    Nope, they just install. For some apps you may need to "root" it but not all. Also you may want to.install a custom Rom if there is any

    rooting gives you root access, meaning you can delete modify and file on the device.

    advantages = watch some youtube videos on this topic

    dangers = you can brick device, unlike iOS if you mess something up you just restore in itunes, an android device can be bricked

    Hey Rusty. If you look in your settings, in the Personal Section, there should be a security heading. Within, there is an option to allow installation of non-Market apps under the heading of Unkown Sources (I'm running IceCream Sandwich btw).

    Thanks to cassy34
