
OK
Checking value... (requires root)
FAILED​
Can anyone let me know what I need to do to enable non-market aps?
Did you try a non market app Install to make sure it wasn't working?

Bro...same thing here. What I did was flash to just about any rom and the rom will allow to install non market apps. Also, on the market there is an app that allows you to install apps from the SD card. So you could go to getandroidstuff.com and download the .apk, put on your cappy, and use the app to install. But personally I like the ROM! Yee

Sorry, I never got an e-mail that I got a reply.
Yes, I've tried to download the new Amazon market but get an error message that I can't install non-market aps.
There is a second way. It involves tibu and a brain.
1. Find settings storage in an Sqlite editor, I use sqlite from the market, it costs money but it is worth it.
2. Find the database in settings storage and open it
3. Click on secure
4.look at the first column, find allow non market apps.
Change the value for the non market apps from 0 to 1
5. Save the database.
You may need to reboot but that shouldn't be necessary
If it is already a 1 then change it to a zero and save then do it again.
Also before you do this download the super one click again and try it with the newly downloaded one click.

is there any app that does this? it's getting annoying to use astro file manager, checking all the apps i want to install, and then still giving permission to each app to be installed. tried searching, but yielded no relevant results.
I don't know whether you can do it via graphical UI, but surely you can use ADB and simple shell script to install from your PC.
Code:
for APP in `ls *.apk`; do
adb install $APP
done
I think it's possible also from terminal emulator with similar script - replace adb with pm, but I didn't test this one.

Are you restoring apps after a wipe/reset? Try titanium backup, it does backups and every data off every app and just by doing a batch restore everything goes back to how it was previously

Android Commander can do bulk install, just plug in your phone whilst on normal mode, dont activate mass storage, and you can batch install - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=597098
Perhaps even this app can achieve the same result - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585085
Droid explorer can do this easily
thanks, everyone! yes, this was because i installed a new froyo rom(chromatic 4.4).
it took awhile, but i got android commander working, and was able to install all my apps using it.
just having a weird issue now;
so, as mentioned, i used android commander to install all my apps. they all seem to have installed on the phone, however, and not on the SD card. i have "allow application moving" checked, and "install location" set to 'automatic'. i am able to move the applications 1-by-1 in settings > manage applications > downloaded, then clicking on the application, and then pressing "move to sd card". why aren't the apps being installed to the sd card? how can i move them all at once? i really don't want to move each app, one at a time. thanks
I have some non-market apps that i downloaded on my computer. Is there a certain place I am supposed to copy the .apk on the phone or am I supposed to use a program? I've heard some thing about AppsInstaller but I am still not 100% sure about how the process goes. I've got the OCLF and Titanium back-up working so I'm pretty sure my root is good as well.

Go into the Market and search for "Astro". Its a file manager. Once you've downloaded it open it up and go to whatever directory that you saved the apk's to. Select whichever apk you want to install, and the default application installer should come up. Also if you have the Vibrant you could use the stock file manager. Hope this answers your?.

I just got a new captivate 2.2 out the box how can I enable non market apps or unknown sources?

The way I have done that is to first root your phone using Shortfuze's superoneclick root. There is also an option on that program to allow non-market apps.
ATT recently pushed an update that allowed non-market apps to be installed. This was to specifically accommodate the installation of the Amazon App Market. However nothing shows up the the settings where you are supposed to click the radio button/ check box to allow non-market apps, they just install. Try installing a non-market *.apk and if it works your phone is currently allowing non-market apps. It was working for me. If it's still not working and you don't want to root. Sideload Wonder Machine works great. Only downside to that is that it involves the use of a computer and USB cable. It is far easier than sideloading though the android sdk though.
Hi, I am having problem with installation of non-market applications. It keeps telling me "installation unsuccessful". I have checked the non-market and cleared my cache. I have also rooted my htc dream but it won't work.pls can anyone tell me how to make it install?thanks
what is the proses you are going through to download an non market app? often i find i need to download them to my computer then put it in my memory card and then open it on the phone with root explorer or linda or whatever you use. but only some .apk files will work depending on the rom you have installed

Thanks but I have not installed any rom yet.I only rooted.can I use the root explorer or Linda?will it work?
it will depend on the .apk, give it a shot, linda is free in the market. after you download your 3rd party app, open it with linda and see what happens if it tries to download but then you get an error at the end the app may not work for your phone/firmware.

If the app downloads but installation fails, usually its because the app requires a newer android version

I have the AT&T Galaxy Tab SGH-I987 rooted but I still can't figure out how to install non market apps. I've looked all over youtube, google and even here. Can anyone help me? I know it's more simple than what I'm making it out to be...
just download the apk (or download from PC and put in the sdcard).
Then use a file explorer like root explorer or ES File Explorer and click on it.
Also remember to check Settings > Applications > Unknown Sources. You probably did, but no harm in making sure.

The AT&T version does not have this setting... Apparently they blocked it. When I try to install from SD card it will not allow... Is there anyway around this without rooting?
Use installer apps like File browsers, Back up and restore apps etc..
