Note 7 Secure Folder heavy user - Note 7 Questions & Answers

I'm a secure folder heavy user. I got a few apps duplicated with my dual sim phone, that way I keep things separate, work and personal. How to get this on another phone?
I don't want to give up my Note 7!

I'd like the know the same thing. As a first time Samsung owner, that feature was very nice for a number of reasons. Any third party options to add this type of functionality to another phone?

Problem with secure folder is that you can't copy stuff back out of it!

Maybe it changed in the last update, but when I tried it,I put a video in there and wasn't able to copy it back out (when I found the Occulus player didn't support opening from secure folders- bummer). A quick bit of research at that point suggested this was the intention of secure folder to not allow security compromise of copying back out of it? Perhaps you can "un"secure it?
Edit: ok just tried again, and if you go into gallery inside the secure folder, there is an option to move out, yay. Didn't spot this option previously.

Extract the current wallpaper how to?

Hi there, here's my problem:
My desire had a funny turn and corrupted the sd card loosing all the photos from my honeymoon and first holiday with my wife (before I could back them up). After many attempts it seems impossible to recover them however one of my favorite photos is set as my background saving it (backgrounds are saved on the internal memory.
The question is "is there a easy way to extract my wallpaper without going root as the directory doesn't seem to be accessable."

Well, this might not be a perfect solution, but you can clear your homescreen of all the icons/widgets and take a screenshot by enabling USB debugginfg on your phone and capture the screen via android sdk. I assume you know how to do it.
This will give you a low-resolution version of the photo. You can have it as the worst case if you are not able to recover it in any other way.
Thanks for the suggestion, its an definite option. Its frustrating that I know the location just can't access it!

Just another solution
There is an app called ' wallpaper set and save' free from market. Using it you can extract the current wallpaper and it will be saved in full resolution in a folder called wallpapers.

How to use selection arrows at the edges of the screen

Also, how do you stop Android from ending the selection for you when you haven't finishes making toilet selection? Is there a trick like wiggling your finger twice to the left there times to the right to get the arrow to make it to the edge of the line at the end of the screen? Is there a 3rd party app to substitute this crap built into Android? It's not very finger friendly. What do you guys do? Thanks

Anyone sled use the Android tapatalk app for this forum? If so, have you found you cannot click on and edit/modify your post anymore? Or is it just my phone? Like my last post is empty. I wanted to either add something to it or delete it. Is there anything that works or are we just a bunch of impatient satisfaction hungry slurs that demand solutions to desired right now before you have time to make something properly functional? Excuse me. I don't know how many times I day working on my computer/phone I run into some design flaw in some program that slows me down. I would ha e just stick working with the mobile browsers had I known how crappy these forum apps would be. Hey look all cute and thumb ready with their widgets on your screen but really suck.

You try typing that and then selecting the first letter, but no cheating, select "select word" not "select all"

I'm not sure if this will solve it but its a worth a try. Go to settings/apps or app manager then scroll to ALL and then open settings and clear data and cache. And try again. This might wipe your setups.

Use Root Explorer.
Enable R/W
Go to /etc/permissions
Edit platform.xml as the bottom of the picture (add "media_rw" line).
Save and reboot

This is the only way it should be done.
Thanks all for the suggestions - I tried the geeksoft apk and it did the trick. Actually, the first one I tried probably worked also, but the app I was using wouldn't work (iTag)...but i switched to another (Mp3Edit) and that worked like a charm!
Incidentally, I opened that permission xml file to look at any changes, and it appears the line was added just as it should.
Thanks again!

Permission disabler

Hello all I am not sure if this it's the right place to post this, but I was wondering if anyone knew or knows of any way to disable permissions for an app. My reason being there's a rise in apps with permissions they have no business having. Facebook messenger for one, scanner radio and many more. I fear that trying to disable certain permissions without properly breaking an app down might break it,like not let u run it. I know this is a stupid subject but if anyone can shed some light on this situation it'd be much appreciated thank you

Depending on the ROM you can usually be fine disabling permission you genuinely find intrusive. For instance on vanir...

This app does the same thing. Neither of them do more than open the same activity that was found a while back.
