Using: EnSec Enhanced Security + Operative w TWRP. WP8 Launcher
I checked the "Always show statusbar" option in Swipe Status Bar. It works, shows the status bar constantly, BUT... Now I can't launch any applications except for the ones that are linked in the main launcher screen. When I swipe right to the drawer, tapping any app has no effect. It seems like it's blocking applications from either detecting screen taps or opening at all.
Even in the few I can launch, like Settings, it doesn't detect when I tap any of the menu options. I can scroll up and down, and pull down the status bar, but I cant make the SSB control panel open again to disable the option.
I tried booting into safe mode, but it still launches SSB so the problem persists. I tried changing to Smart Launcher, same problem.
Is there any way to prevent Swipe Status Bar from starting up?

Same problem here, except I stayed in the SSB settings long enough to discover that unchecking that check box again is one of the things that having it checked prevents you from doing. Long story short, I think this has probably made the decision for me whether or not to switch from EnSec+Operative to Loki's new ROM...because I am not sure there's any way out of this without flashing.
I had the same issue,
Only thing I could do was open up play store and uninstall.
It took forever to figure it out and took many tries till it finally registered my clicking.
If all else fails, you may need to wipe the watch via recovery and start over.
I have since stopped using the app as I never want to go through that nightmare again.

Should have checked the app's page when I saw that feature though:

...Granted, it doesn't mention anything else not working, but that would probably have been enough to keep me from experimenting, even though it still wouldn't have led me to think that checking the box would make it impossible to uncheck the box...

Found another way!
...For those who are remotely comfortable with adb, anyhow.
adb shell 'pm clear cz.chladek.swipe_status_bar'
This is essentially a force-stop and clear app data on Swipe Status Bar. Only works if you already had usb debugging enabled or find a way to enable it, of course.
Thanks for the tip Kilroo, but it was too late for me. I went TWRP and wiped it. Yeah, it cost me a lot of customizations gone, but at least I didnt hand anything there that wasn't backed to the cloud.
One silver lining: Now I get to rebuild the launcher, icons, widgets etc in a bit more usable form. AND I'm staying away from that SWB setting until is out of beta! Thanks for the help, all!

I was afraid of that. Well, maybe if anyone else makes the same mistake it will help them.
I'm still trying to figure out whether I want to go from EnSec+Operative to the new Unified Rom doohickey or not, since I no longer have to redo everything regardless.

I've been using nova launcher for months and finally uninstalled the stock S launcher. Today, I went to put my phone into ultra power saving mode and now I cannot exit it. If I get a notification, I can switch to that app and get into system settings, but I cannot exit ultra power saving mode. Without a notification, I can't even turn the screen off. The home button does nothing (no launcher) and the UPSM toggle is missing from the notification window.
So, my question is- does anyone have the stock APK for the Samsung launcher -OR- know an ADB command or some other way to get out of UPSM?
You didn't say whether you looked at the full quick settings palette or just the selected tiles subset? You should find the power saving tile on the full palette. Also does the phone exit UPSM when you fully charge the phone battery?
If that doesn't work, then just download the firmware for your phone and you can extract the stock launcher with winrar.

There are no settings tiles. After I get a notification, I can pull down the notification screen (not before) and hit the gear to get the settings page. In there, there's only wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode, mobile networks, location, sound, and brightness. There's no way to get rid of UPSM.
Fully charging it didn't work. Fully discharging it didn't work. Wiping cache and dalvik didn't work.
Can you provide a link to the file in question? I'm not entirely clear on your terminology. I thought the firmware was just for the radio and such while the rom had the program files?

Have you rebooted? Usually does it for me.
I tried taking the battery out, restoring my SYSTEM backup from a few months ago, upgrading to a newer version of the stock rom, and nothing works.
Everything I've tried ends up with the phone going back into UPSM with no way to leave it.

If you are using TWRP there is a file manager under advanced. Use that to navigate to the /system/app directory and rename "Emergency" apk to have .back appended to the end after the .apk. This will "hide" it from the system and should disable it. Btw the name of the apk has Emergency in it i don't recall the exact name of it though.

No we can't. And the reason that we can't is that you didn't provide any details about your phone. The firmware is different for every model of S5 and carrier. We don't know if you have a 900T, 900F, 900A or some other S5 version. We can't see your phone and can do little unless you provide extensive details.
Simply go to a firmware site like sammobile, click on firmware and enter the model number of your phone. Or do a search of this forum. Then use the Odin program to write that firmware (factory software) to your phone.

I'm having the same issue on a Verizon S5. Under /system in twrp I don't see anything. Tried chmod but didn't help. Any suggestions?
Apps Drawer
Same thing happened to me. Mine was stuck in between normal and Ultra. I was able to go to my apps drawer, clicked on the gear/settings, found Power then disabled Ultra Power Saving mode there.
I had same issue and I SOLVED it.
No disable option in the notification drawer. Gear 'setting' option (in the notification drawer) only display few setting options (no disable ultra saving mode).
I solve the issue by holding down the HOME button to trigger Google NOW app. In the search bar of Google NOW app, I clicked the microphone button and said "OPEN SETTINGS". This will open the full version of setting window. If you scroll down, you will see the 'POWER SAVING MODE', click it and you will see the disable "ULTRA POWER SAVING MODE" option.
It's a unusual way but it worked.
I also faced the same issue while running Action Launcher 3. Google Now wasn't working for me, so the way I solved it is:
- press and hold the menu button (capacitive button on the left) and select "Manage Apps"
- from the three dots on the top right corner select "Reset app preferences"
- reboot
- pressing the home button showed up "TouchWiz Home", which then allowed me to select "Disable Ultra Power Savings mode"
-done
HTH
I have they same problem with S5 LTE+ on Android 4.4.4. (I hate this ****ing bad Samsung Software!!!!) The above two posts unfortunatly don't work for me because Google Now is not working and Home Button does nothing.
I will try to launch settings due adb if I find a PC to do this (Unfortunatly I'm on holiday at the moment)
Were you able to figure this out? Facing the same issue on my friends phone. Can't believe Samsung would takeover the phone like this.

Best I remember, it had something to do with disabling the stock launcher and I ended up reflashing.
thug_life_inc brought me to my personal solution. I had the problem with the Google Now Launcher. And there is the possibility to go to the app info by placing an app on the home screen, but not dropping it there, but above it (you know the area where you can access app info / delete the app).
That brought me to the settings page for the google app where i could delete the standard launching options.
I had very low battery (maybe 3 or 2%) and then i activated the ultra power saving mode. After a while, the phone battery died, so I recharged it. The problem now is that I got stucked in UPSM. Everything is black and white, I have no acces at any of my apps and the settings is incomplete, I mean I don`t find the "disable UPSM" function. I also cannot factory reset the phone, same reason, I only have acces to wi-fi, bluetooth, volume, brightness and location.
Thank you!!!!

The easy fix - just open the app drawer, drag the google app to app info and drop, clear defaults , when prompted choose you service providers origional default launcher

I recently switch to a 4.4.4 ROM which doesn't have the side bar tab to bring up the window bar. I always used to set my long back press to kill app and did so again without thinking. Now I can't get MW to open, I've tried resetting to default and still nothing. Is there a way to fix this?

I figured it out, it was Gravity Box, apparently I can't change any buttons or it overrides the long back press to open MW. However in trying to solve one problem I think I created another. At the time I didn't realize GB was causing the problem and I wanted to have my settings to go back to default, my ROM dev recommended a dirty flash. My MW issue has been resolved but now Xposed seems like it doesn't have full root access. Root works for everything else, and a lot of Xposed features are working, but certain things (write to SD, GB's Smart Radio, GB's Status Bar icon color change to name a few) won't work/changes don't stick. The GB options are greyed out even after clicking On. I've tried uninstalling SuperSU updated and reinstalling, and fully uninstalling/reinstalling Xposed but nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions?

Hey all,
Just got my new OnePlusX and the first time I turned it on it prompted all the set up screens. I had to skip through them all because the keyboard would not stay open. It would open and then immediately minimize. Not a great start but no problem, I'll add my accounts and connect to wifi later.
Once I get into the 'home screen' I could see my status bar at the top but no icons and no way to access the app draw. I pressed the capacitive buttons and opened the notification slider which both worked and eventually got into the play store. From here I installed an app or two and got prompted to do a system update, which I did.
After the update I was hoping my launcher would work.. it didn't. The home screen is a black screen with the status bar at the top and no icons - the home button seems to do nothing when I'm in an app and press it.
I installed a third party launcher which worked - I now have a home screen and app draw. However, after opening an app, it crashes after a second or two (chompSMS does this as well as messenger, phone and contacts which are stock apps).
Does anyone have any information about this, what can I do here?
I know one option might be flashing a custom rom but being a brand new phone that should most definitely not be something I have to do to be able to call and message people..
Update: I ran a factory reset and all problems seemed to be resolved now. Not sure what was going on but I guess something happened that a reboot couldn't fix. I'll leave this post in case it helps others.
Have you done a factory reset after the system update??

Xiaomi has made some very strange choices regarding the lock screen:
1) By default anyone has access to the camera from the lock screen. You have to turn that off in Settings (Lock screen & password > Lock screen shortcuts - disable "Right").
2) There's a strange four-leaf clover symbol in a disk at the top right that gives access to the Wallpaper Carousel. Press the symbol and you get a "Terms and Conditions" dialog. It gives access to buttons at the bottom and swipe left to access Wallpaper Carousel. So anyone who borrows your phone can do things with it. I don't know how to prevent this. I've found no setting to get rid of the clover disk.
3) The status bar is active on the Lock screen with no apparent way to disable it. That gives access to all your toggle buttons, so your connection, your wi-fi and you bluetooth can be turned on or off by anyone. The brightness can be changed, notifications read. The only way I can see to stop access to the toggle buttons is to separate the Notifications & toggles layout (under: Notifications & status bar), which means that you don't have access to them when you've unlocked the phone. Anyone know how to take the status bar off the Lock screen?
This is all very bizzare.
About access status bar on the lockscreen, you can disable it in the settings->Notification&Status bar->last one:"Show on lockscreen"

I saw the setting, changed it, looked at the result and didn't see any difference, so I went back, saw it was headed "Notification Shade", and I didn't understand it so I thought it must have been something else. But I never tested the notification bar. It actually does the job, so thank you! (And I kick myself.)
I just have to find a solution for the first problem now.

All I need to know now is how to get rid of the Wallpaper Carousel and the four-leaf clover button from the lock screen and I'll be happy.
So I successfully disabled Wallpaper Carousel by using an app called Ice Box which requires root access. Is your device rooted ?

Thanks for the post. I haven't rooted the phone as yet: I still need to get the bootloader unlocked for the TWRP route.
I just uninstalled the Wallpaper Carousel, which also had the desired effect of closing up a gap in the lockscreen.
A ok ! Glad you were able to uninstall it Miui comes with a lot of bloatware preinstalled so you have to tinker around a little bit. I'm eagerly waiting for a stable aosp custom rom for this device to switch to it as I can't stand Miui

You can disable the stock lock screen by going to Setting > Screen lock & fingerprint > Turn off lock. . . .
If you don't have an app wallpaper carousel that's dedicated to the lock screen, you might look at this post on the MIUI forum.

Go to google play store, search for "Mi Wallpaper Carousel" and just uninstall it
all of you on chinese variants of Find X, can now upgrade to new colorOS 5.2 simply by installing Beta App below , follow on screen steps and after that: go to normal upgrade method from Settins. You will have new OTA ready to download
Not applicable for Global and European variants CPH1871 / 75 .
LINK
After that you'll get a developer mode WITHOUT that annoying red banner in top notifications. You'll get notifications (lockscreen, notification shade), but NO Icons in Top. Fastboot unlock is still not possible. There is a higher Battery drain.
Btw: looks like, you CAN'T downgrade to official firmware yourself. So please TAKE CARE.

"You'll get notifications (lockscreen, notification shade)"
Wish I got that
Is it correct that this information can not be returned to the official firmware?
After messing around for some time. I get notifications from most app when the screen is on.
But when the lock screen(blank black) starts, I get no notifications what so ever. Just sounds.
Anyway to fix this?
What's new in colorOS 5.2?
I get no notification issues and I use this china variant on color os5.1, for notifications ( FOR ALL apps, allow ALL PERMISSIONS, go to power management app and disable ALL power saving features for said apps as well as allowing all permissions from "power management" and this works for me even with screen off i get my notifications with the edge notification light
Most of my apps are now working as should(smartthings won't give notifications).
I went on to the beta and then I reset everything, and all has been great.

Yes it is. I've tried to make downgrade and doesn't work. The recovery says that the version that I've installed is newer than the latest official and abort the flash process. Fortunately the beta works pretty good but keep it in mind.
As supposed...latest ColorOS 5.2 arrived, and sadly nothing interesting

Rolled the dice and found out that:
- It does not remove the need for locking or increase the 5 app limit
- It also does not allow more than 5 apps to auto startup
Interesting development though: after doing the beta firmware update, I can no longer get into Phone Manager (and thus cannot easily get into auto startup apps)
After tapping on "Phone Manager", I get a screen overlay message that says "Permission Denied".
Can confirm that it does remove the dev orange bar. It will not remove the orange bar that is present from using Accessibility Settings.
EDIT: Updates as I poke around below
------
- After update: Shut down and Start up now retain my accessibility settings (previously even answering the phone would reset them). I use accessibility to add navigation options to the side of the device.
- I deleted com.coloros.safecenter, and now I have no "Auto Startup" options in individual app info. I'm unsure if this is just a new development in the beta or not though. I also still cannot get into the app Phone Manager (where auto startup is usually collected)
- I now also have some sort of flyout thing on the right side containing "Quick Access" apps. I never had this before. This is controlled from: Settings > Smart & Convenient > Smart Sidebar
- A new app inside of Accessibility permissions showed up called "Baidu IME for OPPO", but I'm pretty sure this was stock and I had just removed it right when I got the phone
- I'm also able to swipe notifications to the right to dismiss!

Still have it unfortunately And yes, I'm using accessibility. Beta DOES get rid of the yellow bar if you only have Developer Mode enabled.
I've gone through one entire reinstall because I removed some pretty necessary stuff without pulling the APK's first. Now I'm an expert at backups of both individual APK's and the entire system through ADB hahaha.
I'm working on a guide to "westernize" or "un-colorOS"ing this phone and will be aggressively deleting apks to try and get rid of the yellow bar.
I did find that they have
Code:
com.android.systemui.PLUGINS
and that gets spawned from a ColorOS apk but I can't seem to remove the plugin. I have a hunch that's where it lives, since the orange bar groups everything under the "System UI" grouping.
Will keep you all updated!
EDIT: Oh! I was also able to create a +1 phone number account through oppo id services and use that to restore back to stock Beta after I screwed up the phone without backing anything up this first time. So I wouldn't be too scared of doing this upgrade. You can at least restore back to beta.
