I am unable to Sideload APK's. I'm trying SwiftKey Beta for example. When the install manager pulls up with the permissions listed, the Install button on the bottom right is unresponsive. I can hit cancel, but it won't let me select Install. I tried some other APK's, so its not just Swiftkey. I did allow unknown Sources in the Security Settings section. I rooted using Chainfires CF Autoroot. But I think that has nothing to do with it. Anyone have the same issues?

Ok very odd. I had power cycled my phone. Tried installing the Apk and it works now. Just FYI, in case anyone runs into this issue.

You didn't happen to have any screen dimming apps active, did you? Because Android disables installing apps when they're active to prevent malware from covering up install buttons.
Yes, I was running Screen Filter. I was in bed and did not want to wake up my girl. Genius man! Thank you. Did not know that.

Does anyone know of any fix for this? If Windows users had to set their default browser every time Microsoft put out an update to Internet Explorer, they'd have killed Bill Gates by now. Once a default is set I never again want to be asked what to use no matter if I updated the app in question, the other apps I could have chosen but obviously didn't for a reason, or I install or update some app that suddenly gains that capability.
It can't be that hard to set default flags and to prevent any apps from clearing them by merely being installed or updated.
Has anyone else had this gripe? I can't believe I'm alone. Is there any workarounds? PDroid? Some app? Anything?
No apps that I know of that will keep the default. they hold their setting until the app updates. I just click the button to make it a default again. You can turn off auto update if you have that turned on and then you will not have a problem.

But it is a problem. U very often need the latest versions of things to work properly like Skype which is a great example cuz updating that screws up the default calling, messaging, and I think video playback too. Then there are stupid ones like bit tornado which wants to be the default for every download link. It's just ridiculous! Imagine having to turn off Windows Update or anti-virus updates just so u don't have to re-specify all your damned defaults! It's ludicrous!
Well I would rather just click it then having to endure the alternative of the froyo days or even worse the iPhone.

Is anyone else seeing Google now constantly trying to refresh but never finding anything?
All I see is the weather going nuts in my notification bar, and Google now trying to work with the refresh bar going all the time. Of course the screenshot doesn't tell much because it is just a still image, but the bar under the Google search bar just keeps trying to work but never stops.
Also, my Google keyboard keeps texting itself to the default keyboard even if I set Swype as default.

Hey guys,
my one mini is rooted and i use it with magio rom v 3
Problem is the volume key wake funktion.
Sometimes it works but most of time it doesn´t work.
I tried Version 3, 4 and 5 but it´s always the same.
How can i fix it? It´s much more comfortable to use the volume buttons.
Hope somebody can help me.
Sorry for my english but i am from germany.

I'm currently using Magio R3 and have been playing around with Volume Wake most of the day. So far it has been working fine. it hadn't failed on me once, but I will keep trying. Though I use the proximity sensor to turn on my phone which means I don't have to press any buttons.
I'm guessing your using Sense Toolbox Xposed framework add-on with the Volume Wake function? Have you tried updating Sense Toolbox from the Xposed app? I'm currently using the latest version, maybe that makes some difference? Also have you installed any kind of battery saver which might put your phone into deep sleep?

This can be the reason for my problems. I can´t update the sense tool box.
If i try i get the notice, that the update is not installed becuse a package with the same name
but in conflict with an other signature .... something like that .
How i can update the sense tool box?
Hope you understand my bad english

Are you s-off? In guessing not. If so you could use titanium or something similar to remove old toolbox first, then install new one.
Otherwise try Aroma File Manager from recovery, and delete the apk from System > Apps folder and install latest from Xposed. If after it doesn't work as expected, move the newly installed version apk from Data > Apps back to it's original location in System > Apps.

So, yesterday i installed 4.3 stock rom and than the latest xposed installer and the latest tool box.
But it´s still the same. It works one or two times and than no more.
I thought it is an app that make problems but i deleted a lot of them.
That´s all i know to do.
F...
i´m sure this a kind of deep sleep problem because all the other mods from the tool box works
without any problems.

I think this may run deeper, maybe kernel related? but that's where my knowledge stops. With my setup it's still been working flawlessly the last couple of days.
Maybe it has to do with where the app is installed, user or system? Maybe your superuser version? I do have a lot of apps installed with a few background processes that may keep things alive when the phone is idle. Could be a lot of things stopping this from working..

You write that you use the proximity sensor to wake up your phone.
That´s great, how does it works?
perhaps thats better than the volume keys.

I use gravity screen on off https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree. I don't use all the features of this app, just the proximity on, keep screen on with motion, and the gravity off feature, which turns your phone off when upside down. It runs a process in the background, but it's a small amount of ram it uses.

OK i try these app too.
Thanks for this information
I used package disabler pro to debloat my phone, however certain functions do not work even after enabling all disabled apps and rebooting. For example I cant give greenify special privileges because the allow button is grey, and i cannot install new themes. When i hit download a popup happens and disappears right away. Anyone have similar issues or a solution (other than FDR)?

No. Without root you can't do a whole lot. Just cut your loses and do a reset. At least you know now what not to do. Just disable stuff within phone app screen. If it can't be disabled within the settings menu then leave it be.
Updated to Pie. The split screen option is not in the menu no matter what app I try it with. I've checked every place I could think of in Good Lock, Nova Launcher & Samsung settings & can't find anything that would be preventing it. I even tried under Samsung Launcher & had the same result. If anyone has any ideas, please share.

If you have a specific app that you need to use in Multu-window with YouTube, you can also use the apps edge panel to open the pair simultaneously.

Thanks, but as you can see from the picture I posted, I know how to do it. The problem is the split screen option is not available.

I tried a few things but couldn't replicate what you are experiencing. Are you running Good Lock? I know it has a feature that modifies multi window, but I don't know if it would cause the issue you have.
Did you take the ota directly from the carrier? Or did you flash the new pie update? Mine came from the carrier last Thursday. Today, I backed up everything and did a factory reset and it feels like it's running smoother. Maybe that could fix your issue.
Turns out it was a bug in Good Lock's Multistar. They pushed an update last night that fixed the problem for me. Thanks to all for trying to help.
