I used to be able to install non-market apps that I had downloaded on the internet. I have checked in allow unknown sources app to be installed. The only major thing I've done since I was ABLE TO INSTALL NON-MARKET APPS IS: I INSTALLED Liquid Smooth Rom (Sorry caps got locked.) and mess around with a lot of settings; but I can find anything I did wrong. Yes I checked and Unchecked and then check again allow installations of unknown sources. Please help. Not a Nobie. thanks in advance.

Sweet Thank you I figure out how to disable Halo and Installed Free Riptide GP and Playing sweet. Why does it do that? Is it because is still on Beta phase and it has a bug or what?

It's a security feature built into android that prevents overlays from installing apps.
Thank You. Could you please explain It's a security feature built into android that prevents overlays from installing apps. I'm an Eager Beaver to learn.
overlays have more access to your systen than typical apps. its a security feature so that a malicious overlay doesnt install other malicious apps into your device without you knowing about it.
I'll be looking to root my tablet soon, but are there any custom ROMs for the Yoga tablet 2?
Hi,
I'm searching also for custom ROMs for my Lenovo Yoga 2 (1050F), because it would be a good start to build a custom ROM for Marshmallow (6.0). I would like to get the new "Doze" standby feature, because it's perfect to save battery for tablets.
There are some instructions to root the tablet, but I haven't luck to find a custom ROM. Has somebody found a custom ROM?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nova

Add me to the list. I'd love a custom ROM for the Yoga 2 Tablet pro. Get rid of the bloat and speed it up.

it always wonders me... why a custom rom? or more exactly what is a custom rom?
if only the bloat is the problem (and i guess you cannot uninstall on normal interface) then open a shell (as root) and try playing with the package manager tool pm
on my 1380f i have disabled these packages:
com.lenovo.weather.theme.dreamlandPad
com.lenovo.deskclock
com.lenovo.lenovodaydream
com.lenovo.paperdisplay
com.google.android.play.games
com.google.android.apps.messaging
com.lenovo.fingerpaint
com.lenovo.videoplayer
com.lenovo.anyshare.gps
com.google.android.youtube
com.lenovo.lps.cloud.sync.row
com.google.android.music
com.google.android.talk
com.google.android.apps.magazines
com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget
com.lenovo.email
com.google.android.apps.docs
com.google.android.apps.books
sure thing you can disable more or not so many as i did
to view a list of all your packages:
pm list packages
the command to disable is
pm disable package_name
if you want them back enable
pm enable package_name
to completely uninstall
pm uninstall package_name
but you should play with enable and disable only imo, and after i disable a package i leave it there (i don;t unintall, it's only a dead apk file now, and not that much space)
take care the command can and will break your tab if improperly used (it basically doen;t limit you at anything)
you can play with these two to see what your tablet will behave, also watch the logcat *:E for errors, you get the ideea, don't just disable and expect good things to happen (with what i have disabled my tab is basically "lenovo free")

Thanks for the tip, man! I just found out they'd updated the UI and the new one is sooo much more pleasing. What I didn't like before was how uncustomizable the standard interface was. Also, I could not play Hearthstone on it. But now it's so much cleaner and I've disabled all the unnecessary bloat as per your recommendation. :highfive:
i have a LENOVO YOGA Tablet 2 Pro 1380F.
So there will never be a Release from CyanogenMod for the device?
and add me to the list
All,
I've posted about my forthcoming Yoga Tab 2 830F ROM. Called SleepyBear. Please check in Thinkpad General and come show your support.
I'll have a test ROM on deck this weekend. I need some testers.
The challenge is that we don't have native recovery. I've been using tethered CWM which works fine on identical models.
More to come. If you can test, PLEASE let me know

You can also enable/disable system apps via Titanium Backup. This would be a much safer means of trial and error. Uninstalled apps that cause instability can be restored tout suite

@ionioni - In my experience, most custom ROMs are usually built to create a faster, more power efficient and lean system. In the case of my ROM (SleepyBear), it contains a modified init.d with a host of performance enhancements: fstrim (recover space and increase file access), sqlite (group file history and tasks in a faster queue), cache reclaim (often frees up 400-600MB of RAM without disturbing the active system) and weekly cleanup tasks (e.g. Dalvik cache).

Hello all!
I have a Galaxy Note 4 910C(exynos), rooted and using DN5, and I always see people talking about bloatware that comes pre installed and are useless.
I'm wondering what are acutally those and how do I remove them?
Thx in advance!
since you'r rooted, use titanium backup. You can try the app called Greenify or simply disable those apps your app manager.

For a rooted device, KNOX related apps are bloatwares since rooted KNOX disabled & can't be used on a rooted device.
The other bloatware is user preference.
Which app that you don't use is a bloatware

That's exactly what I mean, any apps that you don't need.
You can even remove phone (if you never use your Note 4 for a phone call ) & Touchwiz.
Rule of thumb, if you never heard of it & it's not inside the App Drawer, don't delete it
NOTE: TouchWiz is not in the app drawer
I do it in a simpler way. First I clear the data from settings and then using root explorer I go to system/app folder and I directly delete preinstalled apps that I never use for example- samsung push service, mobile print, chat on, hangouts, google books, yahoo weather, etc. Theres another folder called system/priv-app
WARNING: Don't delete apps you have absolutely no idea about. It can cause your phone's OS to malfunction.

This. I don't have a note 4 (yet). but I learned it the hard way on my nexus 4. thank god for TWRP and its file manager.
Usually what i do is backup the app before i uninstall it to see if i notice any system instability caused by uninstalling it.

Yes you will get the updates
But then also i would suggest to uninstall all themes or layers before installing the OTA
It may brick your device

My last phone was a Titan or Moto G2 XT1068. In that, I rooted the stock ROM and tried uninstalling gapps but it went into bootloop. Only if I installed a third party launcher, uninstall gapps except Google, and then after a successful reboot I uninstall Google, it used to work. But mostly, the home screen never showed after uninstalling Google.
My question to you guys is
How can you get rid of gapps from Athene running latest stock rom? I tried System App Remover, but it kept failing. I rooted my phone with phh's superuser.
Pls help
Have you tried this debloater script in the Mods section? https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/stock-rom-debloater-t3729594
As always, back up your device before using.

AFAIK stock ROM comes with Google Now Launcher, and removing Google app with cause force close to Now Launcher, (may be because of Google widget or side screen??)
You can remove google app from /system/priv-app or /system/apps (don't know exact place and folder name.)
Also remove google now launcher and install other launcher or use flashable launcher installer zip (like trebuchet or others) available on other XDA forums..
After it, wipe delvik and cache from TWRP, also take backup before proceeding to remove anything..

You cannot use Google keyword search and other things that you might want to use from Google. So easy way: freeze it, test everything, then decide if it should be deleted or not.

Depends what you mean with function properly... For example: Google play store is also a Google app. You need a third party app store like F-Droid or install every app separate per apk file.
Living without Google is possible, but you should decide. There's no yes or no in terms of recommendations. Only minor apps are outside the Google play store available.

Is the Convert User app to System app part of Titanium Backup Pro, or is it in the free version too? I'm not sure how up to date this page is, which suggests this feature is only in the premium paid version: https://www.titaniumtrack.com/titanium-backup.html
Still, it's such a useful tool it's worth buying the premium version for

It's only in the premium version this app is the best you can have if you are a flashaholic and worth the money. I have it since 2010 and it's my #1 app :good:
Your Device can run fine without google Search & Google now launcher.
I've made a zip file for that, try it out. But remember to install and make some other launcher as default before flashing this zip.

So what happened is this. I installed the mod apk and also tried the normal one of titanium backup. All of them keep stopping and never open up. Why is this happening?
