!!MUST READ!! Allow Installation of Non-Market Apps!!! WITHOUT UPDATE!

Go here and follow all instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107499. This will make the option to install non-market apps straight on your device (HTC Aria) appear!!! Enjoy!
Known issues:
- Unable to send/receive mms (since settings are erased - maybe re-inputting them will enable it again?...)
- HTC Wallpaper list disappears (These wallpapers can still be accessed in their root folder - system/customize/resource)

Yes I did test it and it works. I couldn't believe it myself... but I do now!

I can't believe how easy that was!

It works on my Aria but there are now no images listed under HTC Wallpapers. The Live wallpaper are still available.

I noticed my phone seems a bit off but it could just be me.

Just to verify, this works on an unrooted 2.2?

Thanks! It worked on my aria and didn't even reset the wallpaper or accounts that I can tell.

I tried this on two Arias running 2.2 and it worked, but it disabled the HTC Wallpaper section options (the select screen comes up but there are no wsllpapers shown) and the MMS send/receive also doesn't work. As hard reset fixed these issues but also removed the "unknown sources" option.
I can load wsllpapers via the live wallpapers and gallery options, but I can't fix the MMS issue.

it did work for me to unable 3rd party apps installation although it did reset the wallpaper and made the wallpapers disappear from the list but who cares.. I dont use MMS feature, so cant comment on that..

worked for me also but now can not recieve mms

Has anyone tried manually restoring MMS settings?

I'm glad I waited for more replies.
as long as I can download the .apk, its really not that big of a deal to me anyway. Just have to connect phone to pc, find the file, drag it to my computer and then install it with android injector. This works for amazon apps and any app I have download from here.

If u rooted ur phone you would not need this and rooted phones have been able to do this for quit sometime now. Duh!

What .apk are you talking about? There is no .apk you download to unlock this option. You have to clear the data of two specific system apps to do this.

I THINK that he's talking about root not being that big of a deal as long as he can sideload...I'm pretty sure. Over a long time of being on forums, I have learned to read and understand the most incomprehensible of verbiage.

sorry, i was generalizing. basically if you can download the app, even if you cant install it from your phone, there is a simple method to get it installed when you get to your computer.
edit: yes, I was talking about how easy it is to sideload. just my opinion. easier to do than possibly lose mms options with this method to get the unknown sources checkbox.
just going to wait for the actual update. which better come soon. as it was supposed to be out before this thread even started.

The update was out before this thread started but only some (very few) people got it. So if someone can't wait for it, since it seems like no one else is going to get it, and they can afford to lose the mms setting (which could be reset manually), then they can do this method.

[Q] Why is this happening and is there a way to fix it?

Okay so whenever I'm done texting or have to close an app to go back to my home screen all of the apps and widgets don't show up and I have wait for them to reload again.. it gets annoying cause this happens about 90% of the time I close an app. Is there a way to fix this thing or preventing from happening? >.<

Which launcher are you using?

TwLauncher. The default one..

For some reason, you have an app that is running that is taking enough cache memory that it is causing TW to close, anytime you are leaving it, instead of staying in memory. This is causing a 'respawn' (everything has to reload.). You have 2 choices here.
1. Figure out what app, or apps are running that you don't need, and shut them down.
2. switch to a lighter launcher. On the surface, zeam and adw are two of the lightest out there, but I've had the best luck in low memory situations with go launcher, myself.
In order to find which apps are doing this, my recommendation is to get rom toolbox (free is fine), and look in the 'auto start manager'. I'm sure there are several apps that do the same thing, but RTb is my preference. Once you get into that section, look at the list of what is starting on boot, and disable the ones you don't need. This won't make the app useless, but it will keep it from running in the background until you open it yourself.

Well that worked. Thank you sir.

A little off the main topic but speaking of rom toolbox or Tibu for that matter, anytime I use them to either, say, freeze or uninstall anything , both apps just sit there with box showing me there uninstalling or freezing. Only way to stop is to go into manage apps and stop them but they end up doing what wanted to do. Anyone else have this happen, any fix,annoying if anything.

I recommend using Titanium backup.. it's easier to use and easy to understand. Won't have to deal with this whole freezing crap.

I know exactly what you mean. I've been occasionally having the same problem with Titanium Backup. It doesn't happen every time, but enough lately that I've noticed it. Not sure of any fix, but I'll post if I find one. I guess it's not that big of a problem considering it ultimately uninstalls/freezes whatever it's supposed to, but it sure is annoying.

Apps start themselves in background

Hello guys I have a strange question:
a friend has the problem that sometimes he unlocks his phone, some apps are shown instead of the honescreen. He says he leaves the app via the back button, we could exclude that the apps start in the pocket. Also he shuts his phone off very rarely (right word?!? means not often).
Maybe you can help?
Thanks and Greets

He says its most of the times "contacts" or similar. so important and not ad-based. I think I will tell him to download an antivirus program to check his phone and something like sdmaid.
I mean if he doesnt start the app by himself, the app either has to start by itself or by another app right?
And if nothing helps could we really say that its caused by the software and tell him to do a factory reset or restore the system?

frsh install of rom or factry reset is alwayz a good option

Warning message - "application attempting unpermitted actions"

See the attached screen capture.
Any idea what this is and what I need to do to get rid of it permanently? It pops up every half hour or so.
Thanks!

Download airpush detector. See if you have any apps that try to phish or access private information. Keyloggers, contact info collector, etc. Also review your previous downloads from the time you started seeing the notification. Could be linked to that, read the reviews of recently installed apps. Also run an antivirus that can pick out apps that make cause a conflict

Airpush reported that nothing was found but so far the warning message hasn't re-appeared so fingers crossed it's worked.
Ta!

Also be sure to run an antivirus. Drwebb light (free) does a fantastic job and/or webroot (free)

The message came back after a while, I held my finger on it until it popped up with which app was causing it and it came up with 'SeAndroid'.
I then froze it with Titanium and so far haven't noticed anything adverse.

Yeah this comes from SeAndroid, which will bug you as soon as it sees you're rooted. I suppose you rooted your stock rom with something like CF-AutoRoot ? Because all the custom roms remove this app. You can safely uninstall the app to get rid of the warning once and for all.

Yep CF-Autoroot.
And thanks, I'll delete it completely now.

the solution that really works
Install "Root Uninstall" from the market.
Run it
Grant it root permission
Click on "User App" at the top
Choose "System App"
Search for "SEAndroid"
Click on it
Click uninstall at the bottom
Accept and enjoy

If you had this message after install a custom kernel on your rom possible that kernel was not build for the rom
or there are an trick for freeze the process with titanium backup

just check the threads for Knox removal. it is quite easy to do. It will solve your problem and still keep root.

[Q] How to uninstall Evernote?

I have tried to disable it but the button is greyed out for me...
Is there anyway to disable it without rooting?

Can you please post a screenshot of what it looks like when you are at the uninstall screen?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

It's called Evernote not Nevernote. It's never going away lol! But seriously just don't use it? You can use your Samsung account and I'm sure the app is really small storagewise.

Root the phone and uninstall with titanium backup

At the screen, there's only two buttons
Force Stop and Disable (but greyed out)
hmm. guess I need to figure out how to root my phone :/

Like the others said it must be a system app. You will have to root to uninstall it, if you want to.
