Due to a new policy, after rooting the Galaxy S phones, you can't use Samsung Health and some other apps anymore.
Here is an easy way to "bypass" this policy.
1. You need a file explorer with root acces to / (Root Explorer, ES File Explorer etc)
2. Open "/system"
3. Open "build.prop"
4. Find line "ro.config.tima=1"
5. Change the value from 1 to 0
6. Reboot your phone
7. Done :fingers-crossed:
the system does not allow me to save the file after i change the value? please help.

This is for those who wanted to have this function in their beast and yet no Note 5 rom is availble for their device , well smile..here you go
:good:Try at your own risk. I wont go in detail like step by step or what root explorer to use. You will have to figure it out. Im not trying to be mean but you will have to learn it =P
Your device must be rooted.
Download any rom that is made for Note 5 , custom or stock (make sure you ask for permission from the creator) , extract the folder "system/app/applicationspermissions"
and copy the folder (doesnt matter if is odex or deodexed) then paste it to your system/app/ and set the permission to the copied folder and the apk itself.
Then add the code below into your others.xml in you csc folder.
Code:
<!-- Smart Manager -->
<CscFeature_SmartManager_ConfigDashboard>dual_dashboard</CscFeature_SmartManager_ConfigDashboard>
<CscFeature_SmartManager_DisableAntiMalware>true </CscFeature_SmartManager_DisableAntiMalware>
<CscFeature_SmartManager_ConfigSubFeatures>roguepopup|autoclean|autorestart</CscFeature_SmartManager_ConfigSubFeatures>
Save , reboot and voila.
Bug

One of the main drawbacks of 5.1.1 update on Yureka was that the stock dialer had been replaced by Truecaller dialer. I, for one, liked the original dialer a lot. It had dynamic speed dial tiles which changed according to how much you called, which is probably one of the best features. Also, there's privacy issues associated with Truecaller dialer, if you're into that sort of thing.
To change the dialer, we'll simply replace the phone UI components with blisspop components. Blisspop has stock Android dialer.
Also, this is my first guide, so if mods think this is not in appropriate section, please move it to proper section.
Prerequisites:
1. You should have Yureka [duh]. I don't know if this works on Yureka+. Maybe someone can test & tell me so that I can update this guide.
2. You should have write access to the root partition of your phone.
What is root partition you ask? Yureka has Internal memory [Sdcard0], External memory card [Sdcard1] & a third partition, root partition[/].
You can access this partition using any reputed file manager such as ES file Explorer, Solid Explorer, Root Explorer etc.
However ES, Solid etc. had problem writing files in my phone. I therefore went with Root Explorer which works flawlessly.
From hereon, I'll consider you are using Root Explorer. However using any other file manger will be similar.
The only caveat in using Root Explorer is that writing permission requires root access.
Steps:
1. Open Root Explorer. Tap "Mount R/W". Grant it the superuser permission when it asks. This puts the Root explorer in Write mode for root partition & we can now write or over-write files which we want.
2. Download the zip file from here & extract it somewhere on you phone.
3. In root partition [the one with symbol "/"], go to system-->app and replace or overwrite the InCallUINext folder with the folder which you have downloaded from the zip file. Make sure you have backed up the original folder which was previously present i.e copy it somewhere on phone memory just in case.
4. Then go to system-->priv-app and replace or overwrite the DialerNext folder with the folder from the zip. Again make sure you've backed it up.
5. That's it. Reboot the phone & you have the stock dialer.

Hit Thanks if you think this helped!

Try the app GOODEV Sound Booster. Do not encrease booster over 40% bc it will damage the speaker. Also, I recommend lmiting max boosting to 20%
Step 1: Download ‘ES File Explorer’ for Android from Google Play store.
The ES File explorer is one of the best file explorers for Android Phones. It comes with an easy to use interface, is light on RAM and allows easy access to the root of the system. We’ve already posted some things we did using the ES File explorer. Download the ‘ES File Explorer’ and install it on your phone.
Step 2: Enable Root Explorer in the app.
The ES File Explorer also doesn’t want any user to get into the root of the phone, because messing up with the root of the phone could create problems. To protect unwanted access, the File explorer by default doesn’t allows access to the Root.
To access the root on the ES File explorer > Click on the Menu Button > Look for Root Explorer and turn it ON and now a popup will come asking whether you want to grant access to enable root access, in case you don’t allow. ES File Explorer won’t be able to explore the root files.
Step 3: Then enable write access on system partition as follows:
After enabling ‘Root Explorer’, Tap on the Root Explorer again and a pop up will come with many options, Among all the options, Click on “Mount R/W” and then select ‘system’ as ‘R/W’. Hit OK. This will enable write access to the system.
Step 4: Find to3g folder inside sound folder.
Now navigate to the outermost folder of the file explorer. Search for “Device”. You will see one folder named “device”. Now open etc folder and open sound folder. Look for a file named “To3g” and open the file as Text in ES Explorer.
Step 5: Change the Values of Sound using ES Note Editor to increase the volume.
Step 6: Save the File & Test the Volume.
Once done with the above editing work, you are supposed to save the file and reboot your phone. Now check the volume level, It should have increased, if you feel that the volume level has increased to a level more than it should be then again follow the above steps and set the level which is suitable to you.
Step 7: Turn off Root Explorer and Select “R/O” for system to remove write access.
Well, your done with the sound level on your phone. But you enabled Root explorer and also gave “R/W” access to the phone. So first select the R/O option for the system by clicking on the Root Explorer to remove write access and then turn off Root Explorer.
Step 8: Reboot the device, so that the changes are applied and work correctly. After the restart, you should see that the low volume level problem is solved. In case you are having High volume problem, then you can follow the same steps but just reduce the values.

Are you on custom rom?
So two question:
1: Can I use this guide to root my device: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/how-to/newbie-friendly-twrp-root-tab-tablets-t3552509
2: After I'm done doing what I'm doing in root mode, can I reverse the root but still keep the effects?
I want to edit the "hosts" folder on my tablet so I can block sites. I tried doing it with "ES File Explorer" to no avail (it says it can't edit it).
Thank you.
NOTE: FULL DEVICE NAME:
SAMGSUNG GALAXY TAB A6
SERIAL CODE: SM-T280
NOTE #2: I don't care about the benefits of rooting my device so don't try to sell me on them.
Use https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-tab-a6-sm-t280-t3475381 instead to root it. Once you're rooted use FX File Explorer to do the editing, I've had problems mounting with other file explorers.
I just restored my S7 Edge to as stock as possible using Odin and software from Sammobile. Now I can't use my Gear properly because of 'security reasons'. (Gear app works, but not SHealth)
I was planning on using SuperStock to bypass the tripped Knox, but afaik it's not working anymore. Is there another method? I don't really need SPay or stuff like that. Im willing to root or installing TWRP again if I have to, but not a custom ROM.
Follow the steps below to remove the S-Health block.
Download a root file explorer (such as Root Explorer, Root Browser or ES File Explorer).
Open the root file explorer and go to the /system folder.
Open the file named build.prop in text editor
In the build.prop file look for ro.config.tima=1
Change this line to ro.config.tima=0, simply changing the 1 to a 0
Reboor phone
Run the S-Health app

Can confirm it works on Oreo following these steps.
