A simple Dell Streak hack has emerged that will allow AT&T users to sideload apps not obtained from Android Market onto their tablet/smartphone device. AT&T has cited security reasons as to why the carrier isn't allowing non-Android Market apps onto the device in the past. This hack, which doesn't require your Android device to be rooted, works by entering a string of numbers into your Streak's dial pad.
Users will need to:
1. Dial *#*#307#*#* on your Streak. Other than a quick flash on the screen, it will look like nothing has happened.
2. Go to your app drawer/program menu and tap a new icon labeled EMList. If the icon is not there, turn off the Streak. It should be there when you turn it on again. Scroll to the bottom and tap app_security.
3. Tap update unknown resource property to enable it.
4. Go to Settings > Applications, and you should now have an "Unknown Sources" check box available to you. This will now allow you to download any app of your choosing directly from a webpage or SD card. If for any reason you want or need to uninstall the EMList, simply go to your dialer and type in the following keys: *#*#308#*#*.

This actually works! What’s confusing is some of the verbiage in the steps…let me clarify:
1) Dial the ‘magic number’ as shown (don’t need to hit the call button – screen will clear/flash)
2) Choose the ‘All Apps’ button (the one in the upper left corner) of your Streak
3) You should find the app entitled ‘EMList’
4) Scroll down to the bottom to find the entry entitled, “APP_SECURITY”
5) click the one button to change ‘Update Unknow Resource Property’ (yes, they spelled it that way) changing the button from ‘off’ to ‘on’
6) Go to your home screen…click the menu button (middle on on the right outer column)…then click ‘Settings’…click ‘Applications’…and highlight the check mark on the (new) ‘Unknown Sources’ so that it’s green.
Bingo…sideload away!
Tried this and got no joy. Tried all of the ideas on the web. No Joy as of yet. I’m wondering if my streak is different than others. My phone was part of an AT&T 2 year contract, so I got it cheaper. Does anyone know if this makes a difference?
Thanks,
