Anyone else tried this su app? I've been using it for awhile now with no problems and no toasts! Minimalistic, but negatives are no logfile or grant list and no UI, but it works well and hasn't gotten corrupted (which is not the same thing I can say for superSU). I'm sure the shortfalls will be resolved with upgrades. All in all I like it. Especially the toastless granting. And you won't find a nicer or more responsive dev than Robert N. Weird su prompt thought.
So this grants superuser rights to any app that asks for it, without user confirmation or even user notification? Sounds like a huge security hole if you ask me.

That last sentence makes me think it does actually prompt the user for granting the inital access, but it will not notify by default.
Please note, elfaure, that this can be done with SuperSU as well -- at least the disabling of notifications. I cannot vouch for the absence of 'corruption' because I have never experienced it with SuperSU .

No toasts and no notifications EVER. Its all handled transparently in the background. Huge security hole? - You bet it is. The blackest of holes. So is leaving USB debugging enabled but I do that too in case I need ADB in a brick bind. If its not enabled when you need it and you can't get there to enable it then your hosed. That was @florck 's saving grace. Without ADB even @_that couldn't have fixed it.
Its only designed for *developers* that know what they are doing and don't load malicious apps from "unknown sources". I don't quite fall into that catagory but I respect its design intent and use it wisely, not to mention never lending my tablet to anyone nor leaving it laying around for someone to play with. I know I can turn off the toasts with superSU, its the corruption that I can't handle. Its happened to me twice, only when its installed "as a system app". No real failure per say. Root wasn't failing for any reason, but in the terminal my su "#" prompt just disappeared twice and left me with only a box for a prompt. Just bugged the living h%&l out of me, that's all.

I just got this phone last week and I love it...except for this one annoying issue:
It appears for certain apps, when there's a popup window/dialog, I have trouble making the dialog responding to my taps.
For example, I have privateinternetaccess app, when I hit connect, a popup comes up asking if I trust this app, and I cannot tap to check "I trust this application" checkbox.
Another example: when sideloading an apk, the screen shows a list of permissions the app requires and asks me to accept it, but I cannot tap "Install"...
A third example: SuperSU prompt me when an app requests for root, and I cannot make the popup respond to any taps. However, today I discovered that in SuperSU there's a setting to disable tapjacking prevention and when I checked it, it worked! I'm wondering if the other two issues are related.
Anyone else experience this issue? I did search the forum first and so far only http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189703 thread sounds like something that's remotely related to my issue and it got 0 replies...

Are you using lux? There is a known issue with that and the tap jacking feature in su
My God....this was driving me crazy. I installed a different ROM/kernel combo trying to figure it out! In my case, I was only experiencing the issue with the SuperSU popup dialogue. I flashed back to stock and it seems to have fixed it for now. I am using Lux BTW.

Hello
I hope I'm putting this in the right forum, and please be aware that I'm a beginner.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy 7. I replaced the recovery with TWRP and installed SuperSU. I only really wanted to delete all the bloatware on the phone, which I did and then disabled root access again in the SuperSU App.
However, I'm now getting constant security notifications. They say, "threat found" and "unauthorised actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo these actions", with a big red "Restart" button. It also asks me to install "My Knox" and some Anti-Malware stuff. I suppose McAfee products, as it's all "powered by McAfee".
Do I need to be concerned with these notifications? If not, how do I stop them? If yes, how do I deal with them?
Thanks!
Is it coming in browser popups or in phone?If it is in phone try use an adblock.
It's a notification that's coming up on the actual phone.
Out of curiosity, why would an adblock fix that?
Thanks for your help.
I have reclaimed ownership of my phones 'bixby' button with an app called bxActions and it works pretty nice, however the app claims it can work even better if I grant it permissions by running something on my PC through USB. It sounds sketchy.. Does anyone know what happens when you do it?
I'm mainly concerned about permanently locking it into a bxActions button, and perhaps even voiding warranty (does this count as rooting?).
Is it safe/worth it?
It is safe for you to do that, it doesn't count as rooting since it's only executing adb commands. I don't know about warranty though if you ever have to send your phone away for warranty I'd delete the app and the folder just in case
Ok, so nothing is permanent or invasive enough for Samsung to have a fit over it?
In that case ill just do it. Because frik bixby.
Just do it. Its ok

Go to settings, battery, battery optimization and ensure your concerned app is showing you "don't optimize".
Try this and lemme know
I did that already. I searched and saw that that was supposed to be the solution.....but not working for me
In the same settings there is an advanced optimise (top right ... Button)
Make sure that's not ON

this device faces network drops, often not recognized if an app wouldn't show an alert like FB messenger.
these drops are mostly responsible for missed pus messages because the device is not ready at the moment the push happens and it will not be repeated every few seconds (delay)
even worse if one is using several devices, of which one is i.e. at home and the other on the road. while a the working device will receive the push notification the OP6 would not ( you can check for network drops where it shows the IP number, it happens on wifi as well as data and both wifi frequencies BTW.)
so in the last case the message will never arrive because it's delivered, (to the working device at home) and hence no more push attempt will happen until next message arrives.
i and others posted this in OP support, as mentioned above, open you network settings and watch the IP number, it will disappar and re-appear.
also you can use FB messenger where you will frequently see an orange bar saying "connectin" intermittently with a green bar saying "connected"
of course i dunno if that happens on EVERY device but at least it happens on MANY including mine.
since i'm always having 2 phones on man i'm receiving all mails and messages on at least on of the two which also illustrates quite well how often a push will reach one of my various other devices but miss the OP6.
Go to OP support and report the issue if you face it, that way they get aware of the full scale of the issue.
Yep, notifications are patchy for me. Sometimes they arrive on time, other times they arrive but silently without triggering the alert sound. Other times they only arrive after waking the phone up.
And yes, I've set to not optimise these apps and turned off advanced optimisation. It's a bug I reckon, hopefully fixed in 5.1.6
Well, somehow it's working...for now. I did a few things. I updated the Groupme app. I think I changed the notifications from urgent to high. Something worked

Yeah I've mine set to urgent also, but no real difference. Simple things at this stage for a company like Oneplus, that should not be an issue
I've been having the same issue. Some apps work fine and some don't give me notifications until I actually open the app and refresh it. One is Power Facebook and the other is my visual voicemail app. It's highly annoying as I use the phone for business too. Disabling then in battery optimizations does nothing.
If you have advanced optimization turned on in Battery settings, it will prevent a lot of apps that need to do things in the background from working. It will definitely affect push notifications. I have it on but I've exempted a bunch of apps I want running.
Oops, n/m, see this was discussed already.
I'm not sure if it was switching the notification from urgent to high that did it but it was the last thing I did before it started working....it did go back to urgent by itself afterwards though...notifications still working now
..guys any other facing this issue? Even after update to pie stable recently.. I get this problem, notifications arrive to every other device except op6. When i unlock the phone only then notification arrives...all battery optimizations are off..
any solutions?
I got the same issue with Threema. None of the mentioned settings worked for me.
Any ideas?
Same problem for me. Super annoying. Is this an oxygen os or android problem? Would installing a custom ROM help?
It's the DOZE feature in android that is causing the delay in receiving notifications. Setting an app to "Don't Optimize" does not help; this used to work on nougat when I was using HTC U11 but this does not work in Oneplus 6 PIE.
Run the command below in ADB to completely disable DOZE.
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
The down side is that it will reset to "enable" after reboot so you will need to run the command, again, after rebooting. To get around this, I use Automagic to execute command "dumpsys deviceidle disable" after reboot. You can use Tasker for this, too.
After disabling DOZE, push notifications are received almost immediately. I often see notification for the same message on both my PC and phone.

I'm rooted with Android 10 on my pixel4a. I don't want to upgrade to 11 just yet, but I keep getting the annoying update notices. Is there an app or module I can freeze with titanium to turn off the notices?

An app from Google Play called "Notification off" did the trick for me on my Sony xz2c.

Because i reported it
I posted a similar question in the correct forum with no replies. The Notification Off app in the Play Store hasn't been updated since 2015.
And anyway, not a normal notification...the full screen one that appears overnight every night. There should be a process that can be blocked or turned off on a rooted phone(?), but I can't find it.
Same question. I don't need a daily reminder that my OS is is out of date.
Testing the below on a Marlin with Android 9 & TRWP backup before I actually try on Sunfish with Android 10.
1. Usb debugging on
2. Computer with adb drivers
Open command window in pc and connect your device and run these commands one by one.
Commands are
Adb devices (for checking device is connected)
Adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.backupconfirm
exit
Done. No more update notification.

Thanks for the tip on the process to look for. I froze it using Titanium Backup and I'll see if that solves it.
EDIT: Freezing that app process does nothing. I froze it and then got another full screen notification a few hours later.
After some trial and error, I think the correct process is Dynamic System Update. I froze that process but I'm still receiving notifications.
I then found that even though the process is disabled in TiBackup, it still has notifications turned on.
Go to Settings/Apps & Notifications
Select see all apps
Top right 3-dots/select show system
Scroll down to Dynamic System Update.
The notification can't be turned off.
I cleared storage and cache for it and restricted battery use.

Could be a Titanium issue..........................no ill effects on the Pixel XL so I removed file with ADB command of pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.backupconfirm on the Pixel 4A..............no update notices overnight..............will report back in a few days to confirm.
Edit: 24 hours I get notice for update............
logcat-entry for that popup seems to be
Code:
START u0 {act=android.settings.SYSTEM_UPDATE_COMPLETE flg=0x10048000 pkg=com.google.android.gms cmp=com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog (has extras)} from uid 10147
on my pixel 4a. sounds a lot like the process described on that other post here, so ..
i’ve gone ahead and disabled that process. fingers crossed.

Thanks for posting this information.
But if it causes some other problems can that be reversed, and if so how?
I originally had hoped for a Tinatiaum freeze solution so that I could easily reverese it if there any problems, but it doesn't seem that anyone has yet found a program that can be frozen that will eliminate the popups.
I'm beginning to suspect that a lot of Apple OS programers have infiltrated Android and are turing Android into Apple little by little, until one day we'll wake up and find that every one has to ask Steve Job's estate for permission to use their phone.

"pm uninstall -kb -user 0 ..." is not permanent (simply 'disables' the executable) and can be easily reversed. A bit of googling will surface procedures.
Enforcing updates and associated reminders is good security hygiene. No evil intent IMHO.

I'm fine with security updates, but unfortunately, the updates always seem to break something that once worked, so I want to wait until the items that weren't supposed to be broken by new security are fixed, And the "evil" part comes from programmers making aesthetic changes for no reason other than someone thinks "this would be nicer if..."

There isn't any "com.google.android.gms" or anything similar in my Titanium list. A search in Titanium for "com.google.android.gms" returns two items: "Google Location History 1.0" and "Google Play...33172415" - is that second one the item I need to freeze?

I too wish to block auto-updates...and I have a few questions for you...
1) This thread seem to indicate that you need to disable the package " pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog " using ADB and that this package is not visible in TiBa, so did you use ADB, and if not, what did you freeze in TiBa?
2) You also said "(wrong setting in developer options)" - what did you mean by this? I'm asking because I turned that option off in developer settings and I was hoping that would stop the auto-updates.
