I have a=found a few apps that throw up a window saying "Screen Overlay detected" and ask that the permission be changed in settings > apps. When I go there, I find a slider, but can't move it.
Does anyone know how to make this change?
Settings - apps - settings cog (configure apps) - Draw over other apps - down arrow - Apps with permission
Now disable/enable the permission for each app listed. Between disabling and enabling run the app you were having trouble with. If that didn't work disable for all apps that aren't Verizon, Google, or Moto. If that didn't work disable for all apps.

I must be missing something, but does the app drawer sort the apps in alphabetical order?
press menu>>sort order>>alphabetical
or check if setting has launcher settings in it
There are some nice enough developers to include a option to hide an icon from a Live Wallpaper settings. But that's only with about 20% of them. The rest are just creating a mess there. I have a lot of these Live Wallpapers, I often like to change the looks of my home screen.
It has become really hard to find apps, well you either have to slowly browse through them all to find what you have installed, or remember the names of the apps. I think Google should give users an option to hide and manage hidden apps. Or is there already a way? (without rooting)
You can hide apps by going to settings, apps and selecting the app you desire and press disable. Those that are disabled won't appear on your app menu. This feature is on stock ROM or not.

I'm on android 4.4.2 and there is no such option. And wouldn't that disable the app altogether from usage?
So I have Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (G935F) and I really dislike all the bloatware Samsung puts on their devices.
So I installed Custom ROM to get rid of it. More specifically I installed Efficient ROM which let me choose which apps i want to have on my phone.
Being sick of preinstalled apps I selected all of them to not be installed. Along with default Clock App.
Which at first didn't bother me at all since I could install Google Clock app from the Play Store.
But my problem started when I wanted to use alarm feature. Though app is very well adopted by the system (the alarm icon even appears on the AOD which I did not expect), when I clean all open apps
it also shuts down my clock app. Which is really bothering me since Alarm does not work when app is not running.
I could just leave clock app opened in the apps menu, but it's annoying since I usually close the apps I don't currently use.
So my question is: What can I do to keep Google Clock running in the Background when i close it from recent apps? I have in mind feature that, for example, Facebook app has; that keeps you updated on notification even when you close it.
And that I don't forget to mention... There isn't any option to set Google clock as a default app on the default apps menu in settings.
I really don't want to flash ROM again just because of the stupid clock so if there is any solution I will be very grateful to share it with me.
I would guess use a Root Explorer and change it from a user app to a system app. I'm a Samsung noob, though, so I could be wrong.

OK i figured out that if I disable xposed, app stays opened. Anyone else experienced that issue with having xposed installed? I also find out that it's preventing Hangouts and several other apps to run in background as well, so I can't get any notifications.
You could install xposed (if not already done) and download an app called App Settings. There you can set the app to be permanently running and/or hide it from the recent apps list.
Also, I don't think making it a system app will change anything as system apps, with a few exceptions, can also be closed from the recent apps just like user apps.
Edit: Just read you have xposed already installed. So just do as I said first, this way you can continue using xposed aswell as the clock app.
Picked up one of these phones for my new teenager, thinking I could lock everything down well between an applock app and norton family app. But I can't seem to get rid of the google search bar on the home screen and can't lock the google app in the menu. And neither of these google search capabilities are monitored by norton family.
What can I do to uninstall/disable/lock this google search app?
I installed nova launcher, but the google app is still available in the menu, and the applock app doesn't see it (since it's native?).
So far I discovered I can hide apps from the drawer in nova launcher, but the app lock apps I have won't let me lock the nova settings (doesn't appear in the list of apps). I also installed a different keyboard and locked the system settings.
Is there a way to lock the app drawer or nova settings?
I am using AIO launcher and almost evrrytime I launch a new app from it's shortcuts on home screen it comes up with a pop up asking for permission to launch the app I want. "Allow AIO Launcher to open...xxxx.". With options Deny and Allow.
The dev and I think this is a MIUI10 thing. I have given almost all permissions to AIO launcher (except making call and sms) but I still get this prompt.
Any idea where I should change settings?
Thanks in advance.
I'm using Nova launcher and there was just an option to use launcher every time.
Go to settings -> permissions...
If not AIO should have it's own settings

There are permissions and there are "other permissions" (dont ask. smh). Go to manage apps in settings and search for AIO launcher and tap it, scroll down and youll see "App permissions", and "Other permissions" . Make sure that all permissions under "Other permissions" are marked Accept and see if it works
You will need to check which permissions MIUI launcher app has and replicated to your launcher, I recall there is a Default App/Action (I'm not sure) that allow you assign which app will be the default for certain things, like you can use Chrome as default web browser.
