As the title says i want to know how to install third party apps. With my Galaxy S2 i could install all without root.
Just lock the marker into "Unknown Sources" in the Security Menue. This should do the job...
That was the almost first i did but it doesnt help

Hi,
I just bought the phone and I am still mastering the beast.
I finally managed to install Kies and I downloaded couple of Samsung apps. Everytime I click on Samsung apps, I get a warning saying "This phone is not supported by Samsung apps". I am on JF6 firmware. I was able to download but unable to install as the install options seems to be greyed out. Also, in Samsung apps, under the "Select a phone" option, I get S8500L and S8500 as the two options.
Can someone please help. I have the stock phone as is.
That's because they (stupidly) don't have any Android apps on there yet, they are all Symbian or Windows Mobile.
Amazing! (in a wrong way). Thanks for clarifying. I will download Android apps directly through some other way.
the only way to install samsung apps, is via the samsung app itself inside the phone
don't use kies
then the rest of the apps are in Android market
Damn..i have the same question in my mind. I want to install Samsung Apps on my phone
any news if is it possible to install samsung apps on a galaxy s running ics from teamhacksung??
still no ...
I know there is probably threads on this already, so if you can point me in the right direction that would be nice. I'm trying to root my Dell Streak 5 2.2 Froyo using superoneclick 1.7; Ive downloaded it already, but it gets stuck on waiting for device. For some reason the program is not finding my Dell Streak device, I have debugging on, and Ive tried starting up my phone while it's waiting for device, but it never finds it. Seems like im missing a driver or something, if so where do I get it because its not on dell.com.
find and use z4root, worked for my streak
Ive downloaded it, I have Astro, now how do I allow 3rd party apps to be installed on my Dell Streak? Because its blocking me from downloading it, I do not have the Unknown Sources setting where you can allow third party apps, from what im reading you already have to be rooted?
using android sideload wonder machine, works wonders to side load apps.
You should be able to install 3rd party apps with the 'Unknown sources' option checked even without root.
_EDIT_ Are you saying you dont have the option to allow unknown sources?

Hi friends
at this first, i need to say that my English is not good, cause its not my first or even second language XD
So ... sorry for my bad English.
I bought this phone yesterday (i9190)(4.2.2)
everything is ok, but i have a problem.
i cant download any apps on blackmarth, apptoide or our Official market "Baazar" and I have this limit to Galaxy apps and google play market. For reasons, our country cannot access Google play market, so i only have "Galaxy Apps" market for download apps. and i think you know that Galaxy apps does not contain all apps we need.
Ohh... i forget that to say i rooted phone and freezed (!!?) knox apps and its staffs.
and one other thing... that i can install apps manually from phone's file manager or ES or etc... (I 've been a nexus user, and know that should check "Unknown source" in security settings.)
it says "Failed to download [app]" on notification bar before start download
or throw error: " Parse error There was a problem while parsing the package. " after finishing download.
i think its a security option that Samsung put on his Roms.
now i want to know , is there any way to disable this ..... security option .. and download/install apps freely? (At least from our official market!)
i dont want to flash CM based roms or MIUI.
again, sorry for my bad English.
any idea?

any other advises...?
I've Samsung galaxy note 2. Updated to 4.4.2. Rooted. Response screen of root checker attached for reference.
I'm trying to install the xposed framework. I've downloaded latest apk file. When I try to install the framework on clicking the apk file, the installer starts and shows the informative screen (screens hot attached). However, the install button at the bottom does not click - seems to be disabled. The cancel button cancels the process.
I've enabled unknown sources under security. I've tried with stopping and disabling the anti virus programmes - Avast and AVG.
What should I check? What am I missing?
I've explored the threads with similar subject, but could not find anything that would help. If this question is already answered, please point to appropriate link.
Thanks,
Vikas Garud.
this is weird and should not be as you have attached ss showing that your device is rooted. can you install other APKs? if yes, then this exposed installer maybe not supporting to the android version, try after upgrade, make it 4.4.3.
Can not install any apk
Thanks Niton for the pointer. I checked with few more apk's. And the problem continues. I'm unable to install any apk. System information shows about 470 MB free RAM and 1.47 GB free storage. (I haven't installed KNOX).
What else can/should I check?
Thanks,
Vikas Garud.
PS: I had installed from apk's in the past. I am not sure when this behaviour started.
Vikas Garud.
You better flash a pre rooted stock firmware and why you are still on 442? It's 444 time.
How do I migrate to stock ROM
Thanks Nitol for the suggestion. I'd certainly like to upgrade to 4.4.4 and further, as and when it becomes available. So far, I haven't done that since I use S-Note a lot and quite a lot of data exists under that application. I may be wrong, but I read that S-Note will work with Samsung ROM's. Any suggestions on migration from that app?
Any detailed guide/pointers/links to the process of getting and flashing pre-rooted stock ROM?
Thanks,
Vikas Garud.
Do you have any screen filters activated? If so, it disables your phone from registering the install button on apks so remember to disable your screen filters during installation of apks!
Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA
What is a screen filter?
Thanks Epic_salamence for the pointer. Pardon my ignorance, but what is a screen filter? I haven't installed any "Screen Filter" on purpose. However, any of the installed Apps may be functioning as one. How do I recognise it? Any example of "Screen Filter" would help me in narrowing down the culprit.
Do the screen filters selectively disable the install button? The cancel button adjacent to the install button is
Sorry for the late reply but a screen filter is an application which helps your phone to further decrease screen brightness to optimise battery life and yeah, all screen filter apps disables your phone from registering the "install button' when installing apks. I had that problem too when installing xposed module but luckily my friend notified me about the screen filters. Oh yeah go to Google play store and search "screen filter" and you'll see an app called screen filter you might wanna check it out
It worked - kind of
Thanks Epic_salamence for the pointers. This kind of worked.
I searched through the play store for the screen filters and disabled all the apps installed on my phone. Did not work. So I un-installed them. Did not work.
Then I disabled the "copy bubble" app, even though it was not under "screen filters", but hey, it was on screen. And it worked. The install button was enabled and I could install Xposed framework and some modules.
Next stop, flashing of ROM!
Thanks, once again.
Hahahha glad I could help! Have fun flashing ROMs!
My Note 4 is stock/unrooted. I've checked the install from unknown sources check box and when I try to install a third party app, I get a installation fail message. Does anyone know why? I was able to install the same apk on a TMO S6.
It would help if you gave us the name of this app and where you got it from.
