Application Manager "Show Notifications" not sticking after a reboot - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure if anyone has this problem or not. Firstly, I am rooted, running Xposed framework, Wanam and Greenify. I have manually turned off notifications for certain apps (Dunkin Donut and Subway Surfers) by going into the Application manager and going into the app and unchecking the "Show Notifications" box. I have noticed that when I reboot, I have to go back in and uncheck. Has anyone else come across this and if so how did you make it stick?

Any Way to Remove "Recommended Apps" w/ Headphones?

Is there any way to remove the "recommended apps" notification that pops up when you plug in headphones, with or without root?
Settings -> Application manager -> swipe right to "All" tab.
Scroll down to PageBuddyNotiSvc....click it...Turn off.
This will turn off all of those recommended apps. Not just when plugging in headphones.
There's another way to disable each one, but requires a Nova launcher from the market. If you use that, let me know. I can post that way too.
I would like to know please.
Thanks

I was looking for a way, then realised you can use Xposed Framework to do it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053/post24267797
Install from the link above, then install Wanam Xposed, there is a option under Sound to disable it.
Hope that helps.
I've searched many forums and no one seems to have the settings I have with my Galaxy Note 3 running 5.0. I don't know why Verizon hasn't updated this model to 5.1.... but, I don't have "Pagebuddy", mine is actually called "Recommended Apps". I can see the process running. I can Force Stop it. But it comes back. And there's no setting that I can find in all of the android settings to turn it off. So am I crazy, or does this particular setup have no way to shut off this notification?
(and I can't root because it's a company phone)
SM-N900V.07
Android 5.0
Kernel 3.4.0
Build LRX21V.N900VVRUEOF1
Config B13.SAM.SMN900V.0
*** EDIT ***
Found it!! It wasn't under "Sound and Notification" as expected. It was in the "Display" settings. Then in "Notification panel", it's called "Related Apps". Turning that off gets rid of the notification for earphones.
Hope it helps someone...

[Q] "My Magazine" Will Not "Turn Off"

I'm trying to follow the tip to fully turn off "My Magazine" other users here and on the web have been having success but it is not working for me.
When I go to the My Magazine app on my Galaxy S5 "Turn Off" is grayed out and not able to be selected. I have turned it off from the home screen (swiping left doesn't bring it up anymore) but the app still runs because if I "Force Stop" it within 10 minutes or so "Force Stop" is available again.
Any ideas? I have been all over the web an everyone seems to find "Turn Off" (or Disable, depending on region) available but it is not for me.
If you turned it off it should turned off. Why you use force stop even when apps is turned off???

If it's greyed out that suggests that it is in use or another app is interferring. Try disabling it immediately after rebooting your phone. Other ideas.. try force stop of any magazine reading apps or anything else that you think might interfere, then force stop my magazine. Clear the my magazine cache and data from the applications manager screen, restart my magazine, then check the disable option again.
Failing that, see if restoring a backup will fix the anomaly. If you are rooted, then you have great options including freezing it with Greenify or Titanium Backup Pro. Simply removing the app or even moving to a custom ROM that doesn't have it.
.
I can confirm this same issue on my unrooted, stock S5. My Magazine's "turn off" is grayed-out.

"Couldn't add widget"

In the recent menu/ app switcher, I get this "couldn't add widget" display at the top. Phone works nicely, but this widget error display is annoying for me. I have the moto rooted with twrp. Anyone having the same issue? I tried rebooting, clearing cache, clearing data from google search app with no solution.
Thanks in advance
Do you have Xposed installed with any modules set to "Hide search bar in recents"?
I remember I had that on my M8 when I hid the search bar in the recents..... It was eventually fixed in a ROM update, but I had to live with it for a while, or show the search bar.

No xposed, just stock rooted. Should have mentioned that, lol... any other ideas? thanks
SUCCESS!
So i booted into safe mode (while phone is on, hold power and long press "power off" and tap boot into safe mode), then launch the recent apps menu and the widget (google search) is there, then reboot phone like normal.
Hope this helps if anyone has the same thing.

"screen overlay detected" even when all are switched off

So, I've just updated to the latest Pure Nexus - did a wipe and clean install - and I'm trying to get my apps set up again, but I can't grant permissions through system settings. If an app actually pops up and requests a permission, I can allow it; but for some apps, this doesn't happen. Home Remote Control, for example, won't request the storage permission it needs to access my ssh key. So I go into settings->apps, find the app, tap permissions, try to enable the storage permission, and..."screen overlay detected". Except there is no screen overlay active. I have disabled every app's "draw over other apps" permission. I even found the "show system" option in the list and disabled all system apps' ability to draw over other apps. At this point, SYSTEMUI can't draw over anything else! And I'm still getting "screen overlay detected" when I try to change permissions. Any advice? Is there another way to manage permissions in Marshmallow (like maybe an xposed module)?
EDIT: Thought I should also mention, the issue persists in Safe Mode.

Do you have twilight or lux installed?
The reason it's warning you is BECAUSE they're disabled. Enable all the toggles and the prompts will go away. You can then choose to disable one by one until you figure which app is throwing the error.

Turned out to be because GravityBox pie controls were enabled. Doesn't show up in the "draw over" list, but trips the overlay detection regardless. Disabling pie controls in the GravityBox app let me change permissions.
Hi,
Try to flash this by Custom Recovery.

Disabled apps not showing in application manager

I have disabled the stock messaging app on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge as I have been using Textra instead.
However I now want to enable messages again but have found that its not showing in the disabled apps in the application manager.
I have followed these steps but as I said, there are no disabled apps showing. I'm running Android 7.0 and not rooted. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this please??
Launch the Settings Application.
Scroll Down and Tap on the 'Applications' Option.
Then Tap on the 'Application Manager' Option.
Tap the 'All Apps' Drop Down Menu.
Tap on the 'Disabled' Option.
Locate and Tap on the Application You Want to Enable.
Then Tap on the 'Enable' Button.
Did you disable it in the app manager, or using a third party tool like Package Disabler?

what about System Apps section?
did you try to go on developer mode and tap on "disabled apps" at the bottom of the menu?
If you try there maybe you will find all the stuffs you're looking for
Thanks for your replies but gave up and did a factory reset! I will bare those options in mind the next time I have a similar problem Thanks again
