Private mode not working after root - Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I have read somewhere that the private mode will stop working once you root. I think there is a fix for the Galaxy Note 4, and I have tried it but they dont work on the edge :crying: Has anyone found a fix for the edge??? I really love this feature. Will flashing back to stock firmware fix it? or once the Knox has been tripped, has it gone forever??

Use the search function. Use wanam to disable secure storage or get the XSecureStorage module from xposed

Update: finally fixed. The key is to delete data/system/users/privatemode_edk_1000 files and reboot. But make sure you flash the fix zip files first. :thumbup:

[Q] Private mode on rooted phone

Hi everybody
is a Private Mode still working after root procedure on S6??
I know, that can by fix by one Xposed module called XSecureStorage but we don't have (yet) working Xposed on stock Samsung roms (hope not for long).
What else not working after root - Knox, Samsung Pay...... - what's more ??
Thanks

Did you ever find out the answer to this or end up trying yourself? Would be interested in knowing myself as well if it will work or not after rooting with pingpong.

Hi.
My phone is rooted by PingPongRoot - one of the first beta version (had to switch to SuperSU). Good thing is that Private Mode is still working OK. Now the only question is about Samsung Pay... but we need to wait for an answer.

Yeah, I actually risked it and ended up rooting using the most up to date version of pingpong (beta6) myself yesterday and private mode is working just fine for me as well.

You can block SDM.apk with this debloater if you don't want to be nagged anymore. Seeing that the update was already downloaded you will have to enter recovery mode and clear cache to get rid of the install nag. After you do that and disable SDM.apk you will no longer get the notification. I went ahead and installed it anyways because I'm not too concerned with root. I'd rather have a secure device.

Your welcome. I feel the same here. My S6 lost root the Note 4 never had it except the dev ed I had for a short time so I got used to no root as well. With the debloater it's no big deal for me anymore and being able to theme really settled the issue for me. I can do basically everything I want and still have a secure phone without worrying when root will get killed. I do miss building ROMs a little but I can deal without it.
weird layout after update
So I took the update and since the all my menus are on the right side of screen, my send button in text is now on the left side as well as my statusbar icons. Nobody else mentioned this. Is it just my n5?

Or the app package disabler does it perfectly from the phone itself without root. Easy check and uncheck

(UPDATED) CF Autoroot on Stock OI6 & OK3 - System-less Root - TESTED AND WORKS

@Chainfire's autoroot for the Galaxy Note5 for Sprint (SM-N920P), which can be found here: https://download.chainfire.eu/844/C...Auto-Root-nobleltespr-nobleltespr-smn920p.zip, I have only discovered while rooting my dad's Galaxy S6 (and the cf-autoroot method in the Sprint Galaxy S6 threads)... but the Note5 thread still uses the custom kernel method. Has anyone tried the autoroot method? How well did it work? Any problems? Did it work?
UPDATE:
I tried it and it worked like a charm ^.^ I was able to install XPosed and remove bloatware with no issues.
-Private Mode works - UNTIL YOU FLASH XPOSED. SEE WORK AROUND HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-note5/general/tutorial-how-to-fix-broken-private-mode-t3311610/
-S Health Works
-Samsung Pay DOES NOT WORK of course as flashing this WILL trip KNOX
-No Performance Issues since using stock kernel.

My one and only Windows PC just died and I'm in the middle of fixing it. The rest all use Linux. Otherwise I so would lol. I shall try it hopefully this week if not next.
If someone beats me to it, do post your results
It is a successful root, however I am noticing that my phone is now running pretty slow. But that might be due to the fact I just reset it to out of box default and it's just now loading stuff.
It is a systemless root however. I am certainly not a dev, and do mods simply for fun / to make my devices work the way i want them to... so can someone maybe elaborate on whether or not i should find a way to make the su binary exist under /system or if i should leave it be?
currently, busy box installed just fine. Will be trying xPosed next. But so far it seems to function and no glitches.
Xposed flashed just fine, did not cause any issues (so far) with private mode or S health. All works very well ^.^
EDIT: Flashing Xposed broke private mode. See fix here:

Cf auto root is the best method in my opinion. It is quick, efficient and works. Afterwards, flash/reflash custom recovery like TWRP if applicable

Samsung flow after tripping Knox?

I knew when Knox is tripped I might lose the functionality of some apps like Flow.
But since the phone was released for a while now is there any way to use Samsung Flow on rooted devices?
I tried Magisk Hide but it does nothing.
See if this helps:

Thanks for answering. I read that already. The problem is on phone the app says I can not use it due to root. Is there still no workaround?
Why does Magisk Hide not work here?
