Installing plenty apps of different sort I noticed that I have no longer option to enable/disable verifying of applications I want to install (below checkbox "unknown sources".
I have System Tuner, DroidWall, Xposed modules, BetterBatteryStats, more ...
I wonder how can I discover which one made verification switching impossible.
I'd prefer not to uninstall one after one.
Any hints ?
=========================
I found reason.
Verifying process was disabled by me in Google Play Store.
Case closed.

Alright folks, I think I have finally managed to solve the battery drain problem after the 4.3 update, thank God!
The bad news is that it cannot be done without your phone being rooted. So root the phone in the following manner: 1) Install "Kingo Android Root" to you PC. It will not root your phone without following the other steps.
2) Install "System App Remover" (the one by Jumobile) from play store. The app will be installed as a different name, as "Uninstall". I tried "All-in-One Toolbox" too but it coudn't find all the files listed below (namely KLMS Agent). So I had to install this one and try again.
2.1) Install "Root Checker Basic" from play store.
3) Go to Menu>Settings>More>App Manager>All and force stop the apps:
com.sec.enterprise.knox.attestation
com.sec.knox.eventsmanager
Security policy updates
KNOX
KNOX -- (Yes we have two of them! One is to install Knox interface other one is the one that is already running without installing the other one.)
Knox Notification Manager
KNOX Store
KLMS Agent
In total we have 8 files (or actually apps) to close. You may have 7 of them if you don't have Security Principle Update.
Some of these will not gonna allow you to force stop, never mind, just close the ones that you can.
4) (Now you have to be quick because somehow these apps restart themselves.) Connect your phone to your PC and run Kingo and click root then follow the instructions on your pc screen. Your note 2 will restart and will be rooted.
5) Disconnect your phone.
6) Run "Root Checker Basic" and click "verify root access" and see if you are rooted now. (You should be rooted.)
7) Install "SuperSU" from play store.
8) Run "uninstall" (which we obtain by installing "System App Remover" (the one by Jumobile)). SuperSU will ask for root permission for uninstall, approve it. Uninstall will provide you a list, choose all the apps listed above and uninstall them. KLMS Agent will not be in the list and you should use the search option of the app. If for any reason you don't see any other app in the list search and uninstall! YOU SHOULD DELETE ALL 8 FILES!
9) Restart your phone.
After you remove all the Knox bloatware and anything else you don't like, install Lucky Patcher.
This is usually used to remove licenses from pirated apps, But it also does something else which we will need to use:
It removes Google ads! And these are that keep our phones awake.
In the faulty 4.3 Samsung update apps with Google Ads always try to connect and sync thus keeping the phone awake.
In Lucky Patcher go into each app individually and choose "Remove Google ads".
Then choose "Patch to remove Google ads" and press "Apply". Rarely will you have 100% success but it doesn't matter.
Then repeat the process and this time press "Disable Ads Activities" and press each activity that is used for advertising (They are usually in orange colour).
One more useful step is to use Greenify to hibernate almost all processes except the ones that need to sync eg Dropbox.
My phone used to have 65-85 % wake time after the update. Now it's only 3% wakelock instead of the 65-85% that was before and the battery only went down to 98% from 100% in 2.5 hours! Battery life is even better than on 4.1.2.
If for some reason after a few days (or even hours) the problem returns, then it could well be an app that causes it, or a combination of apps. In my case it was Automatic Call Recorder by App.liqato (Appstar Solutions). an app that was working fine on 4.1.2 but not on 4.3. It was the last app to be installed, that's why I knew. I uninstalled it and batery life is back to normal after it had gone mad for a couple of hours. Notice that no wakelock app showed it as the culprit. I only knew because after I had done a factory reset I installed all my apps one by one and not from a backup and I forgot this one. I remembered a few days later and when I installed it the drain started.
I installed Eset Mobile Security on my new M9, and the first time it had to install it brought up a dialog screen to select if I wanted to use Mobile Security to scan the files and install, or the Google Package installer. I was in a hurry and accidentally selected Google. Does anyone know any way to reset the selection so I can choose to scan the packages before install? I've already checked the package installer - it has no defaults set.
Any ideas?
I use Universal GMS Doze (a Magisk module) to doze Google Play Services, and it works great so long as all Device Admin apps are disabled. However, Find My Device re-enables itself after a while, and I must periodically check its status in order for Universal GMS Doze to work its magic. Find My Device is the only Device Admin service that re-enables itself. Does anyone know how to permanently disable Find My Device? I want to freeze it in TiBU, but I haven't figured out the name of the background service.

Just a suggestion, instead of the doze module, which I've used as well, maybe try the SysConfig Patch magisk module instead. It does great with keeping play services in check, and "find my phone" stays off :good:
I used Sysconfig Patcher on Oreo, but Pie broke that module for a long time. VR25 rewrote/modified it, and it worked again for me for a while, but it eventually failed completely. So I switched to Universal GMS Doze.
I'll try Sysconfig Patcher again and see what happens.
Yesterday I uninstalled Universal GMS Doze, rebooted, installed Sysconfig Patcher, rebooted twice, disabled Find My Device. I just checked Device Admin apps and discovered Find My Device restarted itself sometime during the night or this morning. So I am back at square one. Does anyone know how to permanently disable Find My Device?
so, i now nothing about linux, i know about android only as much as every other phone user. i used android emulators, one day i though hey, what if you just use android as an os and i found this new dimension, almost.
now, i installed the last bliss os, i had many crashing problems (installing apps from apkpure caused crash, installing from built-in file manager also caused crash) and i figured pretty much all of those problems stem from notification problems. so i go and disabled all notifications, app by app, including system ui notifications. now i can install anything from apkpure, i don't receive any crashing.
another problem was with vertical apps. they didn't show properly, solved that problem with the built in orientation tool.
now, i want to know wth is this microg thing is. i can install any apk from apkpure so i don't need store for that. i am also okay with playing games in guest mode. all i want being able to ignore google login part. (edit: i just installed another game in which you login with plarium registration method which also stopped working when loading bar was showing "connecting to store systems". makes sense, i guess.)
microg thing has a self check and i guess when everything checked it will do exactly that? it will fool apps as if i have google play while i don't? so i need a tutorial about that. what's unchecked for me?
system has signature spoofing support CHECKED
system grants signature spoofing support CHECKED
system spoof signature UNCHECKED
play services gmscore installed CHECKED
play services gmscore has correct signature UNCHECKED
playstore phonesky installed CHECKED
playstore phonesky has correct signature UNCHECKED
(everything else between checked)
last entry called "network based location enabled" UNCHECKED. (it says you either disabled this in system setting which i didn't or the system is not supported)
thanks in advance.
I have a similar problem - I managed to get some of the unchecked checked by clicking on the option itself and sometimes a dialog would come up asking to grant some sort of permission. But I am still stuck with 'System spoofs signature' and 'Play Services (GmsCore) has correct signature' unchecked.
Does this mean the signature spoofing is not happening? If so I'm not sure what else I need to do to get it set up on Bliss OS 11.14.
My company is now enforcing and managing BYOD with AirWatch. I'm trying to enrol my Magisk-rooted Pixel 2 XL. I've searched around XDA and other sites and I was able to enrol the phone when I use Magisk Hide to hide from the AirWatch agent, aka now the Intelligent Hub. It creates a Work profile and installed several work related apps. The only other app aside from Intelligent Hub I've tested so far is Boxer and it works for the few minutes during my test.
When I say Boxer works for a few minutes, that is because next I attempted to open Workspace One. As it loads, I'm guessing it checks other details about the phone, then it would popup a message saying Work apps and profile removing because the device is "compromised" and uninstall the work apps and Word profile.
I would like to use Magisk Hide and hide from Workspace One app, but Magisk Hide doesn't even list that and other apps in the Work profile. An admin at work checked the AirWatch server and it shows the device compromised detection with the status "Malicious file found - Check files in system or exec folder".
So my question is, outside of troubleshooting step by step from wiping phone and setting up each thing from scratch, anyone else have an insight on what else I can check?
FYI, these are the following setup I have on my phone
- Pixel 2 XL
- Rooted with latest version of Magisk and Manager
- Latest Pie 9.0 Aug 2019 Update
- Magisk Modules Installs: Busybox, Viper4Android
- Apps with Root Access: AdAway, BetterBatteryStats, Franco Kernel Manager, Material Terminal, Titanium Backup

The following works but I am not sure if all the steps are crucial and which ones may be superfluous. Those instructions in (parentheses) may be not necessary).
I am not a programmer (Basic on a C-64 doesn't count, I take it), don't know anything about computer architectures etc., just able to follow instructions and wrap my mind around them to tweak my devices.
The main part is to "Hide Magisk Manager" after Boxer is installed (but before it is opened/setup) as that also creates another Magisk app (instance?) with the new name for the work profile where Boxer etc. show up and can be hidden with Magisk Hide.
The other (first) part is to hide anything that would alert and conflict with Hub before or during setting up the work profile - I pretty much hid everything under Magisk Hide...
I don't know BYOD nor Workspace One, so the solution below may not work.
- uninstall Hub (that's the only app remaining after the auto-uninstall, right?)
- if Magisk Manager is already hidden: go to Settings\Restore Magisk Manager "with original package and app names" - that seems to be important, as hiding it later and with another name will then also create a Work Profile where one can see and click and hide the work profile apps such as Boxer (not sure if it works the other way around, i.e. starting off hidden with a different name and then later restoring to original will create a Magisk work profile)
- Magisk Hide: click almost every system app, not just the Google ones, but almost everything, camera, calendar, contacts etc. and your phone maker's versions as well (not sure what is necessary, but only Google system apps didn't seem to do it...), also all root and SU related apps like BusyBox etc. (not sure what Hub looks for)
(- System\Apps > clear storage data for Google Play Store and other Play Apps, also make sure Hub is really uninstalled. If not or having problems at least clear data storage as well)
- reboot (can also go into TWRP and wipe cache/Dalvik, not sure if necessary)
- install Hub, don't open it
- open Magisk, go to Magisk Hide: click Hub
(- close Magisk)
(- reboot)
- open Hub, let setup run its course creating the work profile
- if there are conflicts showing in Hub (and/or on your employer's MDM website for your device), e.g. root certificate not installed, don't install any apps yet such as Boxer etc. and reboot instead
- Are those conflicts resolved after reboot?
- install Boxer and other apps (trough Hub itself, MDM website push (or Google Play)) but don't open/start them
(- reboot)
- open Magisk, go to Settings\Hide Magisk Manager and click on it, pick a name and confirm: this will then change the name of Magisk AND create a another Magisk app (with the new name) for the work profile.
- open that new Magisk work profile and go to Magisk Hide: click Boxer (and other apps controlled by Hub); Hub itself and everything already hidden in the private (= non-work) profile Magisk app should show up here as already hidden. Double and triple check.
(- reboot)
- open Boxer and start set-up
That's it. Stable, even after another reboot.
Did this solution work for you @s0l1dsn8k3?
I am in a similar boat. @s0l1dsn8k3 please let me know if you found an alternate solution.
