[Q] Security Notice - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

So I just did the 4.3 update with root, following every step exactly, and with great success.
I then went to install safestrap, and got this strange popup on my notification bar.
Even went and froze/uninstalled Verizon's security software.
Any idea what it is?

It's known that it happens, its actually knox by samsung not Verizon if I'm not mistaken. Seen even non root users say they get them.
I got rid of them using xposed framework and the wanam xposed module.
Within the module there is a security hacks section where you turn off knox notifications. Check that and reboot they should be gone.

Thank you! I went through my ROM toolbox and froze all the Knox and security crap, rebooted, and now it works. Unfortunately, it still wont boot to safestrap.

I assume that won't happen without some changes. Glad you could add another solution as well for this problem to those not wanting to install xposed.

I have never rooted my device and I get this sometimes on 4.3. I think messing with google play services trips it for me.

I am getting this stock, hadn't messed with anything before this starting up. Is the only way to get rid of it to be rooted?

Menu dots, oh how I hate you

Do you think we will be able to make them go away at some point? Apparently you used to be able to task out the home button but they software patched the setting out.
Thoughts?

put it back by either installing the xposed framework and paulobrien's xposed mods or a custom ROM like AHRD.
problem solved.

From digging into it nottach quit the development and wanam took the project and continued it and updated it.

Yeah, this has a few more tweaks than nottach so far, and some that didn't work before (Quick Setting tile number wouldn't work on my MF3 I337) are working now. Anyone is safe to install and tweak away as long as you're on stock/tw.
EDIT: nottach xposed does have a few more than this at the moment, I was wrong. Specifcally the full battery and headset notification I've noticed so far.
I'm not sure if this is related but after installing this i noticed my mobile connection would randomly switch to h+ in settings. I rebooted and got the padlock. Booted fine still and noticed an extra battery icon. I only enabled the module and looked at the options without checking or changing anything.
Uninstalled and rebooted. No padlock, no extra icon. Goldeneye MH1 with only scrolling cache and call record add ons.
So I really want to try this out but I have a quick question. As of right now im on MF3 and I am planning on rooting my phone. The only think I would like to be able to do is to have lockscreen widgets on my device while having security enabled such as a pattern lock or password. Will this give me the option to do just that?

The extra icon does sound like something that a tweak/app like this can be responsible for.
Whether it's a one-time glitch or a bug that will recur, who knows.

Can you run more than one module that offer similar functionality? Such as wannam and nottach, without causing problems? Which modules takes precedence?

I tried doing that specifically and did have some issues. Either enable the same tweaks in both or don't run both.

3minit isn't much of an option since you have to flash the framework and we can't through recovery (I think there is an app to flash without recovery, but it's risky business.)

I know it's not supposed to work. I wasn't expecting it to work. But I tried it anyways.
Slim Bean AOSP 4.3 ROM + Xposed + Wanam all seemed to install fine.
But a reboot or two later, before even selecting any option changes, ended up getting to where it refused to boot into the OS. Even after a factory reset.
Don't jump me, I know it wasn't *supposed* to work.
Guess I just confirmed that for the rest of the 4.3 AOSP guys?

[Q] Jelly bomb question

I installed jelly bomb last night and everything works super amazing! Thank you josh beach!! I just have one problem, when I turn my phone off then back on I get a little message on top saying "kernel is not seandroid enforcing", "set warranty bit: kernel". I just would like to know if that's normal? If not, what can I do to fix this? It's my first android phone so an explanation in depth would be preferred please. Thanks
I experience this as well. It is nothing to worry about. Getting rid of it would be nice though.

Anything I'm missing?

If you're not satisfied with the look and feel, want some more customization, then make sure to set up Xposed Installer and Wanam Xposed.
(From a post I made in the JellyBomb thread)
Learning how to use the Xposed Installer and Wanam Exposed is essential in customizing JellyBomb Domination, once set up all sorts of customization options become available.
For anyone who wants to change the look and feel of, for example; Notifications Panel "background" or add a "Call Recording button" to the Phone app...
1. Run your Xposed Installer, select Framework and Install/Update. Reboot.
2. Ensure that Wanam Xposed is checked in the Xposed Installer "Modules" tab.
3. Run Wanam Xposed and start customizing!
There are all sorts of Xposed modules available for download if you need something Wanam Xposed doesn't offer.
The Battery Icon can be customized several ways with these Mods, as well as through options available in Wanam Xposed.
Exposed is the shizz mos def
Also I have that same message on my phone and I don't believe it is a problem

Optimizing apps

Every time i reboot i get the "android is updating, optimizing apps" screen. Is this an effect of the xposed framework and is it necessary that occurs every time i reboot? Its kinda starting to get annoying. Thanks in advance for the replies.

No that's not needed everytime you reboot. Xposed itself shouldn't be doing it. Are you running any mods that are wiping Dalvic cache on every reboot?
Sent from my unknown using Tapatalk
Im running the wanam module. Is that what's causing it? It only optimizes 62 apps on startup. When i use safestrap to wipe dalvik it then optimizes 250+apps.

Well I can't be certain really. Maybe it'd be worth disabling whatever modules you are running and rebooting to see what happens. I'd try doing that then possibly going into SS and clearing all caches again. Reboot once more with modules disabled and see. At least then you may be able to rule xposed out. I haven't used wanam in a while so I don't know it there's an option that describes what you're going through.

One of the modified Wallet hacks did that to my phone. The APK was deodexed so it triggered the "android is updating" every boot IIRC.

[TUTORIAL] How to install Xposed on the T-Mobile V10

Since several people have asked about this in my thread asking about plugins, I thought I'd put together a quick tutorial on how to get Xposed working on a ROOTED T-Mobile V10.
Requirements:
A ROOTED T-Mobile LG V10 running TWRP - Check out this thread for instructions on flashing TWRP and Root (Credit KAsp3rd)
Xposed V75 sdk22 arm64 - Link Courtesy mikeyinid
Xposed Installer 3.0 Alpha 4 - Link Courtesy Kenyonj
Known Issues:
Second Screen Force Closes any time a call is made or received
Second Screen Quick Contacts Widget doesn't work
Please report any others
Process:
OEM unlock, flash TWRP, Flash root
MAKE A BACKUP IN TWRP!!! (Very important. Xposed Framework will break things, and you may decide it's best to go back to stock for now.)
Copy the two files downloaded above onto the phone
Flash Xposed V75 sdk22 arm64 zip file in TWRP
Install Xposed Installer 3.0 Alpha 4 apk with a file manager
Run Xposed app, download plugins
Recommended Plugins:
Gravity Box - Change battery icons, hide ongoing notifications, change notification bar colors, change clock, etc. Many options do not work however. (Credit Airtioteclint)
Please recommend any that work well for you!
What not to try:
DPI Change - Will break systemui (Credit Warrior1975
Advanced power menu options in Gravitybox. We have a very custom poweroff menu, Gravitybox doesn't change anything on it.
Please let me know if anything you try breaks something
Thanks to KAsp3rd, Mikeyinid, Kenyonj, Airtioteclint, Warrior1975
So, just having xposed installed will break secondscreen?

Yes, for calls and the contacts widget. all other functions work fine. Logs have been emailed to the developer, hopefully there will be an official better working release of the framework soon.

Wi-Fi calling works as long as you have a LTE connection. It is sort of broken with Xposed installed.
I always have it enabled, so that could explain why it worked for me.

Yup, I didn't notice either until someone asked me to test it. It's a known issue on the G4 as well.
Does anyone use PowerNap? The other modules I've used seem to work fine but PowerNap seems to make it go into such a deep sleep that I have to do a battery pull. I'm sure I have to find some apps to whitelist to stop it from happening but not sure which.
Big thanks for this! I've been having fun all day trying out various Xposed modules. I have my phone exactly how I want it now (for now lol)
Was anyone able to get Gravity Box to work? I get "GravityBox system framework not responding. Exiting."
GB works fine for me. Are you sure you are using the latest lollipop version and have v75 arm64 of xposed installed?
I use GB to center the clock, enable quick pin unlock, and to enable the circle battery
Looks like the second screen issue has been resolved. I installed the ZIP package and I have not seen any issues for the past hour I have been testing.
