Installing apps

From a file stored on the device using TDM

If you are installing an app using TDM’s Install application option, then only the Feature permissions > App install permission is required.

However, you will require at least one application capable of finding files to be unhidden.

Launching an install from another app (e.g. Google Drive)

In addition to the App installs feature permission, you will temporarily need the permission Feature permissions > Unknown app sources.

In addition to the App installs feature permission, you will temporarily need the following permissions:

  • Feature permissions > Mount physical media

  • Feature permissions > USB file transfer

  • Security > General > Other > USB Data Signalling
