Mi App security scan. - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers

Hi, I had to reset my phone recently due to an issue but now my apps aren't being scanned before installing from google playstore. I have checked the options is on in security settings in security scan to scan apps before installing.
Before the reset. When i donloaded apps from playstore, it was scanned then went to the package installer to install and prompted me to open. Now this doesn't happen? It just installed without scan and no package installer screen either.
Any ideas why? or how I get it to scan the apps again when i download new ones?

It's in the Developer options.

I never understood what these optimizations actually do.

Okay so before i was about to enable the developer option. I tried again and for some reason it started working again....If you leave it alone after a few days later, a new option to scan play store apps or not appears in the settings for package installer and this is where you can turn it on and off.
I also noticed this option isnt available for a few days when you reset your phone.

Yeah, it would work fine. I did it for UberMusic Beta. Just gotta' go to Settings, Applications then allow access for apps that aren't from the market. Same goes for any Android phones you might have.
it worked
You are correct ! There is the option in setting to allow unknown apps . Thanks and BTW , I LOVE MY THRIVE !!!!! AMAZING AND IT IS LIGHT TO HLD AS WELL

Well you already did it then. Now you can install Android apps from places like here, XDA, or other places that's not Android Market place. It still has to be an android app, an APK. I think some people confusing that it means you can download and install any OS app. Lmao that's not the case. If you they to install something not meant for android, it'll throw up an error or whatever.

google apps on my chinese 6gb axon 7

hi, i am having trouble downloading gapps on my axon 7, can some one please help? please know that i am.not an expert what so ever, i tried doqnloading it from zte market and from apkmirror.. nothing worked.
pleeeeease help
any one? im stuck ppl please
I just installed the following apk's:
Googleplayservices
Googleplaystore
Googleframework
Googleloginservice
Kinda sounds like a regional issue.
You need to go to mi-assistant and set Google play services as auto-run on. I also downloaded all the google apps available to get it to work...
After I turned auto-run on for mi assistant I did a restart and when I tried to log into google/play store it asked for my log in details.
Hope this helps...

No, in Australia my bank app works...
If you have another rooted device you might be able to copy and send the apk file to the Axon 7 and side load it though you will need to tick the install third party app option in security settings...
In lollipop you go to root directory and then data then apps to find most apk files....

Help please!

So yesterday I was browsing the Google Play Store when I noticed Google keyboard wasn't installed even though I have it so I attempt to install it again and it failed. I thought it was just a bug so I left it and the next day when I restarted my phone Google keyboard just disappeared. I can't use it anymore I can only third-party keyboard from playstore. Help please I need to get Google keyboard back because I'm so far not liking third-party keyboard. I don't know what I did wrong but tried to fix it by wiping system data and reflash the ROM and G apps but that didn't fix it. So please help me fix this problem thank you in advance.

It says "this app conflict with the existing app by the same name" Google keyboard doesn't show up on titanium backup though.
In your apps settings, check for disabled apps and see if it's there to reenable

How do I do that I'm running cm 14.1 android 7.1 and I don't see that option. BTW if I select show system apps, it's not in there either. BTW I just tested, disable apps will show up on titanium back-up as frozen and a option to defrost but google keyboard isn't even in titanium back-up.

MicroG/Tingle Lineage OS installed; no push notifications but the errors for GPS gone

I have the MicroG apps, as well as tingle on my Moto G4 Play.
For apps that require Google Play Services (Protonmail, Nextdoor, etc), the "missing Google Play Services" errors are gone, but I still don't receive push notifications. Nextdoor app simply crashes with the error "Nextdoor has stopped - Open app again or Mute until device restarts"
This thread regarding Unifiedlp is similar to what I see occurring in Microg: https://github.com/ale5000-git/tingle/issues/23
The dev states, "This usually happen when you install the app as user app, on Android 7+ it should be installed as system app" - can any one point me to info on how to do that?
This is my first time installing a new OS to a phone.
The easiest way is to use this: microG unofficial installer

I already installed microg & tingle on my device; I can uninstall the microg apps to use this, but how do I uninstall tingle (I don;t see any presence for it)?
Will this installer simply overwrite/ignore anything that already exists?
I think there may simply be a setting I'm overlooking, perhaps.. like, unifiedlp is all unticked in the self-check, but the app shows under settings, so it exists and is installed.
Not sure what else to check

Tingle isn't a thing that can be installed, it simply patch a file on the device.
It is needed for microG so if you use it, I suggest to NOT undo the patch.

Yes, the installer will simply overwrite anything that already exists (except if you have already installed microG on the /system with custom filenames but it is unlikely).
Thanks to the Signal messaging app, I clued in on what I was doing wrong.
If anyone else researching this issue stumbles across this, here's what fixed it:
1) Update the affected app, if updates are available
2) microG Settings -> Google Cloud Messaging: Enable, not sure if I needed Google device registration, but I enabled it, too; as well as Google SafetyNet
Today I received my first notification from one of the apps I was struggling with. Nothing for Protonmail yet, though.

SafetyNet isn't needed for most apps.
If you use Push notifications you must enable Google device registration and Google Cloud Messaging.
Reinstall all the apps installed before microG (it is needed to get the permissions); also in case an app don't have working push notification you must also delete its app data.

Thank you very much for the explanations!! Super helpful! Proton hasn't updated/reinstalled since I installed microG; uninstalling now.
I disabled SafetyNet.

Where can I do that, or is it done automatically upon uninstall?

It is in the Android settings inside Apps, but if you uninstall it will also clear data.

Android update and what model

Hi can anyone help please. I have a Chinese head unit that keeps crashing when I try to log into google or the App Store. Wonder if it is better to reflash it and upgrade the os. I can’t find out what make or model it is. Thanks
Of course! The only solution is to update.
And have you tried clearing memory and app data first, uninstalling play store and google service updates or restoring factory settings?
Reveal what you've done so far.

Download the latest version for android 8.1 manually from apkmirror store and google services. Allow installation in settings and install services first, then store.
