Let me explain.
I have an Amazon Fire TV Stick running Android 4.2. On that devices forum someone posted a stock 4.2 settings.apk. Upon sideloading you had access to things like bluetooth which otherwise the Fire OS does not allow access to.
I have been searching online for an apk, but to no avail. My thinking is that sideloading a 5.1 settings.apk onto the rooted Lollipop rom would allow access to Developer Options, running apps, more detailed battery stats, etc.
Has anyone tried this?
Could anyone help me find a stock 5.1 settings.apk so I can try it for myself?
Thanks

Hi guys, i've been searching around but cant find what Im looking for. Im unlocked, rooted, and on the CM beta and can't figure out how to sideload. Im trying to sideload the webtop mods for mirroring but I can not install them. I have tried adb install, using root explorer, etc, but it always fails.
can someone point me in the right direction?
Settings => applications => Unknown sources
it was actually just app specific, for some reason i had a couple apps that i guess weren't packaged correctly. All clear.

CM7 has HDMI mirroring out of the box. No need for those patches. In fact, they'd just cause problems since all the mirroring patches I've seen thus far are for Blur roms only.
I am trying to install the latest Samsung Keyboard beta because I believe that it has different theme colors which is awesome, or at least that's how it was on the N9 Port ROM that I tried earlier. When trying to install the APK directly, the installation fails because of security checks. Are there other ways to achieve that? My device is rooted and I believe that I used to be able to do that on my old HTC M8 by going to /data/app and replacing the APK or something like that but I honestly forgot the process.
Any information is appreciated.
Thank you.
Has anyone tried this? I know nothing about modding android, but I was wondering, since VirtualXposed allows you to use Xposed on a non rooted device, would it be possible to run Daydream? Has anyone tried it? I tried to but couldn't figure it out, maybe I need a modded apk which I can't seem to get ahold of as lots of links are dead
I'm trying to upgrade my Samsung p7510 10.1 tablet from Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 to either Marshmallow or Nougat, or better. I've installed TWRP 3.1.1 and rooted with SuperSu. I've had to assume root has worked as can't download root checker onto my tablet.
So, far I've managed to find a version of Marshmallow "ROM-STOCK_MMB29K-seed.zip" on androidfilehost.com. But when I try installing I keep getting error message "Updater process ended with signal: 4". I've wiped the Data, cleared the Cache and Dalvik Cache. Also searched the internet for info on the signal 4 problem but not found much other than to remove the "assert" line from the updater-script file in the OS zip.; that did nothing.
So, a few questions:
- Anyone know where I can get OS zips from for a Samsung P7510?
- And any ideas on resolving the signal 4 issue?
- Any other ideas?
P.S. The only reason I'm updating is I want to use it for Kindle but can only reach HTTP sites, not HTTPS. Assumed that is because it's so old that everything is out of date. And that stops me from downloading anything from just about anywhere, including Google Play.
P.P.S I have searched the forums but couldn't find anything helpful or with links that worked.
Thanks in anticipation
Might I suggest the stabelest ROM I've ever run on my P7510. I've had this installed on mine for over a year now. There are of course some minor bugs.
The signal 4 issue is most likely a Binary issue and should no longer be relevant since you should reset the device to factory and start over. Another thing is once you Root it you can't download from Google play because you now have an unverified device, it has something to do with Google Pay. You'll want to look for APKs. Although SuperSu is usable, you're going to want Majisk insted. I hear of some problems using SuperSu.
I have these files here in my PC if any of the links no longer work but you'll want to know how to flash it so you'll need the video. I'll check back soon and drop a link to my files. if you need them. I'd need to upload them to my Google Drive first.
If you have any other difficulties I'm usually here about once every week.
P.S. Your tab is better than a Kindle and I would not suggest using it as such, it runs pretty crappy that way . Amazon does have an app you can use. And I see that you have been having difficulties finding Operating Systems for your tab and yes it's because the P7510 first hit the market in March of 2011 there aren't many people doing much with it anymore. There's about 3 or 4 of us left.
Firstly, thanks for your help @Casper Young .
In particular the video was brilliant. I did have a few runs at the update, however, the process was very straightforward. The key issue was the TWRP version I was using. It was supposed to be for the P7510, but realised it was actually for the P7500, consequently the aosp files weren't loading. I think that was also the cause of the errors I was getting. And although none of the links were working I managed to get the file names from the video and sourced them from androidfilehost.com:
twrp2870-20150814-p4wifi.tar.md5
aosp-7.1-p4wifi-20170506.zip
Once I had those it was simple and the update worked smoothly.
I've also added the app from apkpure.com as Google play was a complete pain trying to get the tablet recognised. Now very pleased with the build and apps, all running very smooth.
thanks again
Glad you had no problems. There are some minor bugs. Flash doesn't work for the camera. And check your memory capacity. I use Apex Launcher for my home screen which organizes better for me.
I have a TCL Flip 2, flip phone, which runs AOSP Android 11, and blocks APK installation. It has a package installer, but blocks APKs from being installed, and sends an error message through ADB when I try to install like that. There is no option to enable apps from unknown sources, and running settings put (global/secure) install_unknown_apps 1 doesn't do the trick. Anyway, how can I go about rooting the phone?
Android 11
Kernel version 4.14.186
I appreciate your help, thanks!
Maybe you have found it already, but for everyone else you can install apks and root with this guide https://github.com/neutronscott/flip2/wiki
I couldn't find this anywhere on Google, so hopefully this helps!
Also TCL Flip Go and Flip 2 are the same phone but with different carriers.

Yes, I already found it thanks. Also cricket flip classic is the same.
Neutonscott is the dev who did anything and everything to help root the phone. He made a custom magisk boot img with a script running to reset the prop which blocks app installation.
you can find a ton of info about that phone on forums.apps4flip.com. I am also available here if you have any other question about it.
