Privacy Mode not functional!!! - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
first of all: really great job guys, haven't seen a proper android forum with such a huge contribution-rate and variety of member-skills/knowledge in a while so.. yay
Well here's my problem, which I really hope you can help me with:
I'm using a Note4 N910F (Snapdragon) and currently still on stock rom. I was using a rooted BOC3 and used the TML1504-Method (to flash to 5.1.1 with the proper CSC (so now I'm on N910FXXU1COH4, I'm in Germany) described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/n910f-how-to-create-odin-flashable-5-1-t3189143
I then rooted the phone using this method described by metal_ghost:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/kernel-5-1-1-selinux-enforcing-t3190799
SO after all that, the phone works actually pretty great. I used Titanium Backup in order to freeze some apps that I do not use and since then, performance and battery life ist simply great!!!
Here's an actual list of the apps that are frozen with Titanium Backup right now:

My only real problem (which is a massive hassle for me) is: I cannot use the privacy mode anymore. Everytime I'm trying to copy something into the privacy folder, it basically does nothing. Trying to start the privacy mode, it asks for my fingerprint and then just says "Private mode not activated. Try again."
So please help me out here, any idea why this isn't working at all? Is it a common mistake and is there any chance you guys can help me figure out a way to fix this? Have I done something wront in the above described process?
Thank you so much for your help. Let me know if you need any more information.
** EDIT: By the way, unfreezing ALL apps has absolutely no effect on the problem **
Cheers,

Hi,
seems to be a bug that occurs quite often. I´m in Germany too, and have the same problem. first i used a StockROM COH4 and just rooted it and Private Mode didn´t work.
I logged what happens when entering password oder whatever you use to unlock this mode. I use a password, and the log said, that empty passwords are not allowed and Private Mode quits. So somehow the password is not "registered" somehow.... you enter something, but nothing arrives at "Private Mode" to unlock...
Hope someone finds a solution

If you root then you need to install Xposed framework and Wanam Xposed app, disable secure storage, then private mode should work

Wanam Xposed ist leider nicht für Lollipop verfügbar

Ant Radio and plugins can be reinstalled in Google Play, they are free apps to download. I agree, definitely remove if not needed, but why say no to an FM radio!

Thanks for the list Joe. I'm going to have to go through this and make sure I've got all of the bloatware turned off.

Root isn't necessary to freeze/disable apps (freeze and disable are the same commands)
This link here http://galaxys5guide.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-how-to-guides/turn-off-my-magazine-on-galaxy-s5/ explains how to disable the Magazine app from the Applications Settings menu in the phone and this can be done for any system app on the phone.
This was a feature put in place around 4.3(?) because system apps could not be uninstalled without root; only updates could be uninstalled. So they added a disable feature to keep it from running in the background and it removed it from your App Drawer.

Being unrooted, you can only disable only certain apps , not all of them.

Taught me something I didn't know. I went through and looked at a few crucial system apps and noticed "Turn Off" was greyed out on a few of them which I hadn't noticed before.

you can also add smart remote, and internet/ chrome depending on what browser you like, to this list that can be completely removed... never understood why people would remove sprint zone when it is the easiest way to do things on your account. To each their own o guess... great list too as there are a few I missed on my debloating adventures.

If you are mostly stock then you need to download sdfix from the market. It is free. Or you can change the build.prop line yourself to write to sd with a file manager of your choice. Idk the build.prop line but you can google it and it will come up. I hope that is your issue and it helps.

the ANT app is actually usefull
for those of us that like to bike/run/hoke or other physical activity in which we monitor our performance or heart rate, ANT radio is a big part of that.
http://www.thisisant.com/directory/ant-radio-service
Might want to investigate this site before removing completely as it uses hardware already on your phone, after all whats the point in getting the phone with all this stuff in it, if you just not going to use it.

Honestly im not sure I can say without consequence. Sometime after I removed a bunch of these apps, I have had some issues with my phone. the screen blacks out while the buttons work. took it to a sprint store finally and they think its 'software related' but didnt really help beyond that.i am still investigating though as it could have been something else too potentially (but i havent really installed much on this phone to begin with outside of root).
i have rooted my GS5 and installed SuperSU and ConnectBot.
I would like to remove much of this bloatware and the automatic updating of certain apps.
I have no idea how to proceed with uninstalling, any help would be appreciated.

Running list of Note 4 Sprint/Samsung bloat/apps that are safe to remove

Now that root has been established and titanium is available to use, what apps are people safely removing/freezing? My last rom was on the Note 2 so a lot has changed since then for me. I assume there's a S5 list around that we can use as a base.
Edit: The list can be found on post 3.

I will update this as I go forward.
Put this list in the OP, and then just update the OP as people contribute more safe things to install - that way people don't need to scroll through the thread to find everything and it can all be in one place.
Great work on having the initiative to start this - these are always useful especially before there's a lot roms out that already take it all out/for people who like to customize their own stock.
*Probably should just change title to
Removable Sprint/Samsung Bloatware or something since you already got started on the list

Out of paranoia, I just freeze instead of uninstalling. My $. 02.
The more I play with this rom, the more I like the multitasking features like expanding windows. Also like one handed mode.
I would love to be able to replace the notification quick settings with AOSP quick settings, and get an AOSP lockscreen, and AOSP phone and contacts. in a custom Rom
---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------
Basically get all AOSP features and keeping TouchWiz innovation.
I feel that if we could get rid of any Samsung market tracking apps, this phone would be even better!

I get that. The programs I uninstalled I have uninstalled for many devices and roms in the past. I just finally purchased the pro version of Titanium so I'm starting to freeze more and add those to the list. Once I see no problems after a few weeks I'll back them up and remove them.

Something keeps throwing an emergency manager service error at me when I restart so let's freeze it.
Me too.
For those of you who have rooted your device and Titanium Backup can not access "Backup Folder" (can not uninstall apps), you can simply change the default backup location in the settings. Change it to something that is writable.
Since I wanted to write to the SD card I had to install the SDFix app to allow Titatium Backup to write to the SD Card where I wanted and it allowed me to uninstall apps from then there after.
I didn't have an sd card problem.
ES file explorer, and titanium backup recognized the external card right off the bat.
The only app that is acting weird is Dolphin browser refusing to let me change external sd download directories.

What does the Amazon Preloader actually preload?
Is the connections optimizer bloat? Or is there a bug in it, it keeps shutting off location services randomly. I get it may be trying to save battery live but when you over 30% over 50% and over 80% i don't see why i keep getting notices location info was turned off. I think it still "may" serve a purpose of optimizing lte over wifi if the wifi is a poor connection and i have a strong lte spot but not sure.

I did some research and found you can disable it from within the phone under settings/more networks/moble networks ... I went ahead and added it to the freeze list.
Yea i saw that also i was trying to avoid disabling it but it notifying me every so often it shut things down now i need to turn it back on to do something is annoying

Master list of apps safe to debloat?

For each phone that comes out, someone typically puts together a list of apps that are safe to freeze or disable... I don't like removing apps, because of the issues with taking future OTA's.
I am stock, unrooted and have no real interest in rooting this phone. I plan to keep it stock, but with Nova Prime and disabling all the junk that we don't really need in the App Manager.
Is there such a list for this phone?
I disabled all the usual suspects, but this phone has a lot of new stuff that I don't recognize...
EDIT: Based on my findings and what others post, I will update the list below of what seems to be fine to disable through the app manager. If I notice anything wonky happening, I will enable it and remove it from the list. There are things on this list that you might want to use, this is just to show you what you CAN safely disable without root or a rom.

Some suggestions for newbees...
Keep the following services running. It's not too likely you'll ever need them - but just in case.
Example: "S Voice". Most users dislike it, it's not very capable. BUT: If you wish to use the "always listening" feature of Google Now (activate by saying "Ok Google" even if Google Now is not running in the foreground of the screen is off), you'll need it because S Voice handles (or better: tries to handle) the voice recognition if the screen is off.
ant radio service (you'll need that if you wish to connect ANT+ enabled sports devices)
ant+ plugin service (same here)
drive (google drive)
galaxy apps (sometimes used for downloading better text-to-speech applications; the stock TTS is a horror)
google+ (COULD interfere with your YouTube experience if removed)
mobileprintsvc_cups (don't know exactly what it does; maybe there's more than just enabling mobile printing)
mobileprintsvc_cups_backend
phase beam
print spooler
s voice
samsung account (sames as with galaxy apps)
samsung link platform (don't know what it exactly does)
samsung link platform connectivity (same here)
samsung print service plugin (same here)
sapa monitor (same here)
tags (same here)
Updated the list in the OP. So far everything is working fine.
Google Now works from the locked lock screen, but it doesn't work with the screen turned off. I guess that is where S-Voice comes in, possibly. But S-Voice is known to create a goof bit of lag on a lot of devices, so I just turn that off as a matter of habit, as Google Now does 99% of what I need. But YMMV.
An Update of removable/freezable apps would be very nice

S5 bloatware........FROZEN pending REMOVAL (ongoing)

Hi all, I get my S5 in about a week, and I want to do things in this order.....
1) root it
2) install TiBu and freeze all the c*#p.
3) look at the possibility of flashing a cusROM to it.
Now comes the question.....
At stage 2 where I freeze the bloat, is there a list of what's safe to freeze that I can refer to?
I can recognise the generic bloat easily enough, but I wouldn't be too certain on the device specific stuff.....
Thanks in advance, Keith.
Well....I took the plunge, rooted, installed TiBu and took a look.......
This is what I've frozen so far (103 apps)....
Edit......list up to 126

There are still other apps that I am researching before freezing, and it should be said that this list WORKS FOR ME without my losing any functionality that I'll miss. If others take this list as gospel without researching first, then they are responsible if any functionality that they need is broken. Others might think "why did you freeze that?".....
Simple, there are 2 reasons.......
1) there are some aftermarket apps that do the job better than the stock versions (music and video players for example).
2) I'll never use the features they provide.
If anybody has any other freezing/removal suggestions please comment here but let everybody know what they do and/or what functionality is lost........

Galaxy J727p removable debloating list

Putting this here in hopes of helping other J7 perx users pull the most from their battery . Thanks to Ashyx we have root on our device!! Wich makes this possible. Recovery atm is still being worked on so bootloops are no fun, figured id help everyone out, took quite the number of bootloops and several hours to come up with rebooting after every single uninstall to pin point certain apks, hopefully it is useful.
First make a backup with titanium backup!!
(The list does not rob the os of many features, but if theres something here you dont want taken out then simply look over it or restore it)
68-70 apks removed with titanium backup, lets get goin.

Do not remove dictionary.apk or device maintanance.apk, as both result in bootloops. Make sure to run the sd maid app from the playstore afterwards to clean things up!
Also feel free to adventure and add to this list!!
any news my friend about more apps that can be uninstalled?
Note of advice while debloating Stock Oreo ROM for SM-J727P
All the listed apps in here just apply fine except you have to keep in place the native Email and Message apps because if you uninstall any of those the Camera app stop working properly right away https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77722457&postcount=29

I have an Oreo debloat script in my Spacesung thread. Everything without a # sign in front of it in my script is safe to remove. Additionally, it's also safe to remove Samsung experience, the theme store, and Touchwiz launcher, if you have another launcher to replace it. You can remove google videos as well, I just forgot about it. The native Samsung video player will kick in from the gallery if you do. I prefer it myself.
For those who still rock with this warrior phone.
As of this writing and latest ROM version J727PVPU7BTH1 do not uninstall the included Chrome web browser apk as it would prevent you from signing in to the Play Store account.
