[Question] Installing XDA Labs - General Questions and Answers

I have a difficulty in installing XDA Labs on my phone.
Here is my information.
1. Model - Galaxy S8 Plus (purchased in South Korea)
2. SW - Android 8.0.0 / Samsung Experience 9.0
And here is my problem.
1. Open XDA app.
2. On the left, I click "Switch to full version."
3. Blue screen, titled "Upgrade XDA Labs," comes up, explaining benefits of XDA Labs.
4. I hit "DOWNLOAD UPGRADE" button on the bottom of the page.
5. Green screen comes up, explaining that I need to "use the link below to enable Unknown Sources and then hit the back button."
6. I click the link "ENABLE SETTING."
7. Doing #6 takes me to my "LOCK SCREEN AND SECURITY" setting.
8. I scroll down and click "INSTALL UNKNOWN APPS."
9. I do not see XDA or anything related apps to give permission to install unknown sources.
10. I cannot proceed from here.
What should I do?
Thank you in advance!

I did notice that you were successful on the Labs thread.
I'm happy that you had gotten it figured out!
The Labs app is very good and I hope you enjoy it...

Sorry.
My bad. My own search showed me that this was from CM11.
But any how that's the right one I was looking for.
My resolution is 1080x1920.
To be honest can I not see the defferens between the pics.
UPDATE..
Ohh... I see now.
Looks like the one in the middle is the darkest so I think I go whit that one ?

I just took a look at that file that @mauam provided and knew where it goes...
The typical installation method for this file type is as follows:
1) Go to the following directory:
/system/media/
2) Cut & Paste the existing bootanimation.zip file to an alternative location where you know that you can locate it (aka backup the existing bootanimation.zip file).
3) Place a copy of the new CM11 bootanimation.zip into that directory.
4) Reboot the device and enjoy.
Good Luck!

Flashable bootanimation attached. If that also doesn't works for you, so nothing more I can do for you.

Recovery Flashable (ie TWRP, CWM, etc..).
I believe that it should work if you use FlashFire, Flashify, etc... too.

Just an FYI...
The flashable one from @mauam was a simple installer that just took the same bootanimation.zip and placed it in the same directory as per my other post outlined.
Keep in mind that the other stock bootanimation that was previously there is gone and replaced with that Purple one.
If you ever need a Bootanimation, from another version of CyanogenMod, just grab the ROM and grab the "bootanimation.zip" from it and (you know now) where it goes.
Good Luck!

Thanks for the explanation.
I'm rather new in this and are working on making my own animation and a installer to it so that when I update my LOS it will stay in sted of the standard one.

How did you make this installer?
I'm working on a few project and wanted to try to make them flashable and a Google searching for a few days don't tell much and a search on XDA just tell less than Google.

[APP][Android 3.1+] APK Editor Pro - Edit apk files inside the phone

APK Editor Pro is a paid app on gplay, but now it is removed by google, thus we decided to put the latest version here.
APK Editor Pro is one of the best Android app/apk editing tool you can install on your Android device. It is a powerfull app can edit/hack apk files to do lots of things for fun. It can help us to translate strings, replace icons, redesign layouts, remove ads, remove limitation in free version, etc. In general, it can edit everything inside an apk (except the native library). And, what it can do depends on how you use it.

I cannot find the button to directly upload apk file, anyone know that?
Hi.
I suggest patches collected by me and not only.

My apologies.
I'll try to elaborate a bit...
What is the difference between the "Untouched" version of the APK Editor Pro and the "Crack" version?
I did purchase the APK Editor Pro on the Play Store a long time ago and, when you had provided one with the word "Crack" in it, it just confused me as to the difference between the two.
I do appreciate your continued development here after the removal from the Play Store.

[Crack] - this is the sporting interest of one of our members of the forum. The application has very strong protection. Try to change the signature of the original application. By the way, I bought the application just as long ago. And yes, by the way, the application is restored in Google play.

I just edit the post and just replace the text with something like "~DELETED~" in it.
If there's an attachment to remove as well, then I hit the same option to edit the post but, I also select the "Advanced" option then, in that screen, you can manage the post attachment(s) to add/remove them.
