Has anyone tried to install off market app after ics update

The setting to allow third party apps is no longer present in the setting menu after ics update. Anyone seeing it anywhere?

I did read somewhere yesterday about a device that lost this after an ota...not a vivid. Until its figured out the sideload wonder machine should work
If att took it out of their ota..running the ruu might give it back..maybe?
If its amazon apps..search google for where amazon stores apps temporarily for install, grab the apk, and sideload

Yeah, sideloading works but this is not an deal way to install third party apps for me. Anyway, I used the RUU to reinstall the rom. Now, the option appears under security.

I am not having this problem. It is on mine which was done ota and I am not rooted, etc. Maybe something happened during the flash.

when upgrading occasionally the market will break. try reinstalling it after wiping your phone completely. then restore your apps via titanium backup. it worked for me when i had the problem of going across different roms.

yeah I've installed several Amazon apps, no issues.

Thank goodness I'm still on the leak, the OTA while awesome still has some kinks to work out.

I did the ATT update and the option is there. See screen shot attached.

New busybox breaks wifi and cell service

FYI I installed the newest busybox and it broke wifi as well as cell reception. Won't recognize the sim. I found this post below as well... going to have to odin when I get home. i have the i957
- - - - -
just for the docs:If you installed Busybox on a rooted OneX with stock ROM, and removed some symlinks in /system/bin, make shure to keep /system/bin/insmod and /system/bin/chmod untouched or link it with /system/xbin/busybox (or wherever you installed busybox to).*If you don't, you phone will not prompt for the SIM PIN and will not show any network operator or signal.If the phone starts, the file /system/bin/poweron_modem_fls.sh gets executed. This file will call a binary named IMCdownload which has /system/bin/insmod hardcoded. If this insmod is nonexistent the IMCdownload will fail and /dev/ttyACM0 (the GSM modem terminal) does't get created.Next, gsm0710mux is called. This tool talks to /dev/ttyACM0. It tries to run /system/bin/chmod (even hardcoded). If this fails, the phone will not prompt for the SIM PIN even.It took me two days and a nearly bricked OneX to figure this out.Maybe its helpful so someone

Mine is broken also.

Hey guys, This isn't a problem with Busybox, It was a bug in my application.
The bug was present in version 8.0 I pathced the bug as fast as possible in 8.1 but a lot of people still got it because of caching issues.
What happened was that it symlinked all applets to busybox which means it overwrote some system applets that on some devices shouldnt be overwritten. I didn't catch this bug because my device was not affected by this.
To resolve this issue, simply reflash your current rom. You do not have to wipe any data.
When you reboot this should resolve the problem.
Again I want to apologize for this problem and annoyance.
Best Regards,
Stephen - Stericson

Thanks for the response!

I'm using the stock rom of Galaxy Tab 7.7, the latest version of Busybox break wifi, and I can't access Google Play, Gmail, I can't install or uninstall from within busybox, and the terminal emulator won't work neither. So i can't install new version, can't access to command line, can't get rid of the installed version.
The rom refreshing is troublesome, since I'm using the stock rom and stock recovery. Is there any simple fix for this situation???

I suppose you could find someone to adb pull the missing files and then push them manually?

Galaxy Tab 7.7 is not a popular device. Besides, I really don't know which file busybox touched.

Reflashing took ten minutes and all my apps are fine. Didn't have to do a seperate root like last time so that was nice. Aslo the bloatware was removed.

WiFi But No Mobile Network
I installed Busybox 1.20.1 and my WiFi still works fine but I have no mobile 3g network. I can call and text message fine also. Google Play and any other application requiring internet access only work while WiFi is enabled. Busybox 1.20.0 worked fine. I have a Casio Commando with a stock rom. I have tried uninstalling busybox but it fails every time, telling me the system will bootloop. I have tried unrooting with no luck also. What are my options to fix this?

What version of my app did you use to install Busybox? 8.0? Curiously if you were hit by the 8.0 bug you lost both.
The easiest way is just to reflash a stock rom. You should not have to wipe or lose any data.

Version 8.3
I've also read that the Casio Commando cannot be reflashed.

Did you change any of the smart install settings? If not, I'm a little unsure if the cause was Busybox.
The previous bug was caused by overwriting system applets that shouldnt be overwritten, that was fixed as of 8.1. so the only way it could overwrite something it shouldnt would be if you adjusted the pre-adjusted settings in smart install.
Have you tried a reboot to see if the issue persists after that? Or maybe a reinstall of Busybox? Maybe you got an incomplete install somehow?

Yeah, I tried all of that. I didn't change any settings either. It won't even let me use smart install anyway. I just used the regular install option. I waited for smart install to finish loading then installed 1.20.1 over 1.20.0 and then I had no mobile network. The 3g icon and bars show up and they're white but they're supposed to turn green. Mobile network settings look good too.

Maybe it's an issue with 1.20.1, Can you try rolling back to 1.20.0?

Yeah, I already installed 1.19.4, 1.19.3, and 1.20.0 after I installed 1.20.1. Right now it says BusyBox v1.19.3 is installed to /system/bin/

Can you run the command:
ls -l /system/bin
and show us the output?

Lost root after flashing SmoothROM 4.4

Hey guys. I got my grouper yesterday, I'm hoping for a warm welcome
The first thing I did when I took it out of the box was fire it up, unlocked and rooted. When I rooted, I flashed SuperSU flashable. I also flashed CWM touch. After that I flashed SmoothROM 4.4, and I was solid. I installed all of my usual apps, then went to do what I call debloating, (Looking for apps I don't use such as voicedialer.apk, and deleting them) using root browser (/system/app). I noticed it wouldn't delete, then tried another app that requires root permissions. Nothing. I got suspicious, then re-downloaded root checker. "Sorry! You're device does not have proper root access!" What happened? Is this just me, or is this a widespread problem with this ROM? I'd like to keep this ROM if possible. Is there a way to re-root my device (more or less)? Thanks, a response or any help would be very much appreciated.

[Q] Titanium Backup issues

NooB alert: A quick background before jumping into the problem at hand.
I have been interested in PA rom for a long time, I really like the idea of Pie controls and now Halo. I have done a lot of reading and feel I have a basic understanding of root/rom etc... However, I am not a programmer or anything close to that, and still a greenhorn. I have a few questions but right now I have one main problem:
1. I rooted my Atrix HD on AT&T 4.1 yesterday via the Motochopper
2. Verified root access
3. Installed Safestrap successfully
4. Installed Titanium Backup
5. Installed Rom Manager, but it doesn't seem to work with the Atrix HD as there isn't an official CWM.
When I 1st installed TB, I got an error message, see attached image. I re-rooted, and uninstalled/reinstalled TB, no error message. When I run the full backup, the black pop-up box that says 'TB given root access' continues to pop up over and over, and usually about 15-20% through the backup, it stops and kicks out to the home screen. I'm not sure what the issue here is? Does anybody know what could be going on?
Also, to answer some additional questions. Do I have to unlock the bootloader to use PA rom, or can I just do that via Safestrap? Like most newbies, I'm just afraid of screwing something up and I really don't want to do that.

for the first qn, please update super user / super su binaries, you can update it in settings of that app. and for installing PAC you need to unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery.. DO NOT TRY ANYTHING WITHOUT UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER.....

I cannot find anywhere to update the su in the su app or TB app.
Thanks for clearing up the bootloader issue. I first thought you could flash the rom without it and just using Safestrap, but the more I read it seemed like I needed to unlock the bootloader...so I got confused.

You have to unlock your bootloader and use cwm. Delete the rom slot you created with safestrap then uninstall safestrap.

Uninstall complete. I searched using the File manager, deleted the Safestrap folder, restarted and still got the safestrap menu.
Edit:
The safestrap folder keeps coming back after I delete it.

Okay, I figured out this issue. I had to reinstall SS and remove the recovery, then uninstall.
So, now how do I fix my Titanium Backup issue? I would like to get that part done before moving on to unlocking the bootloader.

That's what I said to do originally lol. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling tb since safestrap Removal? And are you positive your rooted? Checked with root checking app?

I also downloaded Mybackup Root, this did not work either. It did a similar thing to TB, it kept flashing up 'root permission granted' and after a few apps, it kicked out to the homescreen.

TB is by far the best way to back up data, but you can back up your entire system/data (which is recommend in case of a bad flash) with ClockWorkMod's ROM Manager . You don't need the premium but if you end getting deep into this kind of stuff I'd recoommend it

I downloaded that, but there is no option for the Atrix HD under the list of phones. Do I use the Photon Q?

No. Actually, before you do any of that use the MythTools on you computer and run the program and install CWM on you phone (option #3). After launch Rom manager and choose "Device Not Listed Above". Then scroll down to "backup and restore" and press "backup current rom" follow the instructions and that should do it.

I was hoping to get TB working prior to unlocking the bootloader. Can I change the Superuser app that came with the Motochopper? Maybe that will fix my issue.

Android Pay and Root/Custom recovery

So I got Android Pay today and it looks like it will not work on a stock TOUCHWIZ ROM. Had anyone had any luck using it?
After taking a quick look at what it is needs to verify your phone I'm not sure if we'll ever work on a rooted device.

Stock rom, N910T3

Running unofficial CM 12.1 and no dice, Work at Wholefoods and I have been using Wallet for a while now. Pretty annoyed that I can't even downgrade my google services and get the older Wallet NFC app and why did they decide to split it into 2 apps instead of just one?
Meh....

For the Note 4 (N910T), I had Tekxodus Rom URv5. Wouldn't work. Even tried disabling SU, Changing DPI, RootCloak, etc NO LUCK! However, i decided to get the stock rooted/debloated/deodexed rom - N910TUVU1COG2.
1. Backed up my current rom using TB.
2. Flash N910TUVU1COG2 rom (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347790828)
3. At first boot and setup, immediately disabled SU, and setup Lock Pin.
4. Installed Google Play Services 8.1.14_(2244331-238)-8114238-minAPI21.
5. Installed Android Pay 1.0.103131485
6. Open Android Pay and verified card.
7. Re-Enabled SU.
8. Restore Apps using TB.
Hope this helps.

The old wallet app works better and supports more cards

REAL bad experience with No Device Check (Xposed) on rooted N7100 Note 2, stock rom, 4.4.2.
Installed it, rebooted and immediately I noticed that all of my apps that require root had disappeared from not only the main screen but from the app drawer.
Thought that I would freeze it but Ti Backup wasn't there.
Went into App Manager and tried to uninstall but it would not uninstall.
Wanted to restart into recovery mode but the options were missing... just the option to restart which did not work. The phone would not restart.
Did a full shut down and restarted into recovery the conventional way and luckily got into TWRP and did a recovery. Thankfully I did a backup last night.
Before doing a recovery, I worked on the phone from a 99% charge down to 11%, so I spent some time with it.
One funny thing though, while going through all of this, I got an update to Android Pay and my camera app.
Right after that update, I opened AP and it wanted the code on the back of the card so I tapped the field and the keyboard didn't come up and that's when I decided to do the recovery from TWRP.
BTW, over the last few days I tried all of the above suggestions and none have worked but haven't tried them again after the update to Android Pay. I think that for the time being I'll just play it safe and whip out the plastic.

so basically you can't use a customized rom

Android pay is working. However I believe that may change with the next update of the Android pay app. Most likely not until the new year.
