Hey, I have a few questions relating with opening intents and checking certain system settings.
1. I'm trying to have my app open to directly to the system unlock styles, so far I can only open to the system security settings, not to the unlock styles
2. I'm trying to have my app open to the notification access settings and close automatically after the user has enabled access. So far I can get the notification access settings to open but I can't check if its enabled (I need to check this as I will use it to prevent the user from skipping the step of the app's setup process)
3. I'm trying to make preferences that have a checkbox/toggle setting and an intent that the user can open

I need to find a way to invoke the installer app on the G1 when downloading a third party app via OTA. I know its possible, I'm just still stuck in the Windows Mobile realm and haven't switched gears to Linux for awhile. Any thoughts?
If you're talking about installing via the web browser on the device, you need to serve up a specific mime type, i believe it is application/vnd.android.package-archive
I read somewhere on another forum that there's a setting that needs to be changed on the phone to allow non-market apps to install on the device. I'll see if I can find it.
Here's how
Download Web files and applications
Before you download any files or applications using the Browser, note the following:
• Before you can download Web applications, you must explicitly “allow” downloading from the Home > Settings screen:
1
Press HOME, then press MENU and select Settings.
2
Select Applications, then on the Application settings screen, select the Unknown sources check box.
• All items downloaded form the Web are stored on your SD card, so be sure you have a card installed in your phone before you download from the Browser. (Read more in “SD card slot” on page 11.)
• The Browser will only allow you to download items that are supported by an application installed on the phone.
I can't get any apk file to install if its on the SD. Is there anyway that the apk could call on the installer to run? Its a really big pain for me right now. I need to be able to offer a free app but for reasons I can't get into I need it to be installed from the device and not OTA.
Hey everyone. I saw that there's a whole topic on this, with some INSANE methods for enabling this. (Such as bringing something over to your computer, and what-not)
Required:
SQLite from Market
Root (SuperOneClick, z4Root, whatever)
1. Go into SQLite
2. Scroll to com.motorola.android.providers.settings (Settings Storage)
3. Tap settings.db
4. Tap settings
5. Scroll down to _id70 force_only_market_apps
6. Set the 1 in the value field to 0
Voila. Unknown Sources. All done from your phone.
That's a quick fix. So that is the only file that we need to modify? Do we need to change permissions or anything? Im waiting for the phone to get here, will try it when it get here.
The only one. No permissions needed. The SQLite app takes care of everything for you. Only turn-off some people might have is that this is a paid app.
I was able to sideload this app and edit the DB with it to allow non-market apps.
Works wonders...had been waiting forever to do this to my wife's phone...just waiting on ROM now...*excited*
I tried to use and phone said do not have permision. Yes I have root.

Hi,
I've been using this app for a couple of days (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=joel.sternet.se.full2) but decided I wanted to uninstall it again.
Now I followed the instructions by the author, so that the device administrator rights would be removed and I could remove the app.
However the 3 top options for the type of lock screen (the 3 that don't require a password) are still greyed out, and right below it says that these options are disabled by a device administrator.
I've checked the device administrator menu under security, and I only have ADM and Cerberus active, and those two were active before I tried the new app.
Help, what can I do to remove this? Is a factory reset the only solution?
Kind regards
had this problem, finded solution another place so i just write here:
1. Go to Settings
2. Select Security which under "General" tab
3. Under Credential Storage -> Clear Credentials

I was wondering whether anyone has been able to successfully disable lockscreen security when VPN profiles are created.
I tried to edit locksettings.db but I can't seem to access it on my phone - SQLite Manager crashes and there are seemingly no strings inside the database file.
Alternatively, are there any apps which I can use to connect to a VPN profile, thus keeping it separate from the system? (although not preferred)
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:
