Is that true that iPhone 5s is a copy of android 4.2.2?
I think if I put package installer in it it will be able to install .apk files.
What? No.

You mean that the apps of android can be installed on iPhone with different way?

No I mean there is no way to run an IOS/Android app on the other system efficiently. You would need to emulate the whole thing which would be hell on our phones

Both can't be found and installed from the Market.
And I don't know if it's just me or for everyone else?
My 2.3.2 NS should be compatible right? Because:
Chrome to Phone requires 2.2 or up.
Street View requires 1.6 or up.
I live in the Philippines and Market payments isn't available here. (I don't see the connection if this is the problem.)
Had those apps for a long time. No problems, try a market fix or using 2.3.1 fingerprints.

You have to edit your build.prop
They should be available in the market if you are on a stock ROM. Who's your carrier?

My carrier is Globe Telecom. Globe doesn't restrict anything on the phone unlike the carriers in the US of A.
Anyways, where can I find build.prop and what's the reason why I can't install the apps?
You need to root your phone and then install Market Enabler. Use it to fake your carrier as tmobile/Verizon US.

So this app can tell that I have a modified phone by stating that it does not work with a security tampered phone. How does it know this and what can I do? Any ideas?! Thanks!

It apparently runs a check to see if you are rooted. Try downloading OTA Rootkeeper from the play store. It has the ability to temporarily unroot your phone. I have used it to get flixster to run after it refused to run after it found root on my phone.

Someone on XDA posted a version where they removed the security check. It works on rooted phones, and non-supported devices. A search should turn up the link. Be aware, however, that the video is downrezzed (by Directv, not the hack) and looks like garbage on any screen with decent resolution

DirecTV downrezzes it. Possibly to save space, or some other reason, but it's not a result of the hack. It's a compression thing

Google have blocked access to it in 4.4 so the built-in app is no longer available.

I believe they blocked the APIs used by the permissions editor which is why it crashes - but I'm struggling to find the reference I read that had this info.......

I downgraded my N4 back to 4.3. Disabling app ops is terrible. Even apple has this feature: iOS alerts you if any app wants to access your contacts, or your photos, or your camera, and you have a choice to allow or not. Android 4.3 does not alert you, but at least you have the option to dig into the App Ops and revoke access to certain things. 4.4 is the first time an android upgrade dissapointed me (they destroyed the alarm app, the keyboard, the wifi indicator's activity/internet access, and App Ops).
App ops was never an official feature, so they technically didn't remove anything.

I'm with you on the users defending Google like the can do no wrong, but definitely disagree about the YouTube g+ integration... They needed to clean YouTube up, and now I can see friend's comments on videos more easily and only view the comments and responses of certain people... That was a good idea..
I think Google is completely wrong by blocking this app ops function, if that's what happened here...

Does anyone know where these preferences are stored? I'm mainly concerned with whether or not changing the options will affect an OTA update. If nothing is altered in the system files I'm sure we're good to go.

If you changed your DPI, then that is probably it. I faced the same.
Use "Play Store Fixes" module for Xposed and set the fake density as 360. Would solve your issue.
I get that option and I'm not rooted. Oh and btw, "notest" love it. Well done.
Edit: ignore me. Wrong device. Doesn't do it on my note 3.

Linux is self secured in that users do not have permission to run applications for which the permissions do not allow. For example normal users cannot access configuration files. Root access is required. In order to install or change applications root access is also required.
Don't need anti-virus app on your android mobile.
Just remember don't install the app from non-play market.
And note that the permission before installing.
And you can always try applications from XDA. we are trusted people

True. I think XDA apps are as reliable as play store apps since apps on XDA gets constant feedbacks from other developers.
However, that also means that, just like playstore apps, I should be aware of relatively new and unpopular apps.

Would not even trust all apps from play store as google is not checking them before adding to the store. so they might be harmful as well... Hence, XDA apps are even trustworthier I would say :good:
During my years of Android experience. I have never heard of any Android phone getting a virus?
If you have anti-viruse softwares on your device. The only thing that'll do is slow your device down and restrict you to certain content.
So yes. Android anti viruses are useless.

And seriously... there is already not a lot of viruses developp on linux, so on android...
There's no way an app could infect your phone when you aren't rooted, so Anti Virus on Android is useless.
Even if you are rooted, when you don't download the most obscure apks, chances are nihil you get a virus (or otherwise harmed). If you don't fully trust an apk, you than screen it using googles apk installer. It doens't slow down your device and works good.
Thanks for the insight

It can happen
Just recently, a friend got a virus on her Galaxy S6 from browsing via Chrome to her local CrossFit site, which is as follows:
http://brandonevenson.com/
Just downloaded ESET Mobile Security & Antivirus to give it a test run.
Thoughts?
Antivirus apps are all just gimmicks and completely useless also often causing more problems mainly by drastically hindering performance. A real computer virus is just impossible on a Linux based system like android because the nature of androids architecture isn't a comfortable environment for viruses to run quietly and stealthily and would take the most intense development Google longs for and for what some nerds contacts and porn browser history? The only thing close to a virus is maybe malware which then is no more than popup ads and such. So ask yourself who to worry about when so many antivirus apps are deceiving millions of people...
