Hi, i've got the following problem with my oneplus 3:
The phone is rooted! When i have to grant the permission for an app to acces the storage, i always geht the message "display overlay detectet". I have to disable the overlay off ALL apps to grant the access. I do not have lux installed, which causes this problem on many other phones. i have already wiped the device, which did not solve the problem. the problem is, that some apps need the overlay (facebook messenger). i have no idea how to solve it... maybe you guys can help
wow.... it just worked out, by deleting super user and rebooting the phone. i'll keep you guys updated, if the problem accours again

Hello everyone,
Here is my problem:
My phone give permissions to some apps. which are not asked before downloading in the android market.
One example:
Advanced Task Killer by ReChild.Read Phone State and ID permission is not asket before downloading however I can see in the application settings menu of my phone that it actually has it.
I have the same problem with Ip cam viewer lite.
Any idea of what is going wrong?
Thank you for your replies.
Dears;
I rooted my phone, and as a first thing I installed Titanium back up that have been granted of root access.
I set under the application menu "allow unknow sources", and I also activated the dubug mode under the "development" tab.
Now i cannot access superuser app anymore as everytime i try "superuser stops unexpectedly"..
I then went on menu-application-manage-and on superuser I cleaned the data.
Once done that I can access superuser menu again (that of course is empty as I cleaned teh data), but as I start titanium (and it gets root access) I cannot access anymore the superuser app!
How can I fix this?
Any idea?
SOLVED
guys..
I figured it out..in the case anybody would have the same issue the solution is easy..go in superuser and under settings update the "SU Binary"..once updated the problem will not pop up again.
in the case you cannot open superuser as keep getting " unexpectedly stopped" go into Application in your phone menu, choose "superuser" and select " clear data"..once cleared you can access superuser again and do what above described..
Cheers
Update didn't work for me, what i did is update superuser from market then update su.
I'm on Android 6.0.1 stock. I had earlier installed the RedMoon app which is like what f.lux does in Windows. But if that app is running, you can't change the "app permissions" manually. You have to pause/clsoe the RedMoon app and then you may disable the permissions.
Otherwise, you'll be prompted with this error -
Screen overlay detected
To change this permission setting, you first have to turn off the screen overlay from Settings > Apps.
Anyway, later I uninstalled the RedMoon app but still I can't change the default permissions unless I'm prompted on the first run.
e.g. When I installed the Snapdeal app, even before the first launch, it had all the permissions, but I don't want to give sms/contacts permissions to it. How do I change it?
If you go to the application manager in your phone's settings and find the specific app you want to change permissions for, there should be a permissions option. You can each permission the app has there. Also, the next time you get a popup about the screen overlay, click the Open Settings option and scroll through the list of apps to find any that show the toggle in the on position. For me, the two apps that have screen overlay permissions are Messaging and Facebook Messenger. I have to disable them each time in order to accept permissions, then I have to re-enable the overlay later. It's a stupid system and I'm hoping the release of Android N will find a more elegant solution, but for now it's the only workaround I know of.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Apps made before MM's permission changes don't prompt on demand and are all granted. When you try to disable one of their permissions in a list it will warn you that errors may occur.
I've found a workaround for quickly disabling an overlay for permission toggling. I posted it here:

In my micromax canvas a1 I don't know how to disable the screen overlay setting ????
I use official Chinese rom on Redmi Note 5 (pro, 3/32GB) with Nova launcher. Unfortunately when I try to open an app that I've installed via Google Play or .apk file I get a permission request "Allow Nova Launcher to open ... ?".
Is there a simple way (except for flashing a new rom) to remove this? It happens once a reboot - if I say OK then I can use this particular app without further messages, but when I reboot the phone the issue comes back. So far gave Nova all permissions possible but no luck.
As any other apps also have the same annoying message
Each boot, Eaxh apps will have"allow *** to open" sorta message pop-up. Tried googling but found nothing. My phone China ROM too.
Anyone knows how to disable the security thingy?
Security app >manage apps>permission>Auto start
Enable Auto start for all apps
Et voila !
(It's not that Nova doesn't have permission to open these apps . These apps aren't allowed to be started by other apps , that's the problem)
After updating my phone to realme ui 3.0, the existing realme dialer stopped working. It was showing popup to provide phone permission even after all the permissions are enabled, so I uninstalled it.
Now when I am trying to install new realme dialer, it is not getting installed and showing 'app not installed due to package conflicts with existing package' error.
Any solution to the problem? (P.s. my phone is not rooted)
