Unknown sources setting not changing - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

App Ops settings after 4.4.2 update?

I used App Ops (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colortiger.appopsinstaller&hl=en) with 4.3 and disabled a lot settings and I'm wondering did these settings automatically restored with 4.4.2 update or not?
And as 4.4.2 disabled App Ops using, and phone isn't rooted, I can't also check the current settings. Is there some way or I must do factory reset or root (which also does factory reset, when unlocking the bootloader)?
However I have doubts, that something isn't OK, for example, when I open WiFi, there are only saved network, scan doesn't find any networks (but I can add and connect manually), when using WiFi Analyzer, I can see a lot networks, but when I select some and choose to connect, I always get failed.

means whatever you disabled in your apps op is still disabled. and you cannot detect other wifi around because you disabled GPS for your settings app in apps op

How to reset App Ops settings? Factory reset? Root + App Ops? Or?
Edit: Seems "Settings > Apps and hit the overflow icon for the menu. There's the option to reset all app settings. This resets the permission restrictions, too."
If you want appops on KitKat again you need unlocked bootloader, root, xposed framework and appopsxppsed module.
And yes unlocking bl will factory reset your Moto G.

[Q] How to allow Unknown sources if..

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.

Sorry for my english thanks for advance
Without knowing what device you have and based on the info you gave here's my advice.
Try other root file managers to replace the nodded settings apk with the original and fix permissions, then reboot.
If you have tried all root file managers with no luck you may need to flash a custom recovery like twrp and use the built in file manager to do this, then use the fix permission option in twrp
One thing that was brought to my attention was whether you properly compiled the apk. Here's the link to the apk tool with instructions on how to properly use it.

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

Changing Default Messaging App

Is this possible? When I change the default message app, it simply reverts back to the built-in one.
I have an RMX2071.
As a side-question, do the current rooting options only apply to the RMX2076? When I try to install the DeepTesting X50.apk, I get an error that there is a signature conflict.
Thanks for any help!
