Question How do I allow installing apps from unknown sources? - Samsung Galaxy Tab S8

Before it was so simple, just go to unknown sources and select allow. Now I do not understand how to do it. I have seen a bunch of posts and videos, it's easy. They say go to Biometrics, select install unknown apps, and they say just allow the app. However, when you do this it only shows apps that are already installed. My app is an apk on the device and CAN NOT BE INSTALLED because it's an unknown app. So how in the world can I allow it if it's not installed? Sorry, this has been very aggravating, but thanks for the help!

Spoiler: Lots of screenshots and instructions:
1. In your File Manager of choice (I'm just using the Magisk app for example):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. "Settings"
3. "Install"
4. "Allow from this source" defaults to disabled for any particular file manager (or other apps that have app-install capabilities):
5. Toggle "Allow from this source" to enabled:
6. "Install":
7. Installing...
8. App installed.

(I'm aware the last several screenshots aren't displaying - at least for me, in the submitted post. They display fine for me when I Edit the post. I originally had these screenshots in the post before this one, and I thought splitting them off might fix the screenshot issue, but it didn't.)
If you want to double-check what apps are or aren't allowed to install other apps:
Spoiler: A handful more screenshots and instructions
A. Android Settings:
B. Type "unknown" in the search field at the top:
C. Click the "Install unknown apps" search result, and then click on the flashing "Install unknown apps":
D. Scroll as you please:
E: For example "X-plore":
F. This toggle again:

Secret Display Mode (Less Saturated and not Yellowish)

UPDATE: there is an alternative app that let you change the color mode, but you need root.
If you're interested, this is the xda thread, and the dev is @emandt. This is the only way I've found of having a not saturated color mode if you don't have a touchwiz rom, like Cyanogenmod.
works for me on G920f rom Touchwiz

Manual download - Version 1.1.6
Download link: http://www.emandt.net/Android/ColorModeChanger/Testing/ColorModeChanger_1106.apk
Version 1.1.6:
- Fixed Interface issues on Tablets
- Fixed FC on UI opening on Tablets
Limitations ONLY during BETA period:
1) Each time you launch the App it checks for License. If internet connection is not available, the App will not run.
2) For cause n.1 the option "Start at boot" will not work because internet connection is not ready during boot (but it will work when released outside the Beta period)
3) Only MANUAL update available
4) If you have more than one Google Account registered on your device, please contact me because I have to manually add the others to the Licensed list.
- Install on External SDCard is not supported
- Only English Language available
Instructions and development choises:
To avoid creating a permanent running Background Service/Process AND a separated Interface (for changing Settings) I preferred to use an "all-in-one" App which requires this steps:
- first launch the App doesn't show anything (it just set the default/last_saved configuration)
- if launched AGAIN within 30 seconds it will open Settings Interface
- next launches follow the same behaviour as before
This behaviour is intended to work with "Start at boot" options to avoid Interface launching after a Boot is completed.
PS: Open the Interface (the second launch within 30 secs from the first one) may take few seconds while reading informations of your screen.
Instructions for download and activate it:
1) Visit this link and accept to be a Beta Tester: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.emandt.colormodechanger (this link will allows your Google Account to get a valid License)
2) PLEASE DON'T DOWNLOAD the App from Play Store because a payment is required even if in Beta (Google is crazy charging Testers for this), but manually download it with the link above
Please report bugs providing Device Name and Android Version or I cannot help you so much.

[Solved] MicroG, Pie and safetynet

Hello!
Has anyone successfully passed safety.net with a pie rom (havocOS?) and microg?
I cannot get it to work. I'm using systemizer to put droidguard (nanodroid latest versions) as a system app and basically get everything to work properly (got the checklist of microg all checked) But safety.net is not passing. ANy clue?
I tried every props editor possible, and I'm using the latest magic module by @Nebrassy to change the fingerprint.
[ro.build.fingerprint]: [xiaomi/jasmine/jasmine_sprout:9/PKQ1.180904.001/V10.0.4.0.PDIMIXM:user/release-keys]
Thanks!
EDIT: and as I was starting to lose faith, I found this: https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_RemoteDroidGuard/pull/19#issuecomment-449368819
And it worked!
So to sum it up:
0. Make sure your os support signature spoofing (on HavocOS: Settings > havocOS settings > system > enable signature spoofing)
1. Install magisk v.18.x
2. install SafetyNet Fix for Jasmine magisk module
3. install Magisk systemizer module
5. install nanolx's Nanodroid GmsCore, DroidGuard and modified playstore from f-droid
6. run a terminal, type `su`, approve the root request, and execute `systemize`. Select the first options, and select the three apps you installed above
7. reboot
8. after reboot open microG settings and make sure the checklist is all checked (if not, do the appropriate changes (allow missing permissions, install location backends... etc)
9. open magisk, check for safetynet
10. enjoy

Check with Magisk, are you passing basic integrity?

Yes, look at my screenshot
I was able to log-in with Snapchat for example, which was not possible before!

Issue trying to upgrade Magisk to latest version. Help!

Hi all,
I was trying to update my Magisk and appear to have got stuck.
"App" shows Installed v23 but still has the Install button
"Magisk" shows Installed N/A (see screens below)
All has been working fine till I decided to update.
Its a Samsung Galaxy S10 and the Magisk version was probably 2 years behind the latest version
When I select to Install the Magisk version, it goes to "Select and Patch a file". Was it supposed to automatically download a file as the only file I see in my 'Downloads' folder is 'Magisk -23.0 (23000).apk'??
Not sure what to do next as it was working fine prior to trying to upgrade and I don't want to brick my phone.
Any assistance would be appreciated

Anyone able to assist ?
Feel annoyed at what I thought was a straight forward update like every other app on Android
That's just a change in the UI; even when the latest version is installed, it still has the 'install' button. My screen looks the same and I'm up to date.
@david336 I would start by checking that you don't have two Magisk apps installed, one hidden and one not. If you do, uninstall the hidden one and try again. If it still doesn't work, uninstall the regular app as well and then reinstall.

I checked both the Home link on the top left and Settings icon on the top right and there is no 'Hide' option present anymore.
What do you suggest I should do as the next step ?
Should I try to update Magisk as below ?
- If so, what is the file I should use as selecting "Select and Patch a File" takes me to my phones internal storage but I am unsure of what file it needs ?

No, it's quite natural that the app you've provided a screenshot for doesn't have the Hide option, since it reports that you're not rooted.
What I meant was that you should check your app drawer if you have a hidden Magisk app (could be named "Manager", "Settings" or if you gave it a custom name it would have that) installed as well as the regular app you've screenshoted. If you do, follow my advice on my previous post.
Hi Didgeridoohan,
I checked and there are no hidden Magisk version (or other named version)
What do you suggest I should do as the next step ?
Cheers
I have checked my root and the root checker says its rooted
Is anyone able to help with a failed Magisk Update ?

Hotel app Marriott detects Magisk and root

Please see discussion already at
https://www.reddit.com/r/Magisk/comments/yf8gyu
Security message when running an app
Hello I installed the Marriott app this morning, and when I go to run it, i get that security message along the bottom third of the screen, and the app shuts down. What is causing that?
forum.xda-developers.com
Calling on the broader community to look at this, as I only start to have this today. I have also tried HuskyDG's Magisk Delta which is said to have brought back MagiskHide, but I failed. Thanks

Thanks. It does seem to work, except I didn't perform these following steps mentioned. Maybe they are not applicable to the latest 3.1.1 version on GitHub instead of play store? Also don't think I truly understand how to use template. Finally, there is a popup to ask me to uninstall Magisk? Probably not a good idea.
Under the Preference head, tap on Select hide methods -> Check API requests, Intent queries, ID detections -> Tap OK
Under the Template config head, tap on 0 additional apps invisible -> Check Magisk, LSPosed and HMA

It worked several times but has since been busted. Maybe I didn't set it up correctly?
I heard Magisk Delta by HuskyDG could hide it from detection. Has anyone been brave enough to try? Well, I tried and it didn't work. I tried the whitelist mode by leaving Marriott out of the SuList and many other banking apps too. But it still detects root. Marriott app version 10.13.1. Older version say 10.12.0 and below should survive.
marriott’s new version 10.15.0 appears to have fixed the over-detection issue. Shamiko is now 0.7.1. not sure if relevant
