Bluestacks + Android Device Policy app - General Questions and Answers

Hi, I'm trying to run the Android Device Policy app on Bluestacks so I can manage the device by https://enterprise.google.com/android/experience/overview.
However for some reason the app cannot complete its set up and it shows an error: "Your System cannot be managed by this app. Please contact your administrator."
I have tried to root and allow all the permission to the app, but it still does not work.
Any suggestion?
Regards,

I had encountered this problem previously, and after a deeper Google search found out that there is a way to make this work.
Don't try to apply the policy through the Android notification
Open Play Store
Search for Android Device Policy
Install it
Open it
Set your lock screen if requested in the Policy app
Once complete, your device should be registered and able to sync.
NOTE: I only have tried this on the new Beta 5 version of BlueStacks. It worked great.

Android Offline App Loader

I hand an HTC Magic + and would like to know if there was a way to load an app installer onto the android system without using android market place.
Yes i know i can easily sign into the android app market and download many installers, but that will force me to have a google account tied to my phone.
Here is the achillis heel, i do not want to log into google account on the android market.
Is there a way to install apps to the android 2.1, 2.2, or 2.3 using the storage card, some offline app loader.
I know there is a way to do this using the Android SDK, i tried it, i got no idea how to use it, there are no good guides anywhere on internet forums, and youtube guide was for mac, and it wasnt presented clearly.
The reason why i want an offline app loader is so i can try many of the app from the xda forums and community without using the market place.
If you already have the .apk's it's as easy as opening them in the file manager on your phone. Just make sure you have Settings > Applications > Unknown Sources selected.
If you're asking about where you can go to get the .apk's to install them, that's a whole different story and I'm not getting in on that discussion.

I don't see the "unkown sources" selection on the setting> applications. Can anyone help ME find it?

Marketplace screwed on my omnia W. Help!

after unlocking my omnia w(i8350) by interop unlock I've install Bazaar and market config. I've tried install app through bazaar but it needs root access and so I allowed by accessing wp7 root tools by heathcliff74. And again I wanted to install bluetooth share from Nokia so I tried market place config app, it needs too root access. I allowed it and install nokia bluetooth share app (didn't work) by changing the settings (set OEM Marketplace Nokia). Everything was OK. But my curiosity didn't stop and I set OEM Marketplace to All OEM on marketplace config app and restart the device and after that my whole marketplace settings screwed. Even I restored the Marketplace config and cancelled the root access, but nothing happened. I cancelled root access of Bazaar app too and also checked by allowing root access to original Marketplace. But no success. Every time I wanted to download something this error message comes (see attachment for the message). so guys I don't wanna do Hard reset. Please help me out. I also tried DFT bluetooth file transfer didn't work shows result installation fails and didn't go off the screen had press homescreen to uninstall it. which one is the culprit don't know. :'(
Problem Solved
Since my marketplace screwed i was thinking of give it some experiment and it worked. I uninstalled every xap file except wp7 root tool, and then try reinstalling again. This time allowed bazaar to root access, download market config from bazaar. Problem is in one which I deployed from pc, so uninstalled that one and reinstall from bazaar. Now market config has root access and allow OEM market to All OEM, search for apps it stucked (normal), now from market config allow samsung and set region-free in next field saved it and than taped on settings, restore previous settings waited for confirmation. Restart device, checked market place everything back in action.

[SOLVED] How to enable Google Now on Android 5.0 Lollipop Nexus 5

***PLEASE CHECK OUT UPDATE METHOD AT THE END!***
For those of you who cannot get Google now to work because you live in “Other countries", here's a fix that works for the Nexus 5 running the official Android 5.0 Lollipop released yesterday (Thursday 13th).
Here are the possible problems you ran into:
1. In Google Search's setting, you are unable to "flick on" Google Now with text "Google Now requires location services which are not available."
2. You signed out of the Google account, cleared Google Search app, uninstalled updates from Google Play Services, and signed in again. But after you click "Yes, I'm in" in you get a simple message saying "This account is not eligible for Google Now"
Be sure that your device's language is in English (United States)
Fix:
1. Download and install Market Unlocker (I am apparently a new member and not allowed to post links)
2. If your country blocks Google Play (eg. China), download SpeedVPN
3. If you are logged into Google: Settings-->Accounts-->Google-->*Click on your email*-->Three button on top right-->Remove Account
4. Go into Settings-->Apps -->Clear data for both Google Play Services and Google Search
5. Now open Market Unlocker --> Enable Unlocker (Default should be Verizon United States, if not, swipe right and choose that)
6. Turn of the phone.
7. Important: remove SIM card
8. Turn on the phone, connect to wifi, and open SpeedVPN -->Choose "United States"
9. Long press on homescreen -->Settings--> turn on Google Now
10. Log in and you should get your Google Now working.
11. Put back your SIM card
Hope it helps guys. Let me know if you run into any problems during this process.
UPDATE!
HERE'S A NEW METHOD THAT WORKS FOR LOLLIPOP ON NEXUS 5 as of February 1st 2015
This method has also been tested on Nexus 4 running Lollipop 5.0 as well. Here are the steps
1. Make sure you are rooted and have a working VPN
2. Download and install "location report enabler"
3. Run it and grant root access
4. Restart phone, turn on airplane mode with Wi-Fi on
5. Set VPN to country like America or England
6. Clear data for Google Launcher, Play services, Play store
7. Settings--> Location--> Google ----> enable location
8. Sign out of Google account
9. Back to home screen, use Google search to "remind me to buy milk"
10. Go through sign in steps
11. Back to home screen and swipe left. Voila!
Again if you have any questions please comment!

How about before step 1 you turn on airplane mode and in step 3 you uninstall updates + disable Google play services?

I actually got my Nexus 5 from Taobao and then clean installed lollipop. This worked for me. Did you try removing your SIM?

you must uncheck "Android Device Mangaer" from Security -> Device administrators to make that button clickable

Same for me, I just cannot get it to work. Tried several times, also uninstalled the updates of Google Play Services. And yes, I am rooted...
I also removed my Exchange account and disabled all device administrators
When it says account not eligible and goes back to google search just make it remind something (eg - remind me to sleep in 10 minutes) before doing anything else and it should automatically enable google now and take you to google now. Worked for me and hope this helps yall

Interestingly I didn't even get to try it out.
Google Now worked after following the steps mentioned by dollarside. However, it was probably the 5th I've tried.
Might be related to Market Unlocker that didn't seem to work at first. I used the guide from here (including proxy settings) and downloaded the latest version (3.5.1). After rebooting I made sure that the app actually said Market successfully changed (I had failed before after the reboot).
Another reason could be that I used Astrill VPN before (with different US servers). The last and successful attempt was with SpeedVPN.
In the end I cannot say what helped. Being persistent turned out to be successful. This time.
it's work for me in second try without rooting or using market unlocker.
on my nexus 4 from Iran
Perfect !:good:
Works on 5.0.1
Many Thanks

Hi, can you explain what you did?
100% working solution credits to reddit user archie411.

Yay the new update (Google App 4.1.24.1672412.arm) works with the old trick I used.
The old trick if anyone needs it (Needs root) -
Install Titanium Backup. Install a File Manager and a Launcher. I used ES File Explorer and Nova Launcher.
Find and download com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-2.6.7.721924.arm version of Google Search and copy it to your phone. (Won't post the link because it's not allowed. You can find it in Androidfilehost)
Open Titanium Backup and tap on "Backup/restore". Scroll down to Google Search and tap on it. Do a backup by tapping "Backup!!" (Just in case) Then tap on "Un-Install!" (Make sure you have a different launcher installed before doing this!!")
Restart your phone.
Open the file manager, navigate to the folder where you copied the Google Search 2.6.7.721924 apk and install it. Open it and it will ask to Opt in to Google Now. Tap on "Yes I'm in".
Download and install the latest update from APKMirror Google App 4.1.24.1672412.arm.
And you are done! Feel free to remove the other launcher and file manager.

Android sign app as system app

Hello, I have a question, I already read like 20 Threads on here and still haven't found a solution.
I have developed an android application that only gets installed on selected devices (for example the Google Nexus Player (fugu)). The app relies on root permissions, currently I am using a rooted device with su, but I want to build it properly. I don't want to publish the app in the playstore, but is it possible to sign the application as a System Application with sharedid="uid.system" ? If so , how can I do that ?
Regards

"Unknown sources" missing on Oreo

Hi, since the Oreo update I can't find the "Unknown sources" to install APK's freely. I'ts not under "Lock Screen and Security", and I have enabled Chrome in "Applications/Special Access/Install other apps" and I'm trying to install apps from the "Downloads" section of chrome, but it dosn't work this way either.
I was trying to install the Pixel Launcher as seen from here: https://theunlockr.com/2018/03/13/make-samsung-galaxy-s9-look-like-stock-android/
But everytime I try it I get the "<!> Application not installed".
I don't know exactly what says in english, I'm using my phone in spanish.
Any ideas? Thanks!
If you go to Settings-Apps-3 Dots-Special Access-Install Unknown Apps.
They've moved it so only certain apps can install unknown apps
Please help how to fix this problem. This doesn't work, I tried installing Accuweather pro several times. I have the app saved to my Google Drive, I click on the app and I see something called 'Staging App' and then I get this alert ' There was a problem parsing the package'. I currently had an older version of Accuweather pro installed and working fine. I decided to remove the old version and then reinstall it and I received the same alert. FYI the old Accuweather app was installed before the Oreo update.

Have you tried downloading your APP file from Google Drive to your phone then opening the copy on your phone, that should install the .apk
Go to settings on the phone >> apps >> 3 vertical dots at the top right corner >> special access >> install unknown apps >> and there enable the permission from where you are trying to download it.
All thank you,
I found out that you now have to download the app to your phone. Google Drive does not allow you to download and manually install .
Dear sir/madam,
Following your answer, in specific this part, "They've moved it so only certain apps can install unknown apps", perhaps someone could help me out. I use the Firefox Focus browser and this app doesn't show up in the list of apps that are allowed to install unknown apps.
* Does this mean Firefox Focus can't install apps from unknown apps, since it's not on the list?
* And perhaps we can conclude from that it will never be allowed to do so?
* Or would this app not be on this list, because I've never tried installing anything using this browser?
I guess the real question would be, what populates this list?
I hope to hear from you, thanks in advance, all the best.
Form what I've seen, 1st time you try to install apk from an app it asks you if you want to allow it?

That's what I was thinking as well, funny thing is that 'Google Chrome' is in the list and I've never used that browser. Unless it's there, because it's from Google
I have followed the above suggestions and have allowed Chrome to install apps since that's the browser I'm using. The phone says I have downloaded the app but it is not giving me any option to install it? Where did the download go and how can I get it actually installed? This is an app for work.
Edit: Nevermind - I restarted the phone and tried again and it worked. thanks.
