save permissions before factory reset - General Questions and Answers

In Android 9, and Galaxy S9 in particular (no root available), is there any way (special app, or adb command) to save lists of permissions like "Allow background data usage", "Allow background activity", "Notifications" (with "Sound", "Silent", "Silent and minimized" details)? Meaning, those permissions that are only accessible via "App info". I want to capture those settings before I do a factory reset, but it would be very labor-intensive to go into "App info" for each installed app.

App permissions troubles

Hi, I've got a Honor 6, version H60-L04, recently updated to Marshmallow, EMUI 4.0, not rooted.
At the end of the installation I noticed a problem with the apps that need permissions to access to the gallery, or the microphone, etc.
I gave'em those permissions, in the Authorizations menu in the app options but it appears an error: "Display overlay detected. To modify this setting, you need to disable the display overlay in Settings>App. Selecting "Open settings" then, I've been redirected to a menu which doesn't show neither an Overlay setting choice, nor others applications' setting choice (e.g Whatsapp, Shazam).
In the settings, there is only one overlay setting, in the section "Developer Settings": "Disable Overlay HW", but having it set or not doesn't solve my problem.
What can i do? At the moment I can't neither send nor receive pictures, audio, etc. in Whatsapp and Telegram, I can't shazam the music with the app and so on...

[Completed] Turn off screen overlay all at once

Hi,
Very often when I want to install an application I have this message "screen overlay detected, please disable" that appears and keeps me from continuing. I am forced to go into the settings, to disable one by one this authorization for each application. Then I go back on the new application to complete the installation. Then I return to the screen overlay management to accept it again for each application. It takes ages :crying:
Is there not a way to disable all at once and then reactivate all at once ?
Thank you
Hi and welcome to assist,
Try this steps:
Go to Settings > Apps > 'Advanced' (near the bottom) - under 'Advanced' subsection, access 'Draw over other apps'. Here, individually change the settings of ALL the apps to 'No' (in other words, disable 'Permit drawing over other apps' for every app). Once done, you can freely change apps' permissions in Settings > Apps > [name of app] > 'Permissions' without the annoying 'Screen overlay detected...' warning popping-up every time. Once you have correctly changed the permissions (for every app that's not working properly), you should return to individually change each of the apps' settings to 'Yes' in the 'Draw over other apps' section (in other words, re-enable 'Permit drawing over other apps' for every app).
Good luck,
Razvan

ColorOS 5.0: Is there a way to remove the Notification Bar yellow warning?

When I perform any of the following operations, the Notification Bar flashes with yellow warning!!
Does there exists a method or trick to bypass this.
In Settings -> Additional Settings -> Developer Options -> Select USB Configuration, and select any one configuration
If you have installed any of the applications Microsoft Authenticator, Avast Mobile Security, Button Mapper, Tasker,
Goto Settings -> Additional Settings -> Device & Privacy -> DEVICE ADMINISTRATION -> Device Manager, and activate the application as a Device Manager.
If you have installed any of the applications Action Launcher, Avast Cleanup, Avast Mobile Security, Button Mapper, Tasker
Goto Settings -> Additional Settings -> Accessibility-> Downloaded Services, and activate the application.
Notification Bar flashes with yellow warning!! What the heck Oppo ??!!
There is a line between Security and Usability! We are no longer living in the brick phone era. There are smartphones, and there exist people that are actually smart!
NOTE: There is word that if ColorOS is rooted, the Notification bar will display a Red warning with text Rooting has been detected(hxxp://google.com/search?q=color+os+%2B+rooting+has+been+detected). This was for ColorOS 3.0. And there seems to an Xposed module to thwart it for that version of ColorOS.
So does there exist a way to resolve or bypass this?

push notifications

Hey guys i have problems with notifications with all apps. Sometimes i receive notifications and sometimes not.
No one has this problem?
You have to take a number of measures in order to get notifications to work reliable:
1. Go to phone manager and set application in start apps on manual - and activate all switches
2. Type in "battery optimization" in settings and switch it off for the app
3. Open the app and then go to "recent apps" swipe the app down so a little lock appears above the app
4. Go to settings, then apps, then choose the app. Give all permissions and notifications
5. (Most important): go to settings - battery - further settings. Activate "always stay connected"
Notifications should work fine now. If not, uninstall the app, reinstall it and do steps 1 to 4 again.
BTW some expression I used may not be correct as I have set my phone language to German.

Disable permissions on android device

In our smart phone some default application is installed and I can not change the permission so any solution to denied permission without our device move on root
You may go to settings > apps and notifications > show all apps (you might also need to display "system processes" using the 3 dot menu on the top right hand corner depending on the app)
There, you should be able to either disable or uninstall the app, or change its permissions
