I recently acquired a Dell Streak and ditched my IPHONE4. I love my Dell Streak. One questions though about rooting. What's the point? When I had my iphone 4, i had to jailbreak it so I can install non-appstore apps. With dell streak I can just simply check to allow non market apps to installed? so what's the point of rooting? what's the benefit? I thought the benefit was to enable you install apps from non market source, but it can be done without rooting, right? Am I missing something?

Hey Guys.
So as I have said in title, what is the best way to remove some of the apps that were included with the phone? Specifically I wish remove CoPilot trial, the outdated Facebook app and the outdated Windows Live apps.
I searched the boards but I didn't really find what I was looking for. Thanks guys.
The only way now is to flash a custom ROM. Someone may come up with a differentsolution some day, but not yet.
Hey guys,
This might be really stupid but Launcher Pro has expired and I can't install any of the new files. I am using shubcrafts android build btw.
Is there any way of installing it? I have also allowed android to install foreign apps (so to speak).
Thanks.
Also it wont let me access anything and just keeps opening up a web browser. I replaced the android file but that didn't do anything. I am thinking of just installing a new build.
a coworker of mine had the same issue today. I'm just reposting the link from another website, since I typically come to xda to find answers to stuff like this... either manually type this into your ANDROID browser, or if you could somehow make it to this page from your phone, just click this link... from your phone lol
market://search?q=pnamerg.adw.launcher
it is the direct adwlauncher link to the android market!
hope this helps! =)
I have had my Venue for about 2 weeks and it won't root or allow me to sideload apps. I did buy it from Dell but on AT&T contract. I am unsure if it's an AT&T issue or if this is for everyone. I talked to dell technical support and they had me install the mysync application on my computer, but form what I can tell it does just photo backups. Anyone else having these problems or know a fix??
Android 2.2.2
Baseband GTOUB1A132131-US
BUILD NUMBER 15696
321 is like 340/352 on the streak.
Just search on how to enable it for 340/352 and the steps will be more or less identical.
I wrote THIS but I havnt actually tested it thorughly so it might be missing details
Thanks a ton Manii, didn't know streak stuff would work on it.
hi guys,
i have had an android phone (not rooted, stock) for a while. I recently brought an android tablet, archos arnova 7c g2 running gingerbread.
i know how to set the security on my phone, the tablet however is a bit more complex. the option to set a security lock is not listed in the settings and i can't find anything on the marketplace that will provide this function.
can anyone help? maybe recommend an app?
also i have been looking at rooting it to see if it unlocks the feature. i am new to android and have no tech/programming knowlege. would it be worth pursuing rooting? or is there another way to secure the device?
i am very happy with the tablet, it does everything i need, i would feel a lot happier if i could secure it in case one of the kids should play with it and lose data.
thanks in advance
jay
You mean you cannot find the option in settings>location and security?

also i want to know if there is an update to android 4.0 or 4.1 for the dell streak 5.
please don't be mad that i posted this when it's all around the forum, becuase i have found some stuff but like i said the wifi and camera have to work.
