So I used an auto start manager to block some apps from starting but now when I try to enable them, it tells me that root is required. I am rooted but this is driving me crazy. Does anyone know how to manually change this?

Hey guys,
Downloaded the transparent geniewidget and overwrite/backup the original one in the /system/app folder - using super manager app (rooted with visionary). Did an install and everything works fine..(background is transparent).
However upon phone reboot, background is not transparent anymore..(Had to repeat the process above to get background transparency)..It seems that the original file is automatically reinstalled upon reboot (Can't even find my backup file anymore). What did i do wrong here?
Did you enable root access in super manager?
That's all I can think of.
It's one of the first options in the settings.
I would also suggest that you disable super manager's task killer and power management functions.
You might also try tapping on geniewidget apk once it's in system/app and installing it, even though it should work without installing it that way I think that might sometimes help.

I don't have super manager installed right now, that is one way to disable it's management functions btw (uninstall it)
I used super manager before there was a lite version, so maybe things are a little different now, there were a couple of settings I would turn off related to task killing and there was an app2sd reminder function.
I am really fumbling around in the dark myself so take anything I say with a grain of salt.
You should try putting the geniewidget I made (or the other one in the thread) in /data/app as well as system/app.
Try installing it from there too.
Although I just re-checked, and putting the apk in system/app alone did the job for me.
I've never had the probem exactly the way you describe it but I have run into the problem where I haven't found the correct file to rename and then the new file does nothing. I haven't seen the problem manifest on reboot, it just doesn't work.
Make sure you have found geniewidget or com.geniewidget (I forget the exact name), rename it to xxxapk.bak.
Is it still there after your reboot as xxxapk.bak?

Nope its gone.
I have rooted my phone however when I install setCPU the application is unable to obtain root access. I have to tried to grant access to the application in the Superuser application however, the application does not seem to allow that option.
BTW, I have search both google and the forum to see if there was a fix for this before posting this message.
Any advise or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

Used to happen once in a while when I used to use SetCPU.
Try this:
1. In superuser, delete the entry for set cpu. (I would suggest reinstalling super user app.)
2. If u have any protection apps like protector pro, disable that.
3. Run the setcpu app. This should now prompt superuser dialog.
4. Grant access and make sure u have check box selected to grant access always.
Reinstalling super user app always resolved this issue for me.
I have an AT&T Galaxy Tab and my only issue is the inability to install programs outside of the Market (such as the new Amazon App store). I know I can root the device and then enable it, but I really don't want my device rooted at this time. So, the question is, if I root it and enable the install of unknown programs and then unroot it, will the ability to install non-market programs remain or will it reset? Thanks.
Problem hopefully solved. I will attempt to use ADB to sideload the application.
Hi all
I've run into this this morning just to realize that it had happened before :
swapper2 app, which has had root access since I installed it (of course), requested root access but under the name "swapper2 [uid]".
I granted the access and checked in SuperSU, the app appears twice, once as "swapper2" and once as "swapper2 [uid]".
There is another app with "double root access" : catlog.
Can someone explain why this is so, and whether I should worry or not ?
For the moment, I removed the second root access of both apps.
It's a quirk in how these apps request root access. If the first time the [uid] variant showed up was when actually using those apps, then there is nothing to worry about.
Open supersu go to settings uncheck Re-authentication
I don't want to uncheck re-auth, I want to be that the apk running with root is the one I allowed to run with root.
Those two apps where not updated, swapper2 was sideloaded, I don't think it's available on the play store.
Hi! Is there any way to manage permissions in more advanced way in EMUI 4.1.2? For example I would like to grant access to read contacts and to deny to modify them instead of grant full access to contacts. Do I need to use 3rd party app to achieve that?

I don't know if this is doable at all, but you definitely can't do that with EMUI alone. The best privacy manager I know is the Xprivacy module from the Xposed repository, but it doesn't allow such a thing.

There has to be a way. I was able to manage permissions in advanced way on my previous phone with 5.1.1 on board...
This app can allow you to do more refined permission control and doesn't require root - you need to run an adb command to start it, but its changes remain even after the app is stopped.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rikka.appops
It allows the refined control you want - read contacts but disallow modification of contacts.
Hope it helps! I've tried it on my Honor 8 and it works.
