Secure Folder On Rooted Note 7 VZW? - Verizon Note 7 Questions & Answers

I have seen some people in different posts with rooted note 7 (not necessarily from Verizon) that haven't lost their ability to use the Secure Folder. I was wondering if it's possible to use this feature with a rooted Verizon note 7?

Yep it can be used and found in spite of Verizon rather than because of Verizon (just like Samsung Cloud). You can use the "QuickShortcutMaker " App. And search for "Phone Maintenance" under Activities. Then you will see several and click "try" once you get the one you want then you click create shortcut.

I've followed the steps and still can't get the secure folder to work.

[Q] Native Hotspot on Note 4

Does anyone know of a way to get the native hotspot working on the Note 4 by adding DUN to the LTE APN's like on the Note 3?
The APN's aren't able to be edited on my Note 4, like I was able to on my Note 3.
Don't want to root my Note 4 yet, but need to get Hotspot back.

You could pay for the service that would make it work.
Sprint apns already have dun added use galaxytools from the themes and apps section
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Free mobile app
I remember before the phone was released, someone claimed to have it working. It was in some thread, I think, I the original development t area.
Another option, you could use WiFi Tether Router. I know it's expensive at around $3.50, actually a little less, but the developer does keep active in keeping it updated and does bug fixes. It's a little slower loading up than native hotspot, but I haven't had issues with the Note 2 once I figured out the settings it needed.
Galaxy tools worked perfect for me
I installed it twice cause it wasnt sticking at reboots on first install of native hotspot.
Now it works fine every time i reboot the only thing is everytime i turn it on i have to go to configure hotspot and advanced settings and put maximum connections to 8 cause it goes back to 1

Don't you have to be rooted to use the tools and WiFi teacher router? OP said he isn't rooted, yet.

Thanks a lot. Workeds perfectly.
We got the Native Hotspot hack working for the Sprint note 3 w/ root. It's a simple smali edit. Bet it would work with the note 4 as well. It was the same from note 2- Note 3

Bloatware

Hello
I recently received my note 7, which I purchased directly from Samsung which means it should not come with any carrier bloatware. I inserted my Canadian Rogers SIM card before turning on my phone and going though the initial set up only to finish and find a bunch of Rogers bloatware like 'MyRogers' and 'AppZone'. I have tried to uninstall these apps but I am only given the option to disable them. I even did a factory reset and made sure there was no SIM card during the whole process, but after completing it, those same bloatware apps were there. Is this normal? Is there a way I can uninstall these apps? One of the reasons I purchased directly from Samsung is so I wouldn't get all those carrier bloatware apps, but for some reason they are in my phone. Any comments and/or help is appreciated.

Just disable them and move on. If Disable is greyed out, use Package Disabler Pro. Also, apps are pre built into the system as system apps, so unless you find an untouched original firmware and flash it through odin, it will always have bloatware. I've disabled 137 samsung apps/services and my phones running like a beaut lol.

So all those websites saying that buying from the manufacturer is better because you won't have all that carrier bloatware are wrong? I read somewhere that they say that when you put a sim card in, it will automatically download all that bloatware, but I just realised my old Nexus did not have this problem which makes things even more confusing.

Although I did disable a few regular samsung apps like internet, calculator, clock, my files, and i think a few others. Just scroll through the list anf checkmark what you want disabled, and leave the things you want enabled unchecked.

Honestly I dont know, I havent bought a phone from a carrier in 5 years. I just go straight to the source. Just use PDP
Once you activate it with a carrier they load their programs onto the phone during activation. Sprint does the same and you can uninstall most of it except for a few.

This is the correct answer, in order to prevent this from happening - go through the activation process without a SIM inserted.

My understanding is that all of the Note 7 versions shipped to carriers install the boatware automatically in the initial setup based upon the first sim that is installed.
So if you took a clean Verizon Note 7 to tmobile it would setup tmobile bloatware instead.
I haven't been able to find out if it is cleared upon reset. I don't know if/when it will be possible to have a bloatware free version here without going with a carrier that just doesn't offer a full version Note 7. It is an awesome phone one way or another!

Unless you found the unlocked, non-carrier branded Note 7 on Samsung's site that they have yet to release then you got carrier bloat. It's not enough to order FROM the manufacturer but it has to say unlocked as the S7 they released is .. there are S7's marked for carriers which will have Samsung bloat and carrier bloat whether it ships on the phone or is downloaded during setup.
Again, you have to have purchased the unlocked, non-carrier branded version. This has not been released yet. Now .. once it has the ROM from that version will make it's way out and you can flash it. Then you'll have what you thought you purchased. :good:

Sorry, that's incorrect. The carrier branded devices have the carrier specific 'bloatware' baked into the signed firmware package. For example, I set up my T-Mobile branded note 7 before I put my SIM in. The tmo bloat was already there.

Someone please list a complete list of Bloatware that is safe to remove from carriers thanks
Here is the list of apps I have disabled with Package Disabler Pro on my Verizon Note 7. I am sure there are other apps that could be disabled if one wanted, but these are the ones that I felt I didn't need/want and have had zero issues since disabling. This has seemed to free up more RAM, and I also think is helping with battery life a bit. Here is the list:
ANT + DUT
ANT radio service
ANT + HAL service
ANT Plugins service

Check out the tutorials for installing custom recoveries (TWRP) and rooting your phone in the other forum category:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/development
As far as I know you'll need Windows to run ODIN and Samsung USB Drivers, I could be wrong though. Just read through the stuff.
Your bootloader is locked. It's impossible to root atm.

Again, your bootloader is locked. So the simple answer is no.
Sent from my Galaxy Note 7.
in simple words, the bootloader is like the main gate to the internals of your phone, if locked, as on snpadragon based note 7, it is very, very difficult to root, the exynos note 7 are all open, there is at the moment only one method to root a snapdragon note 7, but I think it works only for AT&T
sucks and my 14 day return period is over ... now what
Now you learn the lesson... Never, ever, under any circumstance, buy a phone until you have verified it can be rooted. There had been an exploit for root with the SDs but Samsung fixed it in the replacement devices. You will hear people telling you root might still be attained and they are right but don't pin any hope on it.
Most people have been where you are and I number among them. The only thing you can do is sell the device, hope for root, learn your lesson. I'm sorry.
One difference is a lot of customizations are available In the basic Android software.... You may not have to root to get the features you want such as Free Hotspot (FoxFi), free music, peer to peer downloads etc...
May I ask what features you want on your phone that are only available if you "root" it??
3 minit battery, Viper4android and titanium backup are what I'm missing. ????

I agree 1,000% @Braca Ganon. There are more apps available today that allows you to access the same features as root so rooting isn't really a necessity as it once used to be. I've rooted every phone I've owned but I have no need to with this phone. Even on my Note 5 I saw no need to root. I was able to debloat carrier apps( Package Disabler Pro), use hotspot( FoxFi and PdaNet combo), change themes and icons( Samsung Theme Store) and much more, Plus, if you do decide to root, you can kiss Samsung or Android Pay goodbye. I also saw some had issues with the Iris Scanner after rooting as well. I personally love the fact that whatever feature I want to use on my phone I can do so with no FCs or trial and error. Custom Roms are based on the Devs likes and dislikes so what you think is a cool feature or function the Dev of whatever rom you are on may think its not and remove it. Once that happens, its more than just adding an .apk to priv-app or system apps, changing permissions and rebooting. It's more involved. This world is light years ahead of an IPhone jailbreak. No disrespect but a 70 year old woman can jailbreak an IPhone. LoL. Op read up on the benefits of root and what you think you need it for. You may be able to get the best of both worlds and still enjoy all the features and functionality the Note 7 has to offer. Samsung has done an excellent job coming into the times as far as root is concerned. They are making it so we don't have to root and can enjoy the benefits and features of these insanely expensive devices. I suggest you use the phone for a bit to its full potential and if you still think you need root then go for it but I'm almost certain you will realize you won't need it. Ultimately, its up to you.
Anyone know how to hack pokemon without root ? This was my Main reason of rooting

There is no app or combination of apps which can globally remove all ads everywhere on your phone without root. For me removing ads by itself is more than enough to make root an absolute necessity. Nor can any non root app allow you to modify your build.prop as you see fit. Nor can any non root app allow the full functionality that Ti performs. I can go on here for quite a long time but where I'm going is that if you had at one time rooted your phones and don't need it now you hadn't been using the power of root. Root access and what you can do with it has not changed. Nor does any app without root access now do anything an app couldn't do 5 years ago because root access is root access and the lack now is no different than the lack then. Manufacturers have done things like added a close all but everything they have added altogether as a group is only a fraction of what you can do with root.
Whether a person needs or wants root depends on the person but there is no substitute for root and there never will be in the current paradigm. I applaud offering up such fixes as are available on the market. It may be for the OP these are enough but they will not be a substitute for root. As he appears to be new to Android I don't want him to walk away from here thinking that root isn't needed. It may be and it may not be but if you want to make android your bich it absolutely must be had.

I use Adguard to remove ads globally from my phone and it works better, to me anyways, than Adaway or anything equivalent but this is just my usage. Everyone's MMV. As far as using the power of root, I was one of the biggest believers in root. However, I was tired of the trial and error associated with it while running other Custom Roms( notice I keep saying I as this is just my experience). There is nothing more frustrating than going to use a feature and get a FC because either it was removed or the files associated with it were removed. Then you have to go into the archives of a stock rom and try to restore what was deleted and hope it works. At one point I just ran a fully stock rom with root and that worked for me but we both know how useless that is when you're rooted. At the end of my post I suggested to the Op, since he is new to Android, to use Android without it for a bit and see how he fares. If he still finds root is necessary than go for it. I would never tell anyone what to do with their device but you and I both know that root is becoming more of a hassle these days because of all the added security. As a newbie, this can scare the crap out of someone but ultimately it is the Op's decision.

I don't play Pokemon Go. I also didn't know you needed root to play that game. I thought it was merely an app.

Pokemon go can be played without any root... when the gps hack was available root WAS NOT required... it was a separate app through a different developer... it worked great for about a week, then niantic cut it off..
Once again I'm asking the OP why HE WANTS ROOT... He's coming from iphone...
Im not stupid enough to ask the Android central community as a whole why they want root... Ain't nobody got time for that

I say half of pokemon go players are on a jailbreak / root playing from a fake location..
If someone can get me a non rooted version hack i can compensate you
I'm

Yeah I read up on the newest hacks... it seems there's apps that don't require jailbreak but I don't know of any Android apps.. keep searching google. Someone will come up with an android hack before long... the first big hack was an android app
They will absolutely release a hack app for Android... just keep searching google

That only works on pre-recall PH1 Note 7's, you can't root the new Note 7's with PHE.

Do we still need root?

Guys,
I have been rooting my devices for countless years now, but Iately I found myself wondering why.
So, I decided not to root my S4. So far, so good:
- Blokada works great for ads (and until one month ago AdHell was an even better alternative)
- Tasker does its job as well using Autoinput (obviously, I had to rewrite all my tasks)
- I had given up on Xposed a long time ago, due to Safety Net violations.
In essence, I believe that stock + OTAs + Knox works well and I don't need to root.
Wha are your experiences with no-root workarounds?
Wouldn't bother tbh, S4 rom forum is dead, only been 2/3 roms made!
I use to root all the time, back since I had the first HTC desire.
As of recent i haven't and I'm not missing it, S8+, Tab S4 and Samsung A5.

Root?
To make decent backups using TitaniumBackup.
To transfer data to/from the ext. SD card using ssh/scp/rsync.
To disable lots of unneeded/unwanted 'standard' tools.
Root makes you a owner of your gear. Without root the device can do with you whatever.
Firewall, freezing unwanted apps, fighting against Google nosy curiosity. Making sound better with magisk modules.
But Samsung is stupid with their bad strategy, they don't respect warranty if your device is rooted.
Best solution is Xiaomi or OnePlus, but they haven't tablet with such great screen like Samsung galaxy tabs S series

Samsung may not, but according to european legislation the vendor is responsible to provide warranty for an appropriate period of time, at least one year.
Simple answer yes root is need please also note i was well against root i was gutted that i rooted my Tab S4 LTE Model that I rushed into without the research!
But since Samsung gave us the middle finger last month by denying us the KNOX API Key for Adhell 3 root is a must if you truly want to enjoy ad free bloatware free Tab S4 experience!
ROOT ROCKS!

Hello what does this do "ssh/scp/rsync"? Does it transfer apps to sd card?

For simplicity, scp is a network file copy tool and rsync is a network file sync tool. They use ssh as a network protocol.

rooting is the first thing to do with each device before it connects to network and start calling home.
rooting is a must: bloatware removal, adblocking, privacy, modding, security. you can install dnscrypt, force adguard on vpn and with adaway. you can enable call recording. you can have adfree usable youtube. you can include any app in parallel apps. you can modify the extra button. you can have same gestures on every phone (xposed Edge). you can have Swiftkey improved. you can crystalize agressive apps (3C). you can run your scripts. you can backup (titaniumbackup). all those thousand of settings in hundreds of apps backed up. endless possibilities.
for me i have to have adblocking, device identifiers masking, encryption and call recording on each device before first turn on (or second, but networks off). otherwise it has to be turned off. like in case of Xiaomi where you need to wait 2 weeks to unlock - i didn't touch the new phone until it was unlocked then rooted. #principles

Hi. I haven't had an android device for many years before this tab. Before that, I had a Note 2 on which i used to root and also have different roms running frequently.
I'm also considering rooting my tab s4 for a long time now. Could you share some more detailed about customizations that are available for tab s4 if I'm not willing to go to stock android roms? I'm asking about modifications to the offcial samsung based firmware.
Thanks

Same here, staying with rooted samsung firmware to enjoy the samsung extras. I will later setup a thread with debloat and list of verified modules to install. Also with a root guide, as i couldn't find one for encryption-only people.. found 10 guides but noone is using encryption. weird!

like described..similarly to others, without encryption disabler.

Will you root?

How many of you guys plan to root? Is it worth losing secure folder etc for easier themeing, magisk modules and better ad blocking?
I do miss swift installer even though synergy works OK
No.
Planning not to but say that every new phone lol
I didn't root my Note 9 (first ever android phone I didn't root), mostly because Adhell3, now that the app doesn't work anymore I don't know if I can manage without root... I guess we'll see...
No

I've been rooting all my android phones since my first one (galaxy mini) but I stopped rooting after I bought my note 9. Now I only root my backup phones.
Theres just too many good features that I'll miss if I trip my knox.
Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk
i think the question alot should research should be:
can i actually root before buying
I keep a rooted phone for certain things.
I don't root my daily drives now though. I think I burned myself out over the years. I prefer a stable, secure phone now.
HD2, I still love you though. ?
Every new galaxy phones I got didn't last a week without being rooted. It's my first time to buy a phone on its launching period. Most probably wont get rooted in a week or two, or maybe who knows hahaha.. depends on how our great devs would work on it lol
Rooted mine. For me i want to have the freedom of root. Don't care about the apps I loose
Already Rooted My Note 10+. Dr-Ketan Guide
No, I will not root it, samsung pay and secure folders are very useful features for me, I will only miss viper4A, I rooted my phones in the past, but it is not so necessary these days
Nope i use Samsung pay. And dont see much of a reason to root any more
Quick answer no rooting until samsung stop updates

Secure folder works on rooted too. Still it needs some patch. I have posted screenshot of secure folder yday on my root guide thread. Samsung pay won't. Still trying to work spay on gear, it is working on N8/N9 but yet not able to fix on N10. But I am on holidays and no twrp so cant dig much.
Probably later.
Because I'd like to keep the OTA updates.

Hey,
I was also a little bit frustrated that Adhell3 didn't work anymore, but I found an alternative that might help you. I am currently using my Note8 with an app called CCSWE App Manager (can be found on the playstore). This app with the coupled with the CCSWE App Manager Pro License (also found on the playstore but paid) app allows to disable packages, it uses KNOX. Not sure if it supports Note10, but works perfectly on my Note8.
I don't care about loosing Knox crap. I will root on day 1 of any device I own. Systemwide add blocking being my #1 reason. Also there is nothing like Titanium backup out there. IMO stock rooted is always great.

There is so much that works without root, if I feel the need to, then I might, but until then......:good:
