[Q] Did Google Remove Unknown Sources on 5.0? - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

Yeah, it would work fine. I did it for UberMusic Beta. Just gotta' go to Settings, Applications then allow access for apps that aren't from the market. Same goes for any Android phones you might have.
it worked
You are correct ! There is the option in setting to allow unknown apps . Thanks and BTW , I LOVE MY THRIVE !!!!! AMAZING AND IT IS LIGHT TO HLD AS WELL
unable to install 3rd party apps
When I click on an apk that's on my SD card I get an error that say "there is no associated application for this file type" any clue what happened here???
non-market app install problems?!?
I'm confused. I selected the "allow non-market" toggle in my settings. Nothing special needed. Am I missing something?

Well you already did it then. Now you can install Android apps from places like here, XDA, or other places that's not Android Market place. It still has to be an android app, an APK. I think some people confusing that it means you can download and install any OS app. Lmao that's not the case. If you they to install something not meant for android, it'll throw up an error or whatever.

[Q] Unable to install apps in spite of unknown sources unchecked

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.

[Q] Tasker

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:

Google pixel 8.0,7.1.2,7.11 frp bypass method!

Hello Guys, This is a tested method frp bypass for both pixel and pixel xl.
Things needed(Links are available)
1. Android 8.0 ota update file
2. Microsoft account(optional if maps don't work)
3.Bypass file https://mega.nz/#!350kTCDY!Et7FC5KKtLbY7s-Mp_X08zxK3KnAWlWyYNOAVOdGWqg
First I recommend you to update to 8.0 oreo version if you are on 7.1.1 or 7.1.2, the update can be done via adb sideload
here is a link to update (8.0) for both phones
Pixel
http://androidhost.org/ZYYVR
Pixel XL
https://mega.nz/#!oIBSBDQD!l0JtzpVJKWpUyfvNEcojE5-AYC_fs8RVusOH-4nFBPY
after the download boot into recovery and update via adb sideload.
Now you are on 8.0 connect to a WiFi and follow this video to access the browser
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnoG1Ve4v9U
Note: if "Maps" isn't shown then do as follows to launch google app
Turn talk back on, swipe to up+down+left to show global text menu then hit talk back settings>Help&feedback>About switch access for android, then play the video and hit the forward icon "arrow pointed to right" then select Gmail and tap add account and sign in a microsoft account hit next and it will get back to the first sign in menu, now hit "Take me to Gmail" then hit the three lines on the top left then hit settings, now from the top right corner tap the dots and tap manage account then tap continue, Done you are now in settings.
Now in settings goto Apps &Notifications>App info>Google App>>App notifications>Additional settings in the app> then tap feed and hit no thanks, Now we are on Google app, search chrome and in chrome paste this link and download the bypass file https://mega.nz/#!350kTCDY!Et7FC5KKtLbY7s-Mp_X08zxK3KnAWlWyYNOAVOdGWqg(The same file I mentioned at needed files) then install the app and select "Google account manager installer" then select 5.1 version and hit bypass frp from the app and select browser sign in and sign in your google account(this part of the step is available on the above video).
All the credit goes to Atiq Malik, I just mentioned a way to do it without maps.
Also if you'd rather not mess with talkcrap and all those extra steps, do what I do. Hook up USB c cable to another phone (I used Nexus 6p), not sure which USB option I selected but it's either "supply power" or"transfer files". Boom! Files menu jumps up on the pixel and from in there download the phone app from the other device (my Nexus 6p) it can be a pain in the a$$ because if u mess up you'll have to start over again. Once you get the phone apk installed open it and dial *#*#4636#*#* and tap "usage statistics" tap the arrow on top left of the screen to go to the settings menu. Once you're in there if u can't figure it out then u should probably switch to an iPhone because Android really isn't that hard to crack. It's really that simple. Btw I'm on a locked Verizon pixel 8.1 January update. ????
I am Living in CHINA and china banned google and other foreign websites and content. So the thing is both the bove method doesnt work me. For Example if i use Google Map method the google maps is ban here. so map never opened so i am not able to go to help or feedback settings. The other method is email method i went there in talk back help and feed back menu but there cant load the button that show switch access to android so i guess what youtube is also ban so it cant take me to youtube. So if i cant go to youtube then how i am able to email the stuff. Need help dont know what to do.

Try a VPN.
Does anyone know if this works on Android P DP2? Or if my device is already bypassed on Oreo, would the bypass persist through the update?

how to install the google update?
Can install oreo using adb without usb debugging on? If not, how to turn it on while the phone is locked because of frp?
Getting into recovery life I get the following:
Bl: 8996-012001-1709121620
Baseband: 8996-013053-170804002
Console: disabled
Device is locked
Secure boot: production
What does all that mean? Will I be able to use this method here? And what's my android version? If it's 8.0 it will be great since I can continue? Otherwise can I use adb to install is usb debugging option is off frp is locked?
Actually you are in bootloader mode

Those texts are written when you are in bootloader mode, so using volume down scroll to recovery mode and hit power button, now you are in recovery mode, follow the rest of the mentioned steps.
with the recent updates it seems like all frp bypass methods have been patched
I have bypassed the frp on 8.1 update

The oreo version always supports google account manager 5.1 so just install and input your google account via quick shortcut maker.
the thing that makes the patch different is the way you reach the browser or settings.

I didn't follow any of that lol. because I have talkback 7.0 on the phone my options appear to be exactly 0 to accomplish anything, especially since I can't enable debug mode without access to settings
Stuck in FRP Mode
My Pixel is also stuck in frp mode. The TalkBack settings does not seem to have help and feedback options. what do i do?
Bypass apk
