List of bloatwares - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my phone and I wanted to remove unwanted apps, any one can give me a list that I can refer to while removing apps?

I'm not sure about sammy as I this is my first samsung phone, but in my previous and first Android device the Motorola RAZR if u remove bloatware you will not be able to update ota.
We freeze bloatware instead.

Well once he's rooted there are no more OTA as his device is now branded 'Modified' anyway

The list is there in the themes section. ...I thought you could have easily searched. .... unfortunate

When I rooted my galaxy note 2, I couldnt update it... does that mean I have to unroot it when there is android 4.2 update for my galaxy note 2? ??

Unroot, use triangle away, restore stock recovery if you switched to cwm and factory reset to change from modified to stock

If only haha. Once you unroot, the device still says modified because the binary flash counter has increased from 0 to 1 (or higher). That pretty much tells the phone that your device was modified.
There are a few guides around on how to do it. I can't really search at the moment as Im on my phone.

ok...
So If I want to update with samsung when android 4.2 comes out so I have to use triangle away and also unroot it???
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Thats right. Someone mentioned just downloading the file from www.sammobile.com when its released and flashing that with odin.
Im not sure if that works while rooted but may be worth investigating?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Ok... then...
I'll go check it
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
There is guides in this forum relating to your issue, but basically use Triangle Away, then wipe data/cache and it should change your status, though some say it reverts back to modified after time...
I would just leave it rooted. 4.2 based roms will be available here probably long before you would see it getting pushed to your device by your carrier.

Downloading and installing the firmware using ODIN resolves the issue.

Guys... I tried using triangle away...
The binary count wont go lower than 1 but atleast the update is working now...

Ok ...
I flash my device with odin mobile pro and factory reset everything...
Looks it looks new
The binary count and everything else is new and official

Exynos Mem Bug Expolit

There is currently a bug in samsung kernel that will allow any app to obtain root even on non rooted devices without any prompts this could be potentially be very damaging if it's a malicious app
App to verify if you are affected https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lowlevel.exynosmembug
Temp fix apk *requires root though*

Isn't it how we accomplish root?

I believe previous exploits like super one click involved running the apk and commands were done in terminal and adb debug had to be checked off so the user should be well aware of it running. I'm not certain but I believe this one will allow an app to get root even on unrooted phones with out access to terminal so pretty much without the user knowing. Well any how I just prefer to be safe.
I rooted jb with it

It's an easier way to root than being tethered a computer and having to use odin. Especially with the jellybean leaks.

I think you are wrong, but it also might be that I do not understand this thing. Just check out the photos below.
I had multi window before I had rooted my note2, from factory. I haven't updated my phone since due to some reasons too big to explain here. Oh, and I am still on stock ROM, and 4.1.1 with LJ3

Just flash the latest stock ROM using Odin.
OTA updates are highly unreliable. As the sds bug has been fixed for 4.1.2, do it without delay.

Dll4 didn't. flash dll7 or ubdma3 or xxdma5 or xxdma6 or ubdll3 or xxdmb2.
Ubdma3 has the highest change list but all of the list have sds and exynos bug fixed.

Is 4.3 a fota?

My grandma has a sprint Note 2 (I have an S3) and is the 4.3 a FOTA? I won't be able to get to her until like Dec 20th and root her phone.and install CM or modded stock. I told her to click no whenever possible for the update. And she said she will. But if it forces I can't help that. I'm trying to avoid KNOX.

The Sprint Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 update did not include KNOX.
Yes it is knox is on that update I had to use root to remove it . But lorjay589 has a rom with 4.3 without knox bootloader or any of the knox files that's what I'm running now. Try reading the threats for more info to help you out more.

So Knox can be removed on these phones?

Yup it can read around the forum it can be completely non existent on 4.3 using lorjay 598 rom or removing it your self. His rom even remove the knox bootloader which prevent you from downgrading . Read the thread he has

Well she is 100% stock not rooted. Fota stands for forced ota so can she just keep tapping no until I can get to her and root it and flash a 4.3 ROM?

I had read that Samsung did not push KNOX out on the Sprint Galaxy Note 2 (4.3) update because of file size, but I found the files on my Note 2 using Elixir. I don't have the app icon, but the files are certainly loaded on my phone. Thanks for the heads up!
No problem. Some devices have the icon in the app drawer like my s4 but this does not sneaky samsung.

Do you have any warranty left on your phone? If you do, rooting may trip the Knox counter and void the warranty.
I'm not worried about the warranty I just want my phone to be better

Rooting will certainly allow you to remove bloatware and the like.
Do you have VMWare on your mac? If you do, you may be able to follow one of the 4.3 rooting guides that requires a PC.
No I don't have amything. So I need a step be step that can be used on a Mac.

As a side note, rooting will not automatically make your phone better.
If you have access to a PC, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538991
My main reason to root it the battery, bloat ware, and free tether. Sadly I only have a Mac and its like pulling teeth trying to find a way to root for 4.3 on a dang mac . Looks like I may have to find a Buddy with a pc
