I made a boo boo and clicked on Android System (instead of press and hold) which enabled the guard instead of taking me to a full list for me to finetune. Now I'm unable to get back into Settings, any attempt to do so just brings up a black screen. Trying to create a shortcut to Privacy guard also fails when selecting one from Settings - black screen again.
I've still got access to Root Explorer, is there any way to clear the Privacy Guard settings that may be stored somewhere?
I think the only way to undo this is to factory reset.
I took a risk and did a soft reboot and Settings worked again, quickly disabled privacy guard and all is ok now

Hi,
I have updated to the offical rom 6.1. I have reinstalled all my data and programas and I have applied the performance tweaks, including disabling the large start menu.
However, I have realised that when I put the device to sleep, and wake it up again, there it is, the large start menu is back. If I look in configuration, I see that the checkbox is not checked. I can check it, uncheck it again, reboot, and the large start menu is gone... until the device is put to sleep and waken up again.
¿Any idea in how to disable it in a permanent way?
At the begining I thought that I had provoked this failuere by installing "QuickMenu" without having uninstalled "large start menu". I have unistalled "QuickMenu", but I go on having the same problem.
Any idea would be appreciated, I am kind of desperate.
Thankyou very much.
Well, I have finally been able to do it. Apart from disabling "Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Large Start Menu", I have found another option in the programs menu "Large Title Bar". Now, by also disabling it, the large start menu is gone.
What puzzles me is why by only using the first option, the large start menu was gone until the device was locked and put to sleep, and when it was waken up and unlocked, the menu was back.
At least now it is gone, but this doesn't make me feel I have a very realiable device. It seems, I won't have to hard reset in order to try to get it fixed. It is a real pain install everything again.
Lollipop's Tap & Go feature is amazing while setting up a new device, particularly if you've got two-factor authentication enabled on your Google account. However, it only seems to be accessible from the first-boot welcome screen setup sequence. If you skip the setup and start using the phone blank, how do you manually start Tap & Go? Or how do you go back to the welcome screen, without doing another factory data reset, of course?
As some of you may know, the new OC4 build came out for the Verizon Galaxy S5 recently, with no reported changes. Today while browsing through the settings I noticed screen pinning was available! To enable it...
1. Go to settings, security, and scroll to advanced at the bottom.
2. Select "Pin Windows" and enable it.
Now in the recent apps view on the bottom right of each application you will see an icon to pin the screen. You can, when pinning with a secure lock screen, choose to require your password to unlock. To unpin just hold down on the recents button.
I have the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 and I downloaded the Clean Master and then there was an app called CM AppLock which is some kind of security. I was having problems & so I uninstalled the CM AppLock or so I thought I did but I am now not able to get into anything but 1 out of 4 app pages, my wifi has turned off, I am on airplane mode and can't change it because I cannot get to my 2nd page of app where my Tools icon is and I can't draw the pattern on the CM AppLock (which I uninstalled) because the pattern I picked is not working. I can't do the "forgot Password" at the top of the app because it requires wifi. My phone keeps talking to me at every time I touch it with dates and times and all kinds of numbers...can't get anything to work. Please help me!
1-You can turn off airplane mode by holding power button and select "disable airplane mode" in the upcomming screen. Also you can go to settings when you pull down the status bar twice, there will on the top settings icon appear.
2-Have you rebooted the phone?
3-install CM applock app again, then disable all locks and the uninstall the app.

Thank you for your reply. I will try your suggestions.
When I first started using the always on display it gave me the option to long press the home button to go past the lock screen directly to my home screen. How do I undo that setting?
Nevermind. I didn't realize that it showed up in the list of apps so I just cleared the data.
