I went Settings -> Security but then I couldn't find the option to turn off "unknown sources". The options shown are screen lock, lock phone after, make pattern visible, vibrate on touch, set up SIM card lock, make passwords visible, trusted credentials, install from SD card, and clear credentials.
Is there a new way to do this? Thanks in advance.

its all good bro
Not working on ARHD 6.5.
Can someone confirm?
i flashed the file and still cant install or find the option for install from unknown source.
Sometimes an installed App hides this option. Like mine when i installed WidgetZoid, i couldnt find it anywhere under Security option. I had to delete my WidgetZoid widget from the homescreen or worse uninstall the app that causes to hide the option.
My S6 always "forget" after every reboot that i only enabled 1 keyboard?!? Keyboards
Hey i installed the google keyboard and i just want to use the google keyboard NOT THE SAMSUNG KEYBOARD!!! so you know there comes a keyboard icon in the top on the left side when you have enabled more than just 1 keyboard, so i disabled the samsung keyboard and everything was fine BUT when i restart my phone it seems to "forget" that i disabled the samsung keyboard and the icon comes again!! and when i go to the settings the samsung keyboard is activated too again!!! So it seems to forget after every reboot that i only enabled the google keyboard!! what can i do against this???
I recognized that it doesnt even forget after every reboot, its forgetting it after some minutes
You can disable it with Xposed. A couple custom ROMs disable that annoying glitch as well.

For me it is under Notification panel and then towards the bottom you should see "Hide input method selector"
I'm trying to enable Accessibility features (e.g. the Universal Switch). However, I can't enable any of the features, as I can't for whatever reason press the "OK" button when the dialog asking for permissions pops up; I've tried it for different Accessibility features, pressing "OK" does nothing ("CANCEL" takes me out of the dialog, as expected). For reference, a screenshot of the dialog I'm referring to is located at imgur with the URL identifier "Lwg0seF" (I'm a new user, forgive me for not being able to directly post the screenshot here :/ )
I have no idea how to circumvent this. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?
Please help, I can't use my phone properly unless I get this working. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I don't know how this happened, but I've just tried it again (haven't made any changes), the permission granting works now. It seems the problem solved itself somehow.
did you installed a rom that was debloated of samsung software ?
because i´ve had this problem before and it turned out the rom i was using needed the samsund TTS and voice software for me to use the accessibility option i needed
not sure if this is your case, hope it helps
Edit: I have given my S7 Edge to a family member, because they needed a phone. So I will not be able to experiment with this any longer. If you are not able to reverse these steps, I advise reinstalling firmware.
WARNING - This will trip Knox and erase the contents of your device. Please back up any important files. And don't blame me for any bricking or boot loops. That risk comes with the territory.
Please leave comments against spoofing out. This is a guide. Not a debate.
Note that there are shorter/easier methods, but i believe that these steps will further ensure that you will be able to spoof your location without the risk of a soft ban. Provided that you follow the rules to changing location.
I wanted to type up this quick guide, because I found it a little difficult to get some rooted devices to not only spoof a location, but to do so without constantly teleporting between locations. I have tested this on my own G935F, and it works flawlessly with the March Security patch. I will not guarantee this method for any other devices. Not even other Galaxy phones as I tried this same method with my Note 4, and it still teleports. It should work on the S7 series (Exynos and Chinese Qualcomm only) just fine, though. I played for 2 hours with no teleporting. US models do not seem to have Twrp, so this method will most likely not work for them. Sorry.
Please forgive the lack of photos as this is my 1st guide.
Requirements:
-A rootable S7 or S7 Edge running stock Android Nougat (I do not know if this works with Marshmallow)
-The latest Odin (Found HERE)
-External storage. For some reason TWRP doesn't want to read the internal storage. I used a flash drive with an OTG cable.
- The latest Twrp (Found HERE)
-The latest Magisk & Magisk Manager (Found HERE)
- Either DM-Verity & Forced Encryption Disabler (Found HERE) or Samsung Anti-Root Removal Tool (Found HERE). Both are supposed to work. I ran into an issue and ended up flashing both while trying to narrow down the issues, and it worked for me.
-GPS Joystick Fake GPS Location (Found HERE)
-Package Disabler Pro (Samsung) (Found HERE for $1.49) You can try a free route. Just make sure that it plays nice with Samsung devices.
I recommend a fresh firmware install before attempting, but to each their own. You can find firmware on sammobile or here on XDA.
Part 1 - Flashing Firmware
1. Go into your phone's settings, and enable Developer options. To do this, scroll to the bottom of settings, choose "about device", then "software info". search for "build number", and press it multiple times until your phone says that you are a developer.
2. Go back to the main settings menu, and at the very bottom there should now be "Developer Options". Press it, and enable "OEM unlock", and "USB debugging".
3. Go back to the main settings page, and press "Cloud and accounts". Then press accounts. If there is a Google account signed in, remove it. Do this by pressing "Google", and select your gmail account. Then press the menu button (the 3 dots in the top right corner), and press "Remove Account".
4. Press and hold down the power button, home button, and the volume down button. Do this until the phone shuts off, and and displays a greenish bluish screen that says "Warning". Press the volume up button to continue.
5. Go to your computer and extract the files for Odin into their own folder. Do the same for your stock firmware, and Magisk. Do not do this for Twrp, as the file is ready to go.
6. Open Odin and plug in your device. Under "ID:COM", one of the boxes should be lit up, and displaying "COM" followed by a number. If it is not, you do not have the proper drivers installed, and should do so. I obtain my drivers via Samsung Kies, but there are standalone drivers available. Look HERE for more info on drivers.
7. Once your device is showing up in Odin, you can install the firmware. There are 2 ways of doing this (Only 1 of these will apply to you);
-If you extracted 1 file from the firmware zip file that you downloaded, Click on "AP*", and select that file. In my experience, these files almost always end with the word "HOME".
-If you extracted 4 or 5 files from the firmware zip file, then click "BL" and select the file that begins with "BL". Do the same for "AP*","CP", and "CSC". Ignore the file that says "HOME".
*Allow your computer time to load the AP file. This can take quite some time. The program will act like it is crashing. It isn't.
8. Click on the options tab, and uncheck "auto-reboot". We're going to get all of this flashing done as quick as possible. Once you have done that, click "Start".
9. Allow the device time to flash. If the top left box says "PASSED" you successfully flashed new firmware, and are ready to flash a custom recovery. If it says "FAILED", there was a problem, and you should re-check the steps.
Part 2 - Installing Custom Recovery (TWRP)
1. Repeat step 4 from Part 1 to re-enter Download mode. Click "Reset" in Odin.
2. Assuming that the phone is still successfully connected to the pc, Click "AP", and select the file for Twrp.
3. Make sure that the "Auto-Reboot" option is still unchecked, and click "Start".
4. Allow the device a few seconds to flash. If the top left box says "PASSED" you successfully flashed Twrp, and are ready to root. If it says "FAILED", there was a problem, and you should re-check the steps.
5. This part requires some timing on your part. So read the entire step before following along.
-Hold down the same buttons that you did to enter download mode (volume down + home + power). When the screen goes black, quickly release the volume down button, and instead press and hold the volume up button. You should be holding (volume up + home + power).
-When the screen says "Galaxy S7/Edge", release the power button, but continue to hold the other 2 until you see the screen "Teamwin".
Part 3 - Rooting/Magisk
1. Plug your external storage into your computer, and place all of the magisk files onto it.
2. Once in Twrp, you'll be greeted with a warning. If you slide to the right, you will not be able to reboot, until you have finished flashing the files mentioned below. Slide right, when ready.
3. Press "Wipe", and "Format Data". Type "yes" to continue.
4. Press the on-screen home button, and press "Install".
5. Plug your external storage into your phone via an OTG adapter. Press "Select Storage", and choose OTG.
6. Choose the Magisk file that you just moved there, then choose "Add more Zips", and add "Samsung Anti-root Removal Tool" and "DM-Verity & Forced Encryption Disabler" in that order. Swipe to flash.
7. Reboot, and allow extra time for your phone to set up. If you are caught in a boot loop, re-flash everything, and try again. You can try to troubleshoot, but restarting eliminates oversight.
Part 4 - Configuration
1. Set your phone up as normal.
2. Magisk
-Plug the external storage back into the phone, and open the file manager. Locate, and install the Magisk Manager. There will be a notice about unknown sources. Follow the settings and override it.
-Open Magisk, and make sure it is up to date (3 green check marks). Press "Tap to start SafetyNet check". You should get 2 more green checks.
-Press the menu button (top left), and press "Downloads". Download and Install "App Systemizer". Reboot.
3. Package Disabler Pro
-Go to the Play Store, and install "Package Disabler Pro (Samsung)".
-Run the app. It will tell you to install and activate "PDP Engine". Follow the on screen instructions.
-Re-open the package disabler, and search for "Fused Location". Check the box to disable it. This will disable the GPS. So re-enable this if you need it to work properly. Reboot.
4. Install Pokemon Go
5. GPS Joystick
-Go to the Play store, and install "GPS Joystick Fake GPS Location". Once installed, open the app "AppSystemizer". Check the box next to the GPS Joystick. Reboot.
-Go back into the GPS Joystick app, and press "Fix GPS Jump To Real Location". Make sure that it is set to "Default".
-Go to the app's settings (top left, then 2nd to bottom).
-Turn on the following; Enable Indirect Mocking, Enable System Mode, Disable Location Service, Save Last Location, Auto Close App, Auto Start JoyStick.
-Set the Auto Start app for Pokemon Go.
-Process Interval, Update Interval, and Idle Interval should all be 500 ms.
-The rest should be fine as-is.
6. Go to settings, re-enable Developer Options, and set Mock Location app to "GPS Joystick". The game will allow this now that it is a system app. Reboot one last time for good measure.
If all steps were followed, you should have spoofing with no teleporting.
As of 7/24/2017, you should be inactive for 2 hours prior to making spoofing far away from your last location.
Having trouble?
Here are resources for many of the steps. I would utilize these before posting questions here.

Avery useful video guide for rooting
Seems like a lot of the last part is uneeded
All i have done in the past is download the app, move it to system with lucky patcher and disable location service in the apps settings and reboot
(system mode is active automatically after you move it to a system app)
Still works for me today just caught 4 Lugia haha :good:
no need for messing with package disabler/debug settings/ extra settings to be changed in the spoof app
it's a great guide, just one hell of a read i think you could possibly shorten the rooting/flashing to links to the official threads too (that way people will have access to troubleshooting already done too)

Thanks for the feedback.
I definitely agree that it is long winded. My S7 Edge was being particularly stubborn, though. So while some may get by on doing parts of this, I feel that this will ensure not only spoofing, but rubber band free spoofing. My Note 4 is even worse. As it still teleports back and forth with all of this applied. It may have something to do with my location. IDK.
I'll probably link root and recovery guides as resources, but considering how many people are new to root, and are trying to get this to work, I felt like extreme hand holding was essential, and most guides on here assume that you know all of the basics, and so they will skim over details that other may find to be important.
Congrats on the Lugia. Try going to Grant Park in Chicago. A lot of the lengendaries there are 100% catch rate until 5PM today.

haha yes i understand i just didn't want you to get overrun with complaints about so many different things flashing/root/twrp/magisk etc.. as it is a lot for a person not used to this sort of stuff to do in one go
yeah that's where i went only play when theirs an event on tbh.
Great guide either way bro clearly put plenty of time into it :good:

Very true. This guide is not for the faint of heart. Will definitely be adding resource links.
GPS
Great guide but how can I switch back to normal GPS when required?
Followed it to the word, but when it comes in installing magisk, it says "please restore stock boot image" and just stops installing.
Edit:
Turns out i left TWRP installed from last time i tried, didn't even know, Best off starting fresh as I skipped that part thinking I was on stock!
Re-did it with 7.0 (G935FXXU1DQBT security patch feb) and it works flawlessly! Thanks dude!!
Thanks this worked great. But I have one issue, ever since I've rooted I cannot get my GPS to work normally anymore, I used the package disabler and turned on fused locations again but my GPS is still not working, have any idea what could be causing the issue?
This no longer works. Decided to do this on my other s7 edge, same model as I did before. Done this 3 times and PDP Engine fails with some message about device is rooted.
This DID work as my previous post but now PDP Engine fails (it was updated today 23rd) but I tried an older version (2.1) and still says the message. Not too sure what to do at this point.
I have been using this method for a long time and i wanted to turn it off and start normal real gps. But as you mentioned as below:
"-Re-open the package disabler, and search for "Fused Location". Check the box to disable it. This will disable the GPS. So re-enable this if you need it to work properly. Reboot."
I did re-enable Fused Location and rebooted but it did not fixed my gps. And now maps does not show any location either. So what am i doing wrong here ?

I would do the following to make gps work again:
- re-enable "fused location" inside package disabler.
-re-enable "location services" inside the joystick app
-disable "indirect mocking" in the joystick app
-inside Developer options, set mock location to "none".
I hope this helps.

How to Root snapdragon HK variant S7 edge?

Hello @sireniankyle , how are you? I have a question, is this method still working on the Samsung s7 edge?
I want to spoof by using pokemod, but I need to root my s7 edge first, and I'm kind of lost, if I do this on my s7 edge or would be best to buy a Xiaomi to make sure that the root process works better. Can you help me bro? I'm kind of afraid to do something wrong with the only smartphone that I have...

Hello there,
as written in the title I am trying to figure out why the settings app does not show the apps list to turn off dark mode for sigle applications.
CONTEXT:
MIUI Global 13.0.1 (Android 11), Dark mode enabled.
Some minor (no root/no roms flashing) tinkering has been made on the device, including:
Uninstalled some community-recognized bloatware via adb
Revoked some highly-sensitive intrusive permission for some system/not-system apps from Settings > Privacy Protection > Special Permissions, however no permission has been revoked from the "Settings" app
EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:
Opening Settings > Display > More dark mode options shows a list of apps (under "Individual apps") for whom you can disable the made-in-miui dimming.
OBTAINED BEHAVIOUR:
The "individual apps" list is empy, as shown in the screenshot linked above.
ALREADY ATTEMPTED (AND DIDN'T SOLVE):
Rebooting the device (disappointed, I expected this to work)
Accessing the dark mode settings from the notification area
Opening the settings in split-screen with another app
Opening the settings after opening as many apps as possible to fill the RAM
Waiting 5+ minutes in the "More dark mode options" screen
Swiping the line just above "Individual apps" up
Accessing the settings page while mobile data and Wi-Fi are turned off
What are the other possible ways to solve this? Is there a particular system app who is responsible for the app list showing in this setting? Or is there a way to completely turn off Individual apps dark mode while keeping dark mode on?
Thank you in advance for the replies and screw Xiaomi for making no option for this and making this "in-app-enforced-darkmode-wannabe" enabled by default for every app.
Hum..., bump?
Unfortunately all I can add is I'm experiencing the same issue and haven't found a solution. I think it must have been introduced with an MIUI update as I know in the past the dark mode app list has been populated.

Still not working for me. I did find this thread for a different Xiaomi phone with the same MIUI issue. Seems someone has made a Magisk module if you have a rooted phone: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...t-miui-13-redmi-note-10.4404923/post-87160523
However I haven't rooted my phone (in case I had any issues with e.g. banking apps) so haven't tried this myself. I'm just hoping Xiaomi eventually fix it in an update.

That is absolutely crazy, how Xiaomi messed up their own software. It has not been showing the apps for me for long now and it is so annoying to have to switch dark mode off entirely every time an app doesnt display elements correctly, just because Xiaomi forces their weird dark mode adaptation into apps that dont support dark mode natively. I dont get how they thought that feature being on by default for every app was a good idea...
EDIT: Also thank you for the link but I don't want to root my phone either, too many security related concerns.
It is working, the UI just stalls when loading the apps list. when you open the "More dark mode options"
place your finger on the line that says "individual apps" and swipe up. if u did it right it will show the list., just keep swiping up from that line until the list shows
This issue was discussed in the xiaomi forums (c.mi) and this is the only way to access the dark mode page.

I tried this several times and in multiple directions (I can actually swipe the interface up), swiping the line app to the top, but it keeps showing no app; there keeps being a problem on loading the list of apps for some reason
