Hi guys,
I have looked on the internet and followed the instructions (allow apps to ignore battery optimization) . But the Navbar apps accessibility keeps turning off after a bit. Also, i have to keep re enabling the Google now from voice and input for it to work on pressing home button.
I am on MM, my variant is kiw-al10. My phone is rooted and bootloader is unlocked.
PS. i have Google assistant enabled using xposed.
anyone??????

Hello,
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy SIII.
I used to have no password protection on my phone, just a screen lock that had to be unlocked by swiping. However recently, I had to agree to enabling a password when installing an application (I forgot what application I installed). Now, the options 'no password', 'swipe', 'motion', 'face unlock' and 'face and voice' are "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage".
Is there a way to enable those options again? as mentioned, my phone is rooted.
I hate having to type a password or pin everytime I unlock my phone. Furthermore, when the screen is idle but the phone is unlocked, tapping the home button takes you out of the application so the power button has to be pressed. However this power button is also the lock button, so often this locks my phone when I tap it twice by accident or when I tap it when the screen is on but backlight is dimmed.
Please, I know many people would advise me to have a password on my phone, but I don't want it period. So don't try to convince me to leave it enabled.
Already many thanks for the help!
If the application that forced you is still there there is no solution.
You should look in Settings> Security> Device Administrators to see if the app is admin, and disable it.
Thank you for your reply.
However, I went into settings > security > device administrators: there was only one application ticked as a device administrator, being Samsung Kies. I unticked the box, and rebooted my device, but in settings > lock screen nothing has changed.
Furthermore, I guess Kies has to be an administrator to have it function properly?
Is there really no solution to this?
Hey
Which rom are you using?
And also try a factory format..that migght get this okay again...but it will DELETE ALL YOUR DATA LIKE APPS, CONTACTS, etc...

i had the same problem but i installed some CA security certificates for WiFi hotspot on my university(credential storage) that requires more secure screen lock (password,PIN,gesture pattern)
here is the solution, fail your PIN/password/pattern on purpose enough times to see the "Forgot password"option.Then click on it and unlock your phone with your google account. afther that it will lead you to "Choose your screen lock style" page, and DO NOT click any of them since you will be only able to choose PIN/password/pattern, just click back button few times to exit from that screen, and that's it. you will now have screen unlock with swipe AND with whatever-asked-you-for-secure-lock working
Google has rolled out the new smartlock option which features on-body detection. However, i have tried it and think it only works with the power button on the device (I am on Nexus 5 Android 5.0.1 stock and unrooted) and does not work with Greenify's hibernate now + lock screen shortcut. In other words, once I click Greenify's shortcut, the screen is locked and the on-body detection will be overridden. Can Greenify make the shortcut compatible with the on-body detection ? Thanks

Sorry, it's technically limited by Android system. That's why you need Xposed framework and “Boost Mode" activated in Greenify to get it compatible with "Smart Lock".
Hi, I've searched the forums but haven't found anything similar to my issue. We have a very non-popular android device at work..the Intermec CN51, running 4.2.2. This question would probably apply to any device though: is there any way to manipulate the api to disable Google now but keep the microphone function enabled? More detail: because these devices are government-specific, they are pretty locked down. However, certain screen swipes, such as swiping up on the lockscreen, causes the Google Now icon to appear instead of unlocking the screen. I was able to disable Google Now services to get rid of that function. This allows the end user to swipe up, down, whatever, and the lockscreen would unlock. However, this also disabled the microphone on the keyboard. Is there any code or configuration to prevent the microphone from disabling or not displaying? Thanks!
I recently installed Nova on my mate 10. Every time I try to swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the drawer (all apps), both drawer and Google Assistant will show. I tried so many way and did so many research and still could't figure out how to disable this Google Assistant shortcut feature. I drive everyday so I enjoy using Google Assistant to make phone calls when I am driving.
Does any one know a trick hoe to disable this Google Assistant swipe up shortcut in mate 10?
Thanks!
Hi, its simple. Follow this:
1. Go to Settings then search "Default Apps"
2. Select "Assistance & voice input" then select none
Enjoy your new mate
Thank you @deodass, my same problem solved perfectly!
If you do this on Pie, however, you can no longer access Google Assistant in any other manner (as far as I can tell). I have a Mate 10 and am using the off-screen navigation gestures (i.e., relying on the home button). Any thoughts?
Isn't it easier to disable the Gesture?

Read again, I'm using off-screen navigation (I have a regular Mate 10 with a home button). That choice is not offered unless you're using gestures.
deodatts, you litteraly saved my life. I had been searching for months for a solution to deactivate this pain in the a**.
Created this account here especially to thank you !!!! cheers
I want to get rid of it too, but I want to keep Hey Google. When I initially disabled assistant, Hey Google still worked. Then, while looking for a way to change the tts voice (only two options, red and orange, showed up in the Google app) I installed Google Assistant from the Play Store and deleted it afterwards, and "Hey Google" under Voice Match in the Google app settings has been greyed out ever since unless I enable Google as the assist app and not just as voice input, which again enables the annoying swipe up gesture. Any idea how to go back?
Hi guys,
I'm using the smart lock/unlock feature on a Android 6 phone. But I can only select 30mins for the unlock-state, and smart unlock is very unrelyable.
My problem is that for using GooglePay, I have to set a lockscreen. But throughout the day I'd prefer having the screen always unlocked. Only in case I active NFC, I want the lockscreen to be active.
So maybe there is a way I could change the 'lock_screen_lock_after_timeout' settings to eg a couple of days (or even endless)?
Thanks
I faced the exact same issue.
I ended up following your suggestion and setting lock_screen_lock_after_timeout to several days.
It works, however the screen doesn't lock at all, which means when you press the power button you you will get straight to the launcher or whatever app was launched. Some people will be OK with it, but personnally I miss the "swipe to unlock" feature.
edit: I just noticed you are on Android 6. In that case, you could use Xposed in conbination with the lockscreen disabler module. It will let you disable the lock screen and trick Google pay into thinking it is enabled. It used to work great on my previous phone. Sadly, Xposed trips Safetynet so Google Pay will most likely refuse to work.
Can I use Xposed without root? Cause I don't want to root my phone just for that feature.
How did you set the property? Do you use any app?
The problem is, I know the property to be set, but I don't know how to achieve that
