Screen overlay, have To disable/enable these constantly - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, first nexus and first marshmallow device.
I've having a bit of frustration with these overlay permissions.
For instance I was getting the Gallery permissions so I could post to Facebook and I have to disable (one at a time I think) all of the overlay permissions, she then set them back.
Is there a better way?

Odd launcher behavior

Hey all,
Weird thing just started happening yesterday on my Nexus. Whenever I power on the tablet, I am prompted for the default launcher choice. This shows up on the lockscreen, so somehow the unit is forgetting that adw is my default launcher. Once I make the choice, all is good. Just bugs me that I have to do that everytime.
I am rooted, and used that to change my screen density settings to get a real tablet look rather than the enlarged phone look. No problems there as this just started yesterday. I have installed home switcher and that did not do the trick. Could it be a conflict with a recently installed app?
Any insight or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
I'm not sure but things you can try:
Goto adwlauncher app settings and unset defaults and sleep tablet, and reset defaults on the lockscreen with always
Convert adwlauncher to a system app and repreform the above. (Requires root) may not help, but I believe this may cause adwlauncher to run quicker and not throw anr's although I haven't seen 1 anr on my nexus 7 yet!!
Disable the stock launcher. Settings, apps, all, launcher, force stop, disable. (No root req'd)
You can also try clearing the defaults here first to see of it helps.

Thanks for the reply Joe!
Your ideas prompted a little targeted searching and I discovered I could 'freeze' the stock launcher (disable it) using Titanium Backup. My Nexus booted right into ADW as I wanted.
Thanks!

After root, settings don't stick

I ran a plan vanilla system for a while then decided to root a few days ago after seeing talk about all the kit-kat goodies and the kingo root method. Even though it didn't require it, I did a full wipe of the phone to start with a clean slate. Apps installed fine, changed things the way I want, and now several random settings will not stick after a simple reboot. Just to name a few; the xda app leaves the folder it's in on my home screen, adblock plus will show notification even though it's set not to, the font changes back to stock in certain areas like the notification bar and home screen or this box I'm typing in now (oddly the font is all as should be until I use the phone for a moment) but it's set to the rosemary font on the keyboard like I set it to be. All of these settings (I notice so far) are fixed by simply changing and changing back to original. Any thoughts on why it won't just act as its supposed to?

Quick window bug(finding confirmation from others)

I realised that if I disable the stock music app, it's widget is automatically disabled and I lose the quick window widget too. That would be fine, only double tap to off no longer works on the clock widget, only the weather one.
Now if I disable the clock widget too, the weather widget's double tap to off disappears as well.
Anyone else has that prob too?
Enabling the music widget ONLY(in settings doing this also enables the music app) using TiBu solves the problem but leaves a useless and ugly music widget behind :/

Oh i've also thought of a few solutions
1. Use exposed to change the lock screen widget to simply pause/play and next and previous buttons that work with all apps
2. Modify the apk to do the same thing
3. Find the source of the bug?

I never noticed it before but I can confirm my VS980 on CleanROM behaves as you describe. I never use the knock on feature...

Android Lollipop App Based Notification in Lock Screen

Hi, I am not sure whether there is a solution to this question so far, but as far as I tried to google it, I cannot find a work around.
I have updated to Lollipop 5.0 recently and the notifications in lock screen are impressive. However, I have some persistent app such as Apex Launcher, Profile Scheduler+ that will always run in the background. Some apps have an option to hide lock screen notification but not many have this options (at least those app that i used do not have).
One of the most annoying situation is during my running at night, where I have:-
1. Location Set by GPS (System UI)
2. Notification Status by GPS Status
3. Notification Status by Runtastic
4. Internet Speed Meter Lite (This app has a function to hide itself in lock screen, but sometimes it doesn't work....)
5. Profile Scheduler+ (persistent app)
6. Plus some whatsapp notification...
where i only want to have 1, 3, 6 in the lock screen.....
Is there any "app based notification chooser" in the field? That you can select what app can display notification in the lock screen.
Thanks in advance.
I'm looking for a solution to same issue on my Moto G 1st Gen (Lollipop 5.1)

I think the pro version has ability to do what your looking for

Hmm, I gotta try this My Android Tools app then, cause since moving to Lollipop this issue has made me crazy! However I mind how the clock and date font becomes small (tiny in fact) when there are other notifications in lock screen more than the number of notifications on LS. Even if those notifications had to be persistent there was absolutely no meaning for the clock and date fonts to go small!

Thanks for your help. It seems we need to wait android or Samsung to provide us this option. I will look into 3rd party lockscreen
You can block an app's notifications altogether in settings.
It would be fairly simple to make an app or script that would enable/disable that, on a timer or something.
To remove certain notifications from just the lock screen, though, would either require modding the desired apps individually, or some rather significant mods to SystemUI.

Disappearing Widgets (all of them)

Hi Everybody,
I'm stock unrooted and still waiting for the 6.0.1 update.
Starting yesterday, all of my widgets began just disappearing. I put them back, and and later in the day they're gone again. Three of them on two different home screens.
Anybody experience or heard about this?
I've been having this exact same issue I don't know why but I'll set up my widgets and then at what seems to random times usually days apart the widgets just disappear and I can't readd them to the home screen as they are no longer in the widget selector in the Google launcher. The only thing that fixes it is a reboot and then the widget appear in the selector again and I have set them up again. I'm on 6.0.1 and still getting this issue
Me too. I had the same issue after the 6.0.1 update.

Google Now Cards Disappearing Too?
I am experiencing the same phenomenon with my widgets randomly disappearing on my Nexus 6P running rooted but stock 6.0.1. I thought it might have had something to do with me having Gravity Box installed with Xposed Framework and enabling the "resize any widget" function.
Additionally, all of my Google Now cards disappear and won't reappear unless I disable cards and then reenable them. Anyone having issues with their cards disappearing as well?
Stock 6P on 6.01 and someone keeps swiping my widgets too! Sometimes it's just one other times it's a couple and others it's all of them.
Seriously anyone have any insight into this??

Any update, anyone? This is driving me crazy!
I did a factory data reset and thought this problem was fixed. But then it happened again shortly after I plugged into Android auto. Anyone else using Android auto? Maybe that is the (or a) trigger.
Sounds like a launcher issue to me. I have been using Nova launcher most of the time since I have had my 6P, and I have not experienced it. Sounds like a bug in Google Launcher. If you guys are using Google Launcher, switch to a different launcher, set it as your default, set your apps and widgets up, restart your phone. See if it happens any over the next couple days.
Downloaded Nova launcher and they haven't disappeared since and it's been a day. Fingers crossed. It was happening up to three times a day before.
Update: It is definitely the Google Now launcher causing the issue. It's been several days now and not one widget has disappeared since switching to Nova launcher.

Mine still unpredictably disappear. Sometimes I'll go weeks without incident, and then sometimes I'll have to replace them days in a row. Sometimes just one goes, sometimes all at once. However, without fail my Google Calendar agenda widget remains unaffected. It's always there. I actually switched to it from Event Flow because I don't have to worry about it disappearing, even though the Event Flow widget is way better.
Maybe N will fix this when it finally hits.
