How to re-activate Find My Mobile? - Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi pals,
Is there an easy way to force ON Find My Mobile and Re-Activation Blocking options inside Security Menu like a patch (zip to flash from TWRP) or the modification/deletion of some files?
I'm using [ROM] [10/05][Multi-CSC][SM-N915F/FY/G]Micky387_Android_5.1.1_V1.1 (first v.1.0 and now v.1.1) and I'm not able to enable Find My Mobile function inside Security options because Remote Controls trigger is being de-activated by itself (I do login in my Samsung account and thick Google Location Services but when I return to main Security menu Remote Controls remains de-activated)
The same or similar with other option in this Security menu of general settings: Re-activation blocking (I tick in the box an do login in my Samsung account correctly but the box remain unticked at the end).
I suspect my problem started after trying a Xposed module/option but I can't find/remember where and how
BTOH... Is there a way to upgrade (android version) from 5.0.1 BOD3 to 5.1.1 COH2 without having to flash the official release loosing all your data?
I've checked than the inverse way (downgrade from 5.1.1 to 5.0.1) is so easy as restore in TWRP an old nand backup
Kind regards
PD: I've copyied this post here (general Q&A) because maybe it is not a custom ROM related problem.

To find your mobile use Cerberus...it's N1
You can do everything and it's possible to register 3 phone's.

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.

[Completed] S5 - Random apps/modules stop working

Hi,
Some of my system applications like the fingerprint scanner randomly stops working and there's no security to unlock my phone and at the same time xposed modules like Enable Notification Ticker on Lollipop also stops working. I'm not sure what the problem is but when i'm at home and not using the phone much it's okay but when i'm out and about using multiple app the above seems to happen.
Model number SM-6900F
Andriod version 5.0
Baseband version: 6900IDDU1BOA1
Kernel: ktoonsez
Custom rom: XtreStoLite v2.2
I also use root/modules apps like greenify, KTweaker, Xposed Installer, Tasker, Titanium Backup, Boot Manager, Smart Network, AutoInstaller, Enable Notification Ticker on Lollipop.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I see you've posted here also, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61549467#post61549467 Your device's specific forum is the best place to ask. My suggestion would to flash the stock firmware and see if your having the same problems. Don't load too many apps. That'll rule out a hardware issue. You're running a lot of custom stuff on your device and there may be conflicts between some of it causing the problems.

[Completed] Unsecure lockscreen: This profile option is disabled by a device administrator policy

Hi,
on my Galaxy S5 (klte) I am using Fusion rom (Androi 5.1.1). From the start (after a clean flash and installing gapps) I can not change the lockscreen to "unsecure". In Settings>System profiles>[choose the settings of any profile] I am greeted with the stated error message.
I tried:
-Removing all the administrators from Settings>Security>Device Administrators
-Switched all the credentials in Settings>Security>Trusted Credentials to off.
The phone is not encrypted and I do not have any Exchange Mail Accounts set up (just two google accounts).
Does anyone know what I can do to get rid of this annoying policy?
Thanks, Kiesel

[Android System][Device Locked] Device Management has restricted certain features

I was installed some s8 random apps (downloaded from appmirror) by the following tricks from this forum.

1. Add a shortcut of the apk to the home screen from the my files app
2.Power off the phone.
3. Cleared the cache partition.
4. Restarted the phone.
5. Quickly installed the Apk by accessing the shortcut from home screen.
(Now it's installed )
6. But the launcher keeps force stopping.
So I cleared touchwiz home's data and cache from app manager.
7. Now it's working fine.
I also installed Bixby app through the same process.
Hope this solution works for all those who face the conflicting signature problem.

For some reason i was reset(hard) my phone (by wiping data + cash partition). After successfully reset when device is turned on i found an unexpected error like below:
Device Locked
Device Management has restricted certain features on your device.
Please contact the administrator to re-install Device Management to recover your restriction.
Now I can't access CAMERA(security policy restricted camera), SD-Card not found(showing not inserted), Bluetooth is also disabled. USB-debug is also disabled although DEVELOPER OPTIONS is enabled. Screen-shoot is also disabled. I have flashed my mobile multiple times after that occurrence with proper updated files(AP,BL,CP,CSC,pit). But my problem is still remain. I really don't know what to do. Plz help me out. Thanks in advanced.
N.B: I have also used a fresh gmail account but problem still remain. I have a backup EFS folder but i can't root my phone as usb-debug is disabled. I was tried multiple times to root my phone by CF-Auto root for sm-g930k but it stuck on KT logo and as a result i have flashed it again and again. :crying:
Sorry for my bad english.

You don't need root to update system apps, just toggle secure startup, reboot and install them
ok it seems real bug....i do master factory reset without restoring any data and problem still exist. so this is the real bug of this version.
what can i do now? im not root

how??
The issue is present only on BTU/XEU CSC (G930FXXU1DQJ3) ( Did not try others)
Tried PHN (G930FXXU1DQJ1) and ROM (G930FXXU1DQJ3). They are fine.
There is different Samsung Messages version 4.1.31 ( BTU/ROM ) vs Samsung Messages version 4.1.28 ( PHN ). So it should be related to something within CSC not within app version.
I fixed it by installing Samsung Messages 4.2.03.12 Latest version targeting Android 7.0. Newer versions will most likely create more problems.
You can also use Android Messages

Hello,
I'm having trouble installing APK's from APKMIRROR. In various applications of Samsung e.g. Gallery, Browser, TochWiz, Bixby, Calendar, Clock .... I always get the error message "Application not installed. Package is in conflict with another package with the same name".
I do not have root.
What is noticeable is that after an update from Android (also the monthly security patches) or at a factory reset I am able to install all system apps without problems (also the ones mentioned above) or to run an update. But if I restart the phone, it will not be possible to update system apps anymore. It is always the o.g. Error message displayed.
Can someone tell me why this is so or what I can do, so that the update always works?
Resetting the app (uninstall the updates / empty cache, etc.) brings nothing here.
Where is the problem?
Thanks for your help.
Toggle secure startup to on and then reboot your phone. Install the application.
Settings - Lock screen and security - secure startup. Check require password...
If it is already checked, uncheck it and reboot.
Sometimes you also need an wipe cache from recovery. After you install your app you can toggle secure startup to original state and reboot ?

Thanks for suggestion and link for samsung messages, it worked! The messages problem happened to me as well, on S7 edge dual sim G935FD, and italian update G935XXU1DRA2. Trying to understand what was happening I realised that the application did not crash with sms coming from a program (like those for adverts) but it crashed only for sms coming from a phone number either in the contacts or not.
thanks Marina
