SplashTiles requires 'Display over other apps' permission for overlay

This Android device requires you to use ADB to provide this permission


  1. Enable developer mode on your device:
    1. From the home screen of your device, select Settings.
    2. Select "About" menu (may be under device)
    3. Select the "Build" item and press the select key 8 times.
  2. Enable ADB on your device:
    1. From the home screen of your device, select Settings.
    2. Select Developer Options (may be in a sub menu).
    3. Turn on ADB Debugging (may be called USB or network debugging).
  3. Setup ADB on your computer (Note USB drivers are not needed since we use network connections)
    • Linux: sudo apt-get install adb or download the zip file and install
    • Windows: Download the zip file and install
    • Mac: Download the zip file and install
  4. Connect to your device using adb connect IP_ADDRESS
    IP_ADDRESS is the ip address of your Android device.
    You can find your device IP address from Settings -> About -> Network
    The first time you connect, your Android device will ask on-screen if you should allow this connection. Enter "yes and remember this device".
    You may need to run the adb connect IP_ADDRESS a 2nd time if it took you a while to do the last step.
  5. Run the needed commands (via adb shell)

    adb shell appops set com.videostorm.splashtiles SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW allow

  6. Disconnect with adb disconnect
