Only ways I know of is to root or you could try Sideload Wonder Machine.

go to the market and download
SQlite Editor (it's like $2.99, but this will take less than 15 minutes, so just refund it once you are finished)
once it is downloaded, make sure you have root access, and navigate to:
/system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/
in there you should see a file called settings.db
open that up with sqlite editor
once it's up, look until you find the line that says :
" force_only_market_apps" in it's own cell. to the direct right you will see (in it's own cell) the number 1
simply change the 1 to a 0
so it'll look like this
|force_only_market_apps | 0 |
Thanks guys ill do that. Looks like ill be rooting my phone tomorrow lol

rooting your phone is just too messy. just use sideload wonder machine. its an app that you run on your computer with your phone plugged in via debugging mode. then you just choose the apk to load from your computer, and it will install it. i used this to install gameloft's let's golf and gt racing motor academy and it runs perfectly fine, no rooting necessary.
Thanks for the help guys id rather not root the phone right now since its brand new and im perfectly fine with this froyo until gb is officially released.

I was looking at how yahoo video plug-in uses the HTC front camera and found out that it calls “com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.FrontFacingCamera. getFrontFacingCamera();” to load it. So I baksmali-ed the com.motorola.hardware.frontcamera.jar and changed it to look like the HTC version so YM can use it.
ADB Method (YOU MUST BE ROOTED TO APPLY IT):
1. Extract YMFrontCamADB.zip
2. Connect your device in Debugging mode (Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging)
3. Run YMFrontCam.bat and follow the instructions.
4. Close the process for YM plug-in.
5. Make a video call.
YMFrontCamCWM.zip and YMFrontCWMCamRemover.zip can be used for CWM un/installation
NON-ATRIX devices should use the ADB method as the CWM method is specific for Atrix only. If the ADB method doesn't work, download the com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.zip, extract com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.jar, copy it to your /system/framework and change the permission to 644
2011-05-31 - Updated to support more devices.
Gingerbread devices (using the standard 2.3 front camera API)
Motorola
Samsung
LG
Dell Streak and Streak 7 (Untested)
Huawei (Untested)
Other htc devices without the com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.jar (Untested)
Feel free to edit the source and make it work on your device
2011-05-31 - Updated YMFrontCamADB.zip script to fix mount command on other devices. The new script requires busybox (rooted devices should have it anyway)
2011-06-11 -Updated YMFrontCamADB.zip and com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.jar to fix the exception in integer "Parameters" values (samsung, dell, lg). Source code FrontFacingCamera.java.zip is updated as well. CWM method NOT updated.
2011-07-03 - After more than 2 months of hiding and distributing the APKs in secrecy, I’m now attaching them in here. I was advised not to post modifications for Google Market APKs here and so I did but as I can see in other threads, everything is allowed.
For a fix that does not need root and ADB stuffs, you can download the APK versions. First you have to uninstall the YM and YM plug-in from the market, install yahoo.im.apk (a must) and choose one among the plugins that suits best your need.
There are 4 versions of the plug-in I made. Some users reported that their devices got the wrong camera orientation (side-ways, or flipped image) and so I made 3 additional versions that add 90, 180 or 270 degrees clockwise to the orientation. It might or might not show the correct orientation on the android device but the transmitted image should be correct. Another thing is that, FFC and back cam doesn’t always have the same orientation so fixing the other might break the orientation of the other; so choose which cam you prefer to use.
Awesome! Haven't tried it out yet because I'm not home, but sure hope it works. I wonder if it works with other apps... any chance of looking at Vtok and Ovoo?
EDIT: Confirmed, it works with Yahoo. I used the com.htc.hardware.twinCameDevice.zip method and not the CWM flash, but have no reason to imagine that the other method wouldn't work as well. THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Doesn't seem to work. I used the cwm zip to apply the update. I can see the flip camera icon but it never switches to front camera.
Update: removed and applied again through cwm, works like charm! Thanks for sharing.

I have a modified version of ooVoo that works with the atrix's front camera but I'm not sure if I can post it here or not.
I believe though that ooVoo will very soon release the version that supports the atrix and the front camera. Their code actually includes the loader class for the front camera but for some reason, it is not yet included in loader array. Maybe it is still under testing.

What version are you using? I'm using the french 4.2.1 sbf (bell). Maybe it's just a versioning issue. I'll make one tonight (GMT - 5) that will actually load and use the motorola library to avoid versioning issues.

You have to mount /system as read/write. If you don't know how, it should be easy to find out on google.

I remember seeing that Skype with video was out for the thunderbolt, any way we could make that work using a similar method?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
According to what a few other people have said, that app was coded with a lot of lines of code specific to that device... so it would practically be quicker to start from scratch.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Do you believe that this will work with the Xoom as well seeing how they have the same camera drivers?
It's sure worth a try, I bet so. If not, the same method (renaming the default camera framework file to the htc version) would work. Try it.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I've updated it and changed the code to simply load and use the existing driver from motorola. It should be easy now to port to other devices.
Works perfect

Cannot get past buffering at first advertisement, reporting possible network error, however network connectivity well established on both wifi and data network. I'm thinking maybe adfree or maybe ad blocker built into gingerblur, anyone with any thoughts or similar experiences?

If you are running Kenneth Penn's GingerBlur or GreyBlur, replace the "hosts" file with the default one which only contains 1 line for localhost.
You can find it in /system/etc/
You'll probably need to use root explorer to get to it... or adb.
Then reboot and Hulu Plus will work on you Gingerblur Atrix! The downside is ads will show in most free apps... small price to pay.

Has anybody yet tried Need for Speed Hot Pursuit from the market on the Nook Color?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
I bought it. Haven't been able to download the rest of the game. I'm hoping to try on my HTC EVO and copying it to the NC. Once I do that, I'll know if it works or not.
Not compatible with ALL my devices. Ugh. What do I mod the build.prop to make it compatible?
I believe that there is different download sizes for different devices out there but I could be wrong. Let me know how it works out.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
It shows as available for download on my NC which is build.prop edited to spoof a SPH-P100. The galaxy tab uses PowerVR video like the NC so it should be compatible (assuming the NC can handle the game).
Make these build.prop changes:
ro.product.model=SPH-P100
ro.product.brand=bn
ro.product.name=SPH-P100
ro.product.device=encore
ro.product.board=encore
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion:2.3.6/GRK39F/189904:user/release-keys
I've tried a lot of different combos of build.prop to try to get this game to work. no luck so far. It installs from the market, but when you go to download the game files it just hangs at 0% forever. Any help is appreciated.
In that case you may have to find the sd card files on the internet. A quick google should take you there. Just make sure you get PowerVR files (unless you want to try CF3d and a different .apk).
OK new update fixed the download problem from EA.
The download for the Nook is 294MB with stock build.prop in CM7.1 and works great.

Thanks for the heads up ... I was trying to figure it out and came across this thread.
No problem always glad to help, hit that thanks button whenever u can
The build.prop fix didn't work for NFS Shift, however I have been able to get it to work using my Android phone as a workaround.
Required: TitaniumBackup on both TP and a rooted Android phone.
I was able to install on the TP from the market using the alpha3 build.prop. however, each time I launched NFS It would fail to download game data (NaN error). My HTC Desire HD wasn't showing as compatible with NFS, so I took a titanium backup copy of nfs on the TP and transferred the files to my phone via PC (the files you need are in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup and will have a name beginning with com.eamobile.nfsshift_row_wf)
I restored NFS from backup on the phone, and launched it this time the game data downloaded. I played a single race to make sure it was OK. Using my PC again I copied the game data folder (/sdcard/Android/data/com.eamobile.nfsshift_row_wf) from my phone to the TP in the same location.
Fired it up and it works really well and is proper full screen once the game launches. The initial splash screen is letterbox'd.
Hope this helps anyone wanting to use NFS Shift on the TP or get around another EA game with the same issue.

Long story short, I was using Root Explorer to de-bloat my phone completely and I think I managed to deleted the Market.apk
Anybody by chance have it so I don't have to re-flash to stock because I finally got my phone to where I want except for this.
Mods feel free to move if this isn't the right place to post.
