Fire 7 Not rooted with launch hijacker and nova launcher Widget Help

Hi All,
I have a Fire 7 which i am using solely for a media and smart home remote. I specifically chose this device as it is cheap and had the alexa built into the home button.
I have made some changes to the device but not rooted it as don't want to completely loose some of the amazon features i.e. home button press for alexa.
I have installed play store and hijack launcher and have nova launcher installed. I find that some some widgets work and some don't. I am struggling with IFTTT widget and beautiful widgets at the mo. basically i install them either via the app store or an .apk and when click on the widget and try to place it on the homescreen it throws up the tablet settings menu, if i exit this it does not add the widget? can anyone advise why this is or if it can be solved. If i add a RM pluggin tasker widget it lets me and allows me to setup the button but but for the other two it doesn't?
any help appreciated.
regards jon

Hi All.
Well I have manager to find a link on her to sort widgets out which was a great find so thanks to dragonfire1024. so thank you very much for the info on the following link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd...d-launcher-t3637813/post73056260#post73056260
I have one further question and I am not sure what i have changed to cause this. The screen never goes to sleep just remains permanently on.
if i go to settings, display, i have a setting called display sleep mode which you can set but this only dims the screen and does not turn it off? an suggestions?

Why is one button nav disabled on the Android One version?

I got my X4 yesterday, and tried to enable one button navigation, but the option isn't listed anywhere. The Moto site says it's disabled. Is there any reason why? Could it be enabled with a ROM?

I have no idea, I contacted Motorola about the issue and they say it has nothing to do with them and I should contact Google. When I contacted Google they say it has to do with the app and I should contact Motorola...

You can enable it with Nova launcher, but when you do, you lose the nav bar, and the only way to get it back is a factory reset (so far).
Create a widget in Nova launcher.

Launch it. Do the tutorial. Can't remember if it crashes or not at the end. But you have to reboot phone. After reboot, nav bar will be gone, and you will be using one tough navigation.

You are the man! Worked perfectly thanks so much!

Thanks!!

Yep, thanks! Don't know why I would ever want to reenable the nav bar.

You can also use QuickShortcutMaker to do this
Go to Moto Action
com.motorola.actions.tutorial.onenav.OneNavTutorialActivity
Follow the tutorial and at the end click on activate to enable the feature

Will this also enable "Moto Key"? I'd like to enable this for use on my android 1 so I can unlock my windows computer with my fingerprint.

After the tutorial I selected to enable it and then I rebooted. The nav bar is gone but the one touch isn't working. It's impossible to work the phone without the back button and home button.

Try rebooting it again? Or go thru the steps again and make sure it's actually enabled. I've been using it with no problems for over 2 months now.
Or try the widget the other person mentioned.

I went through the tutorial again and this time it didn't crash and as soon as it was done the button started working. Now after several reboots it's still working fine.
The one thing I noticed is that there are no settings for this available in the moto app and no matter what I do I can't get the phone to sleep like in the tutorial. The rest seems to work.

It happened to me, just do the tutorial again.

Is there a way to turn this off and re-enable the nav bar? I'd like to know if it's possible without doing a hard reset.

I’m also curious about this. I used the quickshortcutmaker method

I guess that the reason is the Android One program, which has to follow strictly stock Android behaviour (which does not include any kind of fingerprint sensor navigation).

1. Does this still work with oreo?
2. Is it reversible?

1. Yes. Just run adb shell "am start -n com.motorola.actions/com.motorola.actions.tutorial.onenav.OneNavTutorialActivity" twice through without rebooting.
2. You need to erase the data for Moto app in order to revert it.

Yep, that worked. Funny that my wife just started complaining about that the fingerprint sensor should be the home button so just in time. For the "erase the data," do you mean "Clear Data" in the app settings?

You need to do a factory reset, not clear the data and cache in the Moto app.

Does this activity exist as of the 8.1 update? I cannot find the activity using the Nova shortcut method. Have not tried the ADB method, as you have to do a workaround to get ADB in this version.

Because an app is obscuring a permission request... when trying to USB Debug Website

I have an unrooted/unchanged/stock Huawei P10 running EMUI 5.1 and am trying to debug a website I'm making. Latest Chrome on the P10 and latest Chrome on my Retina MacBook Pro 15'' (late 2013) High Sierra 10.13
The route worked on all my previous devices. USB Debugging is checked on, I plug in the cable and say yes to the prompt "Allow Access to device data?". Next prompt "Allow USB Debugging" -> OK gives me the following error: "An App is obscuring a permission request. Settings can't verify your response"
Looking for solutions I read stuff about background apps which mess up things. All I know of / remember installing is "Mi Band Tools", and "Pie Controls".
I tried to shut down "Mi Band Tools" via Settings -> Apps -> Mi Band Tools -> "Stop" – But it seems not to be stopped for long? Since I don't know if this would solve the problem anways, I figured to come here first. It would be great if I wouldn't have to uninstall these apps.. always a pain to restore etc.
Thank you very much!

I had the same problem with my Huawei Honor View10.
I had to uncheck the "Permit drawing over other apps" for a (in my case) JINA Drawer. Maybe you have to uncheck an other one...
In EMUI 8 = Settings - Apps - Apps & notifications - Apps - Settings (bottom of screen) - Special access - Draw over other apps
Good luck!

Holy Moly.. this setting is hidden as hell; on my P10 running EMUI 5.1 (german), the setting path was:
settings > apps > settings (corg button at the bottom left) > special access > draw over other apps > talkback

Yes! On my device Mate 1o Pro, it was Talkback as well that ¨obscured a permission request¨.

If you have a custom rom with Smart Pixels and it is turned on, it will do this also. Turn it off, retry,

help please
im using honor 7x with latest oreo update and running on emui 8.0

Fix #2 - if it works
i was messing with my Samsung Galaxy J7 Core J701F/DS and I was trying to figure out your problem also because i got the same problem as yours so the thing that worked for me is going to Settings (Nougat 7.0/1)> Apps> 3-dot menu/optionsl settings/other settings> Special Access> Apps that can be on top> Disable all apps like literally disable them all and try to debug your phone again...if it works, enable apps in that setting one by one and repeat debugging process. If it doesnt work, disable the last app you enabled, and if it works again...that is the app that is doing the dirty work...mine was not in the system apps it was one of my apps which is AZ Screen Recorder lol....(why the app that is being used everyday need to be disabled....)

1. Apps such as Blue light filter apps constantly appear on the top of your screen thus breaking some of the on screen functionalities. Try disabling display over other apps permission of such apps and you should be fine.
2. Also, sometimes it is because of your custom launcher, so try switching to your stock launcher if above solutions don't work.
3. If Accessibility for some apps are on then try disabling them first.
PS : Of all the 3 solutions try the possible ones.
Hope it helps.

This put me on the right track.
I have an LG G6 running Android 8.0. My Keeper Security app needs permission to Draw over other apps and since around December 2018 it has started acting 'flaky'. The app would warn me that I need to turn on this permission, but when I clicked "OK" in the Keeper app to take me to the Android setting for the app, it was always turned on. I could turn it ON/OFF, along with the setting that needed this permission in the Keeper app (called Keeper Fill) and eventually get it to work again, but it would always break again very soon after.
As I am getting ready to go on a trip, I installed Google's Datally app. It, too, wants me to turn on Draw over other apps, but when I tap "next" to be taken to the Android settings page to enable Draw over other apps, nothing happens (I usually expect an app detects it has been enabled and gives "success" message).
So I started disabling the 3 possible suspects listed by kapil1100. I had LG's Comfort View and some Accessibility options enabled, so I turned them off and: no change.
I disabled all other apps that have permission to Draw over other apps via: Settings > Apps & notifications > Special access > Draw over other apps, and: no change.
I use Evie launcher, so I went back to the stock one: no change.
I got thinking about what else could be modifying/accessing the screen and realized that LG has custom Home touch buttons.
I went to: Settings > Display > Home touch buttons > Hide Home touch buttons and DISABLED Show lock/hide icon and then tried enabling Draw over other apps for Datally and IT WORKED!.
I was then able to turn Show lock/hide icon back ON and everything has been working as expected. I suspect that, because I had Show lock/hide icon turned on during an upgrade, something got messed up and my turning it OFF and back ON fixed the issue.
I hope this helps someone!

Non Root ADB Full Immersive Mode

Hi Kings and Queens of XDA.
Since updating to Oreo, the adb command that enables full immersive mode system wide, no longer works on the homepage, but still does in apps.
Question is, does anyone know of a workaround?
This is driving me nuts. Yes I know, 1st world problem, but all the same....
Thanks in advance for any input.

Tried this, doesn't work for me. I was getting glitches whereby the screen wasn't refreshing properly when going back and forth from the apps draw and some other weird stuff.
Had to uninstall the app and still the problem wasn't solved till I did a reinstall of the system.
But thanks anyway.

Nova Launcher Prime and Nougat/Oreo Quick Settings work for me. This will only hide the status bar if you use the stock launcher.

Yeah, that's the thing, I actually like touchwiz /UI 9000.0, or whatever Sammy's calling it today.
Just want full immersive on homepages, status and navigation bars just distract from the minimalist look.
Thanks though.

you may wanna try this.

The way we used to set navigation bar's height to 0 DOES NOT work anymore!!!
Here I want to share a way that I use to remove the annoying nav bar WITHOUT ROOT.
If you are interested, you can try it. I currently have a SAMSUNG NOTE 8 UNLOCKED running Android 8.0
I discovered this method based on luisshnyder's method (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/remove-oreo-navbar-completely-t3772217), but I did more to resolve some problems he didn't mention.

After using my method, what's working:
1. A full screen with no navigation bar in any circumstance even in landscape mode or input method pops up.
2. Hard press working all the time, including when the phone is locked, screen off or unlocked status.
3. Screen capture working and also scrolling screen capture working (many users want this!)
4. You can swipe or other gestures to perform go back, home, recent app or many other functions.
What's not working:
The lock screen shortcuts cannot be displayed correctly under WQHD resolution.
Overall, you need the following software
1) Android 8.0 Oreo installed
2) All in one gesture (Free, in PlayStore)
3) FloatingMenu 6.1.9 (Free, but Pro Version works much better, don't use PlayStore version, use the apk attached)
4) All necessary software needed to run adb commands. You may need to learn how to install and use adb command line.
Now let's start:
0. Go back to your phone's default settings if you tried any other methods before (ignore this if you didn't).
1. Go to Seetings -> Display -> Navigation bar, UNcheck "Show and hide button".
2. Install All in one gesture.
2.1. Configure this app's settings in the way you like. I use 12 Hotspots Straight Swipe and make Bottom, Left, Center to be Recent, Home and Back.
2.2. Go to Personalization -> Edge Preference, Leave Opacity as it is, we'll deal with it later. set other scrollbars the way you like, I use the following value: Edge Sensitivity 50px, Edge Width 100%.
3.3. Go back to Personalization, make sure Auto Rotation is checked, while Behind Keyboard is UNchecked. For me, to make it better, I also Unchecked Toast Message and checked Animation.
3. Install FloatingMenu 6.1.9, DO NOT use PlayStore version, use the apk attached.
3.1. Configure your bottom bar the way you like, but make sure the Height is more than 200. You may need to buy the Pro version to use all three bottom bars.
3.2. Go to Settings, make sure you UNcheck "Reposition when IME appears", and set "Auto hide when landscape" to "Hide all".
3.3. Go to Advanced settings, make sure you UNcheck "Max window level", and check "Cover softKeyboard".
4. Plug-in your phone to a computer with adb environment, make sure USB debugging is ON. (Learn more about adb if you don't know this before operating)
5. In the command line, run: adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.samsung.android.app.smartcapture
6. In the command line, run: adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-168
7. Fully test your phone, then make the bottom bar transparent to make it more beautiful.
8. For users who use WQHD resolution only: Go to Settings -> Lock screen and Security -> App shortcuts, then turn off both shortcuts.
9. Sometimes you need to reboot your devices.
=========================================================================================
If you want to undo the effect you made by the above two adb commands, here are the two "Recover Commands":
adb shell settings put global policy_control null
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
=========================================================================================
Please reply below if you have any questions. I will come and answer regularly.
Thank you!

what do you mean by not working? the bottom bar didn't show up?

Hello. I have question.
If i set gestures from bottom, will be delay between two swipes?
Now I use immersive mode via adb + andromeda to hide navbar and first "back" gesture work normally but if i want do fast second swipe - (2x back in browser) it not work. It acts like showing invisible bar and second gesture work when hide it.

Maybe I'm not understanding the issue so forgive me if what i recommend doesn't help. The way i get system wide immersive mode is by using the bxActions app and linking the Bixby button to enable immersion mode when pressed twice quickly, this way i can still use Bixby if need be. The immersion mode works on games, FB, other social media and the home screen.You'll have to get it working through ADB only once then you should be good to go after that.

Samsung Experience home keeps stopping....

i upgraded to Pie 9 (One UI) official update. But after restarting the home screen won't come. It continuosly says "Samsung Experience Home keeps stopping" and gives option ..App Info ...Close App and Send Feedback.
I basically can;t use my phone. I can't get into Phone or any App. Phone bricked!

Do you get a chance to go to settings and maybe uninstall updates for SEH app or swap to Easy mode. Does it work if you boot in Safemode? As last restort, you might have to factory reset (make a backup using smartswitch if pos.)

No even settings malfunctions. I cannot go to the app screen, where i see the apps. How to boot in safemode?

Safe mode doesnt allow me to uninstall anything under Samsung Experience Home

Can you change to Easy mode so that it circumvents SEH ? Then once out of safe mode try to uninstall updates for SEH or download another launcher and set it as default. You are not using any themes by any chance?

Luckily i had Nova Launcher. When i exited Safe MOde and rebooted it asked me whether it should use Nova or SEH. I chose Nova "Always" and phone is back on

Here's the solution according to Samsung. See screenshot.

Also if you use one hand operations+ , disabling its animations FC the launcher for me.
