Is your phone normally booting up with no issues or is it booting up in safe-mode?
Have you tried doing a factory reset? What version S 4 do you have? Are you rooted? Custom ROM?

Rooted Galaxy S4 i337 ATT
Thanks
Rooted Galaxy S4 i337 ATT
I had the same problem and did a factory reset that temporarily solved the problem but that is definitely not the solution.
The problem is the third party software that could be any app (for me was"Photoid Pro")
The Solution: When it happen for the first time (you must reboot after each App installation and if you are prompted to select a Launcher) immediately delete the app you just installed and reboot again, I am sure you will be back to your default launcher.
If already have the problem you should install "Launcher Switcher" from "google play" open and if you see anything beside your launchers Delete them and that would set you back to default launcher.
Install One App at a time so you know the culprit.

That would kind of make sense. So you're all straight now after figuring this out I assume?

Phone Lags after root and Greenify Problem

I just rooted my N910C and i noticed it lags? i try to install Greenify and also it lags sometimes it wont even ask for SuperSU access and i tried turning off the power saving and even if its off the icon on status bar is still there. another thing is that when i install greenify i can't un install it normally i tried on google store and the only option is Deactivate. i tried uninstalling it via "Drag icon and drag to the trash can icon" and it says that i need to disable the administrator access and i tried unchecking it but it lags. so what i did was uninstall it via titanium back up and it worked. but still my phone lags any suggestion?
another problem is that my computer does not detect my phone anymore? but when i plug it in it charges and the "windows notification sound" knowing that it detects a device being plugged but i cant see it on my computer so i cant access the Internal storage
update*
so i tried inserting my phone to another PC to make sure and the drivers installs but when installing the MTP device it fails
please i need help i know the root process triggered knox so warranty is already voided

Mine too.. I rooted my stock rom, noticed lag on almost everything, typing, browsing, opening apps, settings... no idea why...then i installed custom rom..!

i tried paring a bluetooth from my Nvidia Shield and it even lags.. the notification with the Pin code is Soooooo delay so i cant pair properly example on my shield i tried to pair the Note 4 shield will show a pairing confirmation with pin code and on the tablet it wont until around 1minute
edit..
is it safe to just unroot the phone using SuperSU Full unroot method?

in that case, download the correct firmware from sammobile.com, i.e. according to your region / carrier.

I don't know if your Note 4 version is the same with mine (Mine is N910H), mine is rooted + greenify but I experience a little to no lag.
Bluetooth pairing in an instant.
Apps open in an instant.
Buttons response in also quick.
Perhaps background process or some rogue apps do the lag?

i just found out that the culprit was xposed framework everytime i install it my phone starts to lag mine was N910C

Gee really?

Yes iv'e tried slimming down to know the problem so what i did was
1) flash stock firmware (status ok)
2) root my device (status ok)
3) install greenify, six axis & some adblocker (status ok)
4) install xposed (status ok)
5) install xposed binaries and update (status phone lags)
6) uninstall xpoesed binaries amd updates (status ok)

Just do a search here; S-health app and Private mode interferes with xposed (or is it the other way around?) There are some settings you can change (disable secure storage in build.prop) that will get rid of the lag caused by xposed.

I concur that it is the exposed framework that is the culprit. It doesn't work well on samsung kitkat phones but only CM and AOSP. It will even ruin your private mode! So as for convinience I don't install it on Sammy phones

[ROOT] (Updated) Official Stock Nougat 7.0 (100% Working) - All Exynos Models

ROOT for Official Stock Nougat 7.0 (100% Working) - All Exynos Models (Tested it on SM-G930F/D SM-G935F/D)​
By rooting you may lose some and gain some. Be careful in what you are doing.
Read each and every step mentioned in this post carefully and then start working on Root.​
If you've any fear about the root. Please stop it here and close the window :angel:
Desclaimer:
[*]This is working on Exynos (SM-G930F) S7 Flat and (SM-G935F) S7 Edge models! (Should also work on all the Exynos Models)
[*]This will erase your phone so be sure to backup anything you need
[*]Your warranty is VOID Knox flags 0x1 or 0x500
[*]I'm not responsible for damage to your mobile or loss of warranty!
Things that may not work:
No official OTA updates (Of-course)
All Knox Based Apps (Samsung Pass, Secure Folder, Samsung Pay, S Health)
But you can get the above working - We have some ways to make them work even after root. Please Check that after the root process below
Here are the instructions to root your Nougat:
Instructions are similar to Marshmallow. Main thing to note here is - Use the latest supersu build.
Prerequisite:
Samsung Drivers
ODIN
SR2-SuperSU-v2.79 and above versions.
twrp-3.0.2-4
Instructions:
Enable OEM unlock & Debugging Mode in the Developer Options
Reboot your device into Download mode. To do this, hold the [Volume Down] + [Home] buttons for a while.
Once you reach the Download mode warning screen, press [Volume Up] to continue.
Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot and disable Auto-Reboot and click on "Start" by connecting your phone.
When its done flashing, Hold [Volume Down] + [Home] + [Power] to get out of Download mode and immediately swap to [Volume Up] when the screen blanks.
If you don't see TWRP boot splash, try again.
At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
By swiping right, you will trigger dm-verity, and if you don't follow the next step you will be unable to boot!
If you are going to root your device and follow the rest of these steps, then it is safe to swipe right and enable modifications.
If you want to use Systemless DevBase, then do not swipe. Keep it as read only.
Go to Wipe and click on format data. Type "yes" and it will format.
Now go back to home and click on "Reboot" then click on "Recovery" Option.
Now Transfer the above downloaded filed into your Phone or Memory Card or OTG Pendrive.
Now again click on Install and flash the Super SU. Only the latest Super SU is working fine with no issues. Do not use the old versions.
You can now click on reboot > system
It will take about 5 Min and boot. Done. You've got the Nougat rooted.
After the fresh boot, you will setup everything. Once you are in, you can observe a notification.
This is a security notification - unauthorised actions have been detected. Restart your device to undo any unauthorised changes
Disable the notification permissions in settings and restart your device by using power button.
Do not restart it by using the option mentioned in that window!
Now go into supersu app. A popup will open to disable the Knox. click on OK. It will take some time to disable it. If its taking more than 5 min and failed to disable, then restart the mobile again and do the same step. it will work now.
Note: You can ignore the last step, If you want to use KNOX - do not disable it.
How to Disable the notification permissions:
Slightly move the notification to the right. You can see a 'settings icon'. Click on that and you'll be taken to notification permissions.
If you see "Allo notifications", disable it.
or
Go to Settings > Applications > Click on 3 dot menu on the right corner and select "Show system Apps". Find "SecurityLogAgent" and open it.
If you dont see that option to disable the notifications:
Go to settings > device maintainance > Device Security > Click on scan device once and close the settings.
Open the supersu app and you may see the popup to disable KNOX. click on OK. (If you've already done this, just restart your mobile)
Restart the device. Done.
If you the see the notification again, install titanium Backup app and Disable/Freeze - SecurityLogAgent & SharedDeviceKeyguard.
Restart your mobile.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've Mentioned that some of the things may not work. But, You can make it work if you follow some of the other threads posted for our S7.
Here is the list of all the different threads about Root:
1. If you dont need anything except root : Follow the above root process and you are done.
OTA Updates & Knox based Samsung Apps (S Pay, S Health, Secure Folder & S Pass) do not work.
2. If you want to tweak your device with Mods & Apps:
This includes Custom Kernel Installation, Some Mods/Apps -
Custom Kernels for Nougat:
Super Kernel

TGP Kernel
Mods & Apps:
UniMod script

3. If you want root with most of the things working: Use this method only after flashing the Official firmware through odin.
Use knox and Samsung pay with root

Nougat w/ working Samsung Pay STEP BY STEP Guide
Samsung Pass and OTA updates May/do not work here.
4. If you want root with OTA updates and some other things:

Special Note:
Please do not use the old versions of supersu on Nougat. You'll have some problems with the root. You may get the root but some of the things may not work well.
Camera doesnt work, flash light doesnt work, wifi problem, delay in response, keyboard doesn't work properly, App closure etc etc.
So, use SR2-SuperSU-v2.79-SR2-20170103215521 and above versions for better results.
Phsuperuser and magisk will also work but, you may have to use custom kernels.
Did you brick your device ?
Then flash the official firmware using ODIN. Download the official stock firmware from sammobile.com or by using this tool
Hit Thanks if it helps :fingers-crossed:
have a good day:good:

or

Some of the members are unable to see this option. Members who have upgraded directly from Marshmallow to Nougat are having this issue. You cannot change the notification permissions for system Apps. And for those who have upgraded from Beta, they have the option to disable. not sure why.
If you dont see that option to disable the notifications:
Go to settings > device maintainance > Device Security > Click on scan device once and close the settings.

We have some MODs available to remove knox and bloatware for Marshmallow and Beta Nougat. I did not test any mods on this official Nougat.
May be after sometime this procedure will get easy.
Hope that helps :good:

Read on TWRP thread that the latest super su does not require flashing of no verify zip file as it does the job? Is that true?

But now I can't log in on Snapchat

I think it's your first time to root your phone.
Snapchat will not work on Rooted devices. Its blocking the user to login on rooted devices.
But, we have many threads in XDA on how to use snapchat despite the root. You should takeout some time to search on google
Here is a thread by @TheGejr - Snapchat on rooted devices without Xposed (Nougat)
Another Thread : Snapchat and Root
Or you can use the following steps:
unroot your phone and Restart : Open Supersu > go into settings > go to 'Clenaup' Category > click on "Full unroot". It will remove the root.
Login to your snapchat.
Root the phone by super su again.
You can use the snapchat again.
Hope that helps

Yeah Right. Its not needed (as per the comments in that thread).
I have observed the same in MM as well.
In most of the rooting method threads, everyone recommended to flash the no-verify zip. So, I did the same.
Will see if it works that way with the new supersu.
May be you can try that when you get the nougat update

In the new official Nougat, S Health app is checking the KNOX flags due to updated security policy. If your knox tripped, then it wont work.
I've tried removing the knox, Removed S Health app and installed it as user app. Nothing worked.
This is working in custom ROMs. Anyway you want to root the official stock, so using custom roms is almost the same. Try them instead of this

I didn't try it myself but maybe it will work:
Just delete S Health completely from system/app and get an older version (e.g. 4.8) from apkmirror. Install that apk as a regular user app and let it update. Some people claim that this method worked for them.

Root dont work
Hi i have s7 with nougat official and I root the phone is ok I have root all good but the root apps don't work properly they ask for permission every 10 sec or crash or they tell my i don't have root the root futures of apps don't work properly
(Lucky Packer crash . Game killer after premison don't work or they tell my my phone isn't root .app2sd error on root)

just install the TWRP another kernel for example, TGP Kernel then lucky works

System UI Permacrashed (systemui tuner)

I screwed up pretty bad. Every since i started using System UI tuner (the app) any changes to the phone like changing resolution and stuff would cause SystemUI to close down and the phone had to be restarted, but it was fine because it worked after the restart. Earlier today i put it into maximum power saving mode and it crashed the same way but every time i restart it shows the "SystemUI has closed" right as the phone boots up and i have a black screen and i can only turn off or restart.
The creator of the tuner app had 3 solutions to this problem. a simple restart , which didnt work
The second was solution was to input something using the adb but adb never connects because Maximum power saving mode disables Usb Debugging (fml..)
And the third one was to send him some file on ur phone and he'd send u back a fixed one but thats prob not gonna work cause i cant usb transfer anything onto it anyways.
I tried backing up using TWRP , wiping everything and restoring but the same issue happens
Is there anything i can do other than a complete wipe? Like is there maybe any way to uninstall or remove the SystemUI tuner with TWRP. or maybe put myself out of maximum power saving mode or something like that? Please help..

From twrp you should be able to navigate to data/app and delete the app from there. Long shot but might worth the try.

Use Safe Mode to uninstall SystemUI Tuner
Same thing happened to me on S8+
It would go straight to a black desktop and I could pull down notifications and use the nav keys at the bottom but couldn't do anything else.
Eventually I noticed the little message come up like you mentioned and realized it was related to SystemUI Tuner so I started in Safe Mode and uninstalled the app.
Once uninstalled the issue went away. I ended up reinstalling and use SystemUI Tuner but I am more careful and I know what to do if that happens again. Maybe if Samsung didn't remove so much and lock down the rest we wouldn't have to do this just to use a built in android feature.

have you found a solution to your problem? the same thing just happened to me today :crying:

Thanks but non of those works since adb is disabled in ultra power saving mode

Go to TWRP and restore from your backup
Flash a new ROm, or the stock ROM
Go to TWRP, open a shell and run the same command as adb.

Factory reset will fix it too. Don't use systemui turner without adb on its dangerous

[HELP] Force close with substratum, unusable phone

So my father decided to update with substratum enabled and now we get SystemUI FC every time and can't use the phone.
No rooted, no custom recovery, no nothing. Is there any way of removing the overlays without wiping data?
Thanks.

You can try going to Safe Mode:
1. Reboot your device
2. Hold down the Volume Down key while booting up
3. You are now in Safe Mode
4. Go into Settings -> Apps, then find the overlay you think is messing up and uninstall

I'm afraid it makes no difference

OK, I read this 'tutorial' here on XDA. Have not tried myself but see if it helps. If it works please report back. It would be nice to known for future reference:
How to recover if the above doesn't work? (Credits to Evozi)
You will have to boot up in Safe Mode (comes default on every device)
1. Turn on screen and press power button. It will show "Shutdown", "Restart", "Emergency Mode"
2. Turn on "Emergency Mode", keep spam the checkbox so you can tick the checkbox to proceed the agreement. (phone is super lagging)
3. While you are in emergency mode, you have very limited access. Open any system app and go to recent task list.
4. Long press the app task, press the info icon and app detail page will appear.
5. Hit the back button and it will show your whole app list.
6. Find your overlay and remove all its storage and phone permissions.
7. Deactivate Emergency Mode and now you are back to TouchWiz.
8. Uninstall the overlay app.

Can't check the agreement with th fc window all the time, any trick for that?
