Automatically turn of screen overlay? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The screen on my Nexus 6P is too yellow so I'm using an app to make it more white. This works good, but gets annoying since I have to turn that off every time an app asks for permission to access something.
I think Google should've made the permission dialog on a separat layer above everything else, not affected by screen overlays, or just temporarily disable all overlays when a permission dialog is visible.
So... my question is now, is it possible to do any of this, maybe through Xposed? I guess moving the permission dialog to a separat layer would be difficult, but it's maybe possible to disable overlay temporarily?
I prefer to use stock as much as possible, but if I need a custom kernel or rom I would definitely consider it since this bugs me several times every day.

A bit late but at least here's a reply and workaround solution for you. I posted it here:

going crazy! (System UI) Notifications

Hey this question seems simple initially, but how do you disable SystemUI notifications? I'm talking about that grey notification that shows up on the lower part of your screen right over your keyboard. Whenever I start downloading something or quickly switch apps, it always seems to pop up and display some stupid arbitrary message. It's incredibly ANNOYING when you need to type something quickly and it's covering your keyboard. Does anyone know how to disable this? I've been using Android for over 5 years and I still haven't been able to figure this out lol.
I'm not sure if you're rooted or anything and I haven't tried it directly, but you can try the EnhancedToast Xposed Module. By description, it'll log the messages that display and then you can disable them as you see fit. Give it a look here EnhancedToast I hope this helps!

screen overlay detected

I'm getting this window in every app I try to access and add a photo. It's annoying cause I don't really know what it wants me to do. I simply tap settings and then the back key, and everything's fine. It's annoying. Can I disable it?
I was playing the screen overlay game for a while too. Never ran into this with my note 5, even the short time it had marshmallow. I removed a 3rd party app called PowerLine (was a battery meter app). Once that was removed my screen overlay permission annoyance disappeared. It would do it when I used s pen or trying to install various new apps. You might wanna disable apps one by one until you find the culprit.
With all that said, whats up with this new screen overlay thing? Is it marshmallow or the note 7?
It's not the Note. Happened on my S7e and pretty sure it happened on my Nexus 5x too.

Screen auto rotation

Is there a way this crap ever works? Sometimes auto rotation works but more often not. And HOW can i disable the home screen rotation?
I don't know what all you guys do with custom mods like this. YES, it's fast and it needs less memory. And then? Soooo much silly functions. One would think the developers hate android. Jeez.
And when I have a simple question, nobody have an answer. That's creepy. Autorotation is a PITA. Same as the status bar in fullscreen.
If someone would ask me, Hey, should I install a custom rom? I would say: HELL NO!!!! Don't be crazy.
I really wonder what you guys all do with your phones and custom roms. Watching animated emojis? That's all?

Nothing wrong with my auto rotation on lineageos 15.1
Also my home launcher doesn't auto rotate - I use evie launcher
Check your launcher settings or replace it with one that meets your requirements
Plus you have posted in a dev section so I'll ask the mod to move it to the appropriate place

Hello
I just tried evie launcher. Same behavior.
The other thing; in full screen I'm not able to pull down the status bar. I checked settings and red online for hours. No way.
Maybe you have some suggestions?

I just enabled expanded desktop in lineageos os 15.1 to hide status bar & I have no issues pulling it down
I have a galaxy s5 900f
Make sure the rom you are using is compatible with your variant
I'm using
official lineage os 15.1
Mind the gapps
Magisk
Evie launcher
You may want to flash stock rom via odin & do any ota updates then try custom rom again
Thank you. I also use the g900f. When I start the device in safe mode, it works as it should. Then I disabled each app which imo remotely might cause the issue. But I want successful to isolate it.
I'm not sure at this point if it must be a app which interfere with this or if it may be also some settings which are not executed in safe mode.
I also tried apps which should allow to access the status bar. But even then, it doesn't work.

The only type of app I can think of that would stop you pulling down the status bar is one that has the permission to draw over other apps & is constantly running in the background
Best thing to do is to flash stock rom via odin and start again

{solved} swiping notifications locks screen

when swiping notifications from notifications panel using right to left swipe gesture to dismiss notification, the device goes to lock-screen (gets locked), interestingly this doesn't happen when swiping from left to right to dismiss notification. This has been around since 8.1 released for mia1, i have been waiting for any ota to fix this but this hasnt happened yet so i felt to report the situation. The reproduction rate isnt 100% but it does happen often so be patient while addressing this bug
Steps to reproduce
1. swipe down to get to the notifications panel
2. dismiss a few notification using RIGHT TO LEFT swipe
3. profit
Reproduce rate-50%
i have posted the bug to miformus to, feel free to give your opinions there too. Here's the link to the bug report - http://in.miui.com/thread-465-1-1.html
update: substweaks is behind this, i'll grab a log and report to the dev. What happened was system ui used to crash while swiping notifications in a specific manner as mentioned when substweaks overlays are installed, this ui crash instantly brings the ui to lock screen.
So you are on stock without any modification?

So yes report bug and wait as you're not even rooted
I've just dismissed 30 notifications right to left and then 30 left to right, screen didn't lock a single time. Probably something on your phone doing it..?
okay thanks for input guys, i am pretty sure substratum is behind this, substweaks to be accurate.

Apps showing through lockscreen

Some apps such as Magisk when you click on a module for the description, and contacts when you search for a name show on the lockscreen. This allows anyone picking up your phone to see what you're doing.
I'm curious to know of any other apps do this or if there is a way to prevent it.
Here is one example
It's a bug with the AOD module you're using and is mentioned in that thread.

Would you care to link it? I'm not using an Always On module. Have double tap to wake enabled only.
Happens to me as well, but it shows my home screen under the lockscreen. Happens maybe 25% of the time

That was my mistake. The layout in your screenshot is the typical AOD format. I use single tap, which just wakes up to the One Plus AOD display, the double tap wakes up just like pressing the power button.
The AOD mod uses the traditional AOSP AOD, which looks like what your screenshot is. But that mod has a bug where info is displayed. I've confirmed this while I was running the mod.
For you and others having this bug. Can you give a little info? What rom version are you running, and what launcher are you running?
Running 9.0.6 on T-Mobile, using lawnchair launcher. I can not recreate this. I can only recreate it while running the AOD mod.
9.0.6 global 6t, nova prime

I apologize for very little info in the OP, I was driving and didn't want to text too much lol.
Version 9.0.6 global.
Lawnchair launcher.
Only double tap to wake enabled.
Magisk modules: BusyBox, Greenify, iOS emojis, Universal GSM Doze, and YouTube Vanced black.
Those 2 situations are the only time I've been able to duplicate the issue. Never had it show my desktop like another person stated.

My assumption is it might be a bug in OOS then. Cause I've seen this with the AOD mod. The way the mod works is just enabling AOD that OnePlus disabled. The code is there, they just disable it and then add in their own. (The clock view when you pick up the phone or whatever).
The fact it happens with that mod, and it happens with users who are using double tap to wake (which wakes the device to the lock screen). It seems to be a bug with the lock screen.
I would try searching on the OnePlus forums for this bug. If you see a bunch of comments about it, it will at least be known it's an OOS bug and it'll be fixed at some point. Since most of those people will be running stock.
If you care about security, I would try single tap, and see if that resolves it until it's fixed.
To be clear, I'm not using double tap to wake. It happens when I press the power button.
Oops sorry
I can recreate this behavior everytime..
This happens with all apps that use the system share screen, example gallery app...open any picture ...press share icon on the bottom...share menu comes up...lock the device(power button)...press power to come to lockscreen and viola transparent lockscreen...
I am not rooted or unlocked, talking about stock device here 9.0.6...
Guys I think I figured this on out and would love you all to test it and confirm.
I'd been using a wallpaper set through the Google Wallpapers app and have been noticing the issue regularly with Magisk manager, Boost, and Google Home to name a few. After setting a wallpaper directly using an image through my Launcher (op Launcher) I was able to see that the issue was resolved.
Any time I set a wallpaper through backdrops, Google Wallpapers, Resplash, the issue returns.
Let me know what you guys find.

My wallpaper is simple black image through Nova Launcher and I was having this issue occur. It's very sporadic, I haven't found any clear pattern
Cube, see if you can set it through the stock Launcher or even use the Set As function in your gallery and see if you have the same result. I haven't had the problem since changing the way I set Wallpapers. Only crap thing about it is I can't use the pixel live Wallpapers I was using before.
Fix
Go to settings, look up app locker and select the hide all information tab.
