*** NOTE *** Steps 7-9 only needed if phone is not already rooted.
7. install z4root with the command
adb install com.z4mod.z4root2.apk
8. Open the z4root app on the phone and install root. The phone will turn off or restart when it is complete.
9. Ensure the phone is rooted. If so continue otherwise repeat step 7
10. Install sqlite editor with the command
adb install com.speedsoftware.sqleditor.apk
11. Open sqlite editor and press allow to the root priveleges dialog
12. Open the app with an id of com.android.providers.settings and open Settings.db
13. Open table secure

That's alot of steps, sir.

Glad my phones rom doesn't require all that.

Advising people to use Applanet (BlackMarket) probably isn't allowed here as it is a source of warez.

PS. It has NOTHING to do with allowing 3rd-party/non-market apps.

THANKS SOO MUCH FOR THIS POST. I've been looking for a way to install Palringo on my Motorola Flipside cuz it was missing from AT&T user's Android Market. I tried different options, but this is the only one that allowed me to root my phone and allow non market apps. So finally I have Palringo on my phone again. Kudos to you lodrial.

[MENTION=3213116]lodrial[/MENTION] in the applanet app, i saw that it had the update for the 2.2.6(not sure where the periods actually went) market. did u try it to see if it worked

[dyetheskin]

the updates for google apps on there don't work since those versions haven't been released for us yet

[xXRed98FlamesXx]

Palringo is not blocked by ATT in the Market. If it doesn't show up for the Flipside it is due to an issue between Motorola and Google and the phone image/hash that Motorola has provided to Google. This is actually common with new phones.

Or you could just download the already edited files and save time: Allow Non-Market Apps
