Is it safe to run the updates for the security policies after root? or should I continue dismissing the notifications? If it's not safe to do so, is there a way to now disable those notifications after root?
I used titanium backup and just froze it

I never disabled it, took the updates, and was able to root this morning. Don't think it affects root.
I'm thinking overall security policies may be a good thing to update, just not the OTA's.

I've heard conflicting stories. Right now I'm trying to freeze the security policies app just so I don't receive updates but can't figure out how to. Anybody chime in to help out.

I didn't understand how to either, but in Titanium Backup, go under the Backup/Restore tab, and scroll down to "Security policy updates". Tap that and then you'll be given the option to freeze it. You need the pro version of Titanium, though...which is unfortunate. I'm not sure how much I'll actually use Titanium so spending $6 on it just for this is a bit of a reach.

Look at it this way. You can use Titanium Pro on multiple devices. I think that I had it for my first Galaxy S2, used it for S3, S4, now S5. Definitely got $6 out of it.

Android Tuner (including free) can freeze apps too. I found this out last year after buying TiBu.
Actually, I'm finding that Titanium is actually unable to freeze apps on my S5. When I try any, it sits for a while and a toast message says it's frozen, but it's not. Looking at logcat I suspect it may be because I switched to the ART runtime. Android tuner is working though.

So anyone know how to get around Verizon's root check. I get the following message when trying to watch stuff we've bought using their media manager app.

Usually you rename the superuser.apk file to something else, like superuser.bk, but this also disables superuser. It would be something you switch every time you want to use the app, then switch back when you're done. Not sure if this works for that Verizon app, but it's how people have gotten around root checks before.

It's certainly one solution, but most Superuser apps have a temporary unroot feature that will take care of this for you, which can be a lot safer than monkeying around with your APKs if you don't know what you're doing. There are also some good apps out there that can hide an active root, although it's been some time since I've had to use them.

I'll have to look into that too when I get home. Thanks.
I was wondering if there is a list anywhere of the apps that would be safe to freeze now that we have root. I froze a few things, but figured I wouldn't freeze anything I wasn't sure of.
Thanks in advance!
i am also interested in this. I just froze some of this verizon bloatware before i attempt to uninstall it <root>
Looks like theyre frozen and not in my app drawer anymore so im just gonna leave it like this until i fill up my puny 16gb storage.

There's a thread for this. Search for titanium backup in this section.
I've been trying to search all day and keep getting an error saying it is not available. If anyone knows where it is I'd appreciate an assist.

Well seems it's titanium backups with data restore causing the problem. If I uninstall the entire app and reinstall without data restore everything is fine. Guess data restore on titanium is a no go

Yep, not sure if it's titanium doing itself or just the note 3. I think it's titanium personally. Maybe I'll see if the dev can look into the matter. Sucks redoing all my nova settings etc :/

I am new to android with the Galaxy Note 3 on AT&T and this prevention information notification started popping up yesterday.
I am not using a rooted device (yet) and all apps have been downloaded from the Play Store.
Any advice to figure out what the offending app is or how to get rid of the notification would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!!

I am getting a "Prevention Information" popup after running a root app, how do I disable it?
From terminal emulator or adb shell as root, run; pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid
Or freeze the Knox apps with Titanium Backup.

There have been a number of reports of this error occurring within the past day or so (google search reveals a number of people with this issue) for people with only stock apps and apps from the Play store on unrooted devices...
Samsung's documentation for knox describes a notification called "Prevention Information", which would have a shortcut to the app manager to remove the offending app, but that guide is for a system where knox is in use with a knox container, though....
What happens if you click OK instead of Cancel...? Anything? I wonder if that will get you to the app manager that the samsung documentation mentions.

This requires root - this this is occurring on unrooted phone, running only apps from play store.
I got the error once, but I was rooted and doing something that I'm sure looked sketchy to Knox, so I don't think that one was inappropriate.
Rooting my phone and applying a custom rom has fixed all my issues getting rid of all that Knox crap. So problem solved for me anyway

Thanks DrAzzy,
So if I click Ok it brings up a list of all my apps but it doesn't show (or even hint) at which is the offending app.
What I have done so far is:
Factory Reset my phone
Went to google play and reinstalled all my downloaded apps
within an hour the notification came back
factory reset my phone
started installing 1 by 1 apps
I haven't recieved the notification as of yet .....
RE: Knox
As far as I can tell Knox is not on my phone. I know Samsung was hyping up knox in their Note3 keynote but I cant find it ... It must be something running in the background.
Knox is under Settings>General>Security>Device Administrators. But mine is unchecked and still got same message. btw, running stock
So I reset to default and then started reinstalling apps one by one.
The offending app turned out to be Angry Birds Star Wars 2 Free yea i know its angry birds but uninstalled that and the prevention information has not returned since.
Started to do this on my device also as of earlier today. Not rooted and all programs were downloaded from Playstore. Knox is not even checked under security administrators.
A temp fix for you guys.

I have this problem on an unrooted galaxy note 3 and I do have angry birds starwars 2 installed. I checked the permissions in addon detector and angry birds starwars 2 requests access to camera. Suspicious or what!
UNINSTALLED!
---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------
just to confirm it isn't angry birds star wars 2. When I reconnected to wifi, the message came back. Oh well...
Now that I'm rooted, I've gotten rid of the Sprint and HTC boat, but I'm still having a problem getting rid of the Google play crap.... Any suggestions ?

Don't use android? Seriously Google Play and the services are what make the OS work.
Right, keep, music, and plus and having multiple instances of the framework are what makes the phone work.... I suppose android system is just there to drain the power, not for any functional reason

If you have root access you should really have Titanium Backup Pro. And if you don't feel comfortable uninstalling certain programs you can freeze them. Does the same thing but instead of uninstalling the program it just hides it from the system as if its not there, and you can always unfreeze it down the road if it causes you problems.
Or flash an AOSP ROM, but you lose Sense. +1 to above for using Titanium Backup. If you're feeling gutsy, you could use a file explorer with root privileges and dive into /system/app, but regardless, you should be careful. Oftentimes, OEM ROMs have Google-specific components actively built into the framework, so take care not to remove anything that kills your phone.
Hello all,
Back in KitKat (I think), google's default app for phone/contacts had the option to only display contacts with numbers. (great idea!)
For reasons beyond anything I can imagine, they stupidly removed this feature. (Horribly stupid idea...sigh)
Is it possible to run the older phone app/contacts app on newer roms? 7.0?
I like the stock app. Fantastic app, excepting for the horrible stupid decision to break needed functionality by Google.
Thoughts? Options? Ideas?
Thanks!
Just a thought you could find the apk from KitKat and then install that. If it works. Use something like titanium backup and long press on the app from within TB and select remove market link. This should prevent the app from auto updating. Haven't tried it but i agree. The contact with phone numbers only was great.
