Sweet Thank you I figure out how to disable Halo and Installed Free Riptide GP and Playing sweet. Why does it do that? Is it because is still on Beta phase and it has a bug or what?

It's a security feature built into android that prevents overlays from installing apps.

Thank You. Could you please explain It's a security feature built into android that prevents overlays from installing apps. I'm an Eager Beaver to learn.

overlays have more access to your systen than typical apps. its a security feature so that a malicious overlay doesnt install other malicious apps into your device without you knowing about it.

Granting root permissions

I rooted my phone using the only avaliable exploit root out currently and was playing around with an app called Du Battery Saver.
I noticed there was an option for controlling the CPU and making it lower while in lock-screen but it needs root permissions.
I have SuperUser and I have tried opening it up, but currently there is 2 apps I am using that are in the list and where ever I go I can't seem to find a way to grant root permissions to this app. Usually when I open the app, it just asks if I want to grant permission to it.. but this one just won't and no google search is helping me out at all.. no info on it whatsoever.
----------
Also off-topic, but I have Next Launcher installed and was wondering if there is a workaround when you restart the phone and it asks which application you want to use for the home screen button, I've google searched it and it seems its like a pretty annoying problem.
I was maybe thinking of deleting Easy Launcher and ToughWiz home so that it defaults to Next Launcher automatically. Would that be possible or would I brick it?
Tell me some more about your phone model etc...

Is SuperUser updated to the latest and its binaries as well?
It's a Samsung Galaxy 4S SGH-I337, the AT&T version
I'm actually not sure how to update SuperUser, it was installed when I used the MotoChopper exploit, here is the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248
I looked it up on the playstore and it just said installed, no option to update or anything.
no options to update within the superuser app either.

ok, I know this is a very late reaction. But I googled this thread because I had the same problem with root permission for Du Battery Saver.
The solution is simple:
You have to activate SuperSu in settings first.
Then when you go to Du Battery and activate Lower CPU frequency you can automatically activate root ...
Hope this makes sense and is mayby of use to other people with same issue.

bro I appreciate your quick response, and im here breaking my head, can you specify what kind of settings? if I go to SuperSu settings I don't see any option to enable the apps or something, and I really want this app the ask for root permission
I've looked it up, can't tell you exactly anymore where you had to enable Supersu as I don't have it on my new smartphone yet (OPO).
But I found this website with a bit of explanation. sorry can't help you any further. replace the 'dot' by a dot and 'slash' by a real slash as I'm not allowed to post outside links

If you want to save battery I recommend Greenify over DU battery saver for rooted devices.
Im having the same problem using supersu pro 2.40 du battery saver 3.9.6.5 note 3 n900 lollipop v5
There is no settings in the su as before to provoke permission what should we do

[Q] It's Dead Jim! - Apps Ops Starter

looks like they killed this feature in 4.4. sucky sucky. Great hidden app. Anyone aware of any resolutions or replacement options?
You can use CyanogenMod with their Privacy Guard. Or try LBE Security Master or some other root app.
Otherwise you'll have to wait for Xposed Framework to become compatible with KitKat to use XPrivacy.

Greenify not hibernating automatically

Hello,
My Greenify app doesn't hibarnate apps automatically for some reason, thought everything is correct with the permissions in the SuperSu and in the Greenify app itself...
Does anybody know what might be the cause for such thing?
Create a shortcut and just press it whenever you want to hibernate takes less than 1 second lol

Check if auto hibernation is not disabled. Enable it.
You can also install the app and also clear cache.

Follow the Quote above...if you want the extra features, they are still visible under the settings in Greenify, but are grayed-out due to no Xposed Framework installed.
Together with Xposed, i am hitting 2 days and 20 hours on every cycle with 3 to 4 hours screen time.

I updated yesterday. I noticed that apps that previously were not automatically hibernating are now.
Yes that's because latest 2.6 Xposed causes it to break the coding of greenify system but it was fixed with the updates.

I have the same problem, apps seem to stay in the "pending" list unless I hibernate them manually. Auto hibernation is enabled.
I have a Nexus5, stock Android + franco kernel, Greenify 2.4beta15 and xposed 2.6.1. Also have superSU.
If I check my superSU logs I can see that Greenify doesn't make any requests by itself.
Has there been found any solutions yet?
Managed to get it to work by downloading the latest beta version (2.4 beta17).

How do you do that? Sorry to ask such a basic question, but the only way I know how to do that is through Google Now settings, and the menu item that I'm thinking should be there ('Google Assistant') isn't.

What's your root method? This happened to me once before also. I was rooted with Magisk so I installed the add GA module. Quick and easy and it was back. If you are rooted with SuperSU then I would recommend uninstalling it with the uninstaller zip found in the SU thread. Alternatively you can install Magisk over the top of it but all the features like Magisk hide may not work. Another option would be to flash a different Rom. Nitrogen and Cortex are both good options and GA should work by default.

Rom Toolbox may be running into a conflict with the Pixel Launcher you flashed. I have a similar root and pixel launcher setup minus fonts and other customizations and my shortcut to RT widgets is broken as it will not create the shortcut on the home screen. I haven't had the time to investigate, but it isn't a high priority for me.
Have you tried a clean flash of the October rom?
- Wipe data/dalvik/cache
- flash your various stock rom images (bootloader, radio, boot, system, vendor)
- flash your root method
- flash pixel launcher and reboot into system.
- Setup phone, G Assist, etc.
- Install Rom Toolbox and desired mods
Lengthy process, but it may be worthwhile to contact JRummy, the author of the Pixel launcher, and sending various logs for analysis and help...
hello did you try to clear cache and data from the google app and reboot? that helped me.

I use Chainfire's systemless root method. I've had GA with this root method before... I'll research Magisk (I've read a little about it, but not enough to be comfortable to jump into it yet) if I'm not able to find another solution. Thank you for your suggestion.

A question

My last phone was a Titan or Moto G2 XT1068. In that, I rooted the stock ROM and tried uninstalling gapps but it went into bootloop. Only if I installed a third party launcher, uninstall gapps except Google, and then after a successful reboot I uninstall Google, it used to work. But mostly, the home screen never showed after uninstalling Google.
My question to you guys is
How can you get rid of gapps from Athene running latest stock rom? I tried System App Remover, but it kept failing. I rooted my phone with phh's superuser.
Pls help
Have you tried this debloater script in the Mods section? https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/stock-rom-debloater-t3729594

AFAIK stock ROM comes with Google Now Launcher, and removing Google app with cause force close to Now Launcher, (may be because of Google widget or side screen??)
You can remove google app from /system/priv-app or /system/apps (don't know exact place and folder name.)
Also remove google now launcher and install other launcher or use flashable launcher installer zip (like trebuchet or others) available on other XDA forums..
After it, wipe delvik and cache from TWRP, also take backup before proceeding to remove anything..

You cannot use Google keyword search and other things that you might want to use from Google. So easy way: freeze it, test everything, then decide if it should be deleted or not.

Ok thanks a lot.
I got 1 more question. If I remove all the Google apps from my phone, will it still function properly?

Depends what you mean with function properly... For example: Google play store is also a Google app. You need a third party app store like F-Droid or install every app separate per apk file.
Living without Google is possible, but you should decide. There's no yes or no in terms of recommendations. Only minor apps are outside the Google play store available.

Thanks a lot. I successfully uninstalled unwanted gapps.
One more question. How to make a normal app into a system app?

Also that's possible for example with titanium backup. But there are other ways too, but not so easy like with an app.

Is the Convert User app to System app part of Titanium Backup Pro, or is it in the free version too? I'm not sure how up to date this page is, which suggests this feature is only in the premium paid version: https://www.titaniumtrack.com/titanium-backup.html
Still, it's such a useful tool it's worth buying the premium version for

It's only in the premium version this app is the best you can have if you are a flashaholic and worth the money. I have it since 2010 and it's my #1 app :good:
Your Device can run fine without google Search & Google now launcher.
I've made a zip file for that, try it out. But remember to install and make some other launcher as default before flashing this zip.

Thanks man!
So what happened is this. I installed the mod apk and also tried the normal one of titanium backup. All of them keep stopping and never open up. Why is this happening?
