Unrecognizable apps and status messages - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently got a Tmobile Note 3 that I unlocked via unlock code and since first boot, I've noticed few things that I don't understand or seen on any other phone.
1) There are a number of apps that are there that I don't believe come with stock phone and I would like to know if its OK to remove/disable them. Also would like to know what they do?
VoLTE Configuration Menu
SSConfig
[/LIST
2) Secondly, everytime I boot or restart the phone, phone shows all the different commands that it is running. I'm sure there is setting somewhere to disable that but I don't see it in Dev Tools.
Thanks

SS config I have no clue, assume it's to do with building configs/development etc
The different commands that the phone is running at boot up must be due to the unlock (bootloader?) - a reflash of stock firmware may fix this

It's difficult to take the picture of the commands that are running as they only show up for a brief second or so but I will give it a try later today.
Apart from above mentioned apps, there is another app called "Samsung Keystring". Is it OK to delete/disable these apps?

I think the keystring is for service modes, like connecting to networks etc, can't really see to much about it though. I wouldn't delete it just incase

Phone stutters and screen flashes upon an app update

Hi.
This is my first post, so, please, tell me if I'm doing something wrong.
I hoped that somebody could assist me with an issue. When an update is happening in the background the app in use will briefly blink, as if it was minimised and restored. It happenswhen the "Internal storage left" message pops up. Though it happens really quickly, some activities become impossible. For example, a YouTube video will restart if an app updates, and if few apps are updating it will just keep restarting the video. A game will blink and pause.
I'm using a stock ROM, even though it's rooted. I can't remember having this issue a month ago, but can't find what could possible cause this. Hope to hear some ideas for solution.
Many thanks in advance.

What I discovered today (first day with S4) is that if you freeze Knox, the open lock and "custom" caption - which appear after rooting - on the boot screen disappear. I have no idea what Knox is for.... I can't believe how much bloat there is on this phone!

More than likely, the custom lock on your screen is appearing or disappearing randomly and has nothing to do with KNOX. It probably just changed because you did 'something" to your phone. SysScope is the process that determines the result of the scan to be custom or official. Your phone might stay the way it is now, or it might revert back at some point to custom. Search for sysscope if you want to learn more about it.

Thanks. I was just reading about knox. Loads of info out there OP, in case you're interested. It seemed like a pretty consistent response. - freeze the two knox apps and the lock disappears, unfreeze and the lock reappears. I'll have a look at SysScope....
Interesting ...I'll have to check it out..I miss my s2..seems so complicated now with rooting lol..locked bootloader,knox..so much steps

[Q] Not able to rescan media

Hey guys,
I've been searching around, but I can't find a clearcut fix, so maybe someone here has some insight. Recently I started noticing that random pictures started dissapearing from my gallery, seemingly (but not 100% sure) after the kitkat update on my Note 3. Before I also saw some pics dissapear (a couple I downloaded) but I didn't put much thought into it.
Now, after the update, I was sarting to notice more pictures have dissapeared. The thing is, if I go into whatsapp, select a convo and click on media I actually see the pictures and all, but in the gallery in the "whatsapp images", and in "all images" album they are nowhere to be found. I tried for a solution on google, but to no avail except rescanning the media. Usually that would be taking the sd card out and put it back in to rescan the card, but it refuses. The weird thing is that every app in the store that deals with rescans imediatly Force closes when starting the scan. I mean all of them, and I installed about 10. I have no cfw's or roms running so I can't figure out what the issue is.
Obviously I tried resetting, rebooting and all the usual stuffs.
ANy help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dylan

[HELP] Disable S-VIEW

Hi fellow devs nd members of xda,
I have got problems with my Galaxy S4.. The sview is flashing throughout my screen without any S-Cover or any magnetic material. This happens randomly.. So I need to disable the s-view service and associated files.
I have tried the following :
1. Disable s-view from system settings
2. Renamed and changed permission for system/app/sview service.apk
I heard from another developer to change the value from OPEN to CLOSE in hall_detect file located at sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_key. But I can't write into the file or rename the file.. The only thing I can do is change the permissions, but that doesn't help..
Does anyone have any idea how this sview works. It's become annoying when I play movies or games on my S4..
Many thanks
AJ

After KitKat update I guess! Didn't had this problem in JB. Deleted SecView apk and seems to be fine so far though ?

If you're rooted you could try the xposed modules, there's one in there that disables S-View.
I will edit this post if I find the specifics.

Install Xposed from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Install my module http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/Xposed/DisableSView.apk
It's as close as you can get without disabling the sensor. I didn't hook into the phone so that might still show the S-View window, but that's no biggie. Also, the Smart Stay icon disappears, but hey, that can be a plus

First Thanks for uploading your files but sadly I think I broke something because I geting only a black screen with statusbar at the top even when I paste in your files back in and this happens since I accidentally delete my. (before that black screen with time, date and so on)
I found no process or app or autostart that contains "s view" or something like that. How did find it and how was it named ?

You saved my ass, thanks for that. After getting root and so on I tried to follow your instructions. The App was there and I stopped it but needed only one tap (clicked once ->Force Stop) and then stick it on the phone holder but again the S View Cover Screen comes on (with time/date and status bar). I have no clue what to do now because I can't deactivate the app even.
EDIT: When I deactivate the app per third party app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SystemCleanup.Inteks.org) the black screen comes on without time and date. So there is any other process that start when a magnet comes close to the S4 ?

A magnet triggers that stupid sview.
Use any custom rom that doesnot have sview. It shall get solved.

Yes, of course the holder has magnets too so yeah I know its triggering that view but I thought that view could be fully disabled without a custom rom.
A custom rom is no solve for me right now.
The Question would be how the S View got removed in the roms then I could do the same for my stock rom.
Found out that the Hall Sensor triggers that but found nothing to disable or something like that.

The reactivation lock if on. Won't let anything to be flashed via Odin or anything else in download mode, not even samsung service center people could do it (so samsung strictly asks you to disable the lock if you are giving it for repair to them). Now in case you have it on and somehow end up softbricking your phone there won't be any way to fix it. That's why this tutorial could be a lifesaver for those facing such problems

Tested this on VZW 6 edge and it doesnt work, Samsung wont enable add new account.

But how far as I understand lock is in off position by default from factory, shop etc? And what's the point at all to put on or at all to make that future if even Samsung recommend to leave in off position.

Yes it's off by default. Some people turn it on so in case of theft or loss of mobile the other person won't be able to write new rom over it or anything like that. Reactivation lock + fingerprint screen lock make a formidable combination for those wanting protection of data against theft or loss.
