I was really annoyed about the stupid notification about rooted apps after rooting my GN3.
Fix? Download Titanium Backup and search for anything with 'Knox' in it. As always I backed up to SD card just in case. Deleted the apps, rebooted phone and now I don't get the stupid message anymore.
Screw Samsung Knox lol
I've seen a lot of people mentioning Knox, but mine wasn't pre installed (it is on the phone as a link to install) and I haven't gotten any notices for root or root apps yet. Lumen bar was annoying though, I got rid of that.

Not rooted yet(only cause I haven't looked how to do it yet) but I don't see anything with Knox. Agree with the Lumen bar comment.
Removing /system/app/KNOXAgent.apk should take care of the notifications.

I just Froze the Knox Notification, and they went away. It even cleared the notification that as there. The only issue im having is with Xposed, spoofing the system to read official instead of custom.

Requires root... Install host files... Reboot

Yes, did it ... still have ads in apps.. like Ninjump
Don't feel bad, it doesn't work for me either. Seems odd that it does work for some people and not others.
Are you sure your rooted? Uninstall and try again

Very sure I am rooted ( Ti Backup works just fine and I can use su in terminal). I have even uninstalled adfree and reinstalled with no luck. Hell, I even tried replacing the hosts file manually with a list that's kicking around on the forums. Still nothing. Just for ****s and giggles, I am re-downloading it right now. Its been a few weeks, maybe it'll work
No dice. Symlink is unchecked. Cleaning the cache now and will try again.
edit: still no luck. To be honest, its only my weathereye app that I'd really like to see the ads disappear from. I'd like to tear apart the apk and find the source of the problem, but I have never attempted something like that !
Guys I badly need help with this!
For those that got this to work what did you use? (Which Root method, and anything special done inside the app? I do have Symlink unchecked)
Specifically any Bell Users, how did you guys get this working? HELP!...

I'm completely rooted, and have done this exactly like I have on my Milestone and SGS.
Is there a way to get this going manually, since this app doesn't appear to work on the (Bell) Atrix?... Thanks!
Didn't you already post this in another thread ??
It's weird, when I installed GreyBlur when I first got my phone, the adblocking built in to it worked and I never saw any ads anywhere (It does the same thing as adFree I believe, so it's comparable...) but then a little later I reverted to a backup for some reason, so no adblocking naturally. And when I installed GB3.5 (now I'm on 4.5) I haven't been able to block ads at all since, either with just GB or with AdFree.
Until yesterday ADFREE was blocking all ads. After the upgrade stopped. The ads are appearing as if nothing block then.
This occurs in both wifi and 3G (Tim - Brazil)
Any solution ?
Tks !!
Edit:
I managed to make it work:
- Uninstall, reboot and install again
- Clear data from applications that have ads
- Restart if necessary
work that way here.
This thread seems to work for some: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122086
More often than not I have to go into app manager and manually force close apps because they are stuck on a black screen and just freeze that way. Also, busybody pro won't install when I try to install it in the normal fashion but when I download busybody installer app it installs super fast. There a reason for that?

The apps that freeze are they rooted apps? If so have you tried downloading supersu? Supersu helped my frozen rooted apps a lot.

Sent from my MB870 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk
You will have both su and supersu. Just get supersu from the market it is free. Supersu seems to do most the work after you install it. Acts the same as su but it helps with the freezing apps on cm7. It also will allow you to update binary in the supersu.

So you are running both Supersu and Superuser? When I tried Supersu out, I ran both and still had issues, then I removed Superuser (not an easy process) and still had issues. I just created a script that will allow me to kill the offending process. Then I can go in and restart the app and it works just fine. Usually I only have to do that after a reboot.

Yes I have both on my phone? Is that bad? I trust you moon shadow. I usually have to go to manage apps and forceclose app and then it usually opens with no problems. Should I ditch the supersu? Also curious to the script you made. I am glad you will still have the x2 for a while unless you get tired of it and buy another phone. I know I have been watching for good deals in used nexus. Kinda sad around here with not much happening anymore. The x2 community is a great group. I have been on bionic forums for my wife. And I can say x2 community are always there to help and very friendly. I wish I could say the same for the other device forums.

Honestly, I ditched Supersu when I reflashed my phone. (I had problems with some mods I did that hosed it and all of my nandroids were bad.) It's a pretty simple bash script. And, yes, I'm around until JUN2013...
If you want more on the script, PM me and I will start a thread.
Ciao!
Ya I ditched supersu today as well since I was having the issue still. Would love to see a thread on your script

Thanks guys, Travis and Moon, other than running scripts and manually force closing apps (which is what I do too), No magic app that just stops this annoying problem from happening? Deleting supersu again, thought maybe I overlooked something with it the first time I had it but nope, apps still not opening.

Script thread is here: Script for killing root apps that don't start properly.
Ciao!
This glitch is the only thing I dislike about CM7, but I think I figured out a pretty good solution to the issue. Under settings, then applications, then development there is a box for "long press back key to kill app". If the app is not opening, simply holding in the back key for a second kills it.
The only apps I have this issue with is netflix and boat browser. My root apps all work fine.

Does this list assume you've rooted and flashed a different rom? I don't think touchwiz home is safe to disable if you're stock.

Its a list ( more than one on that post ) of apps that can be removed .
Stock and non rooted it does not apply apart from you could use it as a guide to some of the apps .
No root = No XDA .

No it does not say it anywhere on this forum but same is the case with "This Forum is only for those who can read", it is no where in the forum rules. But it is assumed.
Similarly, this forum is based on development, which again means that you will have to work with system files which in turn means that you need to have root access..
Most of the tools, methods, guides on this forum are for root users.
And this is what JJ meant. I hope I made it very clear.
100% correct zoot1.
No root = no development = no XDA .
Sure you can join XDA and not root but you are very limited in what you can achieve .
Also the questions asked often get an answer that presumes the user has rooted .

Good luck

Well, basically, there is only one way to do this properly. Everything, that looks suspicious, in that manor, like (eg.g. In my case) HRS hotels..
Not Samsung, don't need it, gone.
Or: GMail, Google app. Belongs to Android. Keeping it..
I'd say, create a backup, just in case, then try it out, but as slow as you can and not just: This, this, this.. and ohh.. I know! This can go, to!
And infact you just deleted the csc.. just be carfefull!
And if something goes wrong, who cares? You created a backup As long as you backup your stff, before mucking around, with your system files, you're pretty much fine!
I learnt to do this sort of stuff, by thinking: It's AOSP, I've got the stuff on my PC and I'm really nosy! Let's do this, this.. Oh... wiat. Wait if.. Oh, who cares!
Just be a daredevil, don't be afraid, to mod your phone. Always do a backup (NAND, or ADB) and you're fine, like I said
Happy daring!

I'm not actually deleting anything, just using the disable function in ICS. Thank you very much for the feedback though. I did pretty much do what you said, trial and error. And if something goes wrong I can just enable the app again.
Sent from my Galaxy SIII using XDA-developers incredible android app
First about touchwiz home, you also can disable it on unrooted stock, if you installed a third party launcher before like apex.
About trial and error and disabling, still be careful, if you disable something the system needs it could be your Rom gets unstable or won't boot when you reboot next time. At this case the rooted method is way better, because without you aren't able to backup or restore if something fails. Yes you can mess up more than without root, but it doesn't really matter, because you can backup your whole system.
Edit: ok, sry my fault, you indeed can't disable touchwiz home without root.

I accidentally deleted them with the app removal wizard in the storage settings, and i don't wanna screw up the ability to install updates when they arrive. :'( would a factory reset fix this?

did you disable them or uninstall them. You have to be unlocked / rooted to uninstall them. It sounds like you just disabled them. If this is the case, go to the bottom of the all app list and you will see disabled apps. A factory reset will fix it as well.

No you aren't flashing a rom you are just taking the APK's for the apps you said you uninstalled and installing them again. You said you uninstalled some apps that you want back right? so getting those apps from the Stock base Rom you will be able to reinstall them.

You can freeze/disable apps in the App Manager settings menu.
However you can't remove/uninstall apps without root permission.
