installLocation feature and HTC - Android Software Development

Hi there,
it seems to be that some manufactor's, like HTC (Sense 3.0), overwrite the "installLocation" attribute through own patched android os versions.
I don't know if this is true, but in fact i have the problem that my app SD-Booster can be moved to SD-Card without a "installLocation" XML statement in the AndroidManifest.xml file.
Well, i guess they use own implemented formulas to verify each app, but in this case it doesn't work very well.
HTC Nexus One (Stock Rom 2.3.3): SD-Booster v1.5.1 can't be moved (option disabled)
HTC Sensation (HTC Stock Rom/Sense 3.0/2.3.3) SD-Booster v1.5.1 can be moved!
Any ideas?
Regards
Akusari

Here are some screenshots, shows up the ****:
Identical installations...
HTC Nexus One (works correct)

HTC Sensation (failed, allow moving)

Well this can be overiden with ADB:
adb shell
setInstallLocation 2
So HTC could well have set this in their ROM... seems strange, but I guess you have proof

So if there is no way to stop htc from letting users move your app you could do a check for install location and disable the functionality (if any will be comprised by the app moving) and prompt the user to move it back before letting them use the app
From something awesome

Thanks for the information
Yes, it's pretty heavy, isn't it ?
I hope some other devs doing a verification as well and if it's a real problem we should find more app issues anyway.

first way:
1-download the file : DOWNLOAD
2-put the file on your phone
3-open ROOT EXPLORER
4-do a backup of “livewallpaper.apk” in “system/app”
5-copy the file that you've downloaded into “system/app” (overwrite it)
6-restart the phone and set your live wallpaper
second way:
1-download the file : DOWNLOAD
2-put it in your sd card
3-restart the phone in recovery
4-flash it and reboot the phone
No go for me, just get the regular ol' LW:s. Didn't explicitly overwrite the original (since it was already deleted) though, but that shouldn't matter.

i'll post another way to do it.....
still no new option bro... tested both methods... using rcmix hd rom...
found the solution... its because of the permission...

hey guys!
ive got the ".ReflexTSenseHD v1.5.1" (a2sd+) ... so my apps are at /sd-ext/app am i right?
ive backuped the old "LiveWallpapers.apk" with adb shell
"mv /sd-ext/app/LiveWallpapers.apk /sd-ext/app/LiveWallpapers.bak"
i put the new apk to the adb/tools folder and then "push LiveWallpapers.apk /sd-ext/app/LiveWallpapers.apk"
everything worked great...no errors...but why the new nexus wallpaper isnt shown after booting in my lw menu? where is my mistake?

Yea I know it's a shame. Funny thing is, while I was
looking for an optimized version I read that some
people with a Nexus S say it lags for them too.
i dont mind some small lag, doesnt bother that much.

Thanks but if I'm not S-OFF?
hi to all.
A simple request.
I have installed this player but, after I installing the honeycomb music player, I have removed it.
But a strange thing happen while I searching upgrade with AppTrack.
I recived a "upgrade" for the Miui even I have removed it.
Where can I see if there are trash files of this player?
PS. Sorry for bad english

You need to use English otherwise the app will be in Chinese. At least I had to change from Danish to English.

Sorry, but we need an explanation, not just screenshots. You already mentioned that it is (Full FS Access) possible for you so no one wonders you finally show it. All we need to know is how to achieve this (xda stuff is also will check for legal things) and why you'll making steps to open your achievements. Previously you said it is Microsoft things to care about, looks like they're disappointed you somehow.
Some answers are right in front of you
Files&folder pro
Aerize explorer pro
the windows explorer app ( the older one ) doesnt work anymore in cyane/gdr1
Maybe if you had *explained* anything, instead of just doing a pile of screenshots, you would have gotten some response...
Are you saying that they have removed the restrictions on accessing app data on the SD card and any app which can browse the SD card can now access that data? Because that's cool and useful, but simply posting a bunch of screenshots is an uneeded and largely unhelpful way to explain that. You say "My 2nd attempt" as though you did something meaningful, but don't explain what that thing is. Did you just install the latest update and try again? If so, say *THAT* instead of posting multiple pages of screenshots.

Multiple windows - Android 6.0

Hey friends,
this thread is a friendly reminder how to activate 'multiple windows' on your Elephone P9000.
Most of you know how to achieve it, but there are still some guys out there who are clueless.
No credits to me ))
As always: Not my fault if you delete or add the wrong ones, be careful(!)
First of all:
1. You Need to have root http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-9919-1-1.html
2. Now you download as example 'Root explorer' https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=de (links of cracks wont be supported)
3 .Now navigate to "System"

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. Click on build.prop and open it with your favorite text Editor (included one is more than enough)
5. Now add this to your last line; persist.sys.debug.multi_window=true
6. Afterwards save it, restart your phone and voila )))
thanks for sharing
Works perfect, thank you

Glad it worked )
is it really usefull ??
just to know before
Its also enabled in Eragon 2.8 ROM, afaik its not possible to root Stock 31052016 with the known method, so no chance to use that tutorial at the moment.
I tested the feature and its funny to play around with, but i do not think i will use it very often: Even on the "big" P9000 5,5 inch screen the splitted apps are very small and hard to use.
Great, is working for me. Comes in handy sometimes
Sent from my P9000 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Haven't rooted yet. I really miss multi-window from my S4, YouTube video running at the bottom and reddit at the top for me to read through. The UI on this split screen looks worse though, no divider, no focus (it seems).

G App install walkthrough

Hello all,
I see people keep asking how to get G Apps on MIUI, and most answers I find lacking so here is (I Hope) an easy walkthrough:
First go to the additional settings:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Second click on privacy:
Third click the unknown sources:
Fourth go to the default tools folder and click on download:
Fifth turn off Xunlei download engine and set downloading to Unlimited (i know it says mobile data but i couldn't get the install to work without this step).
Sixth find the MI app store icon, mine was in the tools folder, launch the mi app store:
Seventh type in google in the search bar you should get the below screenshot. click the secone one (green one)
Eighth you should see the below screenshot result.
Ninth you should see the below icon installed
Tenth you will see the below screenshot, click the big blue button.
this is not a click and forget install, it will install 6 things but the installs are on you and pop up , each time one pops up click install and then click done once it completes.
Eleventh step: find the security app, click permissions. find the below circled apps and give them most of the permissions.
And then lauch the Google Playstore, by clicking on the playstore icon. I hope this helps. please PM me, if you see an error or post if you have a question. I will try to answer asap.
