Ever since I flashed the Pure Nexus rom on the 5x then overlays for the Google Authenticator and Microsoft Accounts don't show.
What I mean with overlays is those drop down thingies with the accept/approve button so allow the access.
With the google authenticator I have to go in and manually copy a code and with the Microsoft one If I open it I see the request and can then approve it..
Is this an issue with the rom or is there a setting I missed?

Hi Guys,
I've long used password apps on the PC that integrate with the browser/chrome to auto-fill passwords.
However I'd like to find one for my Android devices that does the same thing. All the password apps I've tried so far require you to use their own in-built mini browser if you want this functionality.
Does anyone know of a password app for Android that integrates with Chrome?
Or is it not possible for an app to have this level of integration? I would have thought it would be possible, as an input method like the keyboard apps etc...
Many thanks
Chrome by itself can remember them and synchronize with multiple devices. Just activate it in settings.

You can do this with Dolphin Browser and his Lastpass plugin.
LastPass will integrate with everything (not just Chrome), as it gives you a new keyboard that auto-fills passwords. Just install the app and when select the text-entry box for you username or password you can swipe-down on the notification bar and change your keyboard to LastPass. Hit the LastPass button on the keyboard and it will automatically fill in your username and/or password.
As I understand it, Chrome for Android doesn't have a fully functional plugin interface that will let applications build an interface like they can for Dolphin.
Is there an option to remove that widget from homescreen?
There must be a solution to this without using a different launcher.
No, if you search on the Mi A1 forum (basically the same device), nobody found a way to remove the search bar from the stock launcher, because it is hard-coded.
The only way is using another launcher (Nova recommended) or modify the stock launcher apk to remove the bar, and replace it.
Maybe this works?
Disable the Google App
Danielle Furry recommends disabling the Google app in settings, which works for a range of Android versions. Here's how it works:
Open Settings, then open Apps
In the All apps list, find Google app, or just Google, tap it and select disable
Reboot your phone and the search bar should be gone!
If you disable the Google app, don't worry about breaking your phone. Apps like Google Play Services are essential for your system (unless you build your OS outside of Google's ecosystem), but your other apps will work fine without the Google app.
Do be warned however, the Google Assistant and voice search depend on the Google app, so disabling the Google app will also negatively affect dependent services such as Google Home, Google Lens, and Google's notifications about weather and transport, for example.

Worked for me. I used Nova Launcher Prima to remap the center button to open the app drawer instead of launching any Googly stuff. This frees up space to put more apps on the bottom row.

Waiting for TWRP and then will freeze google app with Titanium. That always worked in my case

For me it's not a solution but just a workaround
After many years of using Samsung phones, I just switched to a Google Pixel 3XL (which is rooted with the stock ROM). While the new phone seems to be quite good, there are some minor ‘issues’ that have cropped up – most probably due to my familiarity with the Samsung devices…
Merging contacts: Using MyPhoneExplorer, I imported my Outlook contacts into the phone. I also configured LinkedIn so that those contacts would also go into the contact list. Unlike the Samsung phone, the Pixel did a much better job of merging contacts. However, it missed a few and I cannot figure out how to manually merge them. How is this done?
Keyboard: One of the Samsung features I miss the most is being able to long-press letter keys to get symbols, e.g., long-press ‘a’ to get ‘@’. The Pixel approach of having to switch to a separate keyboard is annoying. Is there some way to enable the long-press functionality?
Image gallery: The default image gallery on the Pixel is Google photos, but I have no interest in sync’ing stuff with the cloud. The Samsung phone came with a really simple gallery app which met my needs. Is there such an app on the Pixel that I missed? If not, what gallery app do you recommend?
Aspect ratio: The ‘images’ for two of my apps, specifically the widget for Weather Underground and Enjoy Sudoku, are elongated – they should be square but are appearing as rectangles. Is there any way to adjust this via settings or is this a fault of the apps?
Autoruns: When my phone reboots, I see notifications that two apps are seeking permissions. However, when I looked to see what apps are autorunning, none are listed. Why this apparent discrepancy? How can I determine which apps are launching after a reboot?
You can change the keyboard settings to show symbol on long pressing,as for Google photo you can turn backup off.
No idea for other things.

Merging contacts: I have a Note 8 too. I personally believe Google contacts does a better job of syncing and merging contacts, specially if sync is on for contacts. If you could play around with it maybe you will find what suits you.
Keyboard: `Long press for symbols` option in keyboard preferences.
Image gallery: Turn the sync off if you don't want it.
Aspect ratio: Try nova launcher and see if it solves it for you.
Autoruns: What apps need what permissions?

download quickpic 3.4.9.1 <-- this version is just a gallery with no backup/syncing in the background its what i use on all my androids, reminds me of samsungs gallery... (or was it huawei) either way.
i use chrooma keyboard, completely customizable. and does exactly what you want
as for merging im pretty sure this can be done on a PC since its easier might want to go to go google contacts on a pc and attempt to do it there.
Thanks for the helpful replies!
Merging contacts: I avoid using Google products (so why did I buy this phone?). I have turned off syncing the contacts on the phone with the cloud, so addressing this issue via the PC won't work. What is odd is that the contacts stored in the phone app are separate from the Contact app. Will keep poking around on the phone, but not finding anything useful...
Keyboard settings - did not dig deeply enough to find this, thanks.
Google Photos - I did turn off sync, but had forgotten to hit the 'Confirm' button - big duh. Now it is working, will heck it out - and QuickPic as well.
Aspect ratio: I am using Nova Launcher.
Autoruns: The two apps seeking permission are Chromium (I have disabled Chrome) and an app from my local utility company.
Just asking if someone can help me or knows something about future patches.
To reproduce the problem:
Settings - utilities - app locker - add some app
Now open that app, you will be asked to enter password or fingerprint
Now close the app and open recent apps, the app is visible, and also you can see an app called applocker
Before Android 9 the locked app would get his content hidden, now this don't work
Also, now recent apps is horizontal and not vertical, seems garbage like iPhone, 3 hours to find an app
Installing a different launcher solves the problem for recent apps.
Installing old oneplus launcher will crash almost all times.
I see that instead of adding new features, oneplus and Google is removing some useful ones and putting copied garbage from iPhone that no one asked about
Can't believe that in 2018/2019 i still need to search for custom rom to get BASIC features for better productivity
Attached a screenshot.
How do I get rid of them? They are not in the app list in settings and if I hold down on the icons, the only options are Select Item and Add to Home. If I just tap to open, it just says App does not exist.
I'm not rooted. This happened right after first setup.
Looks like a bookmark that you added to desktop, and then was restored from the cloud incompletely.
Did you use an alternate browser on your previous phone/firmware?
Do these sites appear on your current browser's bookmarks list? Maybe add those to the launcher to see whether it'll "overwrite" these old entries

From a fresh factory reset, before even signing in with my account, and before even connecting to WiFi, I did the de-bloating first. My guess is that something interrupted the process of setting up these shortcuts after debloat.
I never used the browser (chrome). Would these be related to the Samsung browser maybe?
Tried to clear launcher app data&cache?
I ended up just installing the actual apps in the play store, then immediately uninstalling them and that did the trick.
