Hello out there,
anyone with an idea how to get rid of these two "functions"?
I already deactivated Game Launcher and also denied Game Tools to write over other apps, to get rid of these two additional buttons on the navigation bar. But once i start a game, it still pops up with "not able to overlay on other apps, please activate in options". And this even as i deactivated notifications for it!!
I don't want this "functions" and their notifications are not relevant for me, not at all.
But, I also do not want to root for this.
Maybe anyone knows a hint.

Did you ever work out how to hide these extra functions? I've recently set my S8 to Game Mode to help with lag I've started getting but when opening apps (non game apps) the two extra functions appear in the nav bar and I cannot find a way to disable these.
I have the same frustration. I have unchecked every option. I'm tired of the stupid notification.

Package disabler pro......does the trick

I use adhell which has a package disabler. Works without root but you have to follow steps to have it installed and working. I've disabled alot of Samsung stuff including the Game tools and launcher you mentioned with no trace of it whatsoever to bother me.

I asked in the Must Have Apps thread but never got an answer. Figured a thread would get more attention.
Is there any app for managing applications? Like their notification and sync settings.
Like disabling getting a notification every time I take a screen shot, or preventing a certain app from syncing unless I'm on WiFi.
I don't have root. I figured Juice Defender could help with the sync settings. But what about notifications?

You're in luck, this popped up a little while ago: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...ively-banish-apps-from-your-notification-bar/
Should help with the notifications, or if you want better control as to what runs in the background, give this a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
And, of course, if you also want to get rid of ads AdAway is a must, but it got taken down from the Playstore, so you have to Google it.

ROM Toolbox Pro is the must have app. It does what 20 other standalone apps do, including managing app notifications, startup triggers, etc. Comes in real handy when you don't want programs starting up on boot or sending usage info.
Greenify , a nice way to keep rooted device running smooth and lag free
Need some help. I've installed a speedometer app (switch that lights up the console in my truck went bad) and am having trouble getting rid of the icons in the app drawer. So far I've tried to reinstall the app and uninstall it with no luck. It doesn't show up in titanium after uninstalling the app. I can't find an apk after uninstalling the app. Any help?
What app? Can you back into the play store and install it that way?

Sorry. Forgot details. Locked bootloader, rooted running gpe ROM thru safestrap. Digihud speedometer is the app spedo app
I could upgrade nova launcher or use another launcher to hide the problem. And I would go insane knowing I didn't fix it.

Interesting app, it looks cool but it really f'd up my device. I could uninstall it with tibu but it left something behind. Do you have a nandroid you can restore? Do a wipe before restoring the nandroid. That was the only way I got my device back to normal

Hi, developer here
Hi guys, ok this is something I've not seen whilst testing it on the few physical devices I have and in the emulator. I'm not sure what's happening here but obviously I'm keen to help if I can.
The app has two main parts, the full screen display and a windowed view that is shown in front of other apps, the latter runs as a service. Both parts have settings in the manifest to enable them to be launched from icons and two icons are created when the app is installed. Whenever I've uninstalled the app both icons have been removed from the app drawer. My devices are mostly but not all rooted.
Feedback has been mixed about whether two icons are needed; some people don't want the window icon and ask how it can be removed, others like it so they can call it with other apps like AutomateIt. Because the majority of feedback was against it I've removed it from the paid version of the app...but now there are requests to have it again. Hopefully my solution will be to be able to install a shortcut if required.
Sorry, back to your problem! I'm surprised TIBU doesn't remove it if I'm honest, although the Android uninstall should remove it all. There's nothing unusual or malicious in the code (i'm really not that clever!) to prevent it uninstalling.
If a link to a particular version of the .apk helps let me know and I'll post it if I can.
I'll do some more testing and see what I can find and post anything useful here.
Sorry for the hassle.

Would a catlog help in troubleshooting the issue. As JD said it is an interesting app. The HUD display works great (very clever idea there), but I want to be able to remove that icon. I like to keep my app drawer paired down to as few apps as possible and that one icon sticks out to me.

I totally understand. The logcat may well help me see what's up.
Thanks.

Trying to access some apps, I get "screen overlay detected, go to settings to disable." Apparently, you can't have anything on that draws over other apps, such as lux, fb messenger, etc. I just want to be able to use my phone. Bad enough that I can't root it to remove the warning. Anyone have any suggestions?
That's an android built in security feature, for 6.0+

You can, just pause Lux, then install or change whatever you need then turn Lux back on and you are set.

This has been causing me problems for weeks now.
In the Google settings I have all voice settings turned off but the Google search bar still pops up with 'say ok google' and it still works even on other pages.
It's as though it's completely ignoring the settings and stuck on the from any page setting.
Anyone have any possible ideas for fixes?

Try to clear data of Google Now if possible.
Otherwise try to uninstall Google Now and re-install the latest version
I've tried both of those as a first step and it still happens.
Really quite annoying as I'm pretty sure it's causing considerable battery drain.
Only thing I can do for now is deny the microphone permission for google now but this also prevents android auto from using voice commands. And it still says it's activated on the search bar

Hey guys,
Normally, I use Mobicip browser to block undesirable content on my family's phones. I just found out that my kid has found a way to access porn on the LG V20 through multi-window. When you hit the multi-window button, you can access blocked apps or the Play Store and bypass the page that asks for your password if you press it the right way and he downloaded Titanium Backup and froze Mobicip. I blocked all the apps that would allow this to happen but multi-window allows it if you use it properly.
My question is, can I disable multi-window in any way? Like editing a .xml file or something? I will edit the Nougat code if I have to. Is there any way to edit any of the files to break the multi-window function? I was pretty shocked when I found this out but now I would like to do something about it. Thanks for your help guys.
Use applock and lock access to package installer and settings. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sp.protector.free

Thank you for the suggestion. It seems like that will do the trick! The main thing in that app that works to prevent access is under System Lock, the option for Recent Apps (Multitasking).The problem is that when the Mobicip block screen comes up asking for a password for a blocked app, you can just press the Recent Apps button and reopen the blocked app in multiwindow while leaving the other page open that is asking for a password. You then have the Mobicip password page open in the top multiwindow and the app you're trying to get to in the bottom multiwindow, but you can use the blocked app in the bottom multiwindow. Applock blocks the Recent Apps altogether so that solves the problem.
I didn't know this app even existed so thank you again for your help!
When all else fails, either limit your child's access, or consider it in a supervised setting.
Relying on software to limit access is not a good plan. Your son figured it out once, chances are he will again. Kids have nothing but time and in the case of a horny male child, determination.
