What is sideloadind and how do use it
sideload is mean that you can install an apk from your SDcard.
It also means you can install Amazon App Store (currently blocked by AT&T) and download apps from there.
Its more than that. Sideloading basically allows the installation of third party apps from anywhere, which means that you're no longer restricted to the app market. To enable it use gladenable, which you can find in the development section.

pardon my ignorance, I have not enabled sideloading but I have several APKs downloaded and saved to my SD card. I just use Astro to install them. Is this not what sideloading does? Or am i missing something completely?

It can't be updated because it's protected. Use Titanium Backup to uninstall Moxier. Then you should be able to get the latest version (which I believe you would have to buy).

It's org.microemu.android.MicroEmulator, which is a part of Opera Mini. It can also be used to run other JavaME apps on Android, but I can't find any list of apps that uses it. Did you delete Opera manually or something? Maybe it left some files behind. You could try installing and uninstalling Opera Mini.
Hi guys, I just found that I can install Non-market apps on my non-rooted non-s-off GSM E3D via a third party computer suite(with unkown source checked).
I was surprised as I thought without root I can't install non-market apps & games.
So my question is: Is root absolutely required if I want to side load game & apps I downloaded in my computer? Confused.
Sorry for mentioning Ck'ed app, how do I edit the title then?

No discussion of warez allowed on forums. Cracked apps = warez
But to answer your question, root is not necessary to install apps.

Needless to say you're probably not aware of Amazon's apps, or the spy ware infested apps at some sites. Appbrain is available as an alternative site, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983859.
So this is the affect of apple's closed app store policy, "guilt by inference".
I thought root was required because I was tring to use titanium backup to restore apps from my HD2 and it pops up saying that I need to have root.
Now I can wait more time for the s-off + root then.

I think that is because you need root to backup application data..
OP: With android, you can install any APK you find online.
Android can write to data, while other apps can only write to data for that app only. TB is trying to write other apps data, this is why it fails.

I rooted my nook tablet with the SnowballMod root and everything is working fine, but some of the apps in the android market are missing. I have tried editing the build.prop file and clearing the market data and cache to spoof the market, but it still wont work. does anybody have ANY ideas?
theres not some, more like a lot and thats normal cuz its happening to everyone. apps that dont appear on the market have to be downloaded as .apk files and then transferred to your nooks sd card i use drop box and es file explorer for this procedure
how would i do this? how close are the people to fixing this and being able to install custom roms? i need facebook.
sideloading if it is not working from market.

Copy the .apk to the device and select it in a file explorer program.

It's not technically broken. The market should not show you apps for which your device does not meet the requirements. That doesn't meet they don't work, but that you have to install them another way. After updating my phone to ICS, I had to sideload Tapatalk, since it is not "technically" compatible with ICS, even though it does work.

1) Use the web app (it's pretty good, and doesn't have any background processes)
2) Look for the thread in the App section titled "[download] Facebook, Twitter and Google+ apk"
Hi all,
I wish to try certain apps from Google Play but they show as "Device not compatible" and won't let me install the app.
Is there a way to bypass this?
Thanks.

What you can do is what as known as sideloading the app's apk file. To do this first you will need to find the .apk file for the app you want to install by searching online (Only search for free apps online never sideload paid apps without first having purchased the app and/or contacting the developer of the app first) then once you have the app's apk file transfer it to your phone. Once it's on your phone make sure that the install from unknown sources option is checked under System Settings -> Security -> Unknown Sources. After you have done that navigate on your phone to where you transferred the app that you wanted to install's apk file then click on the app and it will ask you if you want to install the app. After the app is finished installing you are good to go and the app should be ready for you to use. Let me know if you still have questions!
Thanks for the reply.
I have tried sideloading but usually if the app gets updated regularly or requires the most recent update to work (ie. King's Bounty) that is where I come unstuck.
Just trying to find a way to "trick" Google Play to think that my phone (S Advance) is compatible with all apps.

The other options you could try is using the app Market Helper or Market Enabler that allows you to spoof your device and trick's the Play Store into letting you download apps that the Play Store claims are "incompatible with your device".
1_ Hi. Just downloaded tPacketCapture Pro from the following website, and tapped on installing it.
2_ tapping on the apk opened the Messages app and led to SMS restore page.
3_ I closed it immediately, but I'm worried about it. Was that a malware or virus? Does that mean my messages are in danger or have been uploaded somewhere?
4_ phone settings:
* NOT ROOTED.
* ALLOW UNKNOWN SOURCES = OFF.
* I use NoRootFirewall.
Link of the website I downloaded the apk from:
www .apkmonk. com/app/jp.co.taosoftware.android.packetcapturepro/
Most likely. And the fact that you are rooted is a big issue. Also an app can easily hide from apps like that. Never download anything from sites like this. You are just asking for trouble.

Thanks, but my phone is NOT rooted. Does that stop the app from accessing Messages app data?

Oh sorry I read the firewall app wrong. Depends on how it is coded and the permissions you granted it when it installed.

It's alright!
Actually it did not install, and never showed the install page.
It just went straight to the backup section in Messages app.
Maybe it's a script disguised as *.apk file? But is there such script out there that can manipulate message data and backup/restore files?
