Some apps - Omni Q&A

I have been having a few problems. First, I tried running system tuner but all the options under startup are greyed out so I can't change auto starts. Also, better battery stats will not show anything. I am running omnirom on my i777. Any help is appreciated. These used to work on shostock3 and other Roms and not this

Is it rooted? Maybe your System Tuner app needs root access and the Omnirom I installed on my device wasn't rooted. Lots of other roms are rooted by default.
P.S.: to change autostarts, I use a smaller app, the Disable Services.

Having issues removing system apps in Kitkat?

Since having an xperia arc, I have used system tuner pro/es file explorer/titanium backup in order to remove system apps.
However in CM11, I have been having difficulty removing system apps, I get the messages "could not remove application" or "failed to remove application" etc etc depending what app I was trying to remove things with.
I've just discovered why this happens and how to solve it easily.
This may help others in same situation.
So... from googleing a bit I found this thread:

So from what I've read, Kitkat has introduced some security features... I'll cut and paste the rest.
Remember to go say thanks to the dev!
"There are lots of folks around who already has KitKat on their devices. But kitkat comes with new secutity enhancement, SELinux, put into "enforcing mode". Maybe This thing is good from the point of security, but it breaks some Root Apps, like my Ultimate Dynamic Navbar, so I created this app.
What does it do? This app can change modes of SELinux:
Run app, give root access, select the mode you want SELinux to be in(permissive or enforcing) and that's all. Every time you reboot your device app will execute the script to change SELinux to the mode you've selected. Simple and stupid."

How to enable permissions settings on TW lollipop?

How do I go about enabling permissions settings within touchwiz lollipop ROM main settings? I've scene it within ROMs like devbase by _alexandr and some other stock based lollipop ROMs. Sure it has something to do with features.xml but can't find it in my search's. Any help greatly appreciated.
This can only be done if rooted. There are a few options if so.
1. Download permissions manager on the android market.
2. Get a rom like cyanogen instead that already has it enabled.
3. By far the best option! Installed xposed module and then get xprivacy. Be careful because you need the correct install files to get this running nicely. Xprivacy has security features unrivaled by anything.

Though I've tried a couple of these options, I solved my issue. Thought it was a switch that could be toggled on our off through some settings file within root directory, but it was actually a mod made for _alexanr dev base ROM which modifies a system apk to display permission settings within main settings, originally made by Looki. But thank you for your response. I'm still think about xprivacy, is something I used a long time ago but does look like a strong option for managing permissions.

Mock Locations Settings Bug

I was trying to use Hide my root to hide my root status so I could use "presto" (Steaming service in AUS". Did all the correct steps and it didnt work Presto was still able to see I was rooted , restore the su etc.
But now when I try to go to Mock locations settings in developer options the Gps faking apps I was using for Pokemon GO dont show up anymore.
Tryed reinstalling xposed and the modules but no go
Any ideas ?
Note 4 runing Dr keatons m6 Rom
Figured it out on my own , turns out if installed the newest version it wouldnt show up in the list of apps , If I downloaded the old version then updated to the newer one then it would show up . Weird

Hmm, try to uninstall that and see if the problem persists.
Are you booting your phone in safe mode? Any change you make when you are in safe mode isn't saved.

New MotoModBattery Service For LineageOS 15.1 (root required)

I created a Moto Mod Battery Service App that Implements the Efficiency Mode and Moto Mod battery status. It is also opensource.
This is much more efficient than the Automate way of doing this. Automate had to loop and keep waking up the device.
This service only does stuff if the battery tells it something has changed and if a charger has been plugged in or unplugged.
Release Info:
Moto Mod Battery service for LineageOS 15.1
Version 1.0.1
Fixed charge bug, where charging would not stop after charging over night
Change High Trigger wording
Version 1.0
Features:
Status Notification:
Displays Moto Mod battery capacity in %
Displays Moto Mod battery status
Icon: Shows capacity and short form of status
Efficiency Mode:
The ability to turn on and off efficiency mode
The ability to set when efficiency mode will trigger
The ability to set when to stop charging once the efficiency mode has been trigger
Self Start:
If running and package is reinstalled restart self
If Moto Mod battery has been ran once then on boot start up service

Updated to Version 1.0.1
Thanks a lot. I've been using your APP with LineageOS for a few days and it seems to work pretty good. Great job. :good:
Can i ask you a few questions?
First of all. Why isn't this great APP integrated into the Lineage OS ROM?
Does the APP need root access all the time or just to change the settings? Each time the APP requests root access, an icon (#) is shown in the "status bar". Sometimes this happens about 50 times in a row. The symbol (#) then flickers constantly. Is that normal? Is it perhaps better to install the APP as a system APP?
One thing, but that has nothing to do with your APP. Every time I reboot the Moto Z with the Power Pack installed, the phone thinks the external battery is the internal battery. Do you understand what I mean? No internal battery. Only a reboot without Power Pack fixes the problem. Is it maybe possible to fix this with your APP or more a LineageOS problem?
Sorry for my bad English. I am not a native speaker. Just school englisch.
I for one do not know why a similar app is not built into the stock linage rom.
After a certain version of android apps started requiring root access for certain battery status info. also to make any modifications to the power pack settings require root. I personally turned off the root icon indicator for the reason you mentioned above.
I custom built my ROM and added a toggle switch for the SU root indicator and turned it off. there is a file that can be manually edited that can turn it off also, but I forget what file that is.
This works only in lineage os? Or works in any other rom?
If other ROMs have support to the moto mods and have the same directory paths as linage for accessing there settings then it should work.
It should also work with newer versions of linage. unknown about older versions.

I forgot to mention i use LineageOS 16.
Thank you for your reply. I don't know if I want to deactivate the icon. I like to see if an App uses root but I think about it.
Yesterday I made a test and put your App in the system/app/ directory. In this case it turns into a System App. Right? I thought System Apps don't need root access because they are System Apps and system Apps have root anyway. I was wrong. My knowledge is to little .
But I have discovered some strange behavior. After changing your App into a System-App I could choose the "efficiency mode" in the original MotoMod App and I think there was more. I didn't tested it and now I'm a little bit annoyed about me, because the only thing i wanted yesterday was no root Icon and that didn't worked out. The rest I didn't care .
As a System App I had then problems to remove it. After deleting the directory in the system/app/ folder the Moto Z didn't recognized the PowerPack any more. I had to make a factory reset. My fault :crying:.
Is there a way to install it as a System App without the App asking for root? I want to integrate it in the LineageOS System.
Sorry for my ignorance/inexperience.
A system app can access certain information without root, but the app has to read and write to the /sys/kernel/debug sub system, the battery section does not need root but the moto mod section does, because the developers for the moto mod driver set the permission as such to require it. I made the app so that it would not need a custom linage build of the ROM with the permissions fixed.
I did make the program open source so you or anyone could modify it to not require root. I might have time to do it my self if it is possible as a system app to do.
Not sure if it's just me but the moto mod battery is charging phone no matter what setting... It's weird since even I turned off charge phone option in the original moto mod app in the lingeaos. It's still charging the phone ... It could be the system issue. I don't know. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Works really well for Moto Z Los 16. Thanks for the app.
No working
Not working efficiency mode in moto z2 force with lineageos 17.1 any solution?
I have been using this service installed on
lineage-15.1-20200211-UNOFFICIAL-albus.zip
lineage-17.1-20210224-UNOFFICIAL-albus.zip
with Magisk. The service runs fine on my on both ROMs.
However, since I used Magisk to give root access to the service, I now get a pop-up "Modo Mod Battery was granted Superused rights" every 60 second (I counted the interval) on the screen which is a bit annoying. I guess the service is called every 60 sec or so, and thus the root access is given every time?
Since the pop-up is from Magisk granting the Battery Mod Service the root access, I have just turned of all the notifications from the Magisk App, which works fine but maybe not the optimal way.
Any take on this?
