change default system settings

Preyas Kamath

I'm customising the prebuilt TI source code for device AM335_SK, android ver 4.0.3 (ICS). When I upgrade my app, the settings dialog shows I need to set permissions to install 3rd party apps. How do I change the default settings for System Security.

Temporarily enabling Settings -> Security -> Unknown sources should fix this. Do you want to make it enabled from your Android build?

Yes, I want the defaults modified in source.

Hi Preyas,

Find the settings from frameworks/base/packages/SettingsProvider/res/values/defaults.xml

<bool name="def_install_non_market_apps">false</bool>

Modify it to the desired value

Add it to device/ti<product name>/overlay/frameworks/base/packages/SettingsProvider/res/values/defaults.xml

Recompile full android

Best Regards,

Arun
