Unfortunately TouchWiz Home Has Stopped

Ok... I will start, First thing was to get rid of that stupid swipe up to the Magazine app under the home page of my Sprint Note 3. After I deleted the Magazine apk and odex files, when the home button was hit twice I got an error message "Unfortunately TouchWiz Home Has Stopped Working". My solution was to install NOVA Launcher. After it was setup, I deleted TouchWiz Home .apk and Easy Launcher .apk (TouchWiz Easy Home). The error message has stopped, the home screen does not swipe up anymore (great!!!).

Wonderful work mate :) i know i had serach for two days to zero in on a reliable tested list :)

Back then ( about a week back ) I had followed Droidstyles list of bloatware apps and uninstalled most barring samsung HUB and its service and that easy mode apk .

all the rest i murdered mercilessly ;P Of course he is on verizon N3 and ours is sprint , but apart from native vzn apps all the rest are similar and safe to freeze or remove , all the sprint crap i had already removed .

Unfortunately Sprint ID Has Stopped

I have another one, I deleted the MDMApp.apk. It showed 0.00B on the application manger, thought it was empty. After I deleted it, got an error message " Unfortunately Sprint ID Has Stopped" when I downloaded an app in the play store, ended up restoring my latest backup, and replacing the MDMApp.apk. It may be empty, but it has something to do with e-mail identity and your device identity when using Google Play Store. Here is a site that explains this. http://www.itnews.com.au/BlogEntry/350953,what-is-mdm.aspx Restoring the app did NOT stop the error message !!! Somehow the settings where changed in the Google play store. When I installed Nova launcher and deleted the TouchWis launcher you have to uncheck the "Add icon to Home screen" option, or the play store tries to add an icon the to home page of a now deleted TW launcher and you get the "Unfortunately Sprint ID has Stopped" error message. There is more one fix, you can delete the ID.apk, this stops the error message to, ID.apk installs the sprint default apps, Scout, Messaging +,CBS News, Lockout Security,1Weather, etc. Which showed up the time first booted up your new device. You MUST also, delete Sprint_Installer.apk, or it reinstalls everything on a new boot up. If you delete the default apps you can always find them in the Google Play Store.

Unfortunately Email Has Stopped

First, after receiving an email and clearing it out of notifications, I get the error message "Unfortunately Email Has Stopped". This is caused by either stopping the MyMagazine.apk (doesn't stay stopped) or deleting it (my choice). So, I downloaded a deodexed NC5 copy, pulled Gmail2.apk, and SecEmail_J.apk files. Decompiled them with an APK Tool, and tossed them in a Text Editor. Did several searches could not find the word Magazine in any file in the APK's. SOLUTION : downloaded CloudMagic email app, set up my emails, then deleted SecEmail_J.apk and odex files. Left the Gmail2.apk, and SecExchange.apk files in place, and everything works great with no error messages!!!

Edit : If you have updated from Gmail.apk to Gmail2.apk, Gmail2 allows for Google, and non-Google email accounts to run on it. So all you have to do is delete SecEmail_J.apk and .odex files. Then run all your emails on the Gmail2.apk app and the " Unfortunately Email has stopped " error will be gone !!!

Build.prop ( knox )

As you can see from the image, I'm going to assume the line item builds or tells device to build a KNOX container ? This was still there after I did a KNOX search with Root Explorer. I used the script editor in Root Explorer to remove the line circled in red. So far there have been to problems or error messages. Hopefully just another part KNOX spyware gone !!!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
KNOX REMOVAL ( Build.prop )

As many of us know, you can disable KNOX but so far, it is impossible to remove it. I found that after ROOTING my device, once you open SuperSU it asks if you want to disable KNOX ( MANY THANKS TO CHAINFIRE ). I clicked yes, Then installed Root Explorer, and did a search for KNOX. It came up with a dozen or so files, I did a mulit-delete to get rid of them. With that done you end up with two files left that when deleted come back (reinstall) upon rebooting device. First one is SYSTEM/DATA/KNOXVPN below are screenshots.

Now to permanently delete this file, go into Root Explorer script editor and remove the files that are outlined in RED in Build.prop screenshot below. Then delete the files in the screen shots above, and reboot device. As you can see in the next screenshot below it is gone, and will not reinstall on boot up !!!

As for the second one it is CILPBOARD/DATA/KNOX it is still a work in progress, but I have not given up yet !!!

CSC ( Customer Sales Code )

In the process of DEBLOATING my Samsung Note 3 after multiple recovery backups, error messages, and freezes. I needed a fresh start, went to Samsung Firmware and downloaded the latest version of 4.4.2 NC5. Once it was flashed in the device, I noticed that upon boot up the Yellow Sprint Logo that follows the Samsung logo was missing. At first I thought it was an incomplete download. ( This could be a problem ) Turns out, there are four CSC ( customer sales codes ) versions of Sprint 4.4.2 NC5 on my device.

1. SPR ( Sprint USA ) adds yellow Sprint logo, very common

2. VMU ( Sprint USA ) adds yellow Sprint logo, used rarely

3. BST ( Boost Mobile Australia )

4. XAS ( Sprint USA ) no Sprint logo, used when carrier is unknown

( If you go to system/media this is why there are so many versions boot_samsung.qmg files )

The files listed above can be found in system/csc. To find out which version you are running go to system/csc/sales_code.dat, and open with a text editor. The version of 4.4.2 NC5 I downloaded from Samsung Firmware was XAS that comes with no yellow Sprint logo. ( Problem solved )

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Prl, mdn, min, meid, spc ???

What does all this mean?​

What is the PRL?

The PRL (Preferred Roaming List) is essentially a list of towers for the device to use to prioritize communication. A "Sprint" PRL is required for the device to use Sprint's towers to communicate. So, you should update your PRL when you move, or are planning to be in an area for an extended period of time.

What is the MDN?

The MDN (Mobile Directory Number) is the phone number with area code associated to your account. It is required to program your device. (Example 5558675309)

What is the MIN aka MSID?

The MIN(Mobile Identification Number) is a unique number associated to your account, using the same area code of your locale. It is required to program your device. (Example 5551234567)

A mobile station ID (MSID) is a number that is associated with the home service provider and the wireless phone number. This is reprogrammed when the user changes home service providers. It can also be called the mobile identification number (MIN) and is not to be confused with the mobile device number (MDN) in the CDMA world, which is the device's telephone number.

What is the MEID/IMEI/ESN?

The MEID ( Mobile Equipment Identifier ) is what your carrier uses to identify your device. MIED is a form of ESN ( Electronic Serial Number ). IMEI stands for ( International Mobile Equipment Identity ). IMEI is another form of ESN. In Sprint's case, you need the MEID DEC to associate your device with your account. Some devices (Samsung Note 3) have it listed on the sticker under the battery, while others will have MEID HEX listed in the OS instead, and will need to be converted to DEC. Samsung Note 3 lists both on the sticker under the battery.

(DEC Example 268435456123456789) (HEX Example A000000A1B2C3D)

What is the SPC? aka MSL?

The SPC is a 6-digit code used to access the programming features of your device. All Verizon devices use 000000 as the SPC code, which makes flashing very easy usually. Sprint devices use a unique code for each device and they can be quite a task to obtain.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
MDN and MIN with no MSL on Note 3

Ok, to get MDN and MIN go to DATA/USER/0/com.samsung.syncservice/shared_prefs/PHONE_DATA.xml they will be listed there.

Is there a flashable zip to get the bloatware back?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
No, not that I have found. If you tell what you removed that you want back maybe I can get it for you ? Are you rooted ? Otherwise here are some options.

First if you are not rooted, do a factory reset. Yes you lose all your data, so connect your device to PC via usb cable and copy and paste all of your music and pics to folders on your desktop. Then reinstall after the factory reset. Your contacts will come back after you sign in to your gmail account.

If you have a rooted device, then you should have made backup right after you rooted the device. So you will have to do a backup restore. I keep two backups, one is copy of the full rooted stock NC5. The other is a backup of NC5 with a font mod, volume mod, and completely debloated, no KNOX set up for daily use. If I flash a new rom and it goes bad I can always restore back to normal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] uknow:
Im running sacs moar s5 port rom and would love to have sprint zone and I just think it would be great to have all of it back for ppl like me who likes the bloat but just have no idea of where to start
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Here is a link to s5 NE5 Sprint Zone apk https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358552268 toss it on you sd card and see if it will install. If not try to copy and paste from sd card to system/priv-app with something like Root Explorer be sure to check permissions should be rw-r--r-- then reboot device for the apk to work.

If that doesn't work go to this link https://mega.co.nz/#!cEQyiTCZ!N5y9k7Bpmecw1_uY3PrSWHU00mpsuD4HZIiISTR4AhU this is a copy of the Zone.apk from my stock rooted note 3 running 4.4.2 NC5. Just follow the instructions above. Enjoy!!!

KNOX WARRANTY 0x0 VS FLASH COUNTER

Well basically your Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has both of them :

First there is the KNOX Warranty counter 0x0. What is it ? Well, when you send data it creates an encrypted container installs the data in the container and sends it off. Handy at the corporate level for sensitive information. When the device has been altered/tripped it all longer has the ability to do this, and Samsung will not warranty that your data will be encrypted/safe.

The Flash Counter is a hidden counter ( at least before NH7 came out ) on your Note 3. It counts every time you flash a ROM, RECOVERY, and some ZIP files.

Here are some images of a Note 3 in download mode, the image on the bottom is NH7 notice the (0) that is the flash counter.

I have downloaded System app safe remover from Playstore, to remove bloatware from my Note 3, but getting a bit confused.

It shows a list of system apps with the remark keymodule, but I can't find anywhere what the consequences are if I remove such app, or if it's better to leave it alone.

Can anyone explain to me please what the meaning of the keymodule remark is?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
I have never seen that term used before. But if I had to take a guess, it's a system app that will cause something not to function or a force close. If would list the apps that you are concerned with I can hopefully tell you what they do and what happens if you delete or freeze them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] basjke:
Thanks for the response, the apk I'm talking about is this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en

To name just a few of the apps that have that remark

com.qualcomm.timeservice

com.sec.android.app.FlashbarS

Easy settings

Enterprise Sim Pin Service

Enterprise VPN Services

Factory mode

Gallery

Help

INDIServiceManager

Internet

Knox Notification manager
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] basjke:
Found a little more info on the remark on Apkreleases.

Safe, we filter out all apps that may cause unstable after uninstalled, and had tested hundreds of devices, so you can use it safely, but we can not make sure 100% safe because of manufacturers may customized too much, also, we backup all app you uninstalled automatic, so you can restore them in Recycle Bin whenever you need;

Clear, we classify all system app as [Could remove], [Should keep], [Key module], so you can choose what app to uninstall clearly;

Mark one app that can’t be restored as [Key module];

Does that mean I shouldn't remove it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Ok the first thing I would do is if you have a custom recovery. Make a backup of your stock rooted KitKat OS ( what ever version you are running ). Then start deleting the bloatware, go for the non-system apps first you don't want, then make another backup. So now you have two backups say on an external sd card. Which is what I run. Then just keep deleting files until your done or you get a FC then just keep replacing the second backup till you widdle down the OS to a good daily driver. I also makes a great backup if you flash a different rom and it doesn't work out you can always go back to your daily driver.

com.qualcomm.timeservice has to do with your cpu I would leave that alone.

com.sec.android.app.FlashbarS not sure but I will find out

Easy settings your phone actually has two launchers the normal touch wiz launcher basically what the phone came with. Next is the Easy launcher which can be active by going to settings/device/easy mode and turning on easy mode. Doing this kills most everything and the device runs just the basics. One page very few icons calling and text that's it. Easy settings works with the easy launcher I deleted both.

Enterprise Sim Pin Service this app provides the program that has you enter your eight digit code to activate an International Sim Card that has been installed in the device. I would not delete it.

Enterprise VPN Services this is tied to adding a Pin Code to your Lock Screen. Don't delete

Factory mode by default it is in the on position. It has to do with keeping the EFS partition from being corrupted when flashing new roms. Do not delete.

Gallery this is the app that holds some of your pictures. You can delete but you will lose the ability to display pictures.

Help depends what app it is in ?

INDIServiceManager I think it is tied your Samsung account, you can freeze it, I still have mine maybe I'll delete it and see what happens.

Internet if you want to surf better keep this one.

Knox Notification manager if you use KNOX keep it. I deleted it. I also deleted every file with KNOX in it I could find.

Hope this helps !!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
According to what they are saying, yes !! But remember they are covering there behinds, and there is a lot of combinations that app works on. The way the app is set up you don't really delete the app completely you just move it out of the OS and it can be replaced later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] basjke:
I don't have custom recovery, and also won't install one yet, as my phone is new and I want to keep warranty.

Is there a way to backup my 4.4.2 system without a custom recovery? I'm not familiar with ADB so an APK that can do it for me would be useful. I have Titanium pro installed but am not sure if it backs up the whole OS or only the apps.

Regarding the internet app, can I remove it if I install FF for example, or does every browser use this app?

Does removing the Knox apps trigger the Knox counter, or can I safely remove them, and if I have a warranty issue simply flash a stock rom with Odin?

I'm still reading up on it but I think to understand that Knox is also a security system that prevents your phone to be used when lost or stolen., so it should be a must have. Not?

Thanks for the help so far.

So using this app will not really save me storage space, unless I can empty the recycle bin, which I haven't checked out yet if this is a possibility.

Do you have a suggestion for another app to manually remove the apps. My aim is to save space and horsepower cpu of course.
