Unable to install non market apps on galaxy note 2

First I downloaded the tubex app from google and it installed like a charm.But when I wanted to install another app I was unable to install that the app installer didnt allow me to click up the install button.But the cancel button ws working up.so I formatted up phone with full data wipe then all non market apps were easily installing.But now again the same problem arrived.please provide me with any solution. (On stock galaxy note 2 rom for India)

Did you check the option to allow installing non market apps on the options/security settings?

Yup definately

You sure you didn't install malware instead?

This makes the most sense to me. I think the apk is the problem, not the phone. It could also be that the apk is specifically compiled for an incompatible device.

You're not using SCREEN FILTER when trying to install non-market, are you?
Don't ask me why....

Haha, yeah, I had the same trouble many months ago! I was baffled! I knew I was doing everything right, but nothing would work!
Also, just so you know, you don't need to uninstall it, you just can't have it activated when you try to install apps. I guess you just can't install apps while it's dimming your screen, but I still can't understand why.
Glad that worked for you! !

Need help with Stock Messaging app

Running on Omega v24 based on Android TW Based 4.3.
Anyway, I need help with something. The "Tiny" font in the stock messaging app is still way too big. I was wondering if there was a manual way in lowering the size of the font in the conversation. I've already tried Lowering the DPI of the app, but that also changes the actual UI, which I do not like.
So basically, I just want to make the font smaller without affecting the UI of the stock messaging app. Any ideas?

Is it a touch wiz based rom?

Possible 5.1 lollipop bug

Ever since I updated to 5.1 I have been experiencing this everytime I pull down for notifications. It's not a huge problem but is pretty annoying. (See pictures below)

No! It pulls up the screen. Notice the three dots at the bottom of the screen.

Seems to me like the system is showing the navbar when you pull down the notification shade. Strange.

Oh, I see what you mean. Looks like it is adding the menu button back., I had assumed it was just part of the shade.
See if there is a setting in Settings->Display to disable the menu button.

There is none. See, this phone has capacitive keys, so it shouldn't be showing the navbar at all. I have 5.1 and don't have this issue. I'd say it's a bug.

Correct! I did a factory reset to see if it would go away but it has not. It also creates a strange bug for Nova launcher as the more times I pull down for notifications the Google Search bar goes further down the screen.

I know it has capacitive keys, I am holding one now
However, there was the option in 4.4.4 to hide the menu button in apps that used it and instead use a long press of the Tasks key to access the menu in those apps. I thought checking that off might trick the notification bar into hiding the button

Did you install the captured soak or the OTA?

Secure Folder is awesome!

So I haven't heard much about the "Secure Folder" feature. I decided to play around with it a little bit and found some cool features I wasn't aware of.
You can have 1 app install twice with two separate user accounts. IE if you wanted two reddit accounts one that is work safe and one that isn't. Every attachment downloaded while in the secure folder container, will be kept inside the secure folder. It also lets you set notification options for apps inside the folder.

It's awesome. Had a hard time figuring it out. Apps I added in the secure folder kept showing up in the secure and app drawer. So I tried uninstalling the one in the app drawer thinking it would uninstall the app completely but it kept the one in the secure folder. I do wish that it keeps the secure folder locked but you have to lock it after you unlock.

You could probably set it only when reboot. Not exactly what you want, but it night me good enough. The lock button at the top of the folder will lock it

But if your phone craps out, you lose all your files. It already happened to me.

It would be good to auto lock when I close the folder instead of locking it back with the lock button at the top.

I was goofing around and decided to test ultra power saving mode, and the phone wouldn't boot. No way changing it back, I had to factory reset, I guess the same thing would have happened with my note 5, but it would have been nice if the private files were stored on the external SD card.

Good point. It's not stored in the SD card. I've only put apps in it so far so I guess I won't be putting picture or files in there. Thanks

You could set it to relock in 5 min I guess. But yes there should be a lock on close feature.

If only it worked with Root! Smh!

Lux and the v20

Hey all,
The auto-brightness on the v20 is subpar, but that's an easy fix with Lux. The thing is, I don't want to see both the brightness slider as well as Lux's brightness widget in the pull down menu.
Does anyone know how to remove the stock brightness slider from the pull down menu without root?

Go to your notification toggles. Hit "edit" and then the 3 dots on top right. Unchecked brightness.

There are times when you want the original screen brightens slider there. Like When you're watching a movie and you want to turn the brightness up. Turn off lux (sleep) and slide brightness up
