[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] GuestK00143:
THREAD CLOSED This method is obsolete please use this program instead. ​

I have a script below to stop and block Knox, the OTA and Dt Ignite (spyware). My script only works for KitKat. Use this for lollipop. First off I take no credit for the files other than modding the script to work for the apps I wanted disabled. This can be edited to your own liking to disable any app on the phone without root. Credit goes to Rootjunky for the original files from the Droid Turbo and to [MENTION=4163319]scarygood536[/MENTION] for rewriting and simplifying the script I modded. This is a nice community effort.:good:

Instructions

1: Download and install your Samsung drivers if you have not already. Scroll down to the manuals & download section.

2: Download the VZW_Note4_Block_Bloat.zip that is attached below.

3: Unzip the VZW_Note4_Block_Bloat zip file to a convenient location such as your desktop.

4: Enable developer options on your phone and enable USB debugging.

5: Connect the phone to your PC.

6: Run the Block and Unblock Bloat.bat file, allow USB debugging on your phone and follow the instructions.​

That should do it. There should no longer be System updates in your settings menu. You can add more apps by adding the package name from the packages.txt file below to the Block and Unblock Bloat.bat file with notepad. Just follow the same format as in the script. This method is 100% safe and will not trip Knox, the system status is still official because no software is being removed.
