After the Oreo update my settings menus changed. I can no longer find the "allow 3rd party apps" setting. I'm on Verizon. Can anyone lead me to it? I added LG Smartworld, which wasn't originally installed on my phone, and now I can't update it. Thanks
You mean installing apps from unknown sources? If so, settings > general > apps and notifications > special access > install unknown apps.
You grant permission on a per app basis e.g. I granted access to Chrome and Solid Explorer so those two apps can install apks.

"Allow 3rd party apps" question threw me. It's always been called allow apps from "unknown sources"'(apps from other than Google Play store) on all the Androids I've had.
Unless Verizon wanted to be different and had their own phrasing...

So I have had my phone for a few days now and love it, no regrets at all. However, access to the market is horrible. I have limited access in a good 4G reception area. My web browsing is fast, I get over 10 megs on my speed test, but it's like pulling teeth to download from the market. I went back to Verizon and they pulled the battery and replaced the 4G card. The problem continued. They called their tech support people and they were told the problem was with the market itself; that the market wasn't updated for the Rezound yet and until it was there would be market related connectivity issues. Has any one else experienced this and are there any suggestions on how to fix the problem if its just isolated to me. Thanks.
I never knew the market had to be updated to include new devices... Anyway, the market will be updated in the next day or two to add the music download feature. I would assume the Rezound would get market support then.
change the dns server, google it.
Thanks for the info on the DNS server, but the l found said root was required to do it for the mobile data settings. Do you know of a way around the root issue and DNS settings?
Sorry didn't realize you needed root.
I was having issues with market. Here's what I did to fix.
Open app drawer > tap menu button > click remove app > click all > find market and click > click clear cache and clear data... Should be good to go

I wrote an app that accesses the hidden settings. I can add more of the hidden settings as we discover them.
Update via the market
Update 3/9/12
Updated UI
Added the ability to unblock OTA
Added CyanoBoot Configuration options
Credit to fattire
See thread for more information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522226
Update 2/15/12:
Added "OTA Block" to the version number
Update 2/8/12:
Added OTA Block
Added Version Number
Added Root test. This will prevent it from crashing if /system/bin/su does not exist.
Update 1/27/12:
Updated Link
Update 1/14/12:
Configured busybox to make symbolic links instead of copies
Uninstall previous version before install this version
Update 1/11/12:
Added AdamOutler's BHT
Added ability to run the adb daemon as root and automatically turn off auto mount with one click. This does not require a reboot. If you reboot, everything goes back to their normal state. I will add an option to restore everything without a reboot in the near future. I am using the adb daemon from Indirect's ADB hijack that he got from Nemith. Credit to Indirect and Nemith.
Update 1/10/12:
Fix an issue for users without busybox. This should now work even if you do not have busybox installed.
Update 12/30/2011:
Fix for 1.4.1; it will allow you to install from unknown sources. (You must be rooted to use this feature. The nook might take a minute or two before realizing that the setting has changed. If you reboot, it speeds up the process.)

Hello all! My fiance picked one of these up as a gift for Christmas, I have a quick Q. I was able to get the APP installed, but to access the app, I have to reinstall it every time, it doesn't show up in the files list?
Are there any hints suggestions?
Also I checked off the Allow 3rd party apps, and it still won't allow me to read APK files from the default file explorer...
Thanks in advance!

The standard Nook Apps manager will not display third party or sideloaded apps/games. You'll need an alternate Apps manager for that, eg Go Launcher.
There is an older version of Nook Color Apps Manager (pre 1.2) in the marketplace that you could install. This will display all the third party apps on your Nook homepage.
The Allow Thirs Party apps is ticked by default. Just need to untick and retick it to enable it properly.

Just the Android Market.
However, this app does the job I need.
It used to be the market would separate apps that were approved for auto update from those that had disabled auto update set. One could then simply hit the Update All (for the group) button and it would update ONLY the apps that were auto update enabled. Over the past few months Play Store has changed their behavior in that it no longer separates the apps and will only enable auto updates for everything or nothing.
How can I hide or otherwise prevent these few apps that I do not want to update from being in the play store update list? As it is now, I have to selectively update each individual app from the list, skipping the few apps I do not want updated.
Thanks,
Currently on a Samsung GS3, rooted, stock.

did you ever find a solution to this ?
Actually yes,... I think. I'd suggest making backups of your apps (TitaniumBU or other).
Open Play Store
Menu: Settings
Enable Auto Updates (Mine is set to when on WIFI only)
Go back to main Play store page.
Menu: My Apps
Under Installed, locate any app that you wish to change and select it, this opens the App Details page.
Menu: Auto-update untick the checkbox.
Still trying to confirm this condition: Seems that if you manually update an app that is not set to auto-update, it will possibly reset the auto-update flag to 'Enabled'

Hi!
Sorry to bump this old thread, but I am kind of fighting with a similar issue, my problem is,
the apps I don't want to auto update are google apps(Keep/Youtube/Gtalk), which are replaced
by black counterparts from Team Blackout(with exception of Gtalk, I just don't like Hangouts)
and of course there is no "disable auto update" option with google system apps.
As of this date, I can see no valid option for selectively update the installed app catalogue, this
might be a decision from Google's part to push out the obsolete apps by force, which is understandable,
but I think there should be an option to have this feature.
Now at this point I am updating the apps manually app by app, and of course
with about 200 plus apps installed a complete PITA.
Thanks for any answers at this point, and this is my first post here btw, please be kind.

I found this thread looking for a way to selectively disable auto-update. I found that by going to the Play Store on my phone (under settings, I already had auto update on wifi only enabled), selecting apps/my apps, then choosing a specific app, then touching the soft menu key brings up a checkbox for auto -update. Uncheck to disable auto-update. This works for Google apps too like Hangouts, GMail (2 apps that I checked), etc.

Up until a day or two ago, I found the same thing - I could hit the soft menu button in the Play Store, and there would be an option to check or uncheck Auto-Update for that specific App. But I just checked again, wanting to take advantage of that, and it didn't come up any more.
Can anybody confirm that this functionality is gone again?
I'm on Verizon, with a Stock 4.2.2 Galaxy Note 3, non-rooted.
Thanks.
ETA: I rebooted my phone, and the ability to check/uncheck auto-update with the soft menu is back. Strange, but at least it's there again.
Disable updates for specific app - COMPLETLY
Hello,
I found this thread - title says it all.
I have Google Maps 7.5.0 installed, therefore it's listed in "Updates" all the time.
I do not have automatic updates activated, but i like to use the "update all" button in the play store.
Is there a way to disable the listing of Google Maps in "Updates"?
Thanks!

I don't think you can disable that display in Google Play. It knows what apps you have and will let you know when there is an update for them, whether you want to know or not! The main thing is that you can generally decide whether you want the update or not. I prefer it that way. It gives me a choice.

Yes, I like that it's reminding me of updates.
But the new version of the app is not working for me and if I hit the updated-all button on accident, I have to reverse the app again. Happens too often. Would be awesome to have a checkbox á la "Don't display updates for this app"

I think I have found the simple answer:
1. In Google Play Store settings enable all applications to update automatically on wi-fi.
2. Next, individually click each of the apps you do not want to update automatically. On each app's update page, there is a menu button on the top right corner. Click it and deselect auto update for that app.
Now all these disabled apps will not auto update along with the other generally permitted apps.
Cheers.

Hi Everyone.
I just purchased a Verizon LG V30 VS996 and I have been installing all of my apps and setting up phone.
Last night I removed a bunch of apps using ADB that I thought were not needed (im sure most were not), but I realized this morning I have no contacts in Google Contacts. I deleted the built in contacts app last night. I cant add any contacts, when I try to it says No App was found to handle this function.
Does anyone have the Stock contacts or dialer apk from LG so I can reinstall it and have access to all my contacts again.
I prefer not to factory reset and set everything up from scratch again.
Thanks,
Ben

So what have I accidentally uninstalled through ADB that may have caused my contacts to disappear and not be able to add any new contacts in ?

No idea. You shouldn't delete things without knowing what they are. Contacts app is exactly that. A contacts app, plus dialer. Contacts aren't stored in any dialer.
Did you delete Contacts Storage? Any sync or cloud service apps? Any Google services?
Try a factory reset.

I believe I deleted something called cloud, but the icon was red leading me to believe it was Verizon bloat and not something necessary. Didn't delete anything Google and don't think any thing with the sync related.
If you had disabled it with package disabler, you could simply re-enable it. Deleting with ADB doesn't really accomplish anything. It doesn't give you more space to use. You only have access to the user partition to install/store data. Those apps removed via ADB are in the system partition.
So, disabling with package disabler or using ADB has the same effect for a non-rooted user -- EXCEPT when you need to add something back you messed up your phone by deleting... in that case, simply disabled wins every time as it's an easy fix.
I haven't disabled anything on my V30+ and my phone runs fast. But then I have the open market LG US998, which has no carrier bloatware.

It's a package disable. It disables packages (ie apps). Have you never went into the settings and disabled an app before? Because that's what it does.

What @partylikeaninjastar said. The "package disabler" (app disabler) disables apps. The difference is it lets you also disable SYSTEM APPS which non-rooted users can't easily do. Carriers like Verizon often make their bloatware be "system" apps so they can't easily be disabled like user apps.
But the danger is there are essential or at least quite useful apps you should not disable. And they are NOT classified as "essential" or "useful". They are just all there. LGSetup Wizard controls Always on Display. It's not just for "setup". Stuff like that.
