gladenable works..
u can also install apps thru adb. doesnt require root.
and if ur rooted u can edit the settings.db file using sqlite and allow non market apps.
there are way too many ways to do this..
If you don't use gladenable or adb, you can try sideload wonder machine found on androidcentral dot com. Or just Google it.

What settings need to be changed in he settings.db file for this to work?
Does using gladenable also allow you to install files off the sd card?

If you are having trouble with that, you can do it this way:
You can also use sqlite editor in the market to change the value if you are rooted.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor&feature=search_result
It is located at com.motorola.android.providers.settings/settings.db/settings/107 force_only_market_apps
Change the value to 0 and you are good to go. Sideloading enabled.

Yes it does
Just redid my AT&T phone today and yes, Gladenable DEFINITELY works. Make sure USB development is on though(I got pissed off because it wasn't working... turns out it was the stupid user messing things up )

How link apk to Android Market?

Re-installed an app (apk) I had previously backed-up.
Originally, I downloaded it from Android Market.
Now how can I make Android Market see it?

Tried that.
But shouldn't there be an "M" (referring to Android Market) over a yellow smiling face? I can't get that...
Try going in to Manage Applications, find the market, and Clear the Data and Cache.
Then re-open the market and go to My Apps... this worked for me.

How about linking apks downloaded from other (non-market) sources?
I wanna get updates for my other apps that I didn't download from the market. I've tried the above steps, but it still didn't work for any of the apps.

[Q] Can´t Install Applications (apk)

I can´t install applications (apk) to the tablet. I am running 4.1.2 Kernel 3.0.31 - 767276. I have allowed the unknown sources in the security tab, but when hitting in the apk application, I got the install/cancel option, whne hitting install, the tablet doesn´t accept the option. If I hit cancel, it just cancel the installation. What should I do to be able to install apk?
Thanks

First, you posted on the wrong thread. (I already reported your post to be moved) Second, are you using an SIII or a tablet? Quite confused here.
I am using a tablet to post this message, but the problem is with the SGS3

Screenshot of the problem?
Do you have screen filter because it has the problem of not allowing users to press install if it is enabled. Simple solution is just to disable it (if you have it in the first place).

you said you can't install apps to the tablet, not phone
What app are you trying to install?

if u are referring to apk files you've not been able to install, download app 'easy installer ' or 'apkinstaller' from play store. easy installer is better as it scans your phone and shows you all apks present.. then click install.. if not, use apkinstaller
R: [Q] Can´t Install Applications (apk)
I dont get what ure problem is....if u mean that u try to install but then u get an error app couldnt be installed u need to install logcat fron the store and it will show you what happens when ure installing. Usually its because the app left traces in ure phone, u need to go and delete them(logcat will tell u where) and then u will be able to install.
U need root!

Trouble installing apps manually

I try to install an application and for some reason can't hit the install buttons. It just won't work, but the cancel button does. Doesn't make sense... Any help necessary, unrooted. Latest version.

Some questions for you.. what is the exact firmware version that are you using? Do you have allow unknown sources checked in the settings menu? Are you using any permission manager apps such as xprivacy? What version of Towel root do you have and tell us what steps you used to try installing towel root?
.
Its nothing of those things. This occurs when an app uses an overlay to cover the entire screen. Some apps that use an overlay will do this. So if you are using an app that requires the permission "draw over other apps" then it could be that app. Do you know of any apps that have a "floating" feature to them? Or an app that may be detecting full screen?

Xposed framework

I recently rooted my s5 and installed xposed framework, but every time I install/update then reboot the phone is really laggy. Then I have to uninstall to make it stop. Any help ?

My bad. It's pure stock rom. Nothing on it. Fresh out the box stock. Tmobile version.

Run the same Xposed installer app that you used to install it. It will have an uninstall option.
You need to do that step first before using the Android uninstaller so that it reverts changes to executable system files. After the Xposed installer app reverses those changes it is safe to go to the settings menu > applications > application manager > downloaded, select the Xposed entry if it is still listed and click on the application manager uninstall button this time.
.
There have been many threads posted about this already. You need to edit your build.prop and set secure storage to false.
