[Q] Can not uninstall one "unkown source app"

Hi everyone!
so I installed an application (extended controls) "from unknown source" to check it was working on my tf and worth it.
and I can not uninstall it from application manager. force stop and unistall aren't available. i tried to install other versions I found and i got the same issue.
Is there a harder way to uninstall it? i couldn't find any
i'm rooted and on ICS stock.
thanks.

use titanium backup and uninstall it [or settings -> apps -> find it uninstall]... or find the apk and delete it from /data/app/
next time... don't pirate apps. theres a refund window for a reason.

Worked. thanks a lot!
i'll keep your advice in mind.

[Q] USB Debugging not working

When I try to allow it I get this popup which does nothing when clicked, the setting is checked after this but no new device connects to my pc, nor do I get a prompt to allow debugging.
Debugging works just fine when in recovery.

Do what the popup says :|

Security app? It look like Antivirus..
Try to disable or uninstall it..

The thing is that I have never installed any Antivirus apps.
The only thing I did install was Perfect App Protector which I've since removed and rebooted the phone several times.

Maybe the app you says.. Make a blocking..

"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.

Go to menu app manager and add apps, then you can load a file or just add the name of the package in the list. Save and your apps will appear in list

I really thank you too!
Despite MIUIMIX, there is a lot of bloatware left on the device.

Thank You for list Safe debloat list What more can we uninstall ?? Especially what applications from Google, so that the system remains stable

use adb, you can delete all apps without root.
1. adb shell
2. pm list packages
3. pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>

just a question, there is any difference using disable instead of uninstall??
thanks

yes, deactivate, the application remains installed in but not functional, no activity in RAM.

Quick question guys! I have successfully uninstalled or disabled most of the apps that were annoying me in my Mi 10T. I also tried adding the default Camera app to the ones I wanted to uninstall through the "App Manager -> Add Apps" menu and it returned a warning that I might end up bricking my device. I didn't go through with it and would like to know if someone has done it without facing any problems. Should I go on with it?? I am used to using Gcam and it bumps me that I get to have a set of unwanted apps (Camera - Gallery)!!

great tool.
i just want to a add a few comments:
1. i would add a select all - deselect all in the different categories. uninstaller for example.
2. in the uninstaller you're missing quite a few apps - contacts, phone, gallery, themes,(all of xiaomi ) google news and maybe also sim toolkit and security (dunno if security is essential).
3. debloating poco launcher without ensuring you have an alternative can be a bit of a problem, so maybe a hint.
thanks for all!

How is possible without flash again the rom?
When uninstall the app that is gone, and a factory reset should just cancel all user data and apps.

If the application says that it cannot find ADB/Fastboot even though you have downloaded the OS-specific ZIP, open a terminal inside the extracted folder and enter
java -jar XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar

The latest released version was more than a year ago, 31st Aug 2020 TBP, why there is no updated version of this useful tool? Pls make an updated version as some app is not being uninstalled in MiUi 12.5+

Hii can I do multiple clone like 3 whatsapp?

Tested in OneUI 4. Works great, the only issue is that SAI doesn't work, it crashes when opening. Don't know if this is because of OneUI 4.
I can't believe I never saw this. This works perfect for me that I can't fix Secure Folder on Android 12 yet because of root. This is the only reason I use Secure Folder, to clone all apps. Thanks!

What about if I update the main app from google play store? Does the clone app updates itself automatically or do I need to update it manually?

you need to install the apk for the normal user and then for dual app user (95). It works fine on OneUI 4.1
