Hi,
I just started playing with my AT & T Galaxy SII Skyrocket. I installed superuser on it and then tried some themes with Metamorph app on Android Market. Specifically, it gives an option to change themes for settings so I kept trying it. After this, my Settings has disappeared. I cant see it anymore on applications or in the top bar.
I tried installing a new settings.apk from the net, but I get a "installed failed, no certificate" error. I tried opening the existing settings.apk from AndroExplorer but that throws a "parse error, cannot open application".
Can someone help me with instructions on how to get back my settings or how to install a new settings.apk?
Thanks!

Wrong forums, these are not the Skyrocket forums.

I have a curious issue with 345 now...
I've rooted per instructions on this forum, but when I go to manage apps, The option to install third party apps, or whatever the checkbox is, is missing.
I've tried doing the *#*#307#*#, but I get the error: "Need correct passport in SD card, please check it". This prevents the EMlist from appearing.
I then tried to shortcut it, using ADW launcher, and I was able to get the EMlist app in the app drawer, but when I try to click on it to activate, it tells me file not found.
Any ideas on how to get third party apps approved?

If you are rooted. Use root explorer or any root file editor. And look for:
ro.build.APP_DISABLE_UNKNOWN=1
In the systems folder build.prop file.
Change it to =0 I found 3 entries changed them all.
Reboot and the entry shows up in the applications menu.

Mucho appreciando, senor!
you're the best!
It's pretty easy but a guide never hurts!
The first way is to download apks straight from the internet. Credit to yaggermr for finding this first. Thread Here
1. Find your apk. Heres some to get you started
Go Launcher
Amazon appstore! You need to enter your email and they will email you a link.
2. In your notification area, when the download is completed click on it to open it. A popup will appear click the second option package installer. Now click on install. and you are done!
3. To find your apps click the nook button then click search and start typing in the app you want.
The second way is to use ES file explorer I was able to install apk's I had on my SD card through ES.
GO Launcher

I have a rooted NT and GO Launcher v2.65 running with little to no problem except that everytime I reboot any widgets I have added report back:
"Problem loading widget"
None of the apps are loaded on the SD-Card. I've tried a clean install with a reroot with nothing done except Go Launcher and a gapp or two to test the widgets but still get the error. Am I the only one?
On a side note after I rooted I didn't have to search for the Go app link anymore it just accepts the default setting.
Thanks in advance.

This is a Go Launcher error, the program's data has become corrupted. Clear the program cache and then go to the Go Launcher settings and restart the program.
Just unboxed my Nook Tablet yesterday. v1.4.0. I’ve been unable to get any APK to load that will give me the “allow unknown sources” settings options.
I’ve tried about 20 different apk’s (from Amazon, Market, and 3rd parties).
I’ve tried downloading them, I’ve tried loading them off the sd card.
I’ve tried loading with sd card installed and not installed.
I’ve tried installing with wifi on and off…I get the same options/error each time.
When I launch the apk, I get a window that says “Complete action using” App Installer or Package Installer. App installer gives the “archive and unarchive” message. Package Installer gives the “parsing error” message.
Any suggestions how to get the “allow unknown sources” in the Settings Menu Thanks!

well this is a last resort, try doing a full factory reset (push the n and power buttons simultaneously right after the black splash screen when the NT boots up)
do that for 8-10 times and it will initiate a full factory reset, this way you start off with a completely stock NT.
Hope this helps!
I would try Anycut or brianf21 's settings app ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400615 ) before you factory reset. Hopefully one of these can get you to the settings menu that you need.
No luck with the NThiddenSettings apk...it was treated just like all the other apk's...can't get past "archive and unarchive" error message.
Since it is only a few days old, I don't have much to loose with a factory reset, but I'd like to exhaust all other options before going down that path.
Research and reading continues...
Did you open your web browser and googled "full root nook tablet"?
It'll take you to,

Click on the link,
http://li362-167.members.linode.com/gapps/non_google/tgps_launcher.apk
Open it as package installer or something like that. You'll see option for unknown source.

Hi,
Chaos Rings is out on Android since yesterday. Many people encounter a force close issue. So do I.
Now, catlog says "Unable to creat files directory".
Maybe this helps to find a solution!?
Thanks.

Got it to work on my Galaxy Note. Found this in the apk, so figured you just need to hide your superuser app. Renamed "superuser.apk" in my /system/app folder, then I could start the game fine. Once done playing, I renamed superuser.apk.bak to superuser.apk and all is well.
Code:
String[] packagename = new String[] {
decode(activity, "55E3819E6925E350523567266666667627776777") , //eu.chainfire.supersu
decode(activity, "3FDEEF3856F5E1E42F94E3566626676766726667666277") //com.noshufou.android.su
};
Hi, didn't work for me on galaxy note 10.1. And the worst is that the refound option isn't there.
Hmm... guess it might be checking other stuff...
Are you using Chainfire's SuperSU or the standard Superuser app? I was using SuperSU, and it worked for me. I also (surprisingly) didn't have to rename the su binary for the game to start properly. Maybe check your app drawer? Once renamed, my SuperSU app disappeared from the drawer, but different devices may react differently (i.e. you might need a reboot for the app to disappear, which would really suck!)
Yes running supersu and rebooted. I'll give another try later I think to check if supersu really disappears. Tnx btw
Hello. I installed cyanogenmod 10.2 on my samsung galaxy s3 and asus tf101g, and it looks like both of them have one problem with apps showing in play store.
For example I have buyed Mantano Reader Premium and it's showing on "All" section, I can install it and it'll work, but it wan't show in "installed" section, so i'm not getting any update notifications or such. I tried to restore market links with Titanium backup, but it did nothing. In fact, i think the links are ok, because it was installed from market. App reinstall obviously not helping too.
Searching solutions i got some varians:
1) Use Market Helper by Jummy: com.jrummy.apps.google.play.api
Didn't help. I tryed to delete market cache and data, modify device properties in Market helper and reopen market. Nothing helped
2) Modify build.prop and set ro.build.fingerprint to some "good' value.
Didn't help. Actually i found that cyanogenmod already have some value from samsung s3 stock rom, and I also tried to modify it to something from other devices, remove data and cache from market and restart device. Also got nothing.
So, is there any good solution? What exactly is restricted:
- Device name?
- Android version?
- Region?
How I can find and fix that?
For example here is some affected applications:
- Facebook
- Mantano reader premium
- Whats app
They appears in "all" tab, u can install, but it wan't came on "installed". Wan't appear in search also.
I'm using market 4.4.21.
Thanks for helping.
