How do you "allow the installation of nonmarket apps"?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
you have to root your phone and flash a 2.2 ROM. thats one way. the other way, is to use the newest version of Super One Click Root and root your phone, then flash the "allow non-market apps" option. both can be done using the newest Super One Click program. And some advice for you since i'm guessing you're new here, is you shouldn't post something like this in the themes and apps section. this is more of a Q&A topic. Theres prob quite a few threads that can answer your question there. i'm just letting you know before you get flamed for doing something like this again
I did root my phone already, im just not sure how to flash it

If you rooted with Super One Click , there is a button that says "allow non-market apps" like norcal says.
Just click that.
Do I find that in my pc??

You simply need to open the same super one click program you used to root your phone.make sure you have USB DEBUGGING ON.then just plug your phone into your computer cord,and then click on the "allow non-market apps" icon.I believe it is the third box from the left.its right next to the "shell root" box.once you click the "allow non-market apps" box, you should be good to go

Check out mobiletechvideos.com
He has some really comprehensive "how to" videos for rooting and flashing roms for the captivate.
I'm still pretty new to the rooting world and I was able to follow along. Just make sure you watch the video at least once before trying anything and follow his directions exactly.

In Applications > Edit, there is a small minus next to each app to uninstall it. Does it remove the app data as well? If yes, does it always do that? Is it the same as going to Settings > Applications > Manage and removing the app+data?
Nope deleting apps via application>settings method is better way

Both are same.
U can confirm it, first uninstall with appl-edit
Now reinstall app, u won't have data.

Obviously most are aware Google Play have blocked any ad blocking apps but i had an apk. of AdAway from my Galaxy S3 so i installed it on my One but it does not appear to block all ads like it used to even when i manually update it and reboot there's always ads in certain apps, am i using an older version of this apk. or does anyone else have an alternative apk'. of any ad blocking app i could use, or is it something to do with the phone itself?
Cheers
unless you're running a modified kernel with the protection of /system partitions disabled, your host file gets replaced by default every time you reboot.
I've adblock 2.3 and it works fine, i don't have ads in apps
Which version do you have?
And see if you aren't running a custom kernel with /system partition protection disabled.
Have Trickdroid on my phone so I choose stock kernel as it's the most stable i believe, not ready to flash custom kernel yet as development is still in the early stages, running same version as above stated and not sure it blocks any ads, any other way around this without flashing a custom kernel?

There's a mod that removes the protection from the stock kernel. It's in the development section.

But only on full boot, no problem if you have fast boot enabled... Works fine for me without kernel mod in that basis
Only problem was I needed to install Ad away with titanium backup as it did not show up in the market for some reason

As i mentioned in the OP Google play no longer allow apps like ad away and similar ad blocking apps, ridiculous but what can you do.
I actually don't have fastboot enabled, I'll do that now and try again and report back.

Ok enabling fastboot hasn't made any difference, rebooted and ads are still showing in apps.
@ gunnyman what's the name of this thing I need to look out for in development section, I'll give this a go.

Adaway working fine here on ARHD8.0. Get f-droid apk, install, search for adaway, install, profit.

Is your phone rooted??

Had better luck with adblock plus than adaway, might want to try that instead.
This was one of the first things I installed (all of yesterday, when I got it).
First thing to note is that you don't have to reboot the phone, despite what the app says. Just activate it and go back to Home screen. In fact, a reboot, as noted above, will undo the effects of Ad-away.
I did notice that it seemed to disable itself at one point today, unless my phone rebooted at some point in my pocket without my knowledge, which would be disconcerting.

I'm not being smart mate but I've already said I'm running Trickdroid which is a custom ROM so figure it out for yourself :-\

Do you have an up to date apk. for that mate?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I just checked the "help" information in my AdAway app, it sets out instructions for a workaround for HTC S-on devices i.e. how to move the hosts file to data and put a symlink in system...
Think this answers the question in the OP
Per post 12 you can currently get AdAway here either directly or by installing F-Droid market (alternative to Play store)

Aye you can grab it here:
https://adblockplus.org/downloads/adblockplusandroid-1.1.2.apk
If you're on stock ROM and don't want to use any kernel patch to make your /system partition writable, you can flash this little zip through recovery (e.g. CWM) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327934. Does exactly the same as the app (blocking hosts through system's hosts file) but applied via recovery
NO need for USB Cables anymore to transfer files From PC to ANDROID Devices and vice versa.
Had seen this Procedure on some tech site (Sorry but i dont remember the name) but couldn't follow it. Finally tried it myself and here is the procedure:
Requirements
ES FILE EXPLORER
Wi-Fi Hotspot (with or without internet)
Procedure
Connect Phone and Pc to the Same Wi-Fi network.
Open ES File Explorer > Press options > Side bar appears.
Choose TOOLS > REMOTE MANAGER > TURN ON
A link like 190.000.0.0:1234 is shown. Copy it somewhere.
Options > In side bar choose NETWORK > Select FTP.
Select "+NEW" from bottom bar > FTP
In "Port" Type the Link leaving the last 4 digits and colon. Like this "ftp://190.000.0.0"
In "Port" type the last 4 digits only > Check ANONYMOUS box > Ok
Open any Folder in your Desktop and type in the FULL LINK in the Address bar. Like this "ftp://190.000.0.0:1234"
Congrats, thefolder which appears is your Sd-Card.
Now you can Copy Paste whatever you want to your Sd-Card.
Note
You can also use another Android device as Hotspot
Internet connection is NOT needed
File transfer may take time depending on network speed
This procedure needs to be followed only once. Next time only switching on the REMOTE SETTINGS will do

Nice thread. Could be handy to people that have damaged their USB slot.

Yes i know its a bit longer. But u know i find ES file explorer very useful as it has many features. So decided to base my tutorial on that. Plus i havent tried it by any other app.

While trying to re-arrange my icons in the apps folder I accidentally remove the "Clock" app. I wanted to place it on the same line as the Calendar and Calculator apps above it and somehow remove instead. This clock app was already in the S6 and was not download by me!
TIA!
You probably just disabled it. Check in application manager, swipe to disabled and enable it from there

Does not appear in the Application Manager - only the dual clock shows up! Not the Clock with the stop watch, etc...
Are you rooted?
Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk
No, no rooted! This is my first Android phone! I still finding that you have to manually have manage the memory and such. Very shocking!
Do I need to download an App to help me with restoration of the disable Clock App?
Try manually checking to see if there is an OTA available and see it it will install the app in the process. If not, then flash the latest stock firmware from one of the general threads. And you really don't have to manually manage memory. I don't, I let Android do it
