How can I prevent the in call screen app from rotating? I'm using rotation manager but the app doesn't show up, even though I installed it as a user app.

I am using QQ Launcher because both on the lock screen and dock it adds an indicator as to the number of missed calls and/or unread SMS messages. I could get this functionality using other apps but together they would use more memory than QQ Launcher alone. Aside from that it's a very attractive launcher.
My problem is with the lockscreen I have installed. It displays a disc in the middle of the screen. When you touch the ring you see a display of four icons: call, messaging, home and camera. All of these *except* for the camera work as expected. When I select the camera the app launches as expected but instead of the thumbnail of the photo taken previously, it shows a Cancel button. When I press the shutter button the camera app responds as normal but immediately after I have three buttons: OK, Cancel and Retake. If I touch OK the camera readies itself to take another photo. The problem is that in fact no photo is recorded. It certainly works if I unlock the screen *then* launch the camera app and take the photo. I just can't understand where these weird extra buttons appear from since they're don't usually appear. I am certain I have only 1 camera app installed.
Phone is rooted but stock ROM. I can't get incoming text messages or emails to be read via TTS no matter what I try. I remember it worked a long time ago. I'm using Widget Locker for lock Screen with slider and Nova Launcher and GoSMS Pro for SMS. Checked settings under Accessibility and Google Text-to-speech engine is selected and Driving Mode slider is ON. So here's what I've tried and it has made not difference.
- Put phone into Driving Mode via toggle
- Put phone into Driving Mode AND "Car Mode" via Llama event
- Freeze GoSMS Pro via TB to force use of stock Messaging App
- Check stock Messaging app settings: Notification=ON
- Turn Widget Locker OFF (so no slider or passcode needed)
I tried all of these things in various combinations and nothing would activate the TTS for incoming text messages.
Any other suggestions?
I stumbled across a thread from last year and some others had the same problem and found it worked when they ran S-Voice. I have my double tap home mapped to Google Voice Search instead of S-Voice so I never use it. I launched S-Voice, and then TTS works. However, if I do long press and swipe S-Voice away from the open apps list, the TTS stops working.
Having to remember to keep S-Voice running seems ridiculous. Guess I'll have to go with a third party app and hope it works with GoSMS.
I absolutely love Textra and have grown quite attached to the interface and the pop-up notifications that are built in. I do however have one issue that I cannot seem to crack.
With pop up notifications enabled for both screen on and screen off I get the nice built textra pop-up window for both. This works fantastic with the screen on but with the screen off I receive both the textra pop-up and the system notification (default that links to textra). The only way I have been able to alevoage this is to shut off the textra notifications on the lock screen. This leaves me stuck with the more limited default pop-up. What I would like to be able to do is shut off the system notifications instead of textra.
I have always already blocked all "messages " (stock app) notifications and frozen the app.

On Textra settings check that you have both Notifications for Locked and Unlocked on with your preferred option, then go to Sounds and Notifications in the Phone Settings and go to App Notifications look for Textra and turn on the Block Notifications option, it will do what you want I have it exactly that way and it works great.
I had a problem with Waze...so I uninstalled and then reinstalled it. When I open it up....it does the normal "Allow Waze to access this device's location?" So I select ALLOW and then I get this "Screen overlay detected" prompt. Says I have to first turn off the screen overlay from Settings> Apps OPEN SETTINGS ....so I hit the open settings and then it goes to the Draw over the other apps "Enabled list" of apps. I then scroll down to waze and it is already set to No...or off. I tap on Waze and then the draw over setting shows the toggle set to off....and also grayed out.
This happens with several apps......I have never had to deal with this "Draw over other apps" setting on any android device I have had yet to date. I had been using the Nexus 6 prior to the G4 and never had this problem with Overlay settings or the draw over apps thing. So I am perplexed at this....is this something that has come about more from Marshmallow?
Any help with getting some of my apps to get past this to start would be very appreciative...thanks!
bump....
Same problem here with a G3
I'm having the exact same issue with Waze on a G3.
I guess you have an app that is using overlays, like Lux Lite or the likes to setup brightness or color. Give that app the permission and your troubles should be over.

I've got the same problem. But I've set it to allow Twilight permission, and is still doing that endless loop with the greyed-out bit mentioned above.
I got it to work by turning overlay OFF for Twilight.. but then Twilight doesn't work. Why is this app even checking for overlays? Waze gets to be uninstalled for this treason.
So frustrated
I don't use Waze, but this same issue has rendered my G4 a nuisance rather than a useful tool. For example, I cannot add nor edit contacts because my contact list doesn't have permission to access my calendar (which shouldn't matter), but I cannot grant that permission because of screen overlay. I can't add anything to my calendar from my phone because of screen overlay. Custom ringtone... nope. Screen overlay. Essentially anything that involved editing, adding, or deleting of any kind is verboten because of this screen overlay nonsense.
I have tried turning off screen overlay to all apps that will allow me to, but some are grayed out and unable to be changed but they appear to be off. I can't even imagine what app I have installed that would use it so I can target it specifically and uninstall it altogether. Is there a fix for this other than turning it off for all apps? Maybe an app or bit of code that suppresses it?
Thank you in advance.
Does anyone have issues with pop up notifications on top of the screen for some apps? Some app notifications pop on top of the screen but for some app only the statusbar notification works. Anyone knows a fix for this.

try Heads-up Notifications by Simen.codes from playstore
Hey thanks for that buddy. The app working. But why is it not working for some app and not for others by default, should be an error right?

I had the same problem. I have some apps set to a silent notification; I still want to get the pop-up but I don't want to be interrupted. Seems to be a bug in either Samsung's or Google's implementation of the pop-up notification system. If you use the "silent" or no sound option, you won't get a pop-up. They might have tied the event listener to an audio file.
Fix: I downloaded a blank .mp3 and added that to my notification folder. It technically 'plays' a sound and triggers the pop-up. The default or built-in "Silent" doesn't seem to work, but a silent mp3 file works fine .
