Can't find "Install from Unknown Source" option in settings (Jelly Bean)? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hey guys!
Trying to recover some of my apps on my new Jelly Bean ROM but Titanium says it can't because installing apps from unknown sources is blocked. So I go to Security in settings and theres nothing there to allow manual app installs...in fact, the option is no where in settings.
Are we not allowed to install apps from outside the App Store or is this setting something that is just missing?

How about you read the first two posts of the thread. It was there!

I only answered it to prevent a useless Google search. Now the answer is here in case someone who knows how to search finds this thread.

Become a developer!
Goto “About phone” (or tablet)
Tap the "Build number" (the last item) 4 times slowly
On each tap, it will remind you how many "click" away from being a "developer"
At the end, it will told you "You are a developer now"

What do you mean by looking in Birds nest/lock screen/security? What is the Birds Nest you are referring too/ Sorry for the no0b question. I'm having the same issue as the OP trying to reinstall some of my apps that I backed. I have the latest 4.2.2 Jellybean and I have the Unknown Sources checked, and the Verify Apps unchecked. When I tried to install my back up paid apps, I get a error saying "not installed." These are my legit apps that are tied to my account that I paid for. It will let me install the free apps like facebook etc. I just don't understand. Anyways, I didn't want to make anew thread so I figure i asked hear. I been trying to figure this out. Thanks!

Open titanium press menu go to preferences then down to back up folder location. Let it detect and select entire device. Then if found select use current location after selecting it. Back out and reopen tibu.

Neutrino ?

I got a dialog that popped up that I've never seen once i installed the market that asked me about all the permissions well i turned most of them off and now i cant figure out where to turn them back on again because it is blocking the market..
maybe try uninstalling the marektplace and reinstalling. Should prompt for settings on a fresh install. Probably the quickest way i can think of.
You cant uninstall the market lol. Maybe reinstalling the rom but i want to know what the app is and where i can locate it for future use

Prime wont update to JB not rooted, Suggestions?

I have an not rooted Prime here with no Jelly Bean goodness. I've tried multiple restarts, enabling netflix, and now the closest thing it will do to updating is say "check notification area". At that point it lies because there is no notification of a update about to download. Any suggestions? I really dont have the time to mess around with rooting, just want to know if there's a quick solution out there.

[Q] How to remove annoying message "clear default app settings by going to settings"

[Q] How to remove annoying message "clear default app settings by going to settings"
Hello guys
Since JB on SGS3, my phone KEEPS asking me to set defaults for the same things, really bloody annoying.
"Clear defaults
Clear default app settings by going to settings > applications manager > all"
An utter pain in the arse. Anyone found a way to make Touchwiz remember defaults or to stop giving this newbie bollocks message?
I'd love some brainy hacker to make it gooo away!

Titanium -> backup/restore -> TouchWiz -> freeze
Make sure you have a proper launcher already loaded, like ADW/Nova etc.

thanks mate, i will try that!
i am thinking though, wouldnt freezing touchwiz also stop the (FANTASTIC) features of samsung, like the "stay on" feature and the excellent Samsung Calendar? Major reasons why I would never go back to Cyanogenmod.

NOPE!
after a reboot it is back to square one, the message comes up again.
there has got to be a way to make the system remember that stuff, surely?!
EDIT
not quite square one... it seems files I have opened before using a specific app will continue to work with that app automatically, but if I, for example, open a pdf document in Maildriod and tell it to open with Adobe reader, then click on the same PDF in the GMail app, it will ask me again... so it seems to be based on the app it is coming FROM and not the type of link/file you are clicking on. Pretty daft IMO.

No, Samsung apps are independent of TouchWiz and will work with any launcher.
The only repeating request for default I've experienced is when I left TouchWiz in after I'd added ADW - it came up after each boot to ask which launcher I wanted and then ignored the 'always' bit. After I frozen TouchWiz it's all working as expected, opening each file type responds with the app I've chosen to use with it (from the launcher).
I just tried the exact test you describe, opening a .pdf in two apps. After I'd set the option from each app it remembers the setting - but it just doesn't appear to be a system wide setting, like it would be in Windows.
If it keeps asking the same question from the same app then you may have a problem, otherwise I think it's just the way JB works.

I will check, though my nexus 10 tablet NEVER has a message telling me that I can clear default app settings... so it's not a google thing but a samsung one.
I will see over a week or so if it does remember, though i guess with each rom update I have to enter all the bloody defaults again... one of the down sides of customising rom's frequently.
cheers

Not for me, I cannot get that message to stop, My phone remembered no defaults before root or since. In fact rooting was the biggest waste of time I can think of, its changed nothing
why did you root if you didn't know what you needed it for?

Install apps on phone or tablet from Computer over the web

Hey Guys,
So i brought this up in a forum and it didnt seem like anyone knew what i was talking about and i wanted to make the feature known to all because it is that awesome and apple doesnt do this.
Im talking about if you go to play.google.com, choose "My Android apps" and then you can manage your apps from any computer in the world as long as your phone is connected to some kind of interet. Even if your not it will just pick up your install or uninstall when it hits an internet connection. You can search the playstore and all its glory and choose which device to install the app on if you have more than one device, it will even tell you whether or not its compatible with your device. If you dont know of the feature you should try it because it is a time saver like a mofo.
Yeah I've used this before and love it!
One question for ya though. When you go to install an app, does it actually install for you? Mine I have to open playstore on my phone and go to my apps page where it's waiting to be installed.

Dang it must be a setting I need to change. I waited for an hour one day and nothing. The next time I realized it was instantly waiting on my phone for me to click install.
Thats a lil odd, i have never had to go to my phone and click install they just install for me after i click intall on the website. I would go to the bottom of the Page, click "My orders and settings", click the settings tab, and see if your device is using the newest sync version of itself. Sometimes when flashing OS's on your phone will create a new instance of that phone rather than taking on the last. You may just need to check off your most recent version and uncheck the older one.

I keep trying to send a group text which gets converted to MMS and I get a message stating that it can't send it right now but will send it when service becomes available. I am on wifi but never had this problem with Alliance Rom. Do I need to change a setting? I'm using stock messaging. Could it be that I am using a different kernel other than stock?

I have heard other users report that issue before with 3rd party kernels in the main thread. I have tried the function on the stock rom (granted quite a while ago) and it did work perfectly. I would try flashing the stock kernel and see if the issue persists.
Didn't see there was this [email protected] forum. Awesome. I'm on v8. When I try to view pictures via stock gallery they won't auto rotate. Wondering if I'm missing something. Thanks

Try going to Settings/Language and Input/Voice Search and make sure that everything is enabled. On a side note, if you updated to the latest leaked lollipop version of Google Now or the launcher, Ok Google functionality is broken.

All enabled, I installed The Xposed Framework and Xposed Installer from your bundle, could that have messed it up?
Voice recognition works if I open the Google Search app and press the mic, also "Hi Galaxy" isn't working for Hands Free Mode.
Thanks for the help
I chose Google Launcher from the install menu when I setup the ROM, maybe that did it? I uninstalled it and restarted, still nothing.

Well if you are refering to OK Google command, make sure that you have the search widget on your home screen or you can enable the ok google anywhere option in Google now settings. Xposed by itself and any of the included mods should not really effect anything depending (of course) on what mods that you have installed. If You want t troubleshoot than just uninstall the xposed framework from the xposed settings and reboot. You can always just reenable it with the touch of a button. Of course the last case senerio that I would recommend is doing a full wipe (data, system, cache and dalvik) and doing a fresh install. That should definately fix the issue as long as its not hardware related (your phone itself).

Any other download source than Mega upload?
For some reason my post about the above topic disappeared. Thought this was the Q&A forums but now I'm not so sure.
Was wondering if there was any other way to get this other than downloading an extension that is corrupt and wont tell me where its downloading my files at?
There are NO options to set as for my files to download and I will NOT let it download to C:/ drive just in case it opens a backdoor to allow viruses onto my computer. Call me paranoid all you want too.
Is it being hosted on any other sites that I can control what gets installed and where? Even Pirate Bay allows you to save files wherever you want too. I'm not asking for much. Just dont want my main drive to get whacked by some crap that I have to install just to download files "over 1GB in size you need our extension" . Ummmmm no I don't. Just download the file and allow me to put it where I want to put it. Thats all.
Google Drive or Dropbox account maybe?
Have the v4 and v5 as they were hosted on androidhost or something similar. But then you switched to Mega.nz for some reason. Don't know why. Thanks for anyones help in this problem.
