[REQUEST] Disable Screen Overlay Security in Android Marshmallow

You cannot do anything that modifies the phone when there's an overlay, and I can't find a way to fix that, besides disabling the overlay for a while. If it's a HW overlay, you can't watch videos, and no matter what kind of overlay it is, you can't install apps. Is there any chance a mod can be made that will change this behavior?

Hah .. I wondered why nobody posted such a request .. good I found this
I second the request.
On this Huawei phone I have it is completely unclear what to do when the message about a screen overlay appears. It is 100% trial and error to pick the right app from a huge list. I rely on overlays a lot since I use tools that simple need overlays.
Hope someone cann get rid of this security request for us (non programmers) .. or maybe point us to a module that already handles it.
Cheers

I also miss the way to get rid of this annoying overlay thing.

This message stops you from giving apps access permissions. So I assume it would already be helpful to have some kind of script that saves that specific display overlay state of all apps and then allows you to toggle all on/off at once. After applying access permissions you could then restore the state you formerly saved.
Does this sound feasible?

+1 (Xposed module?)
Very annoying with many apps which uses display overlay!

Good news .. just check the repository for "Overlay" .. tested and works :good:

Yep but now iam on nougat without Xposed
Any hint to disable this without Xposed (sideload installing apps; apkmirror)?

OK, managed with Tasker shell am stopservice <package>

Instead of trial and error method, just go the app permissions yourself and enable the permissions manually.

There's also an app at the Play Store to deal with that.
Check out "Install Button Unlocker" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.sfapps.installbuttonunlocker

there is a module called NoOverlayWarning for this particular purpose/REQUEST

Heh, I was going to mention that module also but for some reason assumed the folks here knew about it but maybe it didn't work.
I use it on MM. Haven't tried it on Nougat yet.

Google Assistant working?

Hi,
Running on epic pro rom, latest instalment. Everything stable so far. But I can't get GA working properly. I'm on Google app beta, play services beta, cache cleared, English language.
The settings in Google app even look like it's installed. But I can't open it with "ok, google" (voice trained ok) and when I long press home nothing happens...
Anybody got it running?
Thx

Only got it working with xposed and GA module. Trying​ lineage OS it works but not from locked phone.

Just to be clear. With xposed and assistant enabler module you got it working from screen off? Cause I tried the said module in the mentioned ROM and it ain't working at all...

using xposed assistant enabler, i didn't make it work from screen-off without charger plugged in. tried several times, since the guide to enable it is tricky.

I am pretty sure it is a limitation of the chipset.

I had this same problem. I scratched my head after looking at the logs. The reason why it doesn't work is because the GMS (and other?) Google APKs were located on /data and not /System.
Move it to /system and it should work.

Can't remember properly what I did but definitely worked, MIUI tweak I think is also needed so you can properly add trusted voice.

Oops signed in with Google+

Working for me on the global rom from screen on. Go to the google app, settings, voice, "ok google" detection. Train it, if you havent, and enable the top two options (the third will then be enabled by default). Then, never open that section again. The next time you open it, it will switch back off - but it should be working if you enable the options then exit the google app. Works for me, even survives a reboot.

Is there any way to disable the samsung pay swipe up card thing?

I'm, using nova launcher's hidden nav bar and swipe up to pull it up.. but if I swipe in the bottom middle, samsung pay pops up. I don't see any option at all to turn that off anywhere.
HELP!

Did you look in the samsung pay app?? 3 dots and use favorite cards

Yep... And you have to have one active card... No way to remove it.

Have you tried disabling it?
Yeah I just disabled it and it went away.

I cant seem to find it to disable it... I'll look again. Is it called Samsung pay?
Edit: I was looking under batter to sleep it, and it looks like you have to disable it from the app list.
Thanks!

Just go to the Favorite cards area in the Samsung Pay app and disable them from use.

Is weird... I didn't have those options with the default included install. I installed again from the play store, and after installing it had to also install an update, and I DO now see those options!
I wonder if the default verizon install is a slightly different app, (probably worth Verizon snooping built in) lol!
At any rate, I still have it installed now so I can use that $5 debris, but it's not popping up every 2 minutes, so I'm a very happy camper!
To show my hidden Nav bar, here ya go. Swipe up, and it's transparent with visible buttons.

Chrome crashes with any module activated in edXposed

Hi,
I'm having some issues using edXposed on Android 11. As soon as I enable a module I can't open Chrome without it closing a few seconds later. The Google app works fine.
If I disable the modules chrome runs without a problem.
I have three modules enabled: edXposed manager, FingerFace and Exi for SwiftKey and it doesn't matter whether just one or all are enabled.
I've tried adding chrome to the blacklist and I've enabled "pass safetynet" but still nothing.
Any suggestions to what I should do?
Peter

I'm not having any issues, so I can't test this myself... but I heard about people turning off "Chrome Custom Tabs" in the Settings. Reading what it does, it doesn't make sense as to why it would cause an issue... but it doesn't hurt to try.

Thanks. Unfortunately it didn't work. It's very strange - now it worked for a period of about 12 hours and then it stopped working again. No changes, no reboot.

You have to turn off app list mode in exposed for Chrome to work normally.

Google Cast & "Coolwalk"

After seeing the articles about the new files being in the latest beta version I took a dive in and looked to see how to enable it. Here's some basic steps for that.
​1. You will need to be rooted and on the latest beta. "7.3.120244-release.daily"​2. Download a database editor, I used SQLite Editor.​3. Open SQLite and under "apps" section navigate to Google Play Services and open it.​4. Scroll down to phenotype.db and select it.​5. Look for "flags" and open it.​6. On the top select "set filter" input Coolwalk__enabled.​7. change all bootVal from 0 to 1.​8. Now search for cakewalk and do the same.​9. Lastly search for MirrorApp__enabled and change those.​
Now just restart your phone and connect to Android auto. You will need to enable coolwalk on the head unit settings. To switch from full screen and condensed press and hold the new UI home button. I need another phone to show off cast, but it does work. You just can't do Netflix/Hulu what not. You also need to be in park. I haven't found what to change to eliminate that. Anyone else wants to help give it a shot.
UPDATE: if you have sqlite3 installed with magisk you can also create a trigger like so in termux.
Code:
Su
Sqlite3
.open /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/phenotype.db
CREATE TRIGGER after_update
AFTER UPDATE ON Flags
BEGIN
UPDATE Flags SET boolVal=1 WHERE name='Coolwalk__enabled';UPDATE Flags SET boolVal=1 WHERE name='MirrorApp__enabled';UPDATE Flags SET boolVal=1 WHERE name LIKE 'Coolwalk__%' AND boolVal=0;
END;
​​

works fine, thank you

working! maps looks a bit bugged when navigation is on (can't see road indications) but probably is just a matter of time they fix it... thanks bro!!

I enabled all the flags but can't get the option...anything I'm missing? I'm on Android 12 and latest AA 7.3 beta

@niccotaglia are you using exactly the android auto version as described "7.3.120244-release.daily"? if not you should try this

I was using 7.3.120444. Will try 120244

Works great! I tried it on both the 7.3.120244 and the 7.3.120444 beta version and both worked. I did have to revert all the tweaks from AA AIO Tweaker and uninstall the app first to get it to work.

Still not working...I tried everything imaginable but nothing works.

Are you running any other Android Auto tweaks? Make sure your imputs are being saved before going on to the next one

I ended up nuking Play services data and starting from a fresh database. I used AIO Tweaker to enable it and now it works

Can someone give me more information about the Cast function?

Which option to use in AIO Tweaker to enable it? Did you still change the boolVal using SQLEditor for play service?

These 3. And no, i didn't do any manual database editing

Perhaps we can use the cast function for Screen2Auto and Fermata in the future as Google always tries to block 3rd party apps.

Yes, I randomly got the same black screen too, although the bottom bar is still visible/clickable. Restart AA will be back to normal. I think it's just a bug in the AA beta.
