[Q] How to allow Unknown sources if.. - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I'm trying a stock-based rom, and I can't open "security" option in settings (I always get fc) in order to activate "Unknown sources". Thus, I can't install last version of GravityBox (and any module). My question is, how can I activate "unkown sources" option without enter in settings? Thanks in advance
PD: I guess "security" option wouldn't give me problems if I install an official Kitkat, but I don't wanna to
Thanks for all

Try to remove Xposed first, sometimes it does strange things.I couldn't open Dev options before cos of it.

Unknown sources setting not changing

Hi,
I am now unable to change the "Unknown Sources" setting, after flashing some roms.
The option gets selected but when re-opening the settings is disabled again.
I tried removing all data possible with TWRP, it doesn't change anything.
It's the only setting not working, but I really need it, to install F-Droid for example.
Any ideas?
Kind regards

allow unknown sources

I'm using a moto g xt1032 with latest cm 13.0 nightly. I would like to allow "unknown sources". I can't access security settings, because I always get the error message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" ( old problem i never got fixed). my workaround used to be to use SQLite Editor to edit settings storage --> settings.db --> global and change the install_non_market_apps value to 1. But on cm13 SQLite doesn't find settings.db . The "adb shell settings put global install_non_market_apps 1" from my pc doesn't work either. Does somebody know another way how to allow unknown sources ? I need it to install xposed installer, so i can't use a xposed module to change the setting. help would be appreciated

Enabling Unknown Sources on Miui 10.2

So this is as basic as it gets. SORRY in advance. I googled and looked on youtube and it seems as if this option is missing in the latest version update. Is anyone else able to see " Enable Unknown Sources" in Miui 10.2? Or am I just blind as a bat?
Thanks for your patience
Here's what I found:
Settings>Manage Apps, now select the app you've downloaded the apk from, scroll down and you should see the option to install from unknown sources and give it the permission.
Does it work?
I too having the same Issue
Am downloaded that app from whatsapp., as U said am enabled install apps from unknown sources within apps>manage apps>whatsapp
And also tried from Google Drive there is no use
On the 9T using MIUI11 you follow these instructions. In short that's
- Settings
- (Search for) Special App Access
- Install Unknown Apps
- Choose your app (I use Solid Explorer, great file manager)

Magisk.apk Install Error - "app not installed"

I just to had to do a fresh install from a Qualcomm dump to 9.0.4. I am running into an issue when attempting to install the Magisk.apk. It attempts to install the apk, however, it quickly errors out with, "app not installed". I have turned off Play Protect. I haven't been able to find the 'Unknown Sources" switch to allow it - thinking that could be it.
Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
Thanks, in advance.
For future reference....I found the answer by enabling unknown sources in Settings > Apps > Special Access > install unknown apps

The error message you encountered, "Turn on Chrome OS Developer Mode to install apps from sources other than the Play Store," suggests that your UMIDIGI BISON Pro smartphone is running on Chrome OS, which is primarily used on Chromebooks. Chrome OS has a security feature that restricts the installation of applications from sources other than the Google Play Store by default.
To resolve this issue and install downloaded APK files on your UMIDIGI BISON Pro, you'll need to enable Developer Mode on your device. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
Go to the "Settings" app on your UMIDIGI BISON Pro smartphone.
Scroll down and tap on "About Phone" or "About Device."
Look for the "Build Number" or "Build Version" option and tap on it repeatedly (usually around seven times) until you see a message indicating that you have enabled Developer Mode.
Now, go back to the main settings menu, and you should see a new option called "Developer Options" or "Developer Settings."
Tap on "Developer Options" to enter the developer settings menu.
In the developer settings, locate the "Developer Mode" or "Enable Developer Mode" toggle switch and turn it on.
You may receive a warning message informing you about the potential risks of enabling Developer Mode. Read it carefully and proceed if you understand the implications.
Once Developer Mode is enabled, you should be able to install APK files from sources other than the Play Store.
