Is there anyway to bypass 'Unknown sources' setting without having the application actually downloadable in the market?

Is there anyway to bypass 'Unknown sources' setting without having the application actually downloadable in the market? Signing up for the market is fine but I do not want the application actually available via the market due to partner restrictions. However, installation should be smooth without requiring the user to allow installation of application from non-market applications.

You can ask your users to install Java, Eclipse and ADT, gives them the source code and tell them to install the app with Eclipse.
I think you don’t need the "Unknown Sources" setting for that.

(half joking, this is a way to bypass this setting)

No. The whole point of the "unknown sources" setting is to explicitly prevent what you're trying to do.

(Or at the very least, I truly hope there is no way to bypass that setting. It's a security setting users configure to prevent unwanted apps from being able to install on their phone.)
