My phone downloaded an auto update this morning which seems to be a security patch. After installing, every time an app is run with accessibility permissions or Device manager permission it continues to flash a yellow notification on the top reminding that it might not be safe and click to stop the permissions.
No matter how much I ignore it end up ending the service.
I really need device manager permission for my office email. Please help.
I've the same problem here too bro ...

same here i need a lot of apps that uses accessibility, any suggestion?

Since having an xperia arc, I have used system tuner pro/es file explorer/titanium backup in order to remove system apps.
However in CM11, I have been having difficulty removing system apps, I get the messages "could not remove application" or "failed to remove application" etc etc depending what app I was trying to remove things with.
I've just discovered why this happens and how to solve it easily.
This may help others in same situation.
So... from googleing a bit I found this thread:

So from what I've read, Kitkat has introduced some security features... I'll cut and paste the rest.
Remember to go say thanks to the dev!
"There are lots of folks around who already has KitKat on their devices. But kitkat comes with new secutity enhancement, SELinux, put into "enforcing mode". Maybe This thing is good from the point of security, but it breaks some Root Apps, like my Ultimate Dynamic Navbar, so I created this app.
What does it do? This app can change modes of SELinux:
Run app, give root access, select the mode you want SELinux to be in(permissive or enforcing) and that's all. Every time you reboot your device app will execute the script to change SELinux to the mode you've selected. Simple and stupid."

Hello everybody
I just updated my Nexus 4 to Lollipop 5.0.1 by wiping it and installing the factory image from Google
The most annoying bug I found is that when the UI prompts me a dialog, it doesn't work.
For example, when I try to install an APK file, this pops up (see Screenshot_2014-12-13-12-27-42.png in attachments), and I can only tap on "cancel". the "install" button doesn't work. Everything else seems to work fine, the navigation bar and scrolling the notification menu from the top of the screen give no problem whatsoever. This doesn't seem to depend on the APK file, nor on how do I send the command (I tried installing with ES file explorer, Dropbox, and an app called Easy Installer). I can't figure out a workaround, so I am unable to install APK's on the phone.
Another example are SuperSU requests (see Screenshot_2014-12-13-12-35-17.png ). Here the situation is worse: nothing in the dialog works, neither "deny", nor "grant", nor the box or the menu that read "ask again". Luckily there is an obvious workaround, as I can just open SuperSU and grant the permissions from there (the dialog in the SuperSU app seems to be proprietary and not from the Lollipop UI)
Probably useful info: I am using stock Android 5.0.1, rooted, with TWRP recovery and I installed Busybox (in /xbin).
I have no idea how to repair this. Can you give me some advice? If not, is there some workaround to the problem of installing APK's?
Thanks for the help and the attention.
P.S. This is my first post on this forum. I looked at the rules, but am new. So if I unknowingly broke some rules or posted offtopic I beg your pardon in advance. I also looked for other threads reporting the same problem, but found none.
I've read some posts where the user experienced the same or similar issues as yours. If I'm not mistaken, the issue was caused by some sort of a screen dimming software.

You were right. I was using an app called Lux 1.75 (sometimes called Lux Dash) that is an automatic screen dimmer. As soon as I stopped it, everything started working again.
Thanks a lot!

Yep- it was driving me crazy. Worked fine in KitKat but not Lollipop. Uninstalled Lux Dash and now hibernate works automatically after turning on Greenify in Accessibility.
thanks for the tip- prevented me from going crazy!!

After the latest update, I believe its the 3 or 4th on 5.1.1, When go through the usual Settings >> About Device >> Software Update, the settings app force closes with the message "Unfortunately Settings has stopped".
Now my questions are :
1) Will I still receive updates OTA (i.e. Marshmallow)?
2) Have a terminal app on my device, can I check for updates via that?
3) Can check for updates via ADB in Mac terminal?
4) Is it possible to force Smart Switch to check for update rather that have it as an automated check?
Sorry for all the questions.
Any/All help greatly appreciated
ok, a little update.. Im still having the same issue (very very frustrating).
So, I use Nova Launcher and had a dig through the Activities, specifically the Settings activities, I found only 1 pertaining to updates. SO I made a widget with this activities the result was an "access denied" message.
Please, I need to fix this.
issue has been solved by OTA update to 6.0.1.. can a Mod please close this thread. thanks
Hi All,
As usual it is the first place for me to look for help.
I updated my A5 2016 device with the latest security update. While installing, I was assured that i would be able to uninstall that update.
I couldn't.
But this is not the actual problem.
Now I am unable to grant permissions to apps like Camera, Storage etc because whenever I try to do that it says Screen Overlay Detected on which screen none of the apps are turned on including the system apps. I am really annoyed with this feature (or bug) of the Android Marshmallow. I seek your help in solving this.
I am rooted with custom Xposed ver 86.
Try unchecked all screen overlays, even system app ones? Also, there might be another screen overlay that might not hv been listed. Eg: if u hv pie with gravitybox enabled you have to disable it in the app itself.

Thank you so much for the valuable Help.
I recently found that some of my apps crashed suddenly and that the following error popped up: Unfortunately Phone has Stopped, Unfortunately ES File Explorer Has Stopped.
After I click OK it pops up again. So in a wonderfully foolish step I uninstalled the Phone App and now the phone will not reboot.
I uninstalled Xposed but nothing helped. Finally after lots of research on XDA and otherwise I flashed The Stock Firmware for my Phone SM-A510FD.
It rebooted just as fine but now the same problem is there and is not resolved. Moreover if i Open some app like Play Books while i am getting the error, the popup of the error stops until i open the Phone app again. I opened my phone in Safe MOde and saw that the same problem is also there which means it is not caused by some third party apps. PLease help.

I seem to have found the solution for the problem regarding crashing of the Phone App. The Phone App uses Screen Overlay in which we select SIM1 or SIM2. Turning that off would result in hampering its functionality. After i did turn on the screen overlay for Phone App, it is functioning just as fine and no crashes for atleast the phone app. I wonder to what lengths i went to solve this issue and the issue lied in my thing only.
Every 15-20 minutes, a popup message comes up with telling me there is a software update available. I have already rooted my phone, and attempting to install the update just fails, but the popup continues to come up even when it fails. Is there a package I can disable/freeze or somewhere I can go to get this annoying thing to go away? It's got a notification that appears with a little syncing icon in the bottom corner in the notification bar, so I figure there is something somewhere I can disable, but not sure where to look...
Use a root file explorer to delete this folder system/priv-app/wssyncmldm or you can freeze it.

Removed the folder and reset the phone; notification still came up in the notification bar. Popup also still comes up on the screen.
Got rid of it for me, I also removed the 2 other folders below it. The other wss.... folders. Hope that helps. Edit: forgot I was in the VZW forum, I have att maybe there is another app for updates. Sorry
Try to freeze "SDM", that should do the trick. If it doesn't clear it, then clear the cache for SDM and then freeze it.

Searched for a package named SDM, couldn't find it; same thing searching for an app named SDM in the Application Manager. Is there another name for it? Because I searched also for something with the name of "Samsung D... M..." and couldn't find anything with that name...

I'm sorry, it's both of these I believe
System updates (com.samsung.sdm)
System updates (com.samsung.sdmviewer)
Right on the nose. Disabled and haven't seen the messages/notifications since.

Make sure you disable securitylogagent also.
I disabled these two with package disabler pro.
System updates (com.samsung.sdmviewer)
securitylogagent
I don't see this package:
System updates (com.samsung.sdm)
I am still getting the annoying notifications. Search has not revealed any other solutions.

Try to disable diagmonagent in package disabler it should do the trick.
This did not work for me.
I enabled all the packages. I then force stopped, cleared cache, and memory in application manager. I then disabled all three again and restarted.
The next day the popup returned.
In Titanium backup, simply open up both system update packages, freeze them then long press them each till you can select "open system details"
Once you open system details force stop and select notifications
set all notifications to off.
Once completed you can go into settings/ and select System updates, it should FC
Hope this helps.

Doesn't Titanium backup require root?

Yes. Maybe you can disable the same apps going to settings/application manager/ more -system apps/ system updates
As i have located them.
I think this is the fix! I have not received any update notifications since.
More comprehensive instructions?
G935V non-rooted (came from rooted) and I cannot get rid of the OTA notifications. I found and disabled securitylogagent and com.samsung.sdm.sdmviewer but cannot find com.samsung.sdm Still get the notification, can disable temporarily by clearing cache of system updates through system app manager, but they return later. Did someone figure out how to disable update notifications, as they do annoy me! Thank you!
Go to Application Manager for Samsung Galaxy S5 SM G-900V and "Turn Off"
1. System Updates (about 1.6mb or more in size)
2. System Updates (about 156 kb in size , rIght below it)
