marshmallow 6.0.1 on nexus 5 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I finally moved my rooted nexus 5 to marshmallow 6.0.1 with xposed installed and I'm trying to ask a question about marshmallow's screen overlay permissions which is blocking my email agent (Aquamail) from accessing its file backup in storage. The alert tells me to go to settings to permit access to storage but when I go there Aquamail is not listed and I'm confused.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks.

[Q] Anyone else has problems with Autostarts?

Anyone else using Autostarts on their S6? If yes, are you able to use it?
This is the app i'm talking about:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts&hl=en
The app opens fine and the first time you try to disable something Supersu pops up to ask if you want to grant it root access, but after that a white box appears and nothing happens.
Attached a screenshot of that white box.
I've already tried several things but to no avail: flashed a custom kernel so SE is permissive instead of enforcing, deleting the root access and reauthorize it, etc.
It's not lollipop because it works on my Tab S and Note 3 (before) both running Lollipop...
Tried another app as well (forgot the name) and receive a message that root access failed (if i remember correctly). Clean Master and Elixir 2 are doing the job at the moment, but Autostarts is much easier to use for that kind of stuff.
I'm not having root access problems with another apps.

I've not been able to get it to work on 64 bit Lollipop both on my Galaxy S6 and Nexus 9. Wish I knew why!
I will email the developer with the issue.
I the mean time I've started using Myandroidtool which has it also categorised in different events (at boot, connectivity changed, etc.). It's under Receivers Not as good as Autustarts but it's pretty decent.
Anyone get a logcat? Please.
I am adding it to mine via adding the code etc...
So please upload a catlog so I can see and maybe can figure it out.

Secure Settings cannot access Root

i'm not allowed to post directly into Android Development..
I installed Root with the help of jcase .
All seems to work properly (Adaway, Busibox, Total Commander etc. are functional with Root)
but Secure Settings shows at System+ : Root acces was not detected.
Is there a workaround or is that an limitation of this 'Systemless' Root method?
Thanks for reading this
I have the same issue. L Patcher also didn't but when I selected option to force root options it worked fine. Found there was Google Group to opt in for Secure Settings beta which I signed up for but never received an update so assume there's no current beta. Wrote dev email with details, but haven't heard back yet. I suggest you write him too (email in app) so that he can see many are being affected
I found the reason, why some apps doesn't recognize systemless root. Chainfire wrote that some app expected to have direct access to System-Partition and that must fail certainly
For these Apps we have to wait for updates

Can't allow root for apps

Recently I have updated to the newest version of Lineage OS on my Moto G (2015) and Nexus 7 (2013), however ever since I did this, it has made the option to allow apps to access root has disappeared from the menu. You can only allow ADB access or disable it altogether. How would I go about fixing this problem? Any help is useful. Thanks
Is Lineage OS pre-rooted? They may have removed that feature in the recent update which would mean you would have to root it.

It's rooted, they just don't have the option to allow apps to have root access in developer options.

It is pre-rooted, you just have to flash the suaddon corresponding to your device architecture from here. download.lineageos.org/extras
It wasn't pre-rooted for me but I did install the newest version of SuperSU (2.79 SR3). Also how would I go about allowing root for apps if it's not in the developer options and the pop-up asking me to allow it doesn't come up?

Snapchat and Netflix errors

Hey everyone!
So I haven't been able to find much info in the threads about the issue with Netflix or Snapchat errors with custom ROMs yet and so that's why I'm posting here.
Snapchat won't let me log in(I've tried on other phones and prior to rooting the s8+ and they all worked)
And Netflix isn't working on any ROM other than CarHD rom which I'm not a fan of because of the status bar buttons which are a pain in the ass when it comes to bring down the notification drawer.
Does anyone have a flashable fix for either of these problems. I'm currently running the Nemesis V2 rom which is great btw

Search this forum. Your questions have been answered.
Custom Roms normally have root do they not? Your root is being detected by these apps and is therefore blocking access. If you only have SuperSu installed or nothing at all, install Magisk v12.0 instead.
Inside Magisk you can hide your root/custom ROM from Snapchat. They normally block access to rooted phones to stop people using root apps to automatically save images without alerting the person your snappchatting (somewhat defeating the purpose of the app) etc.
For Netflix the hide method won't work. You'll need to use a root browser and delete a system file named liboemcrypto.so. Look up this file name to get its exact location. I can confirm that it worked for me and many others. Let me know if this helps you at all.

Ahh you're a legend!
I had already managed to figure out the Snapchat fix by hiding my root but I was confused why this didn't seem to work for Netflix. Deleting the liboemcrypto.so file worked a charm. Much appreciated!!

Oreo beta and bloatware

Hello all, so I was surprised to see Oreo update, but I did sign in for beta and after some time here it is, problem is I can no more uninstall bloatware (no root) like we were able with Emui 5. Anyone got any hint on how to remove that big amount of s**t in Oreo?

You should be able to disable... Else your only option is rooting or use a launcher that can hide icons.

That's not an option. I mean, I want to uninstall and with previous one I was able to do it via phone manager. There was this list of pre-installed apps but can't find it anymore. So I just want to confirm if it's gone or just hidden somewhere. Thanks anyway

Check Phone Manager - Cleanup - Storage Manager (button/text top right). Here you have pre-installed etc. I can't remember if I saw it though, I went back to EMUI 5 and always use root to remove pre-installed stuff.
Can't see the option you are talking about in emui 8, could you post a screen shot?
