Database Develop

Non Market Apps Solved

This is a pretty easy process. I went in to Root Explorer - dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings, copied settings.db to my sd card, edited it on my pc with a db editor changed 0 to a 1 next to non market apps. Copied it back to the original directory, rebooted and installed a non market app.
Please use caution. If you want to make sure the db save properly open it on your sd card before you copy and replace the original. It should open up as a readable table. If it opens up in a txt editor its corrupt. This permanently enables non market apps. You can not toggle it on and off.
I will try and post pictures soon.
**If this has helped you please consider a donation.**
Thanks

Does it mean th after this you are able to install any 3rd party application with no restrictions?
Thanks

You can actually do it through firefox too. There's a firefox addon called 'SQLite manager' that you can use to edit the file, if you don't want to download a separate program.

Root Explorer is the pay program on the market? Any free alternitives?

Are you just trying to install non-market apps on the Captivate? If so, then just download the usb driver for the Captivate and then Droid Explorer (may also need SDK installed; not sure). With Droid Explorer, you can easily load non-market apps within seconds. Good solution for a non tech guy like me.

Being brand spanking new to Android, still have question. I like very specific instructions.
Do you download files to whatever directory you want to make and put the files in? Then is there an option to select, and do install? My background is WinMO, so on that you can just use a file explorer and double click or tap, and it installs.

So if I installed "PDAnet" for tethering it will work after rooting?
Thanks for the answer

PDA Net will work without rooting. Just put your phone on airplane mode and enable wifi. Go to the market and download it. Once it is downloaded you can turn off airplane mode and you're good to go.

Where do you see the 0, the one you recommend to change to a 1? I only see lots of squares.

So... Thank you so much for this info. I downloaded your file and put it into the correct DIR and have non market apps installing with no problem. However I can not get Titanium backup to work correctly. =/ When I try to restore an app it says installing and I have to force close titanium to get it to stop. Probably about half the apps I try and do this for install the other backups do not. Is any one else having any issues like this or know how to fix it?

Where did you see the number to change? Mine just looks like a bunch of gibberish

When into this dir dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings and cant find any files. Using linda

I used this DB editor instead
http://sqlitestudio.one.pl/index.rvt
connect to the settings.db file, on the left side click Tables, and then click Secure. It will show a grid on the right with _id, name, value etc. Click the Data tab, in the search box type market. And there should be only one value that shows up as "install_nonmarket_apps". Set the value to one. Refersh it and then copy it back to your phone.

How the heck do you do this? I have Droid Explorer installed but not BusyBox. I have Windows 7 and can't figure out how to get BusyBox on my phone. I have rooted the phone but that's about it. in Droid Explorer when I connect to my phone it shows nothing!

[Q] Rescue me from Titanium Backup

Long time forum fan, first post! I'm a little scared from that registration video, but here we go: After rooting my phone, I did a complete backup with Titanium Backup before deleting all kinds of Verizon and Motorola bloat. Now my Droid 3 is experiencing the hardware keyboard repeating space thing described in many other threads. One of the solutions I read about was to try the new OTA update, but I also read that this requires all the bloatware to be back where it was when I got the phone. So, I went in to Titanium Backup and managed to restore a few of the files, but most of the time, when I try to restore a file, I get the little spiny animation forever. I've tried a couple different Busybox versions, direct access and indirect access. Nothing seems to help. In the future I plan to explore other backup solutions, but for now, I'm stuck with all these backups I can't restore. So, now I guess I need to know a way to manually restore the backed up files. Any ideas?

Try Pete's Root Tools and there is a restore system app option

So that app will use the titanium backups? Happen to have a link for that app?

Its not an app, you connect your D3 to the computer and run the batch script. I cant post links cuz I'm on my phone but i believe Pete posted it in a thread called "unroot" i'll edit my post if i can find it.

Hi there,
How do I execute the tool?
Thanx
Edit- I get a message saying the files must be saved in a /restore/ folder but I can't figure out why my windows XP (32 bit) wont let me use a "/" to create a file??
Am I missing something?
Help??

/ indicates file path. You dont need to type it into the file name. Just place the restore folder inside of the main folder, and extract all the apk's to it.

The directory you run the tool from to restore the system apps should look like this:
Also, if you are on XP, make sure you are using the file for XP (found here: http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/) and not the one for Vista/7 that I linked to in my original post.

Thanks for the reply.
The Win 7/Vista version installed and launches on my XP machine and gives me the restore option pictured in your post.
The XP version you linked me to does not include the restore function (as far as I can tell).
Can I try using the 7/Vista file or will it bork my phone.
Also, will this wipe my phone?
TIA

Please, cant download DROID3_original_system_app.zip anyone has it??

[Q] Thought I understood new file-system structure

Hi guys,
I recently upgraded from 4.1 using TWRP 2.6.3.0
It was my understanding that this latest TWRP supported the newer Android file system. After the upgrade, I can see that my SDCARD has moved to the '0' directory, great.
But, now when I make new backups in TWRP, I can't see them anywhere, but from within recovery. I have searched the whole file system for "2013-12" but see only the last backup before the upgrade.
Any help would be appreciated!

Using Root Explorer, go from root to data/media/0 and scroll down to TWRP. Your new backups should be in place there.

Same vein. Why do I also have a TWRP folder with a backup under Main Storage? Can I delete one folder and gain 3gb back?

Weird, so TWRP actually created a directory here: \data\media\TWRP
In the \data\media\0\TWRP directory, are my old backups.
Should I move the stuff from the later, to the former?
Are there any other steps to take to consolidate data, and make sure there are no duplicate files? My free space seems very low, compared to what it should be.

Check that folder before deleting, it may have backups from a previous ROM setup, such as a 4.2 or 4.1 set up. Don't want to delete stuff you may decide you want later.

It depends on what you are running now(4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4) and whether or not your 'old' backups would have any use for you. For example, I always keep a duplicate of my stock setup (out of the box stock) in that old folder just in case. If you decide to run an out-of the-box stock ROM i.e. 4.1.2, you will access your 'old' TWRP location. If you dump everything there, you'll be unable to access your current backups. Also, if you get yourself into a situation where you have either on purpose or by accident booted recovery to a former version, you won't be able to access your 'new' location. In that case, you'd be stuck sideloading or RUU-ing. Neither option is the end of the world, but to me convenience is everything. So, plan accordingly. If none of this makes any difference to you, and the extra space is important, do whatcha gotta do. :highfive:

Thanks BMP.
I'm on 4.4 at the moment, with the CM11 nightlies. I may go back to a Sense ROM, but probably sticking to 4.3+.
I'm really not a fan of how the built-in storage is handled on these phones. Having windows mount it as a "media device" instead of a proper removable drive, really limits how you can interact with it. I've had all sorts of issues just trying to copy all the "SD card" data to my computer.
Is there any way to get windows to see this space? I'd like to at least be able to back up these new backups.

For me, whichever file structure I'm in for that rom shows up on my 7setup. I ve never had a problem getting at the current one,only the one not in use.

Shoot, still can't figure out how to get these backups dumped to the computer.

V2 (Sep 20 TEST!!!)WARNING
This is a test, I have used it without any issue but I want to make sure others don't have any issues.
Timelapse set to 1920x1080
SlowMo set to 178mbps.

2 Different scenarios
1. You will have a folder named oat and a file named SamsungCamera6.apk under /system/priv-app/SamsungCamera6 in that case backup the entire folder system/priv-app/samsungcamera6 to your sdcard , delete the apk and folder from /system/priv-app/SamsungCamera6, then copy the modified apk over to system/priv-app/Samsungcamera6/ renaming it to SamsungCamera6.apk
2. You will have a file named SamsungCamera6.apk under /system/priv-app/SamsungCamera6 in that case backup the apk to your sdcard , delete the apk from /system/priv-app/SamsungCamera6, then copy the modified apk over to system/priv-app/Samsungcamera6/ renaming it to SamsungCamera6.apk
Download at bottom of this post
(Name scheme is as stated)
D#-This is date swaped around
H#-This is the bitrate of Hyperlapse
S#-This stands for all slowmotion bitrate
After that set the permissions (id recommend checking the original apks permissions before u delete it)
Reboot, (see if the app even shows up), then try recording 4k, it's around 21 minute record time with stock internal storage, with the 256GB sdcard it should be much more

Doenload that link and see if it works. If it doesn't do the following:
1. Delete the samsungcamera folder under priv-app
2. Create a folder named SamsungCamera6 under system/app/
3. Copy that SamsungCamera6.apk i linked in this comment
4. Set permissions
5. Go into applications and clear data under camera
Now with a empty phone and no sdcard u should have around 20 min record time
Let me know if this works because it seems to be working for me (see photo below)

I had this problem the other day after a reboot but clearing dalvik cache (delete everything in the data/dalvik/ folder) brought it back. I think because i signed the apk incorrectly. This will be fixed soon. Only thing so far is to not reboot the phone.

Files not showing on Phone only on computer, trying to restore game data...

I'm fiddling with my new s20 FE, I needed to manually add folders to My Files in 'Android /Data' to transfer data from a game (which I've done before on other devices) However, when connecting S20 to PC I can access all files and copy/paste into place, BUT on my phone none of these files will show up (No Files) and the game is not responding to the data I added.
Also tried through DeX and files don't show. Hidden files is checked and developer mode is on. Any ideas?

You can access the partition with selected file managers, e, g, Total Commander.

Well here is your solution buddy, you updated to 11 yet? I don't know if it's available to 10 since this is new info to me.

You can try Solid Explorer too. It is excellent and you can have access to android data and obb.

From the the site homepage it says it only supports accessing /data partition from android 11, so i think it shoul only work on android 11 as i said.
Have you tried this? It doesn't need root.

sounds like Total Commander have decided to copy LCG's X-plore with the two panel windows.
all decent file browsers have been able to access storage/0/emulated/Android/data the whole time and micro SD equivalent too.
it's only with android 11 that google's new security layer has removed that access for SDcards. their new security has also made the file system 6 times slower in copying or moving files etc. hopefully OEMs will pressure google to fix it.

I believe you misunderstood the topic of the thread. We're discussing the possibility of accessing /data partition without root permission on android 11, even with scoped storage security feature. You can read about it the the link in the 3rd post above.
I never heard about google forbidding access to sdcard from apps, can you elaborate?

I think I understood OK, changes to the file system include no longer accessing Android/Data. that's not the data partition as far as I'm concerned, it's still accessible from internal storage but not from external.
