Samsung knox, what will i lose when I trip the fuse? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ive searched the forums, and google, and cant seem to find a clear answer as to what I will lose when I trip the fuse. I just got a new(used) Galaxy S6, and the bloatware is driving me crazy. From what I understand knox is for protecting corporate data, by separating it from your personal data, now that tells me that I would need a app to make use of it, and it just basically isolates accounts/apps from each other, but Ive read I will lose the pay function also, does that include all NFC pay methods, or just samsung?
Also are there custom roms that support using the fingerprint unlock?

Samsung Pay will not work (although I hear Magisk can help with that). Other pay services may or may not work. If your company permits BYOD, they likely won't if Knox is tripped.
Fingerprint functionality is directly related to the kernel; so, if the ROM uses a stock kernel, Fingerprint should work. XtreStoLite, for example, has a working scanner.

Thank you, this is a personal phone, so I have no employer to worry about.
I know I can 'debloat' without root, but that just hides the icons from my understanding, I want the junk gone.

It disables the apps, which in turn hides the icons. There's zero performance difference between disabling, and removing. They'll take up space in the read-only /system partition, but you'll never, ever use the space if they're removed.

All the S6 debloat apps cost money, rooting will do it for free. Thank you though.

Uh, no. There are scripts that use the "pm disable" command via ADB. Totally free.

Gatesjunior made a great debloat tool. Here's a link, using the Note 7 as an example. There are safe-to-debloat lists for most phones, including the S6.

Just for information: Magisk won't help if your knox is already tripped.

Where are my manners, welcome to the forum.
You may want to read up about the process and also the repercussions of rooting. Have you ever Jailbroken an iPhone? Well rooting is the same thing for Android. It will give you access to the root filesystem and will allow you to edit system files to do stuff like, disable the splash screen on boot among other things. If this is all new to you your in for quite a read.
One thing about rooting the Note 3 is it will trip knox, which in turn will void your warranty. You may be lucky and have a model which can be rooted using RDLV, a method which doesn't trip knox and thus preserves your warranty. Knox is a fairly new thing from Samsung, which is designed to provide "advanced data and privacy protection". It is irreversible(at this point in time) and so you will have to weigh up what is more important, root or warranty.

Xposed performance

I have never installed xposed before and was wondering if it degraded performance or battery life any. My phone is running GREAT and I would hate to muck it up.
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app
Anyone? Would I be correct to say that installing xposed on android is like installing dot net on windows. Its just a library that doesn't do anything itself but allows certain programs to run?
Sent from my locked but not stocked XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app
yes you are right in that aspect. it injects itself into the framework.jar and allowed the modules to alter on a system level without the need of custom roms.

if it degraded performance it would be from the modules effects not xposed.

I'll be flashing xposed this weekend. I live in a verizon dead spot and my phone kills itself searching for signal so I want to try intelli3g and see if it helps with my battery life.

no prob. it can be a pain dealing with some of the module effects. but at least if you install it you don't have to worry about flashing roms

Galaxy S5, rooted - Android Pay blocked. What is the latest state of play on workarounds for this?
According to this, android pay will not work on rooted phones
http://www.xda-developers.com/android-pay-no-longer-working-with-systemless-root/
mine is NOT rooted app starts its when adding the card its states it does not recognize if the device is supported
Mine allows me to confirm my card details then says that the authorisation has failed as "Google does not accept cards from all us territories" ?? (Non-rooted)
ok gonna take a shot in the dark with this one, i recon that maybe you must have the banking app installed from participating banks maybe?

However, this information seems to be about 4 months old.; also, the article mentions a workaround. My question was really aimed at finding out whether there might be any more recent developments of use to UK users, as Android Pay only just launched here.

That being said, the non-root procedure would be to try to force stop all Google services. Also, try clearing data on them. Check if the play store has updates for them.

Hi TechGuyAnthony yes it is rooted
Ok. That makes things a bit easier. You could try and get a gapps package like one from
http://opengapps.org
Though you can get one anywhere. I can kinda tell that your home screen is pretty new so I'd think out of the architecture options you have it might be Arm64. But I'd make sure with CPU-Z or something like that.
Once downloaded place on either internal or external storage. Reboot into recovery (custom recovery needed such as, TWRP, CWM, etc) and install the package. As far as I know this is a google apps issue but if it still doesn't work then you are gonna need to factory reset or something.

Stock comes with every google app that is usually shipped with Samsung devices. You can choose that if you want but if you really want to squeeze a little extra storage into your phone then go with Mini

Like I said above, Mini is good for getting that little extra space out of your phone without loosing google features (I.e., Play store, YouTube, etc

Ya. Either that or get a diff. Custom ROM. It appears the ROM you are using might be broken. Maybe get Cyanogenmod. Lots of cool features and all that stuff.

Finally after so many attempts i was able to figure it out what was causing my settings to crash whenever i clicked on the Google icon. The main culprit was Google settings app which i happen to click mistaking it for settings app. Went to google settings app's app info which took me to google play services. Cleared its cache and data. Now its working fine. I have also hidden that nasty app so that i dont click it by accident again. ?. Gosh i'll always remain a noob ?

Completely restoring phone

I was wondering if there was a way to completely restore the device to its original state, with spay and spass working, knox, store letting you use credit cards etc. I imagine not, but I'd like to be sure.
Not e-fuses, which trigger Knox 0x1.
Just flash a stock image with Odin, best you're gonna get.
Also, wrong section.
Once you trip the knox there is absolutely no way to go back, You have tripped the E-Fuse,
the only way is buy a new samsung phone.
In old times when knox used to be software only it could be reverted back using custom kernels
now that it is implemented into hardware there is no way back.

Sorry about the section/category. Is knox responsible for not allowing credit cards to be used on the Samsung store too? Or can I somehow bring that back?

Yes, some banks allow access with knox tripped because of the way the security is configured in their apps and some don't.
Once knox is tripped it's game over with most "pay" services.
