I own a Android Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The phone has disguised apps with hidden photos, docs ect. that when I go to my files and try to view them I am given the message that all apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked, or are not installed. I downloaded ES file explorer file manager and can see a list of installed apps however some of them deny me access in the same manner as well. I can see these have large amounts of data in them. They do show when they were last accessed as well in the details section. I can see they were accessed within the last 10 days also. There are files as old as 2013 & I have had different phones throughout that time. I can see in the activity that "android system " was accessed. Android web view is an application listed but I am denied access. I can see remote desk top is also used. How can I access this data & view these files? Is there anyone I can hire to do this? PLEASE HELP
 
Well if Android System has activity, thats normal. Thats just android doing what it needs to.
Other than the photos and such, that maybe a virus. What was the last few items installed/downloaded?

After much digging and back and forth i have been able to confirm that there IS XPrivacypro on my device UNFORTUNATELY it is comtrolled by some protected app manager & disguised or camouflaged. That being why I cannot access it let alone locate the app. I am so sick to my stomach to think what is protected....scared! i can see there are VPN's in use (i did not install any of this) there are tons of data being uploaded . I can see tgere is some remote access. I can see its some secret android app/ package installed but not specifically or how to access it. I wish I could understand it all, figure it out & see how my life hangs in all this secret, password protected looky Lou sneaky crud. feel so violated in my own phone. Isnt there any apps to expose it?
 
You could reflash the stock firmware and return it to fresh out of the box condition. This would erase all user data on the phone so if there is anything you want to save, you should back it up to your PC.

Who has had access to your phone? XPrivacy is a Xposed module and needs Xposed framework installed on a rooted device. With Samsungs you also need a deodexed rom for Xposed to work properly.

Thank you, clearly that is WAY advanced for me. I have no idea where to begin but I am ever so thankful for the information, guidance & understanding. Had you not told me, I would have never knew or at least not today.
 
If you think that someone may have installed something on your phone without your knowledge, you could always use Odin to flash it back to stock then change all of your passwords and lock screen pin.
Flashing the stock firmware will remove anything that was added and return your phone to fresh out of the box condition.
