Hi,
I am unable to install unknown sources apk. My settings are already enabled for unknown sources in the security section. May I know how I can resolve this? It is the same for all apks that I have downloaded. I am not rooted.
Thanks

Ok I subsequently found the problem. It's due a software screen filter that I have on. Once I disabled it everything works fine. Weird but it works

Hahah, I know exactly what you're talking about. I had the same issue on my Galaxy Note. I noticed that it wouldn't install unknown APK every time I lay in bed at night, until I switched off the filter and then it worked.
Just imagine how many people have had or are having issues with this right now

I can select the file but when u press the "install" button, NOTHING happens. The "cancel" button works fine.
I have my phone to install files from unknown sources. Tried with both usb debugging on and off to.
What gives? Any suggestions welcome.

Wipe both your caches and see if that makes a difference.

Maybe you were using "Screen Filter" while installing an app.
sometimes apk gets corrupted. try downloading the apk again

You fixed it!
WTF?!
I turned "screen filter" off and they all worked!
Why does that affect anything? That is very strange! Should I have known that? I assumed it didn't do ANYTHING except dim my screen!
Out of curiosity, why does it affect the installation of apps, and DOES IT AFFECT ANYTHING ELSE I/WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF? ?
Thanks to everyone that responded!

I use screen filter too. I'm not too sure why it does that but it does not affect the installation of apps.

Yeah, that is the weirdest thing! I might have never figured that out if u hadn't told me!
(I also had trouble installing Swype Beta, which I posted for help about a few months back, and I assume this was the same problem I was having but never figured out. I tried it so many times I guess I finally had Screen Filter off when it finally worked)

Compiling isn't for everyone, I would just use the official rom if you are having issues compiling it from source.

Yea it is, if you did it right, you wouldn't be having issues. I have no idea what you did to build your rom. You have posted no details. Some people shouldn't be doing this, either, go into more details about your setup, or deal with that fact that its broken. You could remove your "tweaks" maybe that will fix it for you.

Well, it just sounds like you need to do some more work on your kang before release. No those issues are not normal for cm7.
solved, colosal mistake made by me, id used and old/experimental build.prop , this was the source of all problems.
I tried using Lookout missing device this weekend to see if it works and it will only find my phone if the screen is on (not in deep sleep). Is there a fix for this? I also tried where's my droid and plan b and got the same results.

did you remember to give the app administrators privilege?
settings > device administrators click the check box
No, I completely forgot about it. Thanks
Still can't get it to work, maybe a build prop edit?
I've been using Androidlost. Seems to work well.
I'll look into that, thanks
I was in my notification bar and saw that something called "SPDC client" installed. I clicked on it before I could screen shot (stupidly) and it led to nothing. Checked settings for downloaded, running, and all apps and couldn't find anything like that. Sounds super sketchy and I'm a bit freaked out. I don't download apps from stupid places, careful with my phone. Has anyone else had anything similar happen?

I'm a little less concerned, Samsung security policy update is listed as SPD in app settings, but I would sure love for someone to confirm samsung just pushed something out.

I received this a few minutes ago. When I tapped on it the Samsung app store opened. I agree this looks shady. I wasn't using my phone when it happened though so it could not have been manually triggered.

I just got the same thing. I am very curious as to what this is. Looking for anyone with more information. Searching Google just yielded this thread and this is as far as I've gotten.

I'm using Galasy Note 3 on AT&T.
SPDC Client installed
Hi All,
A few days ago SPDC Client installed automatically on my SAMSUNG Galaxy Note 3.?
Best regards,
Tom
I got this, too. So I'm going back to Xposed's module "xprivacy". NOTHING installs without my explicit permission.
Just had this install on my t mobile note 3.
Hi,
Hopefully I am writing in the correct place about my issue.
I have the Xperia Z2, rooted, bootloader unlocked, CWM recovery.
I flashed the Unofficial PAC ROM by "rcstar6696" and it works fine with tons of features, my problem is that the phone would not lock securely.
I tried to use PIN, Pattern, Gesture locks and they all do not function, the phone will still unlock with slide.
I tried to reset the phone, same thing. I looked all over the forums and could not find anything about this with Z2.
My friend owns a Nexus 5 and I rooted and flashed PAC ROM onto his phone and the Pattern lock works like a charm.
Is anyone facing the same issue? Any suggestions anyone?
Thanks.
EDIT: I have flashed the latest version from 20th of September cleanly and still facing the same issue.
EDIT: after a few resets and wipes, I noticed that when installing/uninstalling apps. The lock chosen works for a limited time (Usually 6 hours) and then stops randomly.
I am still trying to identify if it's an app causing this.
EDIT: ISSUE SOLVED !!
I reset the device one more time with a clean boot, then while setting it up, I did not connect to my google account. I skipped most of the steps, then set the lock screen, rebooted, added my google account manually.
and VOILA ! phone securely locked.
I do not know how my google account caused this, but it seems to be the reason at the moment.
The port for Z2 may have some bugs so post your problem in the rom thread and the devloper may reply and explain

Yes I understand that, and I tried posting it there, apparently I need to have at least 10 posts to post on a developing thread.

I've been using pac rom since its release, I have no issue setting any lockscreen security. Pattern, pin etc all work for me, it has to be either a setting or xposed module causing the issue

Xposed would cause it, or any mods or tweeaks because pac is framework sensitive which means even simple mods can cause huge issues

Yes of course, but I just flashed it cleanly and no apps whatsoever (except GApps & Stock) , and still the issue is the same.
I even did not change any of the ROM built-in settings and still, no secure locking.
Oh and trust me, PAC ROM is amazing (if it wasn't for this issue) , made me hate every minute I spent in CM and TouchWiz (on my old S4) :good:
Did you do a complete wipe? I wiped all partitions including media before installing pac.
And yes pac is excellent and perfectly stable, only issues I have is nav bar dpi seems to reset after every reboot, but if I toggle say screen timeout via quick settings it changed to what it should be and active display reboots my phone but I don't use it anyway

I'm not sure how to do that, however, I managed to solve it.
And I am facing the same with nav bar and the PACperformance app, it just doesn't stick after reboot.
EDIT: actually, I just tried a few reboots, the nav bar seems to be fine to me, I did however change the icons via "Android L Navigation Bar" found in the xposed downloads. Maybe that caused it to "stick"?
as for the active display, I would like to use it, but I am a pixel maniac, and that feature isn't FHD yet I guess, so I am not using it either for the moment.
