##How to uncheck “unknown sources” for F-Droid

@Stefan

I didn’t know that making F-Droid a system app, let’s you uncheck “apps from unknown sources”.

The other possibility is to let F-Droid install packages using root access (can be found in the F-Droid settings).

@Stefan

But you need /system/app/mover (which requires busybox) for that… Are there other ways to make apps to system apps?

First, uninstall F-Droid and make sure you have an F-Droid APK available somewhere, let’s assume it’s at /sdcard/fdroid.apk:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /sdcard/fdroid.apk /system/app/
chmod 644 /system/app/fdroid.apk

When you’re done, reboot your phone.

You can enter the above commands using an ADB shell or some terminal emulator application directly on your phone.
