You can still activate them, but Royal Decree negates all other traps except itself, so they will be negated. You can however activate such a card like Seven Tools of The Bandit to negate the activation of Royal Decree itself and destroy it, because Royal Decree does not apply the negation effect until it resolves.

In yugioh if you use a trap card and your opponent negates after you use it will your trap card still work?

'Negation' can have two different contexts. You can negate a card's activation (meaning the resolution never happens) or just negate the effect (meaning it resolves but does nothing). Solemn Judgment can negate activations, Royal Decree negates resolutions, and also switches off the effects of continuous traps.If you negate the activation or the effect of Normal Traps and Counter Traps, then that means you don't get their effect. If the negation effect destroys them, they will go to the graveyard on destruction, otherwise they will go to the graveyard when the chain finishes resolving.If you negate the activation of a continuous Trap card, then it is unable to remain on the field, and it will go to the graveyard.If you negate the effect of a continuous Trap card, then it will be able to stay on the field, however will do nothing until the negation effect ends. So if it was an active Royal Decree that was negating it, its effects will become active again if Royal Decree leaves the field. This goes for both chaining a negation effect to the activation of the continuous trap, or activating one later on, while the continuous trap is face-up and active.

Do you also negate a monster's Flip Effect if you negate its Flip Summon in Yu-Gi-Oh?

This depends on the specific monster and its abilities. If a monster's summon is negated and the monster destroyed, it is likely that its effect was never able to be activated in the first place. In this case, its effect would never have applied

Can royal decree stop counter trap cards such as magic drain or magic jammer etc..?

If royal decree is not in the chain, yes. However, if your opponent activates, for example, mirror force, then you chain trap jammer, then they use a trap jammer, you would not be able to activate royal decree because it's got a spell speed of 2. Only counter traps have a spell speed of 3 and to counter a card, you need to play a card that is the same or a higher spell speed. So in the example, mirror force would not be negated because their jammer would negate yours.
