Hi guys,
I just rooted my galaxy note 4(sprint) and Superuser won't grant permissions to apps that need root. I followed the instructions on the CF-Auto root page and watched the XDA video walk-through thoroughly but nothing seems to work out. In the Root Checker Basic app I manage to get to the Superuser Request dialog, but I can't click the grant button. I did see the big red android icon during the flashing process. I updated the Supersu app through the play store and that didn't solve the problem either. So far I have attempted rooting using CF-Auto root about 4 times with the same results. I would greatly appreciate any help in solving this problem.
If you use Lux or any brightness control apps, they can draw a screen overlay that won't let you select either option in the SU pop up. You can still grant permission in the app itself, or temporarily turn off the brightness app.

The reason you don't see these is that the Android team moved the NFC enable/disable setting into the secure settings in 2.3.5. Prior to then there were a few NFC toggle widgets on the market. Now those apps would need WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS (so you're looking at only devices with root access willing to make your app a system app or JB+ devices where you can request it from the package manager with root access).

I don't think that there's a solution for automatic NFC turm om. What is more, it's not really safe.

I don't auto-turn on NFC. You can create an app that does this if you just have it request WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS and then either use root to grant that permission via the package manager or copy/move it to /system/app

System settings --> more --> nfc [check/uncheck]
Or..
system settings --> system --> quick settings panel --> tiles and layout --> add --> nfc, then its on your quick settings panel.
I too would like to see a way of turning the NFC on and off without the manual prompt - like you can with bluetooth.
It appears that you cant do this because its "unsafe" and because of this reason they've also made NFC not work while the screen is off although some crafty people have realized this kind of defeats the purpose of having NFC and for some phones they've enabled NFC to work with lock screen closed (see link)
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/activate-nfc-at-any-time/
I can kind of see how its unsafe to be able to turn it on without acknowledgement - but if you could setup a rule that required Root access then this should be a reasonable stop gap? You would then be able to setup a rule in say "automateit" for example so that the NFC turns on and off during certain times or after certain rules are activated or stopped - this would then kind of make safe because you can turn the NFC off and know for sure its off after certain events have occurred.
I know this is a very debatable subject but I think its a good subject to debate.
I use shortcutter app from play store. Although you have to grant the relevant permission via adb.
I just got the S4, an upgrade to my old LG G2X. Just had a question.
On my G2X, I had it stock rooted and somehow was able to modify permissions for each app from the settings. I would click on the app and scroll down to the bottom and see all the permissions for the app. I could tap each permission individually and it put a white line through the permission disabling it. I don't remember if it was app or kernel or something that aloud me to that and trying find if someone knows what I am talking about and if it would work for the S4?

You can do that using root explorer or rom toolbox. Change apps permissions to different settings if that's what you mean.
Hi,
I noticed that the allow-buttom when an app requests SU is not clickable! I just can click deny and later allow it in the Superuser settings! Anyone else having this problem? Might it be a Theme-Problem?
Thanks!!
Its a problem with an overlay app. Are you using lux, screen filter, or something similar? This is a safety feature in android to prevent 'tapjacking'
#stayparanoid
Enable "Declared permission" in Superuser app and try again.
I have got this weird problem with the Nexus 5x. When I install a new app it asks for permissions and I can't tap allow but I can tap deny. It is not a problem with the touch since I have tried in landscape and portrait mode. Everytime I have to manually go to settings and allow permission(from settings) for each app I install. I'm running marshmallow with June security patch. Very irritating. Any fix?
For me (Nexus 5) it started right after I installed android 6.0 June patch. For the moment can't find any workarounds only manually opening app settings and allowing permission

do you use any app that works via overlays? for example an app that dyes your screen in the evening/at night?
such an app, to my knowledge, would trigger a security feature of android that would prevent the user from accepting, say, installation confirmation.

Nope. I haven't used any app like that on this devwce till now. (Eg.screen filter)
EDIT: Thanks for your keyword (screen overlay)!. It is a problem called 'screen overlay' which is a common issue in marshmallow. These links gave me the solution.

I am having this same problem since latest update, its really annoying i can hit deny but not allow! How do we fix this crap! My stock phone isnt working right whats up with that?
Other kinds of overlay can be the "chat bubbles" from Facebook Messenger or Flynx tabs.

Just checked the Google Nexus forum and they say that there's an app called "File Manager" from Cheetah Mobile that it's causing this issue. Check if this is what's happening to you too and remove that app.

For me it's Lux, which also uses overlays. I have to pause it every time for things like this.
I had the same problem yesterday. As far as I know, I don't use any app that can cause the "screen overlay" problem, anyway it seems that clearing cache and dalvik solved the problem for me, at least for now..
EDIT: never mind, problem reappeared. I had to switch off all the apps in the "draw on other apps" menu..
EDIT 2: found the culprit: gravity screen.
Mine is velis auto brightness i believe
In my case it was the File Manager extension. Go to settings -> search for "draw over other apps" -> disable it for File Manager.
Potentially it is any app the draws over app. Just go into app permissions and write down every non google app that asks for draw over other app permission. Then disable all of them to see if the problem goes away. Then reenable one by one until the problem comes back.
In MTC19Z they no longer have the Allow permission that can't be tapped. Instead they have a warning that it won't continue until you disable the app that is drawing over screen (but they don't tell you which app that is). It is slightly less confusing, but equally annoying to have to figure out which app that is, then to turn off the offending app each time, then re-enable it.
Facebook Messenger bubbles are overlay
I don't think it's overlay
If it was an overlay it would be over the whole screen, but I can actually press the "Deny" button.
Anyway I disabled Twilight, the only app I have with overlay - no results
BTW, if your Nexus rolled off of it's 18 months support - it's time to install a custom ROM before the planned obsolescence machine kicked in

What you describe is exactly the behavior with overlay after june update. I don't think it is the overlay per se, but a bug in the warning mechanism blocking your button.
In july update they changed to a promot that links you to the overlay permission page.
i am also having the same problem..using honor 8...can't click on allow permission..
Hi there.
I seem to have a problem to turn on permission on my Huawei Watch. When I try to use Google Fit Heart Rate monitor, watch ask me for permission for vital signs, I choose allow, then I get screen:
"Screen overlay dete...
To change this permission setting, you first have to turn off the screen overlay from Settings > Apps"
and
"Open settings" button, which doesn't work.
Has anyone got solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance.:good:

If you are using a mini launcher, that causes it. Uninstall the launcher.

Thanks, it was one of paid watch faces, I set to one preinstalled, turn on allowance and put the watch face back on. Everything now works as it should.
Thanks, your life saver! :good:
Yeah, I have the same problem myself, I install "Wear Mini Launcher" yesterday and now I get that error message appear when I try and use the Runway watch face.
I have "uninstalled" Wear Mini Launcher from my phone but I still have the watch face in my list of faces and no amount of "hide on app" gets rid of that error message!!!
How the f do I uninstall it fully??

I has the exact same problem and solved it by uninstalling Mini Launcher!

I've had the same problem. I just about gave up! Thanks for the solution. Have you found a good replacement launcher, or just stock?
you can install it again after allow few permissions what you need...
First, I uninstalled mini-launcher. This failed. Then I found the answer under the watches settings. Settings / Permissions / then give the programs access to your sensors or storage. Set the program that I wanted to have access, in this case, insta-weather to take my heart rate on the watch face; it worked. I then installed mini-launcher again (a great launcher program) and everything works fine. The permission settings are not on your phone they are on your watch.
