[Fixed]Package Disabler: Re-enabling not working? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

So I started fiddling with Bk Package Disabler on mostly bloatware and following advices. So long I've only disabled Sound Detection, AASAservices and just tried Smart Capture.
The problem, is I had the idea to be sure that package disabler (not uninstaller as far as I'm concerned) worked as intended, meaning that of course the package or services are not running anymore, but also that I could re-enable those packages if need.
And it's the panic: I tried to re-enable Smart Capture, reactivated it in settings but when I god into the Apps listing it's showed inactive and neither can I Force Stop it nor enable it (since you can't disable it anyway).
Edit: I simply though taking screenshot only needed a quick button push, you actually have maintain the button that's why it "wasn't working". False alert.

Easy way to disable haptic feedback (vibration)-No root needed

Annoyed by the haptic feedback?
Well, I guess that if you read this thread you are
I found an easy way to disable it, and I want to share it with the community.
Download lbe latest version from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422479
After it got downloaded turn of wi-fi and data usage (I will explain why later). Install it, open it.
In the notification panel you will see the lbe icon, click on it. A control panel window will pop up and you will see that amongst other toggles there's a "haptic" icon. Disable it, reboot, done!
Then if it worked you can choose to use lbe, or to uninstall it.
As for me I uninstalled it because first it uses a lot of battery juice, and then the fact that it's a chinese closed source app, and that it connects to some web sites to do who knows what, disturbed me (that's why I told you to disable wi-fi and data before to install it). Plus some people complained that it messed their phone, so use at your own risks if you decide to keep it.
Enjoy your grand without haptic feedback, such a relief!
This is the battery saving application I'm using. Already included haptic feedback.. One doubt y to disable haptic disable.. It automatically disable haptic feedback when u enabled power saving mode. If u disable power saving mode. Haptic feedback automatically turns on..

Accessibility Services Issue

Hi all,
I tried to enable a couple of my accessibility services today, and I get a warning message saying:
"Talkback and the options below cannot both be enabled. The options below will be disabled.
Air Browse
Air View
Multi-Window
etc. etc."
Any ideas why I would have to lose these samsung options? Also I removed Talkback using Titanium Backup I think...
I would also like to know this, very frustrating as i bought the phone for some of these features + more -.-
Try tinkering with the app/service settings, sometimes the disabling option can be found there instead.

"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.

Disabling PowerGenie

This is the power manager on Huawei devices. May be helpful for normal use, but useless when trying to create a service which is always scanning; it kills white-listed apps and stop push notifications. Has anyone had any success with disabling this?
Ideally It would be preferable to disable the service in case it is ever require again, but just want to see it gone.
Disabling it should be possible. Try going to Settings -> Battery, then tapping on the gear in the upper right corner. Disable "Close excessively power-intensive apps". It may not be possible to disable it completely, not without root at least. BTW, I am on Nougat, I do not think this option was present on MarshMallow.
I had the same issue and generated this small APK out of a simple Tasker job. It removes PowerGenie and enables me to receive notifications again.
does it brings any benefits having it ?

NFC toggle Off Automatically During Call - Clicking Workaround

**EDIT - THIS IS NO LONGER REQUIRED AS OF .025, ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED VIA GOOGLE UPDATE**
Hey Guys,
I know a lot of you (myself included) are experiencing the NFC clicking issue on your Pixel 2's.
I wanted to show you a workaround, which will automatically disable NFC during a call, and re-enable it when the call ends. This is a temporary fix which you can use until the following promise is fulfilled...:
"Hey All,
We are validating a software update to address faint clicking sounds on some Pixel 2 devices. The update will be made available in the coming weeks. The clicking noise being reported does not affect the performance of your device but if you find it bothersome you can temporarily turn off NFC in Settings > Connected devices > NFC. "

This workaround uses the Macrodroid application. It requires root (Not yet available as far as I am aware) or an ADB Hack (What I used) for this to work.
You can grant Macrodroid "System" access by performing the following (ADB Hack):
https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/mac...23&p=10455&hilit=WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS#p10455
This will allow Macrodroid to enable and disable NFC WITHOUT root.
Once access has been granted create the following macros:
Macro #1:
Name: NFC Off
Triggers: Call Active (Any Contact, Any Number, Non Contact, Unknown Caller)
Actions: NFC Off
Macro #2:
Name: NFC On
Triggers: Call Ended (Any Contact, Any Number, Non Contact, Unknown Caller)
Action: NFC On
You can disable the persistent notification icon by opening Macrodroid, going to settings > Notification Bar Options > Force Hide Icon.
This has been working great for me, and I know it looks like a lot of work but its a great alternative to manually toggling NFC off and on.
Macrodroid is also super useful in general so, enjoy!
Thanks for this. Very good idea until we get a fix from Google.
I too saw the MacroDroid page you refer to and was just going to post here about it - but saw you'd beaten me to it by several days! It works really well!
I also use Macrodroid to put my phone into silent mode overnight when it's charging AND connected to my home wifi AND it's after 9pm. Disconnecting the power reverts it to normal mode. I love MacroDroid - it's much easier to understand if you're not a programmer than any of its competitors like Tasker.
