Hi guys, I posted this elsewhere, but hopefully this helps everybody.
After rooting my Verizon SCH-I545 on NG6(I545VRUFNG6), I experienced tons of random crash/reboot issues, and finally found a solution last night!
This requires Xposed Framework to work of course.
Download the Xposed Module- "Samsung KitKat systemserver crash fix". It says it's for a different version but it has stopped every crash/reboot and I'm on the Verizon NG6 update.
The processes that are causing the crash/reboot are the 7 Knox processes. If you would like to remove these, backup your phone, then uninstall all Knox processes with an app like Titanium Backup or a similar app that can delete system apps.

Big thanks to @thomashofmann for the module.
This is my first thread, so let me know what you think!

Any idea how to read the log file, or where it's at. I got two notifications that it stopped the phone from rebooting/crashing. It said it had to do with a Knox process.
Here's the notification.
There is a log feature in Xposed, and you'd just have to look for the details that the notification gave.
Another suggestion for fixing the reboots is to freeze the processes that are causing the crashes, since most of them are Knox related processes.

Freezing is not enough! You must deinstall all seven Knox pieces.

To uninstall them, I'd recommend using something like NoBloat to backup and uninstall them.
Thanks for the tip.

I used Titanium Backup. That's ok too.

Same here. If the reboots are gone I'll let you know tomorrow.
I tried this fix and it seems to help. Three 'modules' appear to still be failing but the patch is at least keeping the fone from rebooting. Can provide additional details (log file) if it would help anyone?
It work for me.... Thw xposed module and delete knox apks from system priv app and then unistall knox apps with root unistaller....
Deleted the 7 knox apps and one com.sec.knox..... also. This has got rid of all reboots.
Used Titanium Backup to delete them.

This also seem to work for me. But what i did is freeze all of them wit the called app quarantine.
Edit: reboots continue to happen. Installed xposed and the samsung Kitkat crashserver fixer and problem fix. Thank u for all the links. Phone seems a lot more stable now.

-I updated the OTA NG6 and experienced the random reboots.
-Emailed the Verizon regional President, rcvd callback within hours, they verified I did the FRB so sent me another phone (Factory Refurb).
-Phone arrived with NC5, s I did the OTA again and got the same random reboots.
-Did the ODIN NC5 kernel. Towelroot, Odin NG6 krenel rooting process successfully.
-installed Titanium Backup, FROZE all files having KNOX.
-So far random reboots have stopped.
Thank you Verizon Executive office of the President Eastern states, but the problem seems very clearly associated with the KNOX software...
This was exactly what I did with the exception of getting a new phone. I froze all Knox apps, but continued to get reboots. Odin back to NC5, root, and has been fine for a week.

Freezing them doesn't work as you found out. If you delete them the reboots go away.
Wrong post sorry
Could someone please list the 7 Knox files to remove in NoBloat? I went through the whole process last week and after deleting every file with "Knox" in it my device was bricked. I had to flash a stock version of NC5 to get it running again, but now Verizon is forcing me to update.

Thanks! I uninstalled exactly as shown in Titanium Backup, powered down, powered back up, and no problems to be seen. I hope it stays that way
My first attempt must have bricked my phone because I just deleted a bunch of files, rather than uninstalling the actual apps. But thanks to the interwebs, I don't have to buy a new phone. Suck on that Verizon/Samsung.
Will simply deleting the KNOX apps in TI backup work or will I need to use the xposed fix as well? I don't have the ability to run nandroid so I got nervous at the prompt xposed gave stating that the device may not boot after it is installed.
Hi guys, whenever im on lollipop be it .726 or .28 most of my rooted apps close instantly without errors (ie, hide call and sms, wifikill, and other rooted apps ).. this does not happen when im on kitkat... titanium backup works fine however... pls help..
Hey guys! I got problem. I can not logged to snapchat with my NOTE EDGE (SM-N915FY) on THAT ROM. I try backup by titanium backup in stock rom where I can log in before I rooted it. But when i restore apk+data after few second snapchat automaticly logged of me. I have no idea why this don't work. Maybe someone have the same problem and solve it. Help me! I use magisk root with hide but on stock and custom rom they don't pass SafetyNet and i don't know why.
Hey just saw this by coincidence and know the problem and the solution:
Snapchat gets blocked on rooted ROMs including rooted stock ROMs. I managed to get it to work by doing Titanium backup of a working version and then restoring it on my rooted device. Have a look at the two links below. Instead of Bluestacks as some recommend, I'd probably use the Nox Android player. Getting root on it is easy:

Good luck.

No. If your device working well after uninstalling apps then it not affect on after unrooting phone.
