Hi all
I'm having problems with the accessibility options in the CM12.1 port for my SM-P900. You can set which applications have access to other applications on your device e.g. letting Lastpass have access to other applications so that it can fill forms and passwords for you.
The option to enable this is in the 'Accessibility' section of the settings. I open this section, I toggle the option to 'On', which then opens a confirmation dialogue to confirm that you do want to turn it on. The problem I then have it that I cannot press the 'OK' option no matter what I do! The 'Cancel' button work perfectly but the confirmation will not work no matter what!
I've read other threads that this may be an overlay issue to stop tapjacking exploits (say, for example, if you have Twilight installed). I have turned off all overlays, yet I'm still not able to proceed.
Does anyone have any ideas or insight?
Ta
Found that it was related to Lux app for me...
If, by chance, you have Lux or Lux Dash installed I discovered it necessary to disable Lux and only then I was able to turn on Accessibility for LastPass. System would not allow me to do so prior to disable Lux.
Once turned on for LastPass I re-enabled Lux and all is working as expected. I do hope this helps as it is was very frustrating for me and was only one post which pointed to Lux as the root cause. They uninstalled but that was not necessary for me, disable / re-enable works the trick!

Mine was related to "copy bubble float" when I turned that off I was able to enable last pass and then turn copy bubble back on.

Ok, so I may be a little iffy here.
I have tasker and secure settings w/ helper installed and I'm running the latest version of cleanrom lite.
So in secure settings I have the GPS option enabled via helper and in Tasker I'm able to select it as a misc action.
What I want to do is have it enable GPS when I launch the Map, Nav, or Places application and disable when I leave them. I think I have it set up properly, but my problem is it isn't enabling the GPS. The profile will enable but it won't change the setting.
Any feedback here?
Edit: I found the fix. I feel derpy. For anyone looking to do something similar once you have Secure Settings w/ Helper installed and you go to set the setting in Tasker do not attempt to go Misc - > GPS. It won't work. Instead select Plugin -> Secure Settings -> Configuration and choose GPS. That'll get it working for you just peachy.

I'm rooted, I have Superuser, busybox, secure settings and helper all installed. I have "green circles" at each location in helper indicating that I can change all these things but when i hit "Plugin>secure settings>configuration" I only get the top half of the list...not the bottom half.
can someone help?
Edited to add: found the answer; the right side green check boxes needed to be checked.
Thank you thank you. I've been looking for this fix. love tasker not easy to use though
Thank you!

I've tried this I've set it to enabled and toggle and nothing happens when I open my satnav app waze.
Any ideas
Just as a note : be careful with this particular formula in Tasker. I use it as well, but the problem is if you're using, say, a navigation program. You open it up, Tasker sees it open, enables GPS, everything is right with the world. You're chugging along. You stop at a red light, and... get a text or something, and you tap to see it. As soon as you switch away from the navigation app, even if it's running in the background, Tasker will count that as "exiting" the program, and disable GPS (at least in my experience). Your navigation app will still run in the background but not have GPS to tell you where to go until you bring it to the foreground again.
Can you get Tasker/GPS to work on an un-rooted phone?
No.

Dangit.
Google is pretty persistent in wanting to improve on my Location accuracy when I turn on the GPS, and doesn't take "never" for an answer to the question to record "anonymous" location data. Annoying, very annoying, NO WANT ?
Is there a way of shutting Google up forever?
+1 also wanna know how this notification can be disabled. is there a service that can be blocked or something?
this is so stupidly, angreringly, frustratingly upsetting. there should be a box that says "disagree forever". they obviously have their own interests in mind because this isn't an oversight. sounds like a conspiracy? then do what I did:
1. agree to high accuracy mode
2. go into setting and change it to "gps" only
3. disable location
4. enable location
5. watch as you're forced back into "high accuracy" mode even though you've taken the steps to manually change to "gps only"
this is fucking stupid and it shows that it's for google's benefit, not mine.
Wifi auto connecting even when on mobile data
sorry for posting here but i have recently had problem with my OPO. I have my home wifi as a network as my remebered network but the problem is that the phone auto on wifi even when i have mobile data turned on. it tries to connect to a open wifi network even when i dont want tp
easily solved by turning wifi off
as an update, i realize now why every time you turn on GPS, this message appears. the reason is that when you first turn on GPS, IT IMMEDIATELY TURNS ITSELF TO "high accuracy" mode! and every time you turn to this mode, it prompts you to agree.
IF THEY JUST MADE IT FUCKING STAY AT THE SETTING YOU SELECT, THIS WOUDLN'T BE A PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT OBVIOUSLY, THEY'RE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE FOR THEIR PURPOSES! IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE FIXED, IT NEEDS TO NOT BE INTENTIONALLY SET THIS WAY!

there's an xposed module that automatically disables the dialog and changes your setting back to GPS only:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/org.brainkiller.xposed.denylocationconsent
I was seeking and suggesting Mohammad to choose both options - yes or no.
Finally found this module but it doesn't work on my phone.
Seems like giving folk choice to choose permanently this option is not desired by someone up there ...
just in case someone will looking for option how to disagree again after you click once on agree
on my Lollipop (HTC one M7) with google play service 9.6.83
to disable improve location accuracy:
Settings > Apps > Google Play services
click on [Manage space]
and then click on [Clear all data]
be aware that it will clear your google play services settings of course...
also it will start to ask you again if you want to help google to collect anonymous data, but it will turn on location in Device Only mode and then you can just ignore that question about disagree / agree and go back to your application / home screen without answering. Or you can use that Xposed module Deny Location Consent to disagree always

After a quick read of the topic and assuming you have android N you can't use xposed because it's not supported on N
On my OnePlus X running OxygenOS 3.1.4 the above mentioned x-posed module works like a charm! Thanx!

Was there a solution to this infuriating "Improve location accuracy?" popup that doesn't require Xposed?
I'm using a custom Oreo ROM on my Moto G4 Plus and started using e-Robot to switch on/off my GPS with screen on/off, but everytime I switch the screen on, I get this annoying popup. I do NOT want WiFi used to "improve location accuracy"! it's GPS or nothing!
I used Magisk on Oreo but can't use Xposed as it causes issues with the custom ROM.

That popup has been added since nougat iirc, it's annoying af but never liked for a way to remove it since I don't use GPS that often.
But anyways now I have xposed on my OnePlus 5t running Android 8.1 so if you had a working module that you know you can try.
xposed for N is official since october....

I've had this problem on my LG v20 driving me nuts for the last month or so ever since it updated to Oreo it is a stock h910 unlocked.
But here's what I just did that appears to be working I went into settings applications and disabled Google Play Store and the services application. I then find Gmail doesn't work Hangouts doesn't work so I reabled the service but I have yet to enable the Play Store and I have yet to have gotten the pop up.
I realized that every time I turn on my phone WiFi - GPS turns on itself too.
Could never avoid it whatever I tried, pls advise?
Whenever I manually turn it off - it turns on again by itself.

In a samsung forum it has been the wifi setting.
Maybe it could be the same here: setting/network&internet/wi-fi/wi-fi preference/turn on wifi automatically (switch it off).
So you could have a look in your wifi settings- should be similar - more or less.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I got probably misunderstood - it is not the WiFi that turns on itself, but it is phone's GPS that does automatically ON when I activate my WiFi.
And there is no such setting for GPS (auto on) in my settings.
So my problem is still pending solution.
It could be an app or a system proccess that relates my GPS with my WiFi, just no idea how to pinpoint the bastardo.
I'm trying to enable Accessibility features (e.g. the Universal Switch). However, I can't enable any of the features, as I can't for whatever reason press the "OK" button when the dialog asking for permissions pops up; I've tried it for different Accessibility features, pressing "OK" does nothing ("CANCEL" takes me out of the dialog, as expected). For reference, a screenshot of the dialog I'm referring to is located at imgur with the URL identifier "Lwg0seF" (I'm a new user, forgive me for not being able to directly post the screenshot here :/ )
I have no idea how to circumvent this. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?
Please help, I can't use my phone properly unless I get this working. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I don't know how this happened, but I've just tried it again (haven't made any changes), the permission granting works now. It seems the problem solved itself somehow.
did you installed a rom that was debloated of samsung software ?
because i´ve had this problem before and it turned out the rom i was using needed the samsund TTS and voice software for me to use the accessibility option i needed
not sure if this is your case, hope it helps
Hello there,
as written in the title I am trying to figure out why the settings app does not show the apps list to turn off dark mode for sigle applications.
CONTEXT:
MIUI Global 13.0.1 (Android 11), Dark mode enabled.
Some minor (no root/no roms flashing) tinkering has been made on the device, including:
Uninstalled some community-recognized bloatware via adb
Revoked some highly-sensitive intrusive permission for some system/not-system apps from Settings > Privacy Protection > Special Permissions, however no permission has been revoked from the "Settings" app
EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:
Opening Settings > Display > More dark mode options shows a list of apps (under "Individual apps") for whom you can disable the made-in-miui dimming.
OBTAINED BEHAVIOUR:
The "individual apps" list is empy, as shown in the screenshot linked above.
ALREADY ATTEMPTED (AND DIDN'T SOLVE):
Rebooting the device (disappointed, I expected this to work)
Accessing the dark mode settings from the notification area
Opening the settings in split-screen with another app
Opening the settings after opening as many apps as possible to fill the RAM
Waiting 5+ minutes in the "More dark mode options" screen
Swiping the line just above "Individual apps" up
Accessing the settings page while mobile data and Wi-Fi are turned off
What are the other possible ways to solve this? Is there a particular system app who is responsible for the app list showing in this setting? Or is there a way to completely turn off Individual apps dark mode while keeping dark mode on?
Thank you in advance for the replies and screw Xiaomi for making no option for this and making this "in-app-enforced-darkmode-wannabe" enabled by default for every app.
Hum..., bump?
Unfortunately all I can add is I'm experiencing the same issue and haven't found a solution. I think it must have been introduced with an MIUI update as I know in the past the dark mode app list has been populated.

Still not working for me. I did find this thread for a different Xiaomi phone with the same MIUI issue. Seems someone has made a Magisk module if you have a rooted phone: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...t-miui-13-redmi-note-10.4404923/post-87160523
However I haven't rooted my phone (in case I had any issues with e.g. banking apps) so haven't tried this myself. I'm just hoping Xiaomi eventually fix it in an update.

That is absolutely crazy, how Xiaomi messed up their own software. It has not been showing the apps for me for long now and it is so annoying to have to switch dark mode off entirely every time an app doesnt display elements correctly, just because Xiaomi forces their weird dark mode adaptation into apps that dont support dark mode natively. I dont get how they thought that feature being on by default for every app was a good idea...
EDIT: Also thank you for the link but I don't want to root my phone either, too many security related concerns.
It is working, the UI just stalls when loading the apps list. when you open the "More dark mode options"
place your finger on the line that says "individual apps" and swipe up. if u did it right it will show the list., just keep swiping up from that line until the list shows
This issue was discussed in the xiaomi forums (c.mi) and this is the only way to access the dark mode page.

I tried this several times and in multiple directions (I can actually swipe the interface up), swiping the line app to the top, but it keeps showing no app; there keeps being a problem on loading the list of apps for some reason
Hello,
I'm curious I can get some help. I have an android box that hooks up to my TV. I have an app I use called "Key Mapper" that allows me to remap my keyboard keys so I can create shortcuts. One of the issues I find with the app is that sometimes I have to exit out of it and reopen it and re-enable accessibility within the App.
In Android Settings I already have accessibility enabled so it should be good, but when I reboot the device it seems to always stop working until I close out of the process and re-open it up.
My theory is that maybe I need to delay the auto boot of the application. It starts up with Android automatically but if I can have it delayed start that may resolve the issue. Is there an app or some way I can adjust the auto boo setting to delay it say 10 seconds after Android loads up?

After your OS finishes booting and loads the full OS stack, a system-wide message called Broadcast Intent will be sent to all apps, notifying them that your device has completed booting (this intent is called BOOT_COMPLETED). Then it's up to the individual app to use that broadcasted intent to pre-load in memory whatever they want (or simply not react at all).
The thing is you want to delay auto boot for that specific application, so there are 2 options for that:
you turn off auto boot in the App itself (if it provides such an option).
you block the app from receiving the intent broadcasted.
The second option is also achieved either by using a task killer to force kill the app (which defeats your point IMO) or it manipulate the app from receiving the intent entirely. Both of these options require root access.
If you have root I suggest The App: SD maid (pro version). Under app control you can modify which system Broadcasts that Keymapper recieves (among them could be boot_completed). See attached screenshot from my device for example.
Hope I helped somehow
Thank you for your response. That was super helpful! The device I am playing around with is a Mekotronics R58x, and it had some sort of modified root that was conflicting with Magisk. I read somewhere on these forums that someone suggested renaming the su file if it exists in /system/xbin/su; which it did. I renamed it and rebooted and after that everything worked wonderfully. Keymapper was still autobooting like previously, but this time all the services loaded right up and I didn't have to restart the app it just worked.
Basically I think the issue was this custom su file that was conflicting with Magisk and causing a headache with the keymapper. I'm glad I stumbled across the fix, but either way your post was also very helpful! Thank you!
