Is there a quick way to show all the apps installed on my Android device which have the "Automatically start at boot" permission?
I know there are a few "startup manager" apps that allow to modify startup behaviour, but most of them require root access and moreover they also require auto start at boot permission to work.
I'd just like a way to figure out which of my apps have that permission so I can decide which is worth keeping and which to uninstall.
Thanks,
Marco

Use the app "Permission Explorer" to list all apps granted that permission.

Thanks! This is right what I was looking for. Sorry for having you make the search effort, I should have googled a bit more.
Hello All,
I have a Nexus 9 running Lollipop 5.0 (LRX21R). I have rooted it using both NRT v1.9.9 and the Unified Android Toolkit v1.3.3 and installed TWRP, but left the stock ROM on it (I just like deleting the stuff I don't use). It roots just fine and SuperSU installs just fine. I am able to use apps that require root (AdFree, Titanium Backup, ES File Explorer, etc.) fine for the first few days and then all of a sudden the "Grant" button in the dialog box that pops up when an app request root access from SuperSU won't let me press it. I can press "Deny" just fine, but the "Grant" button will not respond to my finger or a stylus. Strange thing is, apps that I have granted root access to will still work, but I am unable to give new apps permission.
The only way around this is to re-root and then the same things happens all over again after a few days of running the tablet. Has anyone else experienced this and if not, what am I doing wrong?!
Thanks!
Jeremy
Do you have Lux enabled by any chance? Not exactly sure why, but Lux was the culprit when I couldn't click on the install button for manually downloaded apps. I just pause Lux, click the button, then unpause it. Its seems to affect prompts that overlay the screen.
Then again, your issue could be totally unrelated.
Lux was the culprit on my tablet as well. But my workaround was always pressing home button when superuser request popped up...then opened up SuperSU and manually changed deny to grant.. Thanks for the heads up about lux, I thought LP was just interfering all along lol
I did have Lux enabled...you must have ESP.
I just re-rooted so I'll give it a go without Lux for a few days and once I'm sure SuperSU is working I'll install Lux and see what happens.
Thanks for the awesome tip!
don't forget to install busybox. ES really needs it for proper root functions. as do a couple other apps here and there.

The Twilight app (screen filter) also block "Grant" button at SuperUser prompt.
When I disable it, the "Grant" button works fine.
Somewhere in Lux settings (I stopped using it and don't remember exactly where) there is an "alternative overlay" option you can enable. That should unblock the grant button.
It was getting on my nerves.
Thank you very much .
I had the same problem on Nexus 5. Lux was the culprit.
Wish you success!
There is a setting in Super User called Tapjacking protection "The superuser prompt dialog will not respond to input while obscured by any other window or overlay"
You can uncheck this option, grant superuser, then re-check the option.
You do not have to uninstall Lux... Nor disable Tapjacking protection in Su.... Just go to 'Settings' (in Lux app)>Advance> and check "Use alternative overlay". That solved the problem for me.

Hi!
I also have the same problem in Samsung Galaxy Mega 2. Frozen buttons on SuperSU prompts and also frozen install button when installing APKs.
Want to know what is LUX so that I may also set it's overlay setting as proposed as a solution by someone above...

I have disabled tapjacking protection in SuperSU and it's buttons in prompt are no more frozen now.
But install button while installing APKs is still frozen.
What is this LUX so that I may change it's settings also?
---------- Post added at 07:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 AM ----------
Just got to know that LUX is an auto brightness app. I didn't have it installed. So my issue is not due to that. But still I installed it and enabled overlay protection checkbox but still my install button is frozen while installing apps from APKs. While cancel button works.
My SuperSU frozen buttons problem solved by enabling tapjacking protection checkbox.
So my only issue remains that of frozen install button.
I installed Greenify on my HTC M7 with Cyanogenmod 12, but didn't get the 'Grant Root Access' question. Now Greenify can't hibernate.
I tried deleting and re-installing the app, but it didn't help a bit. Also tried using superuser apps, but still no root access question. For I think that's the cause why Greenify can't hibernate my apps in Root mode. Any ideas on how to fix this?
You could check your SuperUser/Super SU to ask for greenify root permission again. What probably happened was that you failed to respond in the short window of time to allow root access to greenify when the popup appeared for the first time & now it is denied unless you manually tell your SuperUser/SuperSU to ask again. Do check the log for permission allowed/denied in your SuperUser/SuperSU app. Hope it helps.

Have Useruser installed right now, but can't find this option? No apps in application list. Can you tell me how I should do the above?
Looks like a problem with root access on my phone
Newest stable version works but doesn't ask for root privilege. Rooted using Chainfire's supersu.
Also happened to me, but here's the deal, just follow the new setup wizard without root access anyways, then when you have access to the app settings you can change to root mode and force to greenify anything, or try to activate any settings that require root, super su should prompt, then you can grant root access, it's working fine for me now
Best of luck

Which settings require root? I've toggled all the settings and none of them made it ask for root.

For me it asked for root when I changed settings under "wake up tracking and cut off".
If nothing happens to you reboot your phone and try again, you could also check to see if there is any denied requests of greenery in super su app and manually grant it.

Oh it works just fine. It's just not showing up in Supersu as having root access.
I have the same problem.
After I updated from the market today I can't get greenify to properly request root access.
When I run it I tell it I'll rooted, see it saying it's requesting root access but supersu doesn't prompt then says it can't get root. Same results with rebooting.
In supersu there are no request prompts from greenify. I deleted the greenify access to see if that would get it to reprompt but it still says can't get root and supersu shows no requests in logs.
Other apps still work fine in supersu.
Edit --
Interesting, I disabled the module in xposed and when it prompts for root supersu pops right up. So I gave it access that way but logs show that once the module is reenabled it never asks for root.
Weird
Can't get root privilege
I've updated it trough the market and followed the wizard. When its given the choice i selected root but response is> there is no root<, so i decided to recheck it manual as suggested in the app)Same problem, no root request popup, not showing in su(chainfire). Also wake up tracker does not remember it's setting.
What i did so far:
Reinstall greenify, reinstall SU, deselect Geenify module and select again in xposed.
Reboot
Never it shows up in SU or get root request permission popup.

Got mine to work by deselecting Greenify module in Xposed and rebooting. Started Greenify app and it said to either to activate the Xposed module or select non-root mode. I clicked on Greenify settings and tried to change Xposed settings and a popup window asked if I wanted to activate Xposed module. I selected yes, Xposed started, I selected Greenify module and rebooted. During the bootup process, Greenify asked for root permissions.
A similar process worked for me: deactivated the Xposed module, rebooted, started the Greenify app, then I went into the Greenify settings and turned on the enhanced wake up tracker, which caused Greenify to request root. Granted permission, then reactivated the Xposed module and rebooted again. Checked in SuperSU that Greenify had permissions, then I just had to re-enable the Xposed based features in the Greenify settings.
Having done that, however, I see from the SuperSU logs that Greenify isn't actually requesting any root permissions since I re-enabled the Xposed module. I suspect the new version is using Xposed for all its root access and no longer needs root permissions for the app in Boost (Xposed) mode.
Lots of guessing here.
I tried doing a plain re-install. Greenify comes up with the new setup process, tells me it's going to request root access and then does... nothing. Then it complains it can't get root access and stays there so can't install anymore. Completely broken. Unless I want to go without root which is not my intention as I don't want to use it with a reduced feature set.

Read prior posts for further guidance. Seems others have got it to work. I had zero/nada/no problems on latest betas w/Xposed and SuperSU 2.76. YMMV.
What can I say.... I do a clean install, the app says it's going to acquire root and then fails. I'd call this a bug... Honestly.

Using SuperSU? If ≥ 2.77 try 2.76 (terminal build by ChainFire).
BTW - I tend to agree there's a glitch somewhere given complaints; Q&A will hopefully allow dev to isolate/rectify.
I'm using SuperSU v2.78 with the latest Greenify v3.0 build 5 beta and it working fine.
Wonder if I should drop back to v2.76 and how to even do that without losing root?

This page has a link to the SuperSU v2.76 zip on ChainFire's site, which can be flashed with TWRP, etc depending on your phone.

I have not tried to flash it myself.

If life is good don't change anything! I'm not out to skewer SuperSU v2.78; the problems I and a few others experienced are likely outliers with various contributing factors. That said, SuperSU 2.76 has been rock solid on my devices as have most of ChainFire's previous releases. Sticking with what works for now.

Did all of the above and it doesn't show in supersu. Strange thing is Greenify works with root+boost selected just fine. Doesn't show in su logs either.
If you moved Greenify apk to
"/system/priv-app", it won't need to ask SuperSU for root and won't be in the SuperSU log. Is that the case here?

Hum - assumed those with Xposed framework left Greenify as a user app. Perhaps not the case for all. As you pointed out one would not necessarily expect a prompt for privileged access if the app resides in "/system/priv-app" depending on how the active SU manager (typically SuperSU) is configured.
I don't think you can do anything to the SuperSU configuration to make it so apps in priv-app have to ask for SU permission. I have other apps in there and have never seen them ask and they are not in SuperSU log either.
I moved my Greenify apk into priv-app because it wasn't clear to me that there was nothing to gain by doing that as I already had Xposed installed and working. Have since moved it back to original folder in /data/app/.

- Android 6.0.1
- SuperSU 2.78 (systemless root)
- Xposed
- latest Greenify Beta from PlayStore (in Root+Boost mode)
- NOT installed as system app or anything.
Same problem here -- Greenify never asks for root, is not listed in SuperSU logs. Greenify initially had root access iirc, but one of the updates from PlayStore removed it.
Nevertheless Greenify seems to be working fine though.
EDIT: All other root apps on my phone (OnePlus 2, stock OxygenOS 3.1) don't have any issues with root access.

Go to your ROM's Settings>Security>Device Administrators and enable Greenify.
Go to Settings>Apps>Draw over other apps, usage access and enable Greenify in both.
Go to Trouble shooting in Settings of Greenify and open each option and enable them.
If you are not rooted, then permision under Accessibility in Settings of the ROM has also to be granted.
After granting the permissions, reboot and check.
