Android 7.1.2 Nougat - Draw Permission

Post by TheUnknownBuffalo » 08 Mar 2018 20:19

Hello everyone

I've updated my tablet to Nougat (custom roms - Slim7 & AOSP) and after a few flow triggers, AM errors stating it doesn't have drawing permissions from Android (when it does). All roms AM has root access.

I've tried the two Nougat roms, and also tried Marshmellow roms, all with the same issue. The only rom it seems happy with is KitKat. I'm running AM 1.33

Has anyone come across this, or any tricks to stop the erroring?

AFAIK, since MM 6.0+ there is a permission manager to handle the overlay. You have to go to settings - manage apps - permission or Automagic - permission. Then find something named "draw over other app", "show pop-up windows", "Enable overlay" or similar, and allow for Automagic. But It seems you have solved it.
