How do I set up proxy authentication for the entire system withou

[george-gi]

I have the Samsung Galaxy S Advance running Android 2.3.6

I was able to set up the proxy server through Settings ? Wireless and Network ? WiFi Settings ? (Options button) ? Advanced.

This works well for the browser. If the proxy server requires authentication, then a dialog box pops up for that purpose.

However, all the other apps are totally useless behind a proxy server that requires authentication.

How do I work around this without rooting my phone?
If rooting is absolutely necessary, what app do you recommend to use (after rooting)? My google searches turn up ProxyDroid. Are there other alternatives?

thank you .

Which proxy are you talking about? The carrier's? One in your LAN? Something else?
