Non market apps

I read that the atrix does not allow non market apps. What are the chances that this will be allowed in the future (by unlocking)?

Already possible. Root with SuperOneClick, and then click Allow Non Market Apps.
What? Wow. That was quick. Thanks.

If you root your phone you can remove bloatware like Sprint nav, Sprint tv, Sprint zone, some of the HTC things like news stocks I mean you can do a whole lot once rooted

There are apps to control start up apps too once you root.

Alright well I just rooted my phone, do you suggest any apps to control the start ups?
Startup cleaner 2.0 looks well..but there aren't many apps that delay starting..so if you want to look into it go ahead but the difference wouldn't be enormous

Titanium backup lets you do that

Hosts file

I am looking for a way to block porn on my son's evo. It is rooted and I just wanted to put a hosts file in place so he won't know until he tries.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Install Ad Away, have it apply the hosts file, and then simply uninstall the app

Maybe probably. Try it out, or look up a hosts file for android that does.
Adfree does block porn if you select that option. It is available from playstore.

Not anymore, Google pulled all ad blocking apps a while ago.
App can be found online though.
Well that just goes to show how much I use the play store. I keep most of my apps locally since I change roms more often than a child being potty trained changes underwear.

AdAway can be safely installed from the F-droid.org repository. AdFree can be downloaded from the developers website with a quick Google search.
If you can't find either, PM me and I'll give you a link to the AdFree APK in my Box account.
Once you have the hosts file in place, you should be able to manually add porn sites that you want to block, if there isn't already an option to block them from the app.

[Q]How to build systemui with eclipse

I tried to build cm9.2 (ics) systemui with eclipse.but it showed more than thousand errors.how to solve this problem
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
As far as I know, building the system UI is not possible without building the whole ROM or at least having it in the complete ROM tree.
So no way other than ubuntu?and downloading GB's of sources?

Well, you could run it in a VirtualBox. But I think that there is no other way. (I use it as my only OS btw.)

Actually you can build it in eclipse itself. Remove the internal references and replace them by alternatives if needed. Again, use reflection as and when required although its not recommended. I've done it before and it works perfectly.

System apps use many of the internal references which are not available by the SDK for example com.android.internal.*, the ones denoted by @hide, etc.
Either patch up your SDK with internal references or use workarounds to make it compile.
So i can i patch the sdk?
