ok so im talking about lockscreen_widget by rori if im not mistaken.
i installed it as an apk file, but now i cant uninstall, just get an error saying "uninstall not successful", stuck. any way to bypass this?
cant find it in system/app either.
sorry for double posting, but i have found a solution.
- Uncheck Device Admin from "Settings > Location & Security >" Select device administrators and uncheck "the app".
Things that are installed are in /data/app/.

After updating my Huawei Mate S to Android Marshmallow EMUI 4.0.1 (CRR-L09C432B361) I am having screen overlay issue. Sorry, I can't give screenshot. Gallery, facebook upload, Gmail etc. are not working properly. I am getting a message like this- "Screen overlay detected- To change this permission setting you first have to turn off the screen overlay from Settings > Apps". When I click on Settings tab, it takes me to a settings section named "Draw over other apps". When I click on the relevant app, I find some of their permissions denied, which I can't turn on. I did some googling and found some other related posts mostly indicating to disable some kind of screen filtering apps or clean master which I don't have. Tried resetting, then wiping cache data, didn't fix. Tried disabling developer options, didn't work. Can anyone help to solve this issue.
As you probably know by now & as I understand it, this is a security measure, which will trigger Marshmallow to pop-up 'Screen overlay detected...' warnings each time you try to change an app's permissions (i.e. for the apps that are affected by this 'drawing over other apps' feature).
There are 2 ways to get around this so you are allowed to freely change apps' permissions (do one or the other - whichever is more convenient for you):
1. Go to Settings > Apps > access 'Advanced' (near the bottom) > under 'Advanced' subsection, access 'Draw over other apps'. Here, individually change the settings of ALL the apps to 'No' (in other words, disable 'Permit drawing over other apps' for every app). Once done, you can freely change apps' permissions in Settings > Apps > [name of app] > 'Permissions' without the annoying 'Screen overlay detected...' warning popping-up every time. Once you have correctly changed the permissions (for every app that's not working properly), you should return to individually change each of the apps' settings to 'Yes' in the 'Draw over other apps' section (in other words, re-enable 'Permit drawing over other apps' for every app).
or (easier for me)
2. Reboot your phone into Safe Mode (click here if you need to know how). Once in Safe Mode, you can freely change apps' permissions in Settings > Apps > [name of app] > Permissions without the annoying 'Screen overlay detected...' warning popping-up every time. Once you have correctly changed the permissions (for every app that's not working properly), restart the phone as normal.
For both of the above & If you prefer, all changeable apps' permissions can also be easily done via Settings > Apps > access 'Advanced' (near the bottom) > access 'App permissions'.
If some apps are still not working as they should, check to see that the affected apps have 'Yes' below their name in the Apps > Advanced > 'Draw over other apps' section, AND they have ALL their permissions enabled under the Settings > Apps > [name of app] > 'Permissions' section.

Don't you need the phone to be rooted to do that?
I suspect most users would have an unrooted phone.

Will this also work on Nougat? Running resurrection remix 5.8 on Mi max Hydrogen. Running LMT Pie launcher prevents me from granting any permissions or sideloading any APKs. Is this specifically for the Mate S?
If it's safe to flash on nougat on the Mi Max, I could try it on Mi Max.
Trying to use Secure Tools to disable volume warning Samsung S5 running Marshmallow. I installed everything and ran adb command. No error, but when I search for Secure Tools it says Not Installed. Then I read this doesn't work on Marshmallow?
My phone is NOT rooted. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks - Frankie

I'm confused. What app are you referring to? "AutoTool's secure settings" or the app "Secure settings" or something else that I'm missing?
TASKER and AUTO TOOLS
I guess I forgot to mention that I'm user Tasker to do this... Thank you.
Be very specific what you are using and what you are trying.
Trying to disable high volume warning on Samsung S5
Using Tasker Auto Tools to run a command on my phone that will allow me to override the Volume High Warning on the Samsung S5 phone. It's supposed to enable WRITE SECURE SETTINGS with this command - and the command runs fine but it's not working for me. But when I go back to the app and look for Secure Settings, it's not there.
adb shell pm grant com.joaomgcd.autotools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Auto tools is a plugin to tasker.
The "adb shell pm grant com.joaomgcd.autotools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" is one of two steps required to give the type of system level OS access this tool needs. The first thing that should be done is to enable "allow modify system settings" for AutoTools.
From the AutoTools Secure Settings page:
To use this, AutoTools needs to be granted permission to change secure settings on your device
If you're on Android 6 or above click here to grant AutoTools the first Settings permission
Then follow these steps to grant AutoTools the Secure Settings permission:
Enable Developer Mode: Go to Android Settings -> About Phone and look for the Build Number option. Touch it multiple times until developer mode is enabled.
Enable USB Debugging: Go to Android Settings -> and look for the Developer Options option. In there, enable the USB debugging option.
Install ADB on your PC: Check here for a quick way to do it.
Connect device to PC: Connect your device to a PC and look on your phone. A prompt should show up asking you to allow your phone to be debugged by your PC. Accept this.
Grant permission: Open a command line on your PC and write
adb shell pm grant com.joaomgcd.autotools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Congratulations, AutoTools should now be able to use the "Secure Settings" action!

Once those things are done ( I typically reboot for no good reason ☺ ), then go to tasker, add an action in a task, then: plugin -> Auto tools -> secure settings (scroll down the list) you'll end up in a screen where you can configure the AutoTools secure settings action.
WOW! I think I did it.. I just hope I can do it again - this was my "test" phone. I think I was messed up by doing the "search" for secure settings because it said it wasn't installed.. Yet I had looked for the secure settings option and didn't find before - although I had already done all the steps. Somehow I got on to a screen that said the app (I forget the exact words) didn't have permission to change the settings, and to press NO if I wanted to allow the permissions - and I pressed no! I had already created the task to disable the warning - but it's been so long, I'm not sure how I did that - but the bottom line is I think it's working.. I had found several sites that said this wouldn't work with Marshmallow unless the phone was rooted, and my phones are not rooted.. so that makes me skeptical, but I did a reboot, and the warning didn't come back. Thanks a ton for your help.. Let's hope I can re-create on the phone that really needs it.
In case this is found by someone else, many of those "how to use secure settings" posts from lollipop and marshmallow predate the (awareness of the) approach used by AutoTools. People spent a lot of effort trying to force an unsupported, outdated app (the original secure settings) to work in a systemless root environment.
I'm sad to say this did NOT work on my test phone.. It looked like it did, but it didn't.
Need help!
I just factory reset my Nexus 6, root it and found in About phone - System update - "System update downloaded and... (restart now)".
I am definitely not want to update from 6.0.1 to 7.1.1, so I am going to Google play service and clean all data. And found that System update start downloading immediately again with only options "Pause downloading", so I pause it for now. I am also found this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/how-to-stop-update-downloaded-t3157232 , but it about 5.1.1 and the answer is wrong, because there is no "Automatic System Updates toggle" in 6.0.1 Nexus 6 (this option came in 7.0). I am also installed Disable services app, and disable SystemUpdateService in Google Play Services and Google Services Framework, but it not work.
I am also try another method - Rename /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip to otacerts_bak.zip , but its also didnt work for me
So, how to prevent it, cos I am afraid to reboot my phone?
It's been forever long since MM. I think things were different then, but some ideas;
Long press the notification and a settings gear/cog should be available. From Settings select "Turn off notifications update"
Go to settings -> apps -> Google Play services (not store - you may need to "show system apps") then uncheck the notification box.
Settings -> about device -> software update -> check for updates
There might be an toggle in developer options (tap on build number 7 times to enable developer options)
I try most of those ideas in start topic. Notification not a problem, I am already blocked it - problem with downloading.
And, as I said, Developer options didnt have it in 6.0, only from 7.0
Hmm, maybe I found solution for my question:
Not enough to kill SystemUpdateService, but when I killed SystemUpdateService Activity receiver, System Update options just disappear from menu "About".
Can somebody confirm it?
Hello,
I tried hiding Magisk App, selected "hide" and then it produced a new app named "Settings" but the old app "Magisk" still remained
If i open "Magisk" now, it shows "super root access denied for Magisk".
If I open "Settings", nothing happens.
Any idea how I could resolve this and how it can be cleaned (without wipe..)?

Today i had the same problem downgrading magisk to use magisk hide. I resolved it by: flashing in twrp Uninstaller_magisk.zip (Google it), and then installing older version of magisk in twrp.
Also search if you have an app "settings" if you renemed like this, and not "magisk". After running "settings" it will ask to update, select yes and then it should work (at least this happens to me).
I can't open magisk nor the renamed verion. Both are installed parallel for some reason. After opening the renamed one root is gone. I tried locking/unlocking bootloader and flash-all.bat. I can't even get rid of it when clean flashing via https://flash.android.com/.
This is a serious problem.

As written, the "Settings" app does not launch at all and the original app shows no root anymore.
However what I could do is the following:
Uninstall the Magisk app and "Settings App" and afterwarts install apk of magisk app.
Then it was like always (showing I'm rooted).
However Hiding the app still does not work and the same issue appears again.,..
The working solution is to allow "USB Debugging" in "Developer options", and additionally by Xiaomi, turn off "MIUI Optimization".
