So can anyone else confirm that the one click root enables unknown sources? I don't want to flash any roms...I just want to have unknown sources in my settings.

Also, does the one click root have any known problems (or cause problems)?
[HTC Inspire 4G] shawn1224:
When you root you can flash back the stock rom w/unknown sources enabled or you can just cook up your own stock version using the xda kitchen with all the features you like.

Rooting in and of itself does not enable sideloading.
[HTC Inspire 4G] brian85:
Ok now I'm confused. Can anyone show me the simplest steps to get unknown sources up and running and be as close to stock as possible? You guys are making it sound like rooting flashes an entirely different rom, which is not the case for the tons of other android phones I have rooted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jmichael15:
I used the AC sideloader for my stock Inspire and it worked perfectly with installing Gameloft(sp?) games like Dungeon Hunter 2. No complaints here as I'm still able to side load unrooted.

[HTC Inspire 4G] brian85:
If I use the sideloader, do I have to use it EVERY single time when I want to install an app? Example...if I download amazon app store, will it install apps no problem or do I have to use the sideloader everytime to install an app?
[HTC Inspire 4G] brian85:
So I watched a video on sideloading, looks easy, but how do I get the apk files on my computer? I don't know where to download the amazon app store apk directly on my computer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Amazon App Store apk

Angry Birds Rio apk

Google is your friend. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] dog77k:
Angry Birds Rio is available free from the Market now. No need to sideload that one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tjb433:
I haven't confirmed this, but I assume this is correct. The phone is protected against apps installing from outside the market, and the sideload tool works around this by (I assume) running its own adb commands, so without the tool, apps will still be blocked from installing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
You know I got to thinking after this thread was started...Before I had my Inspire, I used my Dell Streak...but my wife has a Captivate. I would use SuperOneClick to root it and enable non-market apps on her phone. The Captivate is weird cause in order to flash new ROMs...you have to downgrade to stock each time. By doing that, you lost root.. (unless they have a workaround for that now...I haven't checked in awhile)

Now I know SOC can't fully root the Inspire, but it has the ability to give it a temp root, that will clear upon reboot.

What you might be able to try is download SuperOneClick by Shortfuse here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

Gain temp root long enough to "allow non-market apps" and when you reboot, the root will clear, but unknown sources should still be there.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vkuber:
Since I use this application on my HTC Evo I thought I would give it a shot on my XOOM. Default settings it at 160 and I've accomplished getting the XOOM to 120 and STABLE. I'm not sure if anyone here has used this application but it basically adjusts your resolution on the device itself. Let me know if anyone comes around and try's it out as well. I haven't gone anything below 120 currently because I am happy of how the display looks at the moment.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] flukeSG2:
Any issues with scaling, something not looking right? I haven't rooted my xoom yet, but this was one of the first things I thought of doing.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] lesjaw:
screenshot please..how it look on desktop, gmail and gtalk?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vkuber:
Everything is working perfectly fine. I actually uninstalled the application because the display where you can adjust icons, etc gets smaller and you have less room to place more things on the screen. It looks great but it just doesn't seem practical to be on a tablet. If you have a rooted XOOM def. try it out and tell me what you think about it?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Agree. The density of the Xoom is fairly small to begin with (160). It seems to be more fine tuned. What a difference with the first generation tablets! Those had a density of 240 and looked like the screen of a giant phone LoL

Did you also try to blow up the density? Wonder how it would look like with a density between 175 and 190
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bwcorvus:
I actually did 240 once...it pushed the tool bars off screen.

So I just thought that I would share this with everyone. I flashed the Desire HD leaked GB radio from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=996630

Now my phone locks on to the tower it gets the strongest signal from and stays there... I'm monitoring my signal with Open Signal and its currently -75 whereas it would jump all over from -83 to -105 and beyond with the stock radio because it was constantly switching towers. The weakest the signal has gotten is -85 and the monitor has been running for 6 minutes now.

Call quality is fantastic and data speeds are FINALLY above junk since I'm connecting to the tower that is about 3 miles away instead of the one that is at the end of my block (when I connect to that tower, that's when I lose my signal entirely, I'm just too damn close to it). It keeps connecting to the tower that is about 3 miles away, even when I reboot the phone, put it in airplane mode, etc. I'm definitely keeping this device now but I wanted to share my success - I read through the thread over there and it seems to be a winner all the way around. And yes, GPS still has near instant locks.

You do know that radio performance will vary greatly by region so what might kickass for you, might not kickass for me? Either way, thanks for the heads up on the new radio. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] helushune:
I've been using this radio paired with the latest CM7 nightly for a while up in Seattle and it seems to be pretty good. Much better than the LeeDroid one that was floating around for a while.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
I do understand this, however radio performance should really be universal on a device, its just the actual device performance will vary based on the region.

Either way, I'm happy its not connecting to the tower that I live right under all the time anymore and my signal has increased by a good -10 to -15 across the board.

Personality for me the new m3 radio has been great improvement on GPS lock time. But my cell signal and wifi aren't as good as 12.41 or 12.35. I do live in a city that is relatively remote in regards to cell signal. But even with all that I prefer the new m3 just becuade the GPS is lightyears better than the previous ones.

When I was on 26.06.04.06_M with di11igaf's 2.0.1 rom.. GPS lock was in seconds.. with this new radio GPS has taken 30 mins and still no lock. Data networks and WiFi were definitely faster though.. but I think I'll go back to my previous radio.

Same here. I use GPS a lot, otherwise I wouldn't mind...my wifi/data signals have definitely improved using this radio.

heh, well, looks like this isn't work well in my area after all, I am in salt lake city utah, might just the crappy weather tho. I will check again on a sunny day.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
GPS takes about 30 seconds for me - are you guys using a gingerbread ROM because this radio is made for gingerbread - I am running MIUI, I have tweaked my GPS with the instructions in the MIUI first post (GPS Status I think was the biggest factor) and I get locks in 30 seconds indoors. Accurate to 5 meters after a minute with 10 satellites.

The stock radio got me accurate to 25 indoors with only 7 satellites. Even outdoors, I got 8 maximum. I just checked it. Maybe try making sure that GPS settings are set up so that Google is the SUPL server and run GPS Status?

I don't really know what to say on the fact - I just used TeleNav (BTW, the Captivate TeleNav that I ganked from the Vibrant 4G in ota.telenav.com/tn works on the Inspire as well - its definitely worth it as you gain speed traps, it tells you the speed limit of the road you're on, it even tells you what lane to be in when you make an exit) and it was dead on accurate. My Captivate would have been *****ing at me to get back on Iliff Ave because it curves so much. My Cappy got me lost more times than I can count.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pollux1151:
this old thread discussed about this radio:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002419

someone complained about the battery drain of this radio
[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
Seems to have less battery drain than the stock radio IMO. I was looking at *1%* on my phone and purposely trying to drain it, I ran it through Quadrant 12 times before the phone finally died. I was losing about 1% ever 45 minutes on the stock radio.

Again though, this radio seems to prefer the tower that is further away (and thus, I actually get a signal from that tower) whereas the OLD radio preferred the tower that is literally .65 miles away - I tested it with GPS until I got to the tower - and thus I spent a QUARTER of my battery life with the phone trying to acquire a signal.

Its possible 100% that this radio has a higher battery consumption for some - but that goes for any radio. Some work better than others for different people in different situations. That's why you flash them all, monitor performance for at least a day including notations of dropped calls, battery performance, etc., then you figure out which radio works best for YOU.

The bottom line though, this radio is made for Gingerbread. A lot of people will sit there and argue that RIL hasn't changed between versions but I am willing to bet that it has. My own personal experience with it tells me that this radio is willing to jump towers if it can't get a good signal while the old radio locked on to the closest tower it could find about 75% of the time.

Anyone that knows anything about cellular technology knows that living so close to a tower is extremely detrimental to me actually getting a signal from that tower because of the way that the signal is broadcast. I won't go all technical, many people have done that before me, but if you live within half a mile of a tower broadcasting 850, you are likely to suffer dropped calls and the inability to make calls.

So I flashed back to the other leaked gingerbread radio, and was able to get a 4 meter lock on 9/9 satellites.

Running Dilligaf 2.0.1 or Android Revolution 3.3, both 2.2.1 roms, so maybe this radio needs a 2.3.3 rom to work properly.

I can't honestly tell you I've noticed a difference in network speeds; it mostly just battery improvement for me.

I'll post some network benchmarks (using Speedtest.net) at the end of the day. I don't have any benchmarks to compare to, though.

I'm in Connecticut, where AT&T is probably at it's best, so that also has an impact on my speeds; keep that in mind (:

I can safely conclude (though I already knew this) that I get the best reception while at my house. This really doesn't make sense to me, as my house is receded in the woods, but whatever. The rest of the results were either inside bricked buildings or moving cars, though they are some pretty pathetic speeds. For all of these results, my phone was on HSDPA/HSUPA networks. I was on CyanogenMod Nightly #38 with cattleprod's kernel. I had not modified the build.prop file. I used Speedtest.net to determine which server I should connect to and my data speeds.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions. I can safely say, from personal experience, that the network speeds don't feel any slower, but from the data, they obviously are; however, the battery life on my phone has improved greatly over stock, although I wasn't necessarily having an issue with my battery life previously, it just got somewhat low by the end of the day (around 30%, compared to around 50% now).

[HTC Inspire 4G] paganfx4:
Im no expert just a total noob. But from reading these boards, radios are really subjective to the area and infrastructure that is local to where you use your phone. That is why some people can have very good luck with one radio and others have miserable luck. So it is best to keep trying radios until you find one that works for you. But before you go down that path make sure your battery is calibrated correctly so the battery drain you are seeing is actually happening and not a falsehood. There are many posts on how to calibrate if you haven't done so yet.

Having flashed the entire stock, generic GB rom from which this radio came, I can assure you that in the boonies of west Alabama, I got absolute crap for signal. I switched back to the stock ATT rom almost immediately, and got at least two bars, in an area I'd had none with GB. This was at a different time of day, but only by 3 or 4 hours.

Verdict: Your results may vary.
