But the Install button wont click/hit. I can only click Cancel.
My current Inc S is running stock software:

I am using Astro to locate the files on SD Card and then run them
Thankyou in advance for helping me out.

When I check that option off, it doesnot allow me to install anything and says non-Market apps are restricted, check settings. When it is checked, it tries to install but the install button wont click as mentioned in my 1st post.
Do I need to unlock something or root it. Can anyone pls share a non-Market apk so that I can try to install it (may be the apks I am trying to install right now are not compatible with my Inc S)
Help me please!!

Your not rooted??

Yes I am not rooted. Is rooting necessary to install non-Market apps?
Can I 100% backup by original everything (KERNEL-ROM-I dont know what else etc) so that I can revert back to original system?

I am 99% sure you need to be rooted, otherwise how would you access them like find them on your device because I am rooted and use EX Manager as root user and that's how I side load them but anyone else please correct me?

Like I said before, I put the files in SD card and use ASTRO to locate the files on my SD card and run them. The apk files run but on installation screen, INSTALL button is un-clickable.
Please help.

Maybe the apps u download are not signed!! Just a wild guess!! But rooting isn't necessary to install downloaded apps!! I'm sure about that!! Can u install via market?? I.e play store?

Try another root explorer like root file manager app from store.
If you insist the fixing problem on the app which you are using,

i had the same issue, i posted a new thread asking about this but all i got was some funny solutions like reboot your phone, blink with your left eye ... etc.
so here is what i did to fix it
1- restore (the normal restore from backup & reset option on the settings) the whole device again after backing up all my data and removing the external SD card.
2- with the root still exists i rerooted using this method (Root MANY ANDROID!)
3- i installed all my apps and settings again manually to assure that there is no conflicts with the previous backup.
4- everything went well now

Did you flash vipers zip to override rw protection on system. On the one anytime you alter /system it will not allow it.

[Q] system ui problem

I have looked everywhere for this, but cannot find it. I am not sure how, but the systemui.apk is no longer on my phone, and so all features that it controls are not working. Does anyone have the apk for the Note 1 N7000 jelly bean update that I can download? I am going crazy without my notification bar.
My kernel is 3.0.31-906407
[email protected] #3
Build number: JZO54K.N7000JPLSB.
I have done a factory reset, and tryed to replace it with apk's I have found. I looked at rooting the phone, but I need to ensure I have it till the 28th, when if I cannot fix it my husband will root it. Please let me know if you can help.
Thank you
Nikoah

How do you know systemuiapk is missing? I would expect that it would show a boat load of errors on boot up and not run. What are the symptoms?

It is not listed in the "All Apps" section of the apps manager.
Symptoms: When my phone rings the notification to tell me who is calling does not pop up. I have to go into the phone app to even see who is calling, much less answer the call.
My notification bar is gone.
When I get a text message my phone will vibrate, but not chime.
My wall paper is gone.
I have found threads about rooted phones where people have removed the systemui that this are the same symptoms they have. The problem is that they had the original rooted program they used, so can reinstall that. I cannot do that, as my phone is not rooted. That is why I think my systemui is gone.

Install root explorer and check in /system/app folder for the apk, or in /preload/symlink/system/app. If it's there in preload, you will need to create a symlink for that in system/app.

You won't be able to install it as you're not rooted and it requires administrator privileges. But it's there anyway so I don't think that's the issue.
When did it stop working and was there any app you installed beforehand?

It stopped working while I was using Google voice to send a text. And, no I did not download anything right before hand.

Thats really strange... Try rebooting into recovery (Vol up, home and power held down until you see samsung logo) then choose wipe cache and reboot. I doubt that will fix it though.
Only other options I can see are to root device by installing phillz kernel, wipe cache and dalvik from recovery, or root device, reinstall the app and make sure permissions are correct, or wipe device and start from scratch.

You said you tried to replace it ? How? Do you have an odex or deoxed rom? Anyways you will need root access to resolve this issue if you dont want to go about reinstalling the rom again.

Stop playing with essential parts of your system if you have absolutely no idea of what you are doing.
To get back to a reliable configuration:
download a stock rom and install it following the instructions in Dr. Ketan's thread here.
After that: start to read and learn. High probability this will protect the life of your device.

[Q] accidentally disabled settings.

Alright guys I need your help, and I couldn't find anything that helped. Anyways I was messing with my phone, and I got a system notification that wouldn't clear in the notification bar. I usually just click on the app and click "force close" from the settings app. Unfortunately I accidentally clicked disable instead, and now I can't seem to re enable the settings.
I'm currently running the venom Rom from kit Kat 4.4.2. Hopefully someone can help, and not laugh at me too much. Anyways thanks in advance.

just re-flash the rom

Ya I just tried that a little while ago and it didn't work. Although I didn't wipe anything I just flashed. Do you think I might have to flash?

What is it that you disabled?

If your rooted download startup manager. Enable it in the system area. If not go to customize and add item.

Like clsA said, just re-flash the rom, you will have to wipe everything, possibly your internal storage too as if I remember right, Venom Rom stores the settings there, I know for sure it stores themes and mods there, this will leave your phone completely empty apart from Bootloader and Recovery, you will then have to push the ROM to your internal storage and flash it.
Place the rom in the same folder as adb and fastboot on your computer, put the phone in recovery (main screen only), plug into the PC and open a command window in your fastboot/adb folder and type adb push (rom name).zip /sdcard/
Then flash it.

Alright I'll try that now that I'm home I'll see if that works thank you.

I disabled the settings app. You know where you can see app settings and such. I'll have to wait a bit before I can use a computer. But I was wondering, after using the app you suggested (didn't seem to work on my problem) I was able to find the "settings.apk" file. Wondering if uninstalling and reinstalling the "settings" app would fix anything with out having to lose any of my data. But I'm also not sure if uninstalling the settings would damage my phone, or if I do uninstall it might not let me install it again.
I tried installing the apk with out uninstalling it first and it just said application not installed

Update. I installed app quarantined and was able to find the settings apps disabled there. I was able to use that to 're enable it
