[Q] S-Health, Health Service and Galaxy S5 - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please already tried looking in various places and couldn't find anything to help me.
Got the Galaxy S5, before I wore only the S3, my problem with the S5 is that I can't update the S-Health, when I do a message pops up saying you must also update the Health Service, when I do this the S-Health crashes.
Just after returning all factory settings S-Health back to work without the update.
Use the Gear Fit and when using S3 with Fitness with Gear there was this problem, could show the data in the pedometer, exercise and heartbeats without problems.
Can someone help me? SM-G900M stok version 4.4.2

already did that, did not work, always gives the same problem.

Usually the update also requires you to update the s health service, have you tried searching for the s health service and updating manually?
Also if you are using xposed or rooted you gotta change a line in build.prop, let me know if you are and I'll search for it.

Yes, I use root and Xposed

Set these two lines since we no longer have Knox and Private Mode won't work.
Code:
ro.config.tima=0
ro.securestorage.support=false
Search for them in build.prop and change the values to those.

Rooting the phone breaks the S-Health app and the associated services, because the Knox counter is tripped.
You can use the Rom posted here and the add-on package it has in the second post and that will put the apps back on to it. Hopefully that helps.

Just confirming that I did this and it worked; updated my S Health and Health Service via Samsung Apps and it isn't crashing (so far).
@rickaoi: You can try searching up how to access and edit the build.prop file and make the changes suggested. Remember to reboot after making changes.

Hi, to those who still searching solution for that, this is the correct solution,
I have tried and it works on me.
Here is the guide on how to edit build.prop
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948558
Hope it helps.

There is also an option in wanam xposed where you can get both S-Health and private mode working, there is also a separate module available.

Try deleting all Knox apps and rewrite the build.prop.. Restart the phone and ready to actualize..

Do you by chance have Xposed framework with a multiwindow module? Try disabling the module.
I do not. All I have done is root the phone. The program was working after rooting was done however after a reboot maybe a couple hours later it started the force close.

Not sure then. Only time I've seen issues is when multiwindow Xposed hack was used.
You haven't frozen any apps/bloat in TiBu have you?
I'm rooted and mine works just fine. I use it everyday.
Started Over
I finally just used Odin and all is good:good:. Thanks everybody for trying to help.
I am having the same issue. I have Xposed installed with the Xposed Wallet hack, but not the multi- window hack. I used "Multi Window Manager" from the play store to manage my MW, so I uninstalled that to see if that was causing the problem. No luck.
Running Nottach's P-Rom, Xposed framework, Xposed Wallet Hack, the CASUAL Root-Recovery.
i have rooted, debloated, done Xposed multi window hack (not enabled) and TiBU frozen apps; S Health crashes every time. so i froze it; didnt use/need/want it before.
oddly it reminded me of the 'health' functions on a watchphone i had from 2008; it had a period/ovulation calculator. wtf.
Sorry for thread jacking -- but is there a way to have the Shealth pedometer keep running all the time?

I edited my build.prop following these instructions I found online, everything now works wonderfully!
Make sure the Xposed isn’t installed.
We need to change build.prop file inside the system partition, you can also get it done manually by using a file manager app or get a build prop editor on play store.
Once you find the build.prop file, look for the “ro.securestorage.support=true” line.
Now change the line to “ro.securestorage.support=false”.
Install the Xposed framework again.
The final step is wiping S Health app data, head to System -> App Manager -> ALL -> S Health then wipes the data. Now your Galaxy S5 should be able to runs Xposed framework and S Health simultaneously without any problems.

[SM-P905][SM-P907A] Debloating bloatware after rooting + Power On sound removal

** DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DEVELOPER. I DO THIS AS A HOBBY AND SHARE MY FINDINGS IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE FINDS THEM USEFUL. **
** THIS WORKED ON MY DEVICE BUT IT MAY NOT WORK ON YOURS. APPLY AT YOUR OWN RISK **​** These scripts are written for Kitkat. Do not use on Lollipop. **​ What is new (9/7/2014)
Version 4 provides more Samsung bloat removal, Google bloat removal, and as a bonus it can disable the power on sound.
Background
Samsung has a program running on most of its devices that pushes "Security Updates" onto the device. If you make the mistake of accepting this security update, even after you root your tablet, it will patch the hole and you will never be able to use towelroot or any other know exploit as of June 2014 to root your it again. So this must be immediately disabled after a successful rooting.
Your tablet is also equipped with Knox. One component of Knox is in the bootloader and checks the integrity of the recovery and kernel. If it sees anything has changed at that level it trips the knox flag immediately, which is irreversible. That component can almost never be touched. The second component runs when the OS is up and running and its main task is to monitor the activities of the apps in your system and shut them down if they act "suspiciously". When you are rooted and install SuperSU, this element of Knox keeps detecting the background root activities and shuts them down and gives you warnings. There is therefore a high level of risk there if you let root and knox exist concurrently. So after rooting, this second component of Knox should normally be disabled.
Finally, there are useless junk apps that most of us agree Samsung should have never shipped with the tablet, or even if they are useful we want them gone to get a better battery life.
I will call all of the above (updaters, Knox, and useles junk) bloatware. The scripts attached here can disable or enable the bloatware on your tablet, which comes in handy if you do not have Titanium Backup Pro to freeze or remove bloatware. And since someone will ask at some point, no, it won't trip your Knox!
Please read below and understand what this script disables before you use it. There may be an app on the list that you may actually want to keep.
Requirements:
Rooted Samsung Note Pro 12.2, SM-P905 international model.
Android Terminal Emulator: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
The international version (P905) is tested with baseband P905XXUANA7, build P905XXUANC3 .
The ATT version (P907A) is tested with build KOT49H.P907AUCU1AND7 (thanks to @gerard0986 for testing the script)
Makes sure you download the version that is suitable for your tablet. It may work to varying extents for other models and firmwares.You try and tell me
If you are using models other than P905 or P907A, I can make a new script for you if you provide me with a "ls -R -l" dump of your /system, or even better, if you post your firmware somewhere online.
Download link:
Attached below
Instructions:
Generally speaking, you should always have a Nandroid backup before trying anything new. Also have a flashable ROM handy. I am not responsible if you brick your device while using these scripts.
To debloat:
1- Unzip the attachment and copy debloat.sh to your phone at /sdcard
2- Run the terminal emulator and type the following:
su
cd /sdcard
sh debloat.sh​3- Choose what you want to disable, or exit.
4- If you choose not to exit, the code does its thing and reboots your tablet. The bloat is gone now
To restore the bloatware:
1- Unzip the attachment and copy enbloat.sh to your phone at /sdcard
2- Run the terminal emulator and type the following:
su
cd /sdcard
sh enbloat.sh​3- The code will warn you:
Are you sure you want to restore the security/firmware/software updaters, and Knox?
They may immediately patch your system and make the existing root methods impossible to apply.
Then you can choose what to enable, or just exit.
4- If you choose not to exit, the code does its thing and reboots your tablet. The bloat is back now
Note that while running the debloat script you may get force-closing popups. This is normal; after all you are disabling these applications!
Limitations:
If you have previously removed bloat using other means this script CANNOT recover it for you. enbloat.sh can only restore what debloat.sh has disabled.
If you have debloated using an older version of this code and you want to try a newer version of it, first use enbloat from the older version to return everything to the original configuration and then use the newer version.
When you are restoring the bloat, it is best to enable "airplane mode" so that your tablet does not try to patch your system with a security update without your knowledge. You can disable the airplane mode after you debloat again.

1- What is your firmware version?
2- Open the terminal emulator and type the following commands in there:
su
cd /system
ls -R -l > /sdcard/sysdump.txt
Then pm the file sysdump.txt which is saved on your sdcard to me.
thank you
Thank you najoor for the neat script, it executed successfully on my sm-p905 (UANE1 rom) & removed the useless software, it saves a lot of time removing them manually.
Nice work
Hope to see a version for the SM-P907 soon.

I think the only existing models are SM-P900, SM-P905, SM-P907A and SM-P905V. I don't know what T-900 is.
If you are referring to model P900 (wifi only) this code may partially work but a lot of files are different between the two models so the outcome is a partial debloat. If you want, you can make a system dump file as I suggested in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55029414&postcount=5 and send it to me so I can make a custom code for you.
Edit: It appears that T900 is the Tab pro model which is a different device. This thread is for Note pro 12.2 and since I do not own a Tab Pro I cannot answer this question. Perhaps help can be found in the XDA's Tab Pro forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-pro-12-10-8. or try these scripts as they are and see if it works for you.
Hey najoor, Im hoping that you can help me debloat my galaxy tab pro 12.2 sm-t900. I just bought it today and am shocked at the amount of bloatware thats included lol.
Basically I want everything removing that I can install through googleplay, leave the default browser.
Here is the log that you mentioned to the other guy also:-

Debloat method
I used this method but i accidentally uninstalled all google services, and google play store was apart of that, is that normal? And if it is are there ways to get it back?

Yes, that is part of bloat removal. To get Google bloat back run the enbloat.sh script and hit y when it prompts you about restoring Google bloat.

If i do the enbloat method will i have to reinstall knox ? Or will i still be able to keep it off?
When you use the enbloat.sh you only restore the stuff you choose. You don't have to restore everything. In your case you leave knox and other things out and only answer yes when it asks you if you want Google bloat to be restored.
The script is very user friendly. Just run it and follow the instruction. And just to give you peace of mind, these scripts do not delete anything from your system permanently so don't worry about breaking your system.
Any chance you could add the option to remove individual items?

Removing apps is what a debloating script does. If you want your app back just run the enbloat script. All the instruction you need is provided in the original post.

Appreciated. I wanted to debloat but did not expect the scrapbook app to be debloated. Is there any way that I can retrieve this one app, without the rest of the garbage that will return if I "enbloat".
I recall finding the app the last time and renaming from .bak to .apk and it worked.
Can you tell me where to find the apk.

The app is either in /system/app or /system/priv-app. Rename app.apk.bac and app.odex.bac if it exists to app.apk and app.odex and reboot. I don't remember exactly which app is the one you need.

[APP] Android L Launcher

Just wanted to mention that the official Android L launcher works on our Tabs
I have attached the .apk
You have to change the build.prop to get the new UI
set ro.build.version.codename to L and reboot
It works also as a system app, no FC's.
Supports 4.2.2 / 4.3 / 4.4.2
Note: You have to update/download the latest Google Search app and Google Mail may force closing
Proceed with caution, you may end up having boot-loops !

UA,
hi i would ask that you amend your post to mention this launcher requires google search to be functional.
As per your instructions I did so and the launcher does not register as system app without google search,
and on regular install call for updated google search to function.
thank you for reading.

It seems like, you screwed up inside the build.prop
Or, it only works as a system app on 4.4.2, that would be bad.

well, i used root explorer to edit build.prop, and i didnt change anything except switch REL with L...
but i guess build.prop was screwed somehow, it managed to stay on for a while before the reboot a few times (for about half a minute), but it kept giving the fc error screens for play services, mail, etc, and then restarted again.
I will try it in a few minutes!

I saw the log of gmail and came to know that the changes made in the build.prob coz of that gmail app getting fc...
Then I changed it to og value in build.prob
From then everything is working totally fine
So I don't think that we should change the codename, without changing it everything is working fine...even gmail app

Found way to disable undisable-able bloatware non root lolipop

First off I am running lolipop and have been working to find a way to disable bloatware that you don't want. I can't root as I'm on a att s5 lolipop...
finally found out how to get those apps that can't be disabled disabled.
Instructions:
1. Find the app that your wanting to dissable... let's say for example My Magazine.
by default in lolipop this app can't be disabled without root... frown face.. bad day...
2.Search for an apk file online for that app you want to disable.
And install it.
3. Here's what happens now... since you just updated the system app yourself, you now have permissions over it.
So to disable the app go to app manager and look under downloaded. You will notice that now the app that previously could not be disabled... now can be. You also have the option to Uninstaller the update... update only unfortunately but oh well.
Now you have just succusfully disabled My Magazine or what ever other system app that can't be disabled.
If you need any help just ask.

Nice idea, but sometimes it may not work. Now i have no idea as to why My Magazine worked but when installing other system apps it is bound to meet a signature conflict if the apps are the same version and completely untouched by any third party. If a signature conflict appears it will be impossible to install that system app manually.
I have only seen this phenomenon on S2 and therefore i have no idea if the same principles are embedded in the S5 but just a tip if a signature conflict ever appears while trying this method.
Anyways, good find :good:
Thank u sir.
Yes oddly enough my magazine was my first attempt and didn't even check version and had success.. noW that I see this method is possible... I'll just have to find other versions of the apps I want to dissable. I haven't had any luck finding newer versions of the apk files tho
Any thing u think might work. Modifying the apk perhaps so it may possibly install as an update?
I'm just happy to have mymagazine no longer starting up and running in the background

If you modify an apk file you will need to create your own signature when recompiling, android won't like two of the same apps (same package names) but with two different signatures and the modified apk file wont be installed.
So try your method as long as it goes. who knows, maybe you wont encounter a signature conflict.
As long as the app is disabled a signature conflict shouldn't matter tho right? Because the app is disabled and all?
I'll keep a look out. The version my magazine I'm showing now is 3.0.0
In app manager I have orion to uninstal the update so if something does happen I'll remove it
You seem to know a good bit maybe you can help me with something.
Is there a way I could take
expample.apk version 1.0 and edit it somehow and trick it and or android into thinking it's say version 1.1
This would allow me to install the same version over what I have now.. then perhaps be able to disable it..

Rooted 5.1.1 Tab 8.0 SM-T330NU. I delete all Knox apps but Security Notice persists

I have a Tab 4 8.0 (SM-T330NU) with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. I then flashed a rootable kernel from moonbutt74 (thread here.
I am getting this message:
Security Notice
Unauthorised actions have been detected. Tap here for more info.

Click to collapse
So I tap the box:
Unathorised actions have been detected. Restart your device to undo any unauthorised changes.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I got "NoBloat Free" app and used it to remove all system apps that have the word Knox in them. But I still get the Security Notice message a few minutes later. When I go to NoBloat Free app again, I see all the Knox apps there! Why do they reappear?
Hallo read here and freeze "SecurityLogAgent" with an apk like link2sd or titanium backup.

Thank you, Nudi, for your reply. As you've helpfully suggested, I've frozen SecurityLogAgent with Link2SD.

Zach, thank you for your sharing your happy experience deleting SecurityLogAgent. After a week of keeping SecurityLogAgent frozen, I'll probably do the same and delete it. The less bloatware, the better.
