I've searched XDA and Google but most of them saied NO. But that doesn't explain stock based ROM that can use Secure Folder like hadesROM or Alexis Rom so there IS a way to bypass Knox check in Secure Folder.
You may say 'Then why don't you just use their ROM?' but I use S8+(SM-G955N) and their work are based on Note 8 or S8. I don't like that part personally. Of course, I cannot just copy&paste their work(you know why).
I've tried this method but I couldn't find that smali file because services.jar was odexed i think.
I even tried to use Smali Patcher but it turned out worst method because after using that module, my camera app stuck at black screen and Secure Folder app unlocks without entering pattern. I won't use it again because it overwrites framework file so I can't undo it.
Does anyone know how to bypass Knox check when using Secure Folder?

There are update regarding the secure folder on rooted device? I tried to search something but it was old
Hi all...
as I'm writing this, my MPM1 is on Stock ROM v334, rooted.
I notice that since few previous fw version at least, or maybe even since the first time the first MPM1 was out for sale, the sounds of the screen being locked and unlocked are still the same.
Is there a way to change them?
I mean it's not available now, and I know that this might be not easy either,..but since there are many experts on this xda forum, I wish that perhaps somebody could make a way/mod to do that?
That's all.
Apologize for my question that maybe is too noob.
Thank you verymuch.
I dont know exactly how to change the lock sounds but there is/should-be a way.
As your device stock-rooted, you can install Gravity box, so you can get wide range of customizations.

GravityBox requires xposed! ?
---------- Post added at 04:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 AM ----------
For the OP -
There are magisk modules like 1. Twilight core, Pixel 2 audio and boot animation.
which can help you such kinda stuff systemlessly, so less of a hassle and more options to choose from.
Another way is -
Using any root enabled file explorer, all you have to do is go to /system/media/audio/ui
Copy the whole folder as a backup first and then specifically for your lock sound; either you can add lock.ogg & unlock.ogg
or replace them with any sound that you want
in the same .ogg format.
For lock and unlock.
Also first try copying into that by adding rather than replacing and see if you can change those sounds after a reboot.
Of it that doesn't work, then replace those files and reboot.
Similarly you can also add various other sounds in system/media/audio as per your needs for custom notifications, alarms etc.
Edit - the 2nd way would modify /system partition which might trip safetynet.

1. Do you mean "MidnightCore - twilight edition" module on magisk?
I tried to install that from magisk, but after install, reboot, nothing. Should be a new app icon on the homescreen, right?
But nothing. no icon. no nothing. Only on magisk it said that it has been installed, but nothing... seems like I did nothing.
So I uninstall the module from Magisk.
2. Then I tried the other method.
Using Root explorer I copy paste two .ogg sound files (renamed as lock.ogg and unlock.ogg) into that said folder after I renamed the original files. Then I changed the new files permissions into r-w-r-r (like the original files permission set). Then I rebooted the phone. Nothing hapenned. No Lock nor Unlock sound as I intended to. Infact I accidentally deleted and lost my two original files (the Asus' original lock.ogg and unlock.ogg files)...Would you send me that 2 original files please? I'll be really appreciate it.
Well I'd like to change them but if I failed, I prefer them than to have no sounds like now
3. Last try, I installed the XposedInstaller 3.1.5 apk in intention to try Gravity Box app module like Jaheen said above.
But then when I tried to install the Xposed framework, it said waiting for download...forever....so I lose my patient then I uninstalled the Xposed too.
Full of failed me this time

1. You have to use terminal commands.
Go to their support thread.
Link - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-midnightcore-one-midnight-modules-t3762758
Download terminal app from playstore.
2. So umm.. I don't know why the new sounds don't work. Were they already in .ogg format?
I haven't done anything like changing the UI sounds so not sure, just added some sounds in ringtone and stuff. Sorry?. But mostly it's the same process.
3. You aren't able to download xposed framework from magisk??
Anyways don't bother because gravitybox can't change the lockscreen sounds.

1. I did check the thread. But I don't understand the thread Original post. The guide there is too few for a noob like me.
2. already ogg. I convert it from mp3 to ogg on online convert service by audio.online-convert.com probably their convert method is not good for task like this (?) I don't know. Will try it again more carefully with my pc and more proper convert software later when I'm home and see what the result will become.
3. okay I don't really have a good feeling using xposed either. it's good if I can avoid it.
anyway thank you for the replies and files. the 2 original sounds work again as usual now with files from you.
will report back here later.
hi friends.
rooting killed the "Samsung secure folder".
i was wondering if i can use an app called "folder lock pro"?
will i get any issues since its rooted?
all i want to do is to place a txt file in a folder (containing all my passwords.)
so what should i do?
did we lose the secure Files/Folders option for good?
thank you.
I assume that you already have TWRP setup on your phone so I will not go through that process here.
Android version and Phone model
My tests are based off the latest stock ROM of the Canadian SM-G920W8 SIM unlocked model. The latest supported version of Android for the Samsung Galaxy S6 is Nougat version 7.0. Versions higher than that have serious camera issues, and yes, I tried MANY ROMs. Activating API2, trying other camera apps. They all sum up to be pretty much all the same with their different sets of problems. This is why I chose the latest v7.0 stock ROM. I have not fell on any v7.1.1 ROMs and v7.1.2 have camera issues too. So, I took the latest that does not come with camera issues.
Hardware key combinations to remember
Urgent/Bootloop shutdown and reboot: Volume DOWN + Home + Power
Enter TWRP: Volume UP + Home + Power
Assayyed Kitchen: XDA Thread
This tool is the best and easiest one I have found for Windows. I just do not use the debloat and deknox options as I do it myself with a personal webserver in PHP I wrote for myself. Assayyed Kitchen uses 3 main folders for working. PLACE, WORK and READY.
PLACE: You put there a zipped ROM or any Stock files in there. Assayyed will do all the unzipping for you.
WORK: Once Assayyed has done it's magic, you should see your needed files there where "system" is the most important one we will focus on here.
READY: That's where your final zip file is created for you to copy on your phone and install.
You do not need to use the PLACE folder if you already have a full uncompressed "system" folder. Simply copy and paste the "system" folder inside the WORK folder and use Assayyed skipping the #1 step of creating a project.
I will answer these questions:
Which files do I need to delete to remove KNOX, also known as deknox the rom?
Which files and apps can I safely remove to boot my phone with a clean Android system also known as debloat?
Now, debloating is still in a work in progress on my side because I have a very ambitious debloating project, like many. The aim of this debloation is to:
Remove all Google apps,framework and libs
Remove all useless Samsung apps that do not interfere with proper working equipement.
Remove all other additional apps
All I want is to keep the barebones of a functionning Android system while maintaining some needed functionalities such as a photo gallery, calendar and the camera.
Many ROM creators have their very own definition of DEBLOAT. They not only debloat the ROM but REBLOAT them with their own personal bloatwares INCLUDING magisk and sql lite and other hacks and apps for advanced configs. The goal of my ROM is to be able to install ON MY OWN Magisk, Open GApps and other stuff if I want AND not limited to versions that are included in the ROM. ROMs with Magisk, for example, use Magisk version uploaded at the time but Magisk evolves with time and newer version become available. So I hated to have all that stuff to take care about. It's the very basic stock rom debloated with nothing more than what stock offered. No kernels, no additional software, just a pure debloated and deknoxed ROM.
Here are the lists of what I have successfully debloated with a successfull boot for now. Note that I did not add the ".apk" because those files are usually inside their respective folders BUT, should you have no folders inside the app or priv-app folder, then simply add ".apk" at the end of the name. Other thing to mention, the root directory is "system". SInce my server works with the "system" folder directly, I did not add the "system/" at the beginning of every line. The complete lists are files and folders contained inside the "system" folder. Note that some files have no extentions too and should not be mistaken for folders.

Audio files debloat
These are extra Audio files that are not necessary for the phone to boot and like most people, you will probably customize your own ringtones. I kept a few basic ringtons and sounds so the phone can have something to work with on startup, but these files, to me are extras and unecessary.

WIP - Revove all Google framework and apps
I went through the entire apk, framework and lib folders from a full Open GApps zip file and tried to remove all of what it installs and I get a Bootloop, So working on trying to figure out what causes this.
I found some answers at these links concerning files that makes the phone fail to boot and other usefull information.

Remove all Google apps from an android phone
Other lists to come soon when I am able to get my phone to boot with my removed apps...
In the mean time...
ROOTED phones: Removing unwanted apps WITHOUT using TWRP
So, I came upon a few things for the brave amongst you who wish to debloat their phones with root access but without using scripts in TWRP. Here is what you need to know.
Paths at the root of the phone, NOT sdcard...ROOT
/data/user/0 : This is where your installed apps are BUT they are saved under their package name and not their APK names. If you delete anything in this folder, you need to reboot after you are done cleaning in here.
/system/app : These apps re-install on phone reboot if not present
/system/priv-app : Same as above, these apps re-install on reboot if not present
File browser with ROOT access
I use Total Commander which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store. Once you open it, you need to enable root access by going into the app's settings using the "Configure..." option in it's menu. The scroll down to the bottom and check the box "Root functions everywhere". If you installed Magisk, the root permissions granting popup should appear for you to grant forever. Now, you can explore the entirety of your phone to delete those pesky apps.
Great guide! I've been meaning to get into making my own ROMs, particularly now that development for the S6 has all but stopped.
However, when I unpacked Assayyed my AV scanner Immunet (which uses CISCO's AV database) pinged up that there were 4 instances of "Andr.Dropper.Slocker::apk.agent.talos". These were in Superuser.apk, CLASSIC.zip, ASSAYYED.exe and FAST.zip.
Now, maybe this trojan is part of how the software operates - I could certainly see that as a possibility with things related to MicroG - but really a tool meant to remove things from a ROM, a tool you run in Windows oustide of Android, shouldn't be adding stuff like that back in.

Finding a WINDOWS tool to create a ROM is already not easy. On my side, I have not had any issues in running Assayyed. But I agree that the devs should AT LEAST try to make their apps AV detection free or at least warn people as to why they've incorporated those codes inside their app. BUT, that left asside, all the scripts used to do the work are available and one can simply make their own scripts or bat files and never use Assayyed as they simply launch commands from their scripts. Thank you for this information though!!!
Secure folder is not working on rooted android 11, smali patcher no longer works. Any way to fix it? i have found this, but its for a50 and i don't know it it would work for my a40 and i don't want to brick my device
