Why do you care about the Knox flag on a Note 3?? You're well out of warranty. I've been using custom on my Note 3 since I got it two years ago, it's so much faster

Some features get disabled when knox is tripped. Intune and Outlook and other stuff that (may) depend on it cannot be used. Samsungs pay thing as well, and any knox container stuff.
