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.

Hello.
The problem is that after I deactivate some application in the Device administration, after rebooting the applicatioan is granted for permissions again.
I also tried to stop these applications before removing from Device administration, but it does not solve the problem.
Phone: Google Nexus One
ROM: CM7.2 2013.10.28.2353-N1 KANG (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723844)
Step to reproduce:
1. Force stop the application (for example "Power Toggles")
2. Setting -> Security -> Device Administrators --> "Power Toggles" --> Dectivate
3. Reboot the phone
4. Setting -> Security -> Device Administrators --> "Power Toggles" is checked (activated as Device administrator)
P.S.: I can't report about this issue in the KANG's rom thread because I don't have a sufficient amount of posts, and it is possible that the problem is not related to the KANG's rom only.
P.P.S.: sory for my English.
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?
I'm sure some of you have seen this error: "There is a problem parsing the package" when trying to install an APK.
I have the Chinese [CN] variant of this phone running Realme UI.
I get this error with ALL apk packages. Can someone help me solve this conundrum? :crying:
The APKs where downloaded from Chrome Browser and resides in my Downloads folder, which I open with my default File Manager
Things I have tried (Tried to install on both ON/OFF states):
Settings > Additional Settings > Device & Privacy > Unknown Source installation: Ticked App Market; Bluetooth; Browser; Chrome; Download Management; File Manager; Game Center; System UI.
Settings > Additional Settings > Device & Privacy > Installation Authentication: Verify app installations not from App Marker (The only other option here is Verify installations from all sources)
Settings > Additional Settings > Device & Privacy > Secure Apps Recommendations: Turn off
Developer Options: USB Debugging ON/OFF
Developer Options: Disable Permissions Monitoring ON/OFF - Apps from Play Store does not install when it is "ON"

same issue do you know how to fix it?
Many people asked how to do this withoput needing an internet connection, a xiaomi account and the simcard inside the phone.
I am glad to tell you I found a simple way.
In MIUI 13:
Go in developer mode and enable USB debugging (the normal one).
Then go to Privacy Protection >> Special permissions
From this menu select first Modify System Settings then the small more button at the bottom of the page and tap Show System
Scroll down to Shell, tap on it and enable it.
Now go back to Privacy Protection >> Special permissions and
select Install unknown apps >> More >> Show System
Scroll all the way down to Shell andenable Allow from this source

It sounds like the control center blur on your Oneplus 5 phone may be a graphical glitch caused by the November security patch. Here are a few things you can try to fix this issue:
Restart your phone: Sometimes, simply restarting your phone can fix minor graphical glitches and other issues.
Check for updates: Make sure that you have the latest version of the Set Edit app and any other apps that you are using. Updating to the latest version may fix the control center blur issue.
Clear the cache: Clearing the cache of the Set Edit app and any other apps that you are using may help to fix the issue. To do this, go to "Settings > Apps & notifications > See all apps > Set Edit > Storage > Clear cache."
Reset the app: If clearing the cache does not fix the issue, you can try resetting the Set Edit app. To do this, go to "Settings > Apps & notifications > See all apps > Set Edit > Storage > Clear data."
Factory reset: If none of the above steps work, you may need to factory reset your phone. Please note that this will erase all data on your phone, so make sure to back up any important files before proceeding. To factory reset your phone, go to "Settings > System > Reset options > Erase all data (factory reset)."
I hope these suggestions help to fix the control center blur issue on your Oneplus 5 phone. If you continue to have problems, you may want to consider reaching out to the developers of the Set Edit app or contacting Oneplus customer support for further assistance.
