Will this work on the nougat stock beta ROM? Since that's the only option for Verizon users at this point for nougat? Also do we have to root? It's under my assumption that there isn't root yet available for the stock nougat for Verizon... Looks awesome and excited to try this out and what options are soon to come for Verizon users because of this. Gives me hope for a nougat stock experience for Verizon s7 Edge users! Thanks again

Inquiring minds want to know

I guess you havent seen this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...din-stock-nougat-firmware-s7-edge-to-t3558313
It will work on stock beta 2 but I have the official tmobile nougat firmware working on our phones. Only thing that doesnt work is wifi calling and Visual Voice Mail but Volte and Video calling work. So you might want to look into that

Just tried this and it did not work. The xml script for package disabler didn't do anything and once it got to the part where the device should reboot, it never did. Please help or advise?

Did you accept the adb key when prompted did it install anything

Here is the package disabler pro import script. You can also just istall all of the apks manually if you have to

No it shows three lines of text. One is the device ID I think, one says device is recognised, and then something else. Nothing about not being unauthorized, unavailable, not found or anything like that. It sees the device just fine.

It doesn't need root right? Can you possibly post screen shots of the setup steps so we can compare screens and I'll try to post images of mine as well. Thanks for the help id love to get this working and try it out. Installing all the apks one by one just doesn't seem to be the same as what the OP describes

Here if you dont have those numbers before device its not recognized

Is usb debugging enabled and verify apps over usb disabled

Did you accept debugging key. If this never came up. In developer settings click revoke usb debugging the unplug and replug your phone into computet. If the below screen still doesnt come up start the bat file then it will pop up. Accept key close bat then reopen and start process

Installing apps manually will work just fine. Then just copy the playstore.xml file from the zip of it I posted and import it with pacage disabler pro it should disable 126 packages

Enabling any of the apps in accessibility says this error "*app* does not support the current system language. The text-to-speech language will be set to to null, but this might cause unexpected behavior. When i click turn on settings crashes and it doesn't enable.

Oneplus 3T oreo and amazon appstore

Hello,
There's a little problem to use amazon appstore because you must allow it to install unknow source app.
But himself was download out of the official google store (there's not choice) then you can't allow an unknow source to install unknow source app.
Before android 8, it was possible and now how do it ?

I don't have any such problem

Since ever.
I had root since the beginning.

Since Android Oreo, "unknown sources" have been separated so now you have to allow it for each app separately. You can find it in Settings > Apps > Special access > Install unknown apps.

exactly, przemcio510,
But because "amazon appstore" was download outside from the "google play store", it doesn't appear in this list. ( but maybe there's something , i don't understand)
With Oreo, it seems the system changed , now you can allow an app to install an unknow source and NOT allow YOU to install unknow source.

As I wrote earlier, there is no problem with Amazon.
It doesn't matter in which setting you are finding the unknown sources. It works just fine.

Well, that might be true, however for us it does NOT work, because in our case the setting can NOT be found at all
Same as rifmouk, i found the list where I should be able to enable apk installations through the Amazon App Store. However, there is no 'Amazon App Store' in that list, only a few other apps like my browsers.
I already had a lengthy discussion with the Amazon support about this. After letting me wait for a few minutes, the lady came back and asked me "Do you already have Marshmallow?"
In the end she suggested contacting One Plus, they should be able to unlock the 'install from unknown sources' setting (she didn't want to hear about that setting not being there anymore) on my phone from remote :laugh:
Anyways, I contacted them again via twitter. They told me the devs would take a look, and to have just a bit of patience. That was roughly three months ago.

And from a personal experience: the customer support of the Appstore is ****. I had also some long discussion about a problem with another device and they didn't have a clue, although they had people searching over the matter for weeks.

I just now installed the Amazon app store APK. Then I opened the application, logged in, and downloaded an app.
I was then prompted to change my settings to allow the downloaded app to be installed.
At this point I checked in Settings>Apps>Special access>Install unknown apps and the Amazon app is listed.
I'm in OOS 5.0.1.
So everything behaves as it should. Nothing wrong with the Amazon app or Oreo.
I suggest you wipe the data for the Amazon app and go through the process again.

I tried reinstalling it, still the same issue. Here is the list I have (can't post correct links yet).
http s://pasteboard.co/HeMKbPp.jpg

I have the same issu like u!

I have installed amazon appstore. I have given permission to allow amazon appstore to install from unknown source. But still when I try to install app from amazon appstore it shows that allow to install from unknown source in security settings and open security settings menu. I have allowed all permissions to amazon appstore but still not able to download or install single app.
Any solution please.!!

same thing for me since Oxygen Os 5.0.3

I'm running into the same thing rifmouk, running Oxygen OS 5.1.3 with redownloaded and installed Amazon Appstore as of today.

App update
Update: scratch everything below. Even when you enable the Appstore to install outside apps, it still prompts you to enable outside apps with a message inside the Appstore. Looks like Amazon still has work to do.
I was having issues with this too and wanted to give an update. It seems that Amazon has released an updated version of their app. You have to uninstall the Amazon Appstore app and then download the new version from the internet. If you don't uninstall first, it will just open the old store to try to download the new one.
Ironically, you'll have to enable chrome to install non-play store apps. This is done (as suggested earlier) by going to settings>apps>special access>install unknown apps. Once you've installed and signed into the new app, you will need to attempt to install a new app. It will again prompt you to go to the wrong (old) security section in the Android settings. Just navigate to the "special access" section from earlier and the new Amazon Appstore should be listed at the top.

I finally found the cause and also the solution of this issue.
In android Oreo, because of the new security management of "unknown apps", the value of the legacy setting INSTALL_NON_MARKET_APPS is now always 1.
See this page for more details: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/android-8.0-changes
This means that in Oreo there is an "old" string, only for legacy reasons (and bypassed by new security settings), that ALLOW unknown sources by default.
I found that some "security" apps (like avast, in my case), NOT well optimized for Oreo, detect this legacy string in Oreo as main setting for unknown sources: the result is an automatic procedure inside that "security" app, that disables unknown sources permission in that legacy string (wrong place, avast!).
The result is that, for some "strange" (bad) code inside Amazon Appstore, this app see only that legacy string and blocks any installation (even if you enable installations from this app in Oreo special permissions). Moreover, Appstore - as a result of this bad edited legacy string - point you to a wrong settings window (the "old" window, for nougat android and earlier).
The worst thing is that there is no window, no gui (graphical interface) to edit the above legacy string inside android Oreo settings, so you have to do it yourself using terminal (ADB).
SAID SHORTLY:
connect you device through ADB terminal.
write the following command
adb shell settings put global install_non_market_apps 1
(command to enable "old way" Unknown Sources).
Oreo needs to allow every single app as usual, you restored only one "invisible" (but necessary) Oreo legacy string as it is intended to be.
And don't use messy security apps anymore!
As an alternative of the above string, use:
adb shell settings put secure install_non_market_apps 1
THIS METHOD DOES NOT NEED ROOT, ONLY ADB DEBUG ENABLED!
Please, give thanks if this was useful, and share always with credits.
Thank you.

Thank you, @alessia3. I've been trying to find a fix for this issue on my OnePlus 5T for six months. Once again able to download some apps I got on Amazon's app store before my Nexus 6p died.
I'll note that install_non_market_apps is under secure, not global, in my phone.

This is a 7z archive with the zip'ed rom and the md5 file in it. Please unpack this archive, copy the included two files somewhere to your device, reboot into TWRP and flash this zip file. Enable md5sum checking. The zip file itself is not signed, so you have to disable zip verification.
Kernel sources
Tree sources
Features:
OS Version: 10.0 (Q)
Kernel: Linux 3.10
Kernel 3.10.108

Using sony blob's from stock version 32.4.A.1.54
Memory issues finally fixed!
Battery consumption significantly reduced! For further reduction, please follow these instructions.

Updated aptX encoder blobs.
P2P-Crashes fixed.
Important informations:
You should be familiar with general installation of custom ROMs.
Required for installation: TWRP 3.2.1 (pick the version from 2018-02-23!!!) There is a version 3.2.3 out there, but with that version I had problems to restore my backups. 3.2.1 is just working perfect for me!
OR use my self built TWRP-version 3.6.2!
This ROM needs a clean install, old /data may cause problems!
This ROM is NOT pre-rooted.
It is highly recommended that your device is running (or HAS RUN in the past!) the latest stock ROM from Sony (32.4.A.1.54) before flashing this ROM.
Otherwise the baseband files may not match.
Working:
Bluetooth
Camera; both built-in camera (Snap) and 3-rd party camera apps.
Snap may be a little bit laggy, please use 3-rd party camera app instead; for example OpenCamera. If you're running into errors, please report.
Enforced SELinux support (see attached screenshot)
Fingerprint

Maybe some more things are not working.
If you have problems with GApps:
Sometimes the SetupWizard of GApps crashes on and on. Then you have to boot into TWRP, mount system, and go into terminal, where you have to delete SetupWizard (see screenshots):
Code:
cd /system/system/priv-app
rm -rf SetupWizard
Reboot.
Use this rom at your own risk! It comes without any warranty! I'm not responsible for any damage! If you don't agree with that, don't try to flash this rom in any way.
Benefits:
Added F-Droid and UnifiedNLP! If you don't want this, simply de-install it.
I've set maximum speaker volume to a higher value.
I've increased microphone gain.
I've changed the microfone gain to avoid echo in phone calls.
Changelog
Troubleshooting:
If you're running into an error, please search in this thread if this error is already posted, before you post it again!
If not, I need a LOG to see what went wrong. Without a LOG I can't help you!
A LOG can be fetched by connecting the device with an USB cable to your PC and then by typing these commands line by line:
Code:
adb root
adb shell logcat -b all -d > logcat
Send my this LOG file via PM.
If you think this could be a SELinux related issue, please try to set the device to permissive mode first.
If the issue is gone, I need the policy file too (plus LOG). Fetch it by typing this line in a terminal:
Code:
adb pull /sys/fs/selinux/policy
If you stuck in a bootloop you can fetch a LOG with this trick:
Press the power button and the volume up button together until the device shuts down.
HOLD the power button.
Release the volume up button and press the volume down button immediately after releasing the volmue up button.
The device should start into TWRP recovery.
Tap on "Advanced", then on "Terminal" and enter these commands line by line:
Code:
cd sys/fs/pstore
cp * /sdcard
Send me the copied file(s), if any, via PM.

Hi Bernie,
First things first : Thank you so much for your amazing work on this device.:highfive:
So hard to find a good, compact and up to date smartphone.
So i tried your Los17.1 and i just noticed another issue : ram usage.
Without nor the gapps neither other apps installed, the system is using 1.6go ram (even the keyboard can take time to appear once you launch an app)
On your Los14.1 (i tried with the last one you created, a few days ago) : it would be something like 0.8go ram (so everything run smoother) still without gapps and other apps / settings.
Maybe, now our days, 3go ram is mandatory for android + gapps + 3rd party ...

I know about that. I've tried with gapps and I can confirm that ram is running out of free space. Sometimes the system is not responding any more (screen is flickering and it seems that nothing happens) and I have to restart it (press power button quite a long time until power menu appears).
It is indeed far away from being a daily driver... :angel:
Another issue: It seems that location services (gps) are not working.
Does anybody confirm that?

Although Bernard warmed us that this ROM is not precisely ready yet, I tried to give it a go, Twice, already. At each time, some variations: with and without gapps (Pico and Nano), via the recommended TWRP and the 3.3.1 one. The result is always the same: after the language selection, my phone reboots on the 'Just a sec', endlessly. I have to restore a nandroid backup, on order to have a working phone again.

You have to enable google's location service in location settings. With that, maps is working with correct location; but I don't know if the location comes from gps, wlan or network. It's raining since many days and I don't want to stand outside in the rain and wait for gps connection... :angel:

Pretty strange, indeed.
The phone i tested with is on another provider than my z5c.
I got to say that i checked the apn before making my tests, and they were good.

The APN shouldn't matter for regular calls unless you're using Wifi calling or VoLTE, maybe disable both and see if it works.

Enable ECG(BP Featur) On Non-Samsung Phones for Galaxy Watch 3, Active 2 Step-By-Step

Update 09/29/20:
1. The latest Samsung Health Monitor Version 1..1.0.175.Caravana (Thanks Caravana for the Mod) Download
This tutorial should work on all Android Phones to enable ECG for your Galaxy Watch 3 and Active 2. BP might also work the same way when it is released in the US.
Basic idea is to create your own certificate to sign ECG.tpk application and install it on your watch, then install the Samsung Health Monitor Mod app on your phone.
I have read lots of threads on XDA and can't find a complete tutorial about how to do it for Galaxy Watch 3 or Active 2. Hope this step-by-step tutorial will help. The whole process took me around 30 mins, it shouldn't be very hard. Make sure you back-up your watch first, just in case anything goes wrong and you need to restore data.
You will need an Android Phone, a Windows PC and Galaxy Watch 3/Active 2 watch for this tutorial. And a wireless network.

Nice! I'm in the process of following this guide at the moment. Tizen Studio's package installers are so slow!

Nice to have well documented details! kudos

Step 6. I don't have a Samsung logo. When I click the + in certificate manager it just asks me for a certificate profile name

Is there a risk of voiding the warranty or bricking the watch doing this?

Is there an IPA file for this that can be sideloaded onto an iphone? I'm no expert at this stuff and have only followed the great instructions here before so not sure. Or is there any way to connect my GW3 to my Samsu g Tab S6 on Verizon that shares my iPhone number? I'd like to get the Health Monitor app features as I really don't want to go back to an apple watch.

Supposedly on tizen 5 there is no bp.tpk - ecg and bp are now both in ecg.tpk. installing old ecg.tpk may be main reason for bp not to work. Did anyone try to follow the tutorial but use new ecg.tpk? Does ecg.tpk need to be specialy prepared to by signed with certificate or can we do it with new ecg.tpk that has been posted by caravana?

Can there be a mess if in the future I change my phone and take a samsung?
Does the smartwatch remain unaffected? Will I always have to update it manually?

Works great!

hide it in magisk hide section of Magisk manager app.
Also, make sure you're passing safetynet on magisk manager & from manager's settings, enable magisk hide, also hide magisk manager & give it another name.

I can confirm I pass safetynet, I have all samsung related items enabled in the hide section and I've renamed the magisk manager app and renamed it. Still nothing

Thank you very much!! @xxstd
I had some problems running "sign.bat" due to relative path command routes, but after "customizing" the script changing to absolute path, all went ok.
I've signed BP.tpk and ECG.tpk and both are running OK in my GW3. I live in Spain, and here in Europe neither ECG nor BP are approved, so it is not the reason your BP tpk is not working IMHO.

Can you confirm the Tizen version from your watch? I know if you are runing Tizen 4.0.0.8 you could get BP works as well. Only ECG for Tizen 5.

Hmm, are you using the latest version Tizen SDK? Mine is Tizen Studio 3.7, they might change the UI a little bit for different versions.

Well, as the debugging mode has been enabled, if you tell Samsung they will possibly decline the warranty since they don't know what you have done to the watch...... But you can always turn it off, and reset the watch anytime you want.

Question Access denied popup

I'm using a rooted S21 Ultra. I'm on stock android.
It's been rooted for 1.5 years and there were no issues. A couple of months ago the attached popup started to appear. I press ok and it goes away. This can happen between once every 2-3 days to a couple times a day.
There were no significant changes on the device when this started, so I have no idea what caused this to appear.
On my searches I read that it could be the Samsung Health app, so I I installed it, but that didn't help. I guess it's another Samsung app? But which?
Right now I'm running A13, but this started a couple of months back when I was running A12. The upgrade didn't change that.
Any leads on this?

Yes there were, you rooted your phone. That's a "significant change".

A number of Samsung apps will check for root/Knox status, and since Knox is hardware based (i.e. trip it once, and it's tripped forever), even if you return to complete stock, these apps won't work.
It's mainly the apps whose data security heavily depends on the phone's root status (even if it's currently unrooted, it's been 'compromised'), so Samsung Health, Secure Folder, etc. are the main culprits for such a message. However it's possible that Samsung added a system-level check that causes the pop-up.

I will clarify again. My phone was rooted for about 16 months before this message showed up. It's been rooted 1.5 years and the message is here for 2 months. This is what I meant when I said no significant changes before the message appeared.

I have the same problem when I first bought the phone, I rooted it, then I unrooted it, but because knox was triggered, android 12 was not coming out, so it started to appear after I made the CSC change. android 13 e upgrade

Someone had a discussion on this link last month, so I wrote it, but no one answered.
How to fix "Access denied" screen randomly appearing on rooted devices
A couple of days ago my S21 Ultra running G998BXXS5CVIF automatically opened an "Access denied" screen. It was impossible to show which app cause it as it disappeared once you got to the app switcher menu. Access denied Unauthorized changes...

For rooted
Delete System/priv-app/DigitalKey + uninstall update
OR
Execute this from terminal
Code:
adb shell
su
pm hide com.samsung.android.dkey
For unrooted
You can try disable appears on top permission for digital key app

The phone is not rooted, is there a non-rooted solution? @dr.ketan ?

Can you explain in more detail what programs should be used to do what you wrote?

For permission you don't need third party app
Open settings - apps - enable show system app - search Digital Key and disable show on top permission

Settings / apps / private access / show on top / Samsung wallet digital key is it correct? Dear @dr.ketan

B I got results by following this way, I recommend it.
