Noob question..Does the phone need to be connected to mobile internet as well when installing an app?? because i tried it with zero credits in my phone..The message came up saying "app ready to be installed in device" but when I looked there was no app installed...
two way i always use:
1. install apps from market
2. turn on "unknown source" in setting -> applications. and download apk file to sd card, and tap it to install.

Yeah I installed apps directly from the market..The message comes up in the market saying that the app will be installed shortly, but it does not show up in the phone..

Can you explain a bit further how to do it without wasting my mobile credits..I tried installing via market on my pc.
Can you explain a bit more
Thanks in advance
you need to log in with your account on both of your pc and your phone to do "installing app from pc on android market".

After rooting my device I was planning on installing AdFree, but for some reason it does not work. The phone is acting as if its validating the apps source - and since AdFree wants to be installed from an "unknown source" it refuses to install.
And yes, I have unchecked the verification, but the phone is acting as if the option is checked anyways.
Halp pl0x?

verification should be checked
you should post this in Q&A
I think from the title of your post that you've gotten it backwards. You have to put a check in "allow installation of apps from unknown sources" in order for you to be able to install apk's from elsewhere than play store.
Oh, d'oh.
I'm sorry for being silly, both for posting in the wrong forum section and missing the obvious here.
It's still early where I live, so maybe I'm overly tired and missing something obvious...
However, I successfully enabled Developer Options, however, there is no "Unknown Sources" option or any ADB options?
Anyone out there seeing the same thing? Am I missing something?
for developer options go to settings ,about, click on build 10 times and developer options will show up in the Preferences section . unknown sources is there somewhere ... i checked it . i can't remember where ?
edit: download sideload launcher from chainfire (play store) and in the side load launcher their is google settings with verify apps and other settings
Thanks for the reply.
It's not there. I have Developer Options enabled. It is nowhere to be found...
maybe when you sideload a app you get the unknow source prompt . i can't remember where it was .

It does prompt you when you first try to install one.
unknown sources is avail in "security & restrictions" tab, along with verify apps and restricted profile.
Thanks!

Hi,
I've got a problem with the app tasker.
I am rooted without using SuperSU over cm12.1.
Tasker won't detect my root access.
What should I do?
Secure setting plugin is installed...
I've tried to manage the mobile data via secure settings plugin but it doesn't do the trick neither...
any suggestions?
Go into Settings > About and tap the build number several times, until you get a notification saying "You are now a developer!"
Then go back to the main settings screen and look for Developer options. Go into developer options and look for Root acces. Tap on that and set it to Apps. Or set it to apps and adb. Done. Otherwise just install SuperSU from the playstore

I've already enabled root access via CM.
That wasn't the problem.
I found a solution if anyone stumbles on that thread:

I updated my S8 to Oreo and I love it, however apps like Advance Download Manager or Amazon when trying to install apps it request that I allow install from unknown sources, it prompts the toggle but it's grey and will not let me switch it on.
Any way to force allow this? There is no longer an option to allow unknown installs in settings.
I have the same problem only a few apps show as accessible. But the ones I want to change are greyed out. Any resolution?
Go to Settings-Apps- click on the 3 dots menu-> special access-> Install unknown apps. Guess this should work
