Blocking Non-Android Market apps?

Hello,
I just wanted to know if there was any way to block non-android apps? I know you can do it from settings, then applications, but you can enable installation of apps by just checking that option. Is there any way I can block them? Thanks, and I want to do this because my brother keeps installing useless games and apps again and again.

I don't think you can any other way.. but one thing you can do is install a app that can hide your android market app or any other app you choose so he cant access the market... I can't quite remember the name of it but its a pretty cool app.. you can also hide pics, movies, and other media on your phone.. wish I could help a little more

[Question] whatsapp can't connect

My whatsapp suddenly can't connect to the internet. I have uninstall and reinstall the app, but the problem still exist.
Does anyone can help me??
Is it related with my custom ROM?

I've never heard about whatsapp + im3 issue on android. But I've heard so many problem about whatsapp + im3 on blackberry. Looks like im3's problems not only affected on bb users, but only on android users. Have you try another carrier anyway?

Just curious, who here installed the app from the PlayStore?
Do we get the copy on original release date or do we get early tracks?

Does anyone know a way that we can extract the downloaded content? Reason I'm asking is because I want to hear it from Poweramp as I have preset EQs in there.

How did you even get it to work? Mine just stays stuck at the opening screen and nothing happens. It used to have a bunch of demos and stuff. Now, nothing.

Would love to know how to extract the tunes as well
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app

This app is another representation on how the man will control you. This app does nothing but harvest your data, sell it to the appropriate entities and not allow you to play how you want. The music industry is trying to pull a quick one on you. Extract the APK if you dont believe me. I personally will stick to other ways to get my music free

We did just get a whole album for free.......right?

Just wait foe the boot screen to finish. It is a poorly-built app.

I see you saying this, but what data does it harvest. What are you seeing in the decompile app that proves this? I don't even have the app in just curious why your making these claims and very broad claims too.

It doesnt even take that level of investigation. It's just common sense
THIS APPLICATION HAS ACCESS TO THE FOLLOWING:
YOUR LOCATION
APPROXIMATE LOCATION (NETWORK-BASED)
Allows the app to get your approximate location. This location is derived by location services using network location sources such as cell towers and Wi-Fi. These location services must be turned on and available to your device for the app to use them. Apps may use this to determine approximately where you are.
PRECISE LOCATION (GPS AND NETWORK-BASED)
Allows the app to get your precise location using the Global Positioning System (GPS) or network location sources such as cell towers and Wi-Fi. These location services must be turned on and available to your device for the app to use them. Apps may use this to determine where you are, and may consume additional battery power.
NETWORK COMMUNICATION
FULL NETWORK ACCESS
Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols. The browser and other applications provide means to send data to the internet, so this permission is not required to send data to the internet.
PHONE CALLS
READ PHONE STATUS AND IDENTITY
Allows the app to access the phone features of the device. This permission allows the app to determine the phone number and device IDs, whether a call is active, and the remote number connected by a call.
STORAGE
MODIFY OR DELETE THE CONTENTS OF YOUR USB STORAGE
Allows the app to write to the USB storage.
YOUR APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
RETRIEVE RUNNING APPS
Allows the app to retrieve information about currently and recently running tasks. This may allow the app to discover information about which applications are used on the device.

Why would an application intended to come to "Samsung Galaxy* fans first " need this much info?

Get “OK Google” on any launcher, on any screen!!!

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/get-ok-google-functionality-on-every-screen-without-root/
found this article and wanted to share with those who don't know about it..This fix was originally found by Redditor xStreame, and it was then expanded upon and reposted by pr01etar1at:
Open Google Now
Search for “OK Google everywhere”
Click any link [may be unnecessary but I did it]
Back out to Google Now
Go to Settings>Voice
Audio History and Anywhere Detection should now be available as settings.
