Install problem on Motorola Atrix on AT&T.

I am getting a message (This application comes from an unknown source,
and for your security only applications from trusted sources can be
installed) phone = Motorola Atrix on AT&T.

If you are unable to install the application, go to Settings -> Applications and unsure "Unknown sources" is checked.

Is not shown in my menus

Joe,

On an atrix; you must be rooted in order to see this option...sorry.

I got this off of the XDA dev forum

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK....!!!!!

Download Root Explorer and SQLight Editor (both on the market)

1. Use "RootExplorer" take you to

/data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db/settings

2. click on the "Value" column of "force_only_market_apps"

3. Press "menu" button and select "Edit Field"

4. Change "1" to "0", then save.

Without even doing a factory reset or just a regular reboot you should
have an unknown sources box available in your settings>applications.

Thanks Robert

I have found another option (side load wonder machine) no rooting of the phone needed. I'll post my results.

Side load wonder machine worked! Very easy to do just read the directions thoroughly..

Why do these guys (AT&T) want to be like Apple? After all, these phones belong to us.
