Help INstalling non market apps on X10

[rebel.c]

I have been trying to install the swype app. Once it downloads it tells me I can't install because my phone security will not allow non market apps to be installed. I went to the security settings but can not find a setting for this. Can anyone help? Thanks

Just go to Settings --- Aplications ---- "And select the first option"
That's all

That shows my applications but will not let you change the security setting.

Are you on at&t? If so you cannot load non-market apps without using the Sideload Wonder Machine.

Thanks for the replies. Yes I am on at&t and imagine that at&t not letting you do something with a phone you paid for. I had found the side loader program and figured it was the only way but was hoping there would be an easier way.

This is how i install .apk files i downloaded atro file manager from the market then i download the .apk that you want to your pc connect the phone drop the .apk file into the phones file then go into the phone go into astro scroll down and select the .apk file then select open app manager then hit install.

I didn't think this method could be used with at&t ROM!

I wouldnt know so maybe someone can tell me if it works and if not screw at&t and use a better custom rom lol you will never regret it i dont plan on switching back to an at&t rom even if its 2.1 cause im already on 2.1 lol.

lol, ok then I will tell you it didn't work when I had the at&t ROM. For the record I am not switching back either.

lol, ok then I will tell you it didn't work when I had the at&t ROM. For the know then might i try and entice you to try out X10Users Eminence ROM like it a lot its free of all that crap and its got a nice new system theme i love.

If you want to give it a try ive updated my first post with a new guide on how to install it.
Step By Step Flahing 1.6 to 2.1

Or maybe you already have it installed?

Thanks, I was thinking about it but right now I have a generic ROM and farther tweaked it by eliminating the Sony bloatware that I safely could. It is running very well so maybe I hold of for a bit.

Then again, I may change my mind.
