[Q] Lollipop - Accessibility Services (Greenify) cannot enable

Hi everyone,
I decided to reflash stock and i'm running into some problems with enabling accessibility services for greenify and pushbullet. Somehow I managed to turn these on, I have then turned pushbullet off with no issues. Trying to re-enable this I get the "Use Pushbullet?" prompt with the cancel and OK buttons. I am unable to click OK... only cancel works.
Does anyone else have this problem? I've reflashed about 3 times now... md5 of image is OK so I just wanted to see if you all can enable and disable accessibility services without any issues.
Thanks

I have this exact same problem with every single app in Accessibility... I threw on Lollipop and have yet to be able to click OK. It doesn't even register as a button. Hopefully someone sees this and has a clue as to what is going on.

I wonder if this is a bug... :S

I doubt it, or at least if it is it's a very small one since I have yet to see anything else about it. You're the first person I've encountered with the same issue, funny how you mention both Greenify and Pushbullet (I have both and I didn't notice the issue until after I tried enabling Greenify)

I can confirm it doesn't work for the Google builtin services either on my phone: Talkback / Switch Access

I've been struggling with this exact issue on both my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 wifi. Flash to stock, setup my account, start the restore process, apps start installing, I wait until either LastPass or AutoVoice are installed and then I can immediately go in and enable accessibility for it. Anything after than and it can't click on the OK button. My theory is that you get one shot at setting whatever applications. It's definitely a bug that not app or hardware specific.

I found the answer for my specific case. It was Lux that was preventing me from enabling accessibility or installing from unknown sources. Sooo many factory resets and reflashing stock/rooting and it was Lux the whole time. Arggg...

I'm going to uninstall LUX and see what happens.

You can just disable it in order to have accessibility settings working again.

Holy guacamole! It was LUX... I simply uninstalled LUX and I was then able to click OK on Accessibility settings. I'll be sending an email to LUX devs in a few minutes.
Although apparently I could just have disabled it... LOL. Either way the devs have been informed

Wow... Thanks for this! it works now.. damn i wiped my phone 3 times :S. Ah well at least battery life is now rocking!

Thanks for finding the root cause! Seems like we're a bunch of people using the same apps.

GOOD GRIEF! This was so annoying. THANK YOU! This was driving me crazy. I am writing this on Jan 7 2015, I dont think the author knows this is an issue. I will write to him/her. Thanks again. On a Nexus 6 5.0.1

Same problem with app called Twilight. Pausing the app allows OK button to register.

Same thing for "good sleep pro". Highly unexpected. Big thanks!

For me it was "Bluelight Filter". Thanks for setting me in the right direction.

Not a Nexus 5 user but...
I still use a Sprint Galaxy Nexus (toroplus) but, it was Lux for me too. The two reasons I didn't think it could have been Lux are, first, after this same issue came to light with the install button on sideloaded apps, they made Lux auto pause on screens where their overlay could cause issues. Second, it's daytime where I am right now. The screen dimming overlay shouldn't be active during the day. Either way, I think I'll need to poke the Lux devs to inform them that their experimental work around still isn't working in the accessibility menu.
Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'll just have to remember to disable Lux when I need to perform protected actions.

Thank you! HTC One M8 user, and killing Lux helped!

THX to all of you. Once again Lux was the root cause.

[Q] Lagging Issue

So I'm just on the basic stock rom rooted on the sprint version. I've noticed every 30 sec when im doing something on it, it will freeze and then respond 3 seconds later, as well as songs on blue tooth lag as well. Any suggestions. Oh and my ok google available everywhere is greyed out and im on English and i believe svoice is enabled. My favorites wont display on the edge bar either when i add them and press done.

Have you installed xposed framework & wanam?

xposed yes

I had the same problem, as after i installed xposed S Health stopped working.
This suggestion that's posted on forums everywhere should fix the problem:
Uninstall Xposed framework
Open build.prop in with ES File Explorer or something similar
Find: ro.securestorage.support=true & change to false
Reinstall xposed framework
If S Health isnt working clear app data for S-Health and HealthService
Restart your phone
Source: https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sour..._th=1&ie=UTF-8#q=xposed+framework+lag&spell=1

I am having real lag issues sending and receiving text messages, some will send but will hang in sending for up to 10 minutes or so, others will simply say failed after a while... I don't have Xposed installed, but I've done the build prop edit just in case it would help... still having the lag in my messages.... anyone with an idea please offer your assistance. Most of my communication would be via text, it almost defeats the purpose of my phone not being able to send or know if I'm receiving a text...
Sad face
Edit:
Just did another reboot after my build prop edit and it appears that did the trick, however I'll wait another day to conform.

Mine also randomly freezes while browsing. I believe it's ram related as its almost maxed out straight out the box (thanks Samsung!). And what do u mean by Google now being greyed out? Like won't record when you talk? I also have that issue if that's what you mean. It's bluetooth related for me, as soon as I disconnect my Gear S it works fine.

Is your device rooted? Try installing Seeder from the android store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lcis.seeder&hl=en_GB
It costs a couple of dollars but your should definitely see a massive improvement in performance
In terms of high ram usage, this can actually be a good thing as android manages the ram differently. By having applications loaded into the ram allows for instant access & increased performance. Have a read of the following URL or search for some articles on google about this topic, makes interesting reading.

Disable security like PIN and Pattern?

My niece has a phone but she keeps forgetting the PIN or combination. What would be the options or instructions to disable those features and leave the Swipe option only?

"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"

I mean disable those features so she can't choose it again in the future that Swipe is the only screen lock option to choose.

sorry , not that i'm aware of. hopefully someone else will chyme in
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"

There are several ways to do, I don't know which one you prefer, the easierst would be to download the 'SMS bypass' (Cerberus or any other similar app can also do it but for just one feature SMS bypass is all what we want) which needs to be running in the background, that allows sending an reset sms from another phone e.g. '1234 reset'. After that your phone will be restarted and the pass will be reset to 1234.
But I not recommend to entirely disabled it generally because this would be an open door for other attacks.

I wouldnt mind. Its just a tablet full of games and ebooks. If theres a way to remove those features.

If she keeps turning it back on she may be just messing with you on purpose. -_- may be you should talk to her about that.

Not aware of any way to achieve that. Maybe you should choose "face recognition" as access module? She won't forget that credential

Unidentified side bar on nexus 5

Hello xda,
I need some help. I have nexus 5. It's rooted. And I use xposed modules. I have been a facing this problem since today. Whenever I swupe from left a black rectangular box appears on the side of the phone.. And I tap on it several times, swipe, long press ( I don't know what works) to get rid of it.. Need help figuring out what it is and how to disable it. Images of the same have been attached
Following is the list of modules that I use
Gravitybox
Snapprefs
Clean lockscreen
Zoom for Instagram
I have but not activated
Xmulti window
Boot manager
And had uninstalled xsuite today or yesterday don't remember
Thankyou in advance

At first, reboot into safe mode to check if this side bar is caused by a user or system app.
Then try again without Gravitybox. There's a black border like that when changing the position of LMT Launcher. Do you have it?
Another solution would be to record a log when you tap on it.

Did not understand your reboot into safe mode solution. Can you explain what exactly to do and how to fibd out if it is a system app or user app. I do not have any launcher. How do I record a log?

Question Acessibility problem

Hello,
I'm writing about a problem with accessibility settings.
For example, I use applications such as Button Mapper and App volume control, which require accessibility ON.
In the application, I have set no restriction on the battery, and also autostart and in recent apps I have these apps locked. But if I kill all applications from recent - then the mentioned apps also stop working. I have to turn them on again and also enable accessibility again. I have been using these applications for a long time on different phones and there is no problem like this.
(I don't want to see these applications running in recent apps)
I use the latest xiaomi.eu ROM, but I had the same problem with the Global version.
Thanks for any help.

You can "lock" an app to prevent it from being killed.
Launch the app with the accessibility settings you want, display the apps currently running but instead of killing all apps click and hold on the one you want to keep. You should see a "lock" option here.
Hope that helps

Thanks for your reply, but I already have this apps locked in recent apps but not working.

Hmmm, that's weird, I have the same kind of issue using Macrodroid to automate some tasks, and they even advise in-app to follow that method to keep the required accessibility settings (method that isn't required on non-Xiaomi devices) and it does work.
What exactly is the issue, the apps still get killed even locked or do they just lose their settings?
Someone with better knowledge of MIUI might give a better answer ^^

I had the same problems and fixed them by disabling energy saving management and activated autostart.
