Hello.
Im changed my device from S4 (kitkat) to S7 (marshmallow) and Im really annoyed of many changes what google did, but I had no choice.
My question is following,
how to temporary turn off/disable selected application like messanger/viber etc. I tried in app manager "Force stop" but after some short time app started itself, and I get back receiving messages.
Is there any way to turn off selected apps until I will run them manually ? Are all apps really must work in background ?
Please help me Im so annoyed of that version of android
Most of use use this if we're not rooted

Lenovo A7-40 multiuser/restricted profile - "app is not installed" for every app
Hi everybody,
for mentioned tablet with Android 4.4.2 I installed CWM (which gets always deleted after reboot) and rooted the tablet in order to activate multiuser/multiprofile. This worked out so I could set fw.max_users = 4.
Since the tablet is used by our little daughter I installed Kids Place in order to restrict as much as possible. Unfortunately booting into "safe mode" bypasses kids place completely and provides full access to everything (she found out by accident). So I tried to get rid of this problem by trying to create a restricted profile which did not work since the installation did not finish normally and for all assigned apps I get the information "app is not installed" (while it is shown and can be clicked on).
So I tried to setup a second complete user. But same problem here: Installation did not finish normally (also black screen and running circle forever) and afterwards none of the shown apps can be started from homescreen (while I could start playstore from within settings/apps menu): Message: "app is not installed".
Does anybody have any idea how to get this topic solved? Either by preventing the safe mode being able to be used without kids place or by creating a restricted profile which works as expected?
Many thanks in advance!
Bye
I am running android 6.0.1 official version from samsung for my tab s2 t710 with august security patch. Now th problem is related to the new permission system in android m.for eg i installed an app and now it wants permission to storage or other stuff i press on allow but then it tells me about screen overlay detected ok I guess?!? Open settings allow permission and THEN IT just doesnt allow me to do anything related permission giving.i have to go to the safe mode to do things but then for some stupid reson my homescreen gets messed as all user apps are removed but then when reboot again to normal mode its still the same messed homescreen!!!!!!in other android devices i found that it automatically rearranged all the stuff back to original place but here !?!?!??!!

You won't see your user apps in safe mode because safe mode only loads your system apps, the stuff that is supposed to be there and works like it supposed to, that's why it is called safe mode(it loads only system apps to avoid loading something you added that is causing issues).
When it gives you the overlay error, are you going to system settings>apps to find the option to disable overlay? I don't see it in your screenshots. After disabling overlay you should be able to change the storage permission.
That's the problem here. Basically after i open settings to allow the app for the permission it says screen overlay detected. Then it takes me directly to settings, application manager, and then to app that can draw over other apps. Unfortunately, that's what I can get through because the apps list the on off is blacked out no matter what I do. What do i do then please help very annoying.!!??!
Can somebody help ?
Please help
So I've seen a lot of android problems but not something like this.
Im using Ulefone Power ( Android 6.0, 3GB ram and so on...) Everytime i clear recent apps android kills app completely. Lets make it easier to understand. Im using WhatsApp and when i close the app i can still recieve notifications but when i clear WhatsApp from recent apps android totally kills WhatsApp and i cant recieve notifications anymore unitl i manually open the app.
Another example is i also installed fingerprint gestures where i can tap once at fingerprint sensor and the screen will turn off. Its the same thing when app is in recent apps everything works great even the notification stands in notification area but when i clear recent apps everything stops.
I've never faced this problem before and i cant find solution so if somebody knows how to fix it i would be really thankful :laugh:
Hi !
Please refer to this thread as more users with a similar device may be available
Good luck !
This is not meant to be a detailed tutorial, but rather an overview of the struggle I had to root and modify a Wiko Lenny 3 (with links for convenience), so others can benefit.
About a week ago I purchased a Wiko Lenny 3, a device with minimal RAM specs (1GB) for Marshmallow. This creates problems with app-notifications due to the Phone Assist (/system/vendor/operator/app/ApePhoneAssist) and Protected Apps (/system/app/CustomWhitelist) software that is pre-installed by Wiko to compensate for the low RAM.
First, I freshstarted the phone and put in the basic configuration. I immediately updated the system to OTA version V54.
Then I flashed TWRP 3.0.3-0 with SPFlashtool from this site:
http://www.needrom.com/download/recovery-twrp-wiko-lenny-3/ .
There is also TWRP 3.0.2 available but that DID NOT WORK on my phone:
http://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6isv8b6duCrbjdJbDVlRFpONlk/view
After that I rooted the thing via TWRP with SuperSU.zip, and installed Xposed via TWRP. I debloated the phone by removing most Google trash.
I use Syncthing to sync the contents of my external SD card to other devices. But Syncthing needs write permission on the SD card and Marshmallow mounts the SD card read only, and can only give write permission to the ./Android folder on the SD card. I fixed this with XInternalSD. The other option, Marshmallow SD Fix 2.0, DID NOT WORK.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-disablesignaturecheck-t2789267
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-marshmallow-sd-fix-write-t3403263
So far, so good. However, after a while I noticed that FaceSlim (lightweight FB client) did not send push notifications. FaceSlim works perfectly on my old KitKat phone and also on a Lollipop tablet. So I checked running processes with OSMonitor and it turned out that FaceSlim was not being autostarted at boot. Some other services were not autostarted at boot as well:
AFWall+
Applock
DataStats
EZ Wifi Notification
FDroid
MaterialFBook
WiFi Automatic
Xprivacy
I have K-9 Mail installed as well but that app actually DID send notifications, for a while at least, later on it would not work anymore.
DataStats would not stay on screen if I forced closed it after starting it manually.
AFWall+ would only start if I added the widget on the home screen.
I tried every recommendation, like disabling doze mode for all apps and whitelisting the apps in Wiko's "Phone Assist" app, an overly aggressive resource manager that is shipped on Wiko phones, probably to make up for the low RAM. Nothing would autostart the apps.
So, I decided to flash the phone to its original state, using the official vanilla ROM from Wiko (V54), just to see if rooting screwed up the phone:
http://nl.wikomobile.com/maj.php?telephone=1246
After flashing the phone, I tried to get notifications from FaceSlim, but that still wouldn't work, so i guess the problem was not in my rooting the phone.
I also tried to flash TWRP again but this DID NOT WORK WITH THE DOWNLOADED ROM FROM WIKO (as opposed to the OTA update). TWRP got installed, but the phone would hang at startup at the Lenny logo, not booting to the UI.
Fortunately I had a TWRP backup of the old system and I flashed it, I could again boot into the UI now.
I found that other users experienced similar behaviour:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/a...enachrichtigungen-funktionieren-nicht.781196/ (German)
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...ground-sync-processes-wiko-lenny-3-what-to-do
As said earlier the Wiko has two pre-installed apps that manage autostart behaviour and power management.
1 - The "Phone Assist" software has a "Boot Optimize" screen. This feature does work for some apps, but not at boot level. When I deny autostart for AFwall+, it comes up after a reboot and is killed shortly thereafter. If I disable everything in Boot Optimize, the switch for Applock and Wetteronline returns to enabled after a reboot. Moreover, it cannot prevent Instagram from starting, one power hungry app.
2 - Phone Assist also has a "Power Management > Power saving" mode presumably to restrict network acces for apps in screen-off mode. This could be the same as the 3rd party Doze apps on Google Play that use a local VPN to restrict per-app network acces in standby mode. It is debatable if this saves much power, and there could be a security risk.
3 - Phone Assist also has in "Power Management > Advanced > Gear icon > Whitelist" (free translation, my language is Dutch) a screen to "whitelist background apps". If you whitelist an app here, it is simultaneously enabled in the previous menu ("Power Management > Power saving"), so I suspect this menu is redundant.
After playing around with the various settings in "Phone Assist", NOT A SINGLE APP WOULD START AT BOOT ANYMORE, even if I whitelisted all.
4 - The "Protected Apps" feature, found in the Android Settings, will allow you to whitelist apps for autostart. If you put this app in default mode, it will select some apps to start at boot by itself. If you whitelist apps, they indeed do start at boot. But "Protected Apps" has a limit of four apps that are allowed to autostart. This makes use of the phone for social networking/email very limited. Some Huawei phones have this feature too, and also with a limit of four apps. This is clearly an attempt to make up for the low RAM in this device, preventing users from running too many background apps. "Protected Apps" overrides all "Phone Assist > Boot Optimize" settings, making the latter effectively useless.
5 - On top of that there is the native Marshmallow Doze mode, which requires that you whitelist apps from Doze power management.
As you can see this is a complete mess. To enable/disable an app from autostart or power saving modes you have to visit two to five configuration screens. Tinno is the company that programmed this disaster (http://tinno.com/homepage?lang=en). Actually Wiko phones seem to be rebranded Tinno phones.
"Phone Assist" also has a junk cleaner (powered by Purify) that notified me once in a while asking me to delete SEVERAL GIGABYTES of junk. I had absolutely no desire to try that one ...
You can find so-called fixes on youtube for background apps that don't start, which involves installing QuickShortcutMaker, and enabling Low RAM via One Clean. That does not work on this phone.
There is a way to circumvent these autostart/powersave restrictions without removing the Wiko apps. With Link2SD or LuckyPatcher you can convert a user app to a system app. That way the app will start at boot and will send you notifications as well.
However, I wanted to get rid of this badly programmed mess altogether, and keep my apps running as user apps, so I have removed Phone Assist, its separate uninstaller, One Clean, and Protected Apps.
After deinstalling Phone Assist with SDmaid I manually removed "/system/vendor/operator/app/ApePhoneAssist" and "/data/dalvik-cache/arm/[email protected]@[email protected]@@[email protected]@classes.dex"
In /system/build.prop I edited the line "ro.tinno.whitelist.set=true" to "ro.tinno.whitelist.set=false". I don't know what that line does exactly, but it's just to be on the safe side. I think this setting is overwritten if you reinstall Phone Assist or Protected Apps.
I whitelisted some Social Media and Mail apps in Marshmallow native Doze mode.
After a few reboots some of my autostart apps started to reappear at boot, but not all. Only after I started the missing apps manually from the launcher they would appear after a reboot, and persist.
Later, I made a TWRP backup, and after that I wiped the cache and dalvik/art-cache with TWRP. Evertyhing went well.
Wiping the dalvik-cache can be a risky thing, it once left me with Android trying to optimize nine apps at every boot. I turned out that those were apps that I converted from user app to system app, and back. I removed those apps and reinstalled them and the optimization at boot went away.
So now every app starts at boot as it should, but it would be nice if this "Protected Apps" feature would not have a limit of four apps to boot, because then we would have a nice integrated boot manager. If anyone can find out if it is possible to modify this limit I would be much obliged
EDIT: So, three years later and I still have this phone. I have recently installed update v59 and encountered the same problems. After deleting PhoneAssist and ProtectedApps only a few of my apps worked right, and that was only after multiple reboots. Other apps would still not show notifications. However after I edited /system/build.prop and changed this line to "ro.tinno.low_memory=false" all apps suddenly worked correctly. Maybe this would even work with PhoneAssist and ProtectedApps still installed, but I don't care to find out at this point.
Didn't work for me, but...
Hi,
If someone has the same problem and stumbles on this post...
Setting ro.tinno.whitelist.set=false didn't work for me, probably because I aggressively modified the stock ROM to remove most of the vendor apps (including this PhoneAssist and Bootclean crap).
What actually worked for me was to set ro.tinno.low_memory=false. After that, all apps supposed to start at boot, actually did.
Once I'll finish my tests and use the phone for a couple of weeks, I intend to post a complete guide explaining how to uncrappify this phone (it's wonderful what you can do once you manage to successfully flash TWRP).
Wiko Lenny 3 2 gb RAM and 16 gb ROM
Hi guys, I have a clone of Wiko Lenny 3 commercialized in Tunisia under the name of EVERTEK EVERSTAR PRO 2. The device that I now has 2gb Ram and 16 gb of Internal storage, but the original version of the Wiko Lenny 3 has only 1 gb Ram. I confirm that is exactly the same device same processor same camera and screen. So I was wondering if I can flash my phone with the official Wiko Rom ? Does android indentifie Ram and Internal storage from the Phone ? Pleaaase Help me .. and sorry for my English

Yes, I installed update v59 and "ro.tinno.low_memory=false" works for me too, thanks!
My Blackview BV9900 phone kills all previously running, auto-start processes upon reboot and even when coming out of sleep mode after a few seconds/minutes, including its own accessibility suite app.
1. Widgets and auto-start apps like weather, antivirus, applock, screen lock, system network (from phone setting like LTE/UTMS), system accessibility suite app, etc., do not start automatically with the phone. All apps have to be started manually at each reboot of the phone.
2. Rebooting the phone kills all these and other auto-starting apps and resets them to "killed" even when they are in the whitelist. They are also killed after a few seconds of sleep mode.
The Blackview forums have offered no solution.(s) or workaround.
Software Version: BV9900_EEA_S900AA_V1.0_20200522V12_20200523-0035.
Please, suggest solution that can make me use it like other smartphones. I stopped using the phone after a few days of receiving it as a result of the frustrations experienced.
Hello,
I'am sorry, I don't have solution but the same problem.
I received a BV9900E a few days ago. it's a nice phone.
But... I have the same problem. I would like to put a custom launcher with custom widgets and custom animated wallpaper. But if I shut down my phone, I lost all my settings, the widgets and wallpaper. All must be reinstalled, and/or reconfigured.
I try to use whiteliste, did several tries and try various solutions found on the net but nothing helped ... I lose everything on each restart. Only stock widgets work.
I think I have found the beginning of an explanation here: https://bbs.blackview.hk/viewtopic.php?t=532725
Does anyone have a solution, can help?
I am not an expert for rooting phone and try like on the Blackview topic, but i don't find BV9900E/Android 10 specific stock ROM for now.
Any solution is welcome !
Thank you in advance for your answers.

I contacted the Blackview helpdesk who responded to me that that was how the BV9900 was designed to work, and that there was nothing that they could do; no work-around too.
Ok thank you !
I also asked Blackview helpdesk. No answer yet.
But if there are no solutions or i can't find any solutions, I will finally ask for a refund because I want to be able to do whatever I want with my phone. I bought a phone and not a forced bloqued system. it's not a problem for me!

Same problem here with my BV9900 pro.
1. After reboot, some app is not auto start-up. If Mi phone, they can set Auto Start-Up.
2. App was killed, I already set Battery Not Optimized , and Locked in White List. But some apps no help.
Hello there, have someone updated this rom and rooted it?
I tried many times, downloaded the stock, flashed it, installed magisk/twrp rooted it.
But the BV9900_EEA_S900AA_V1.0_20200522V12_20200523-0035 will not work

Greetings.
No solution from me yet. What I have tried to do is to avoid rebooting the phone after I have completed the settings.
So sad.

Hi
There is a hidden app named DuraSpeed that mess things up . According to blackview it's only in android 9 , but i found it in my android 10. I disabled the app close functions there. Now things seems to behave better. Using the whitelist us not enough.. go to settings and then apps & notifications. Search for dura and open it
Thanks for pointing us towards duraspeed. I will try disabling it and provide feedback.

I have been running it disabled for a week now and my lock screen has a lot of more updates from apps. Messenger also works when phone is not used.
Below 15% battery I still have some issues on some apps (ring doorbell ) even tho I have configured android to override battery saving settings.
To me it seems that Duraspeed is a mistake in the andorid10 version for the phone carried over from the andriod 9 rom. Its supposed to only be on the android9 Rom for blackview.
I wish it was an easy way to just remove these proprietary power saving apps.
I have not tested if apps autostarts after reboot of the phone or if i have to manually start them.

Thanks for the response. Disabling Duraspeed seems to have worked.
I tried this : I fixed one line in the /system/build.prop file:
ro.freeme_freemanager=1
ro.hct_autostart_manager=1
In these lines you need to change 1 to 0
I tried a lot of solution, but nothing worked. This solution work perfectly!
Note: the launcher "Evie" v2.14.8 work well with or without this solution. This the only one application was working before a did this solution!
