KingRoot: ads on lockscreen and uses A TON of internet for nothing - no.

KingoRoot: shady Chinese company - no.

vRoot: adware and downloading things - no.

iRoot: same company as vRoot - no.

dr. Fone: bricks your phone - no.

towelroot: safe but get it from towelroot.com - try it!

framaroot: safe but get it from XDA, Google Play lies that it is a virus - try it!

Baidu Root: Chinese - no.

Magisk: safe from XDA, implies flashing - yep.

Flashing SuperSU, Magisk or CyanogenMod - maybe, but a bit harder, but you can find some advice here - yep.

[Shield Tablet General] razorseal:
Running 5.0 lollipop. ..

I realized how slow it can be at times. My note 3 just did a speed test at 50+ mbps and the shield only got 21 mbps...

It has issues even keeping a steady connection at times.

Any ideas guys? I went to 5.0 as soon as I got it (yesterday) so I'm not sure how it would have performed on kitkat

I can have more than 50 mbps connection and download torrents super fast but then just struggle on super slow downloads on google play. Today I was trying to download Lone Wolf from Google play and finally gave up as it needed more than half an hour for 800 mb.

Does anyone have the same problem?
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] rap2191:
I recently bought a T2 Ultra LTE D5303 and updated it to 4.4.3, and been looking for an easy way to root it. Every method i found didn't work for me. Are there no easy way to root the LTE version on android 4.4.3? Something like "one-click root" apps like other devices? There are so many users of the T2 Ultra, there must be a way to get root easily? I have the Sony Flashtool, but i don't have the proper kernel for root. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] Chena_22:
for flashing a kernel, you just need to uncheck everything except kernel....;)

Maybe KingRoot v4.6.0 will answer this. I used the app to root the phone then replaced it with SuperSU :D

Only use this version since it supports up to 5.1.1, newer version wont let you to replace it with SuperSU (some said)

Has anyone experienced this? While playing Madden Mobile it lagged quite a bit.

Yep! I have encryption disabled on mine and I have been seeing a lot of stuttering in games. I am not very happy with the performance I am seeing.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prod1702:
could also be that those games are not update to work with 5.0 yet. I haven't got my phone yet but if this is the case with most games, I will be disappointed.

haven't experienced any game lag with Kingdom Rush Origins.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HowIChrgeLazer:
I'm seeing lag and stutters on Plauge Inc. and Asphalt 8 so far. I haven't tested other games as of yet. It's getting annoying. I might wipe everything and re-flash the stock image to see if it helps at all. What are you guys running right now? I'm rooted and un-encrypted on a 64GB Cloud White.

It could also be the apps themselves like Prod1702 suggested. I'm going to do a comparison with my co-workers N6 before I flash.

Update 1: I'm also seeing the stutters on the boot animation, co-worker is not on his 64GB MB. He is rooted and encrypted and has not changed DPI. I'm going to reflash stock and see if the issue persists.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinosaur1:
Stock 32gb
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HowIChrgeLazer:
Okay so another update for you OP. I re-flashed with the stock image and did a (manual) full wipe of the userdata using the Nexus Root Toolkit. Also did root and removed encryption again with some manual flashing.

So far no stuttering in Plague Inc like it was before. Going to re-download Asphalt 8 to make sure. If that tests well, I'm going to slowly add things back to see if I can find what caused the problem.

Update 1: Added all google accounts and exchange accounts back, also re-installed my android wear stuff so far. Still no stutter, even after a power off and power on. Perhaps the image from the factory or the OTA update caused some issues with performance. Flashing the image from google via Nexus Root Toolkit seems to have fixed it so far. I'll post if the stuttering returns. Otherwise, it looks good now.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
Ill have to try flashing the stock image again too then. I am still using the encryption as I dont have any performance issues in homescreens and such, but most of my games lag pretty bad. it feels like they are running between 20-24 fps all the time. Rebooting doesnt help, closing all apps doesnt help. I was going to try removing encryption but it looks like people have the problem even with that. Ill just have to try reflashing the stock ROM and see if the lag goes away.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hand76:
I just made a thread about this. Just purchased the new Gta Chinatown Wars for Android and it lags like crazy while driving around. Yet on my N5 it's perfectly smooth.

[Verizon LG G3] Nalij:
Hey Everyone,

I appreciate any input or insight anyone can provide on compatibility of the Verizon LG G3 and MirrorLink/AppRadio2/AppRadio3 (for an Alpine/Pioneer head-unit) .... I cannot root my phone......

I have searched through multiple sites trying to find any information. Some individuals have had success, when rooted but others not so....I cannot root my phone due to TouchDown for work, which i must have, and it will not work if AirWatch detects root.

My primarily goal is the ability to transfer my cloud based Google Music, Spotify, Pandora etc to the headunit and be able to interact with them there. Google Maps capabilities would also be beyond money.

According to Alpine's website MirrorLink supports only the SIII, while Pioneer AppRadio3 works on

LG	Optimus 2X (P990)	Android 2.3.4	HDMI

Optimus G	Android 4.1.2	MHL

Optimus 4G	Android 4.0.4	MHL

So would it work with the G3? If so, to what extent. Appreciate any knowledge anyone can provide. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
You can root your phone, install exposed and an app call root cloak. It will hide root from any app that you choose. (Ex: thats the only way to get Isis working - or whatever its called now).
[Verizon LG G3] Nalij:
I actually tried that and a number of other method combinations on my G2 but AirWatch would always find Root status.
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Hmm, there are other root block apps available too, which I'm sure you tried. I'm out on this one...
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
I need root and ActiveSync also, but I installed Enhanced Email for ActiveSync and it allows me to optionally avoid the administered security policy.

I just recently downloaded the Spb Pocket plus program on my T-Mobile MDA. I decided to uninstall it to place it on my storage card. After I uninstalled I realized that the color of text on my Today Screen was black. It's pretty hard to see because of the pictures I use on my today screen. I have searched posts about changing color but they just address theme colors and so on. Does anyone have any tweaks to change the color of the text back to white on the Today Screen. Thanks.

Can someone explain to me why I would want to ROOT my Chromecast units? I have two of them that I just bought today. I'm about to get the Moto Nexus 6 too when AT&T figures there crap out. Just wondering if ROOT'ing my CC's will be of any benifit?

Really all I'm going to do it cast Youtube and Plex from my phone so maybe this doesn't apply to me. I've already put both of my two new CC's online but for $35.00 dollars IF it offers me anything, I can buy more.

Thanks!

[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
The majority of users will never need root.....

Custom Whitelisting - You might be able to get some features before Google officially supports them (Screen Casting is one example of something you could get while rooted before Google officially supported it) By the same token because Rooted users are for a short time behind Google on the latest version (as they get released) you might have to wait for some new features until Team Eureka makes their version of the update.

Custom DNS But the most notable reason for wanting Root is the ability to set custom DNS so you can get around regional restrictions on content.

ie Living in the UK but wanting to watch content from USA Netflix.

But if all you plan to do is Netflix and Plex there probably is no compelling reason to be rooted....

At least this week...Who knows what Next week brings! LOL
[Google Chromecast] crypt0kiddie:
Thanks for the explanation guys! Sounds like I do not need ROOT at this point then.

I honestly would have probably not bought these Chromecasts but we ordered something like 450 of them at work and put them into all of our classrooms and since I'll be supporting them officially, I thought I should buy one. This thing is so bad ass, I went back for a second CC unit the same day. They work SO well. Much nicer than the Apple TV's we had in our classrooms. I like how these are not limited to what is on them so much and basically there is a way to cast anything to them in one or another.

Wish had gotten these earlier! Between these using Netflix and Plex Media Server with my collection of movies from the past 10 years, I might just shut off the Cable TV. The ONLY thing I ever use the Cable TV for is watching Pawn Stars on Demand. I have 130Mbps internet cable link, what do I need Cable TV for honestly! :)

Thanks again! :)

Back OT... Wargames, that's why you want root. Why? Because you're curious. Because you can. Because it's way cheaper than destroying a $400 piece of equipment because you wanted to see if you could ____. Because you want to cast Wargames to your TV that has nearly 3 times the resolution of (y)our old tube TVs...

[Google Chromecast] rans0m00:
I am also curious if I should root or not... everything revolving around my phones need root to do everything I prefer and would just root this.... except I don't have the hardware needed to root it..... so would have to buy the hardware and have no other use for the hardware except to root this.... I live in the US so don't need to try and get around region locks... As far goes functionality and apps... do I gain anything except a custom white list and a little more control over my device? Specifically I wonder about apps... I know in the rooted world some apps are just not possible without it.... so don't want to get stuck missing out on great apps. I know there have been threads about this in the past but I am interested in an updated answer since the environment is constantly changing.

So i have tried about 7 different Zagg tempered glass screens now and they all have a big halo. Today at best buy the guy told me that Zagg said they are not able to make a screen that doesn't have a halo. With that being said, what screen have you guys/girls had success with? I have seen a few different ones, but I want the one with the either the littlest halo or none at all. Thanks in advance.

I dont have a balls to try that but would be possible to glue glass screen protector to phone screen using LOCA glue? I assume that glue would fill air void between screen and glass protector. Since LOCA adhesive is perfectly clear there would be no halo effect.

Has anybody else had any luck pairing a PS4 controller with the Amazon Fire TV Stick? I saw that with the Amazon Fire TV you hold share and power, and you can then pair them.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ualdayan:
I tried sideloading Android's settings.apk - and even then it was a no go. Maybe part of their plan of selling it for $20 was counting on some sales of the $40 controller, so they don't want us using other controllers with it anymore.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khb008:
I also tried with the settings apk. My problem was that the controller would not even show up in the Settings.apk Bluetooth menu. On the other hand, it showed up in the Bluetooth controllers options but did not connect.

Other people have had success connecting the Ouya controller thus I think its not that they don't want ANY 3rd party controllers, its just that the Bluetooth driver and/or hardware they're using is different than the Fire TV. Which is really sad because the ONLY reason I bought the Fire TV stick was because I read PS4 controller works out of the box with FireTV.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] witinhalf:
Same issue for me and I'm really bummed. Any other things to try besides the settings.apk? I have a feeling this is a cut cost hardware issue.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khadijanaire:
same issue

I have just spoken with amazon and according to them the PS4 controller is not compatible. I too saw an youtube video where someone was able to pair it, if anyone has a solution to this issue please let me know, I really don't want to wait for the playpad pro that is optimazied for amazon since its back ordered
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BOBdotEXE:
I finally got it to pair, but the performance is pretty terrible, you can see the process here: http://youtu.be/jF3ExA3qzbc (no root required) to keep this from being a 'shameless plug' I'll post the brief instructions, so you can skip the video if you want.

'adb shell' into your fire stick

Get your mac address with this command: settings get secure bluetooth_address

Download and install sixaxisPairToolSetup-0.3.0

Connect your controller via usb to your pc, run the tool, and change the master address to your fire stick's address

Put your dualshock4 in pairing mode and scan for bluetooth controllers with your fire stick

As soon as "wireless controller" shows up on the list DO NOT SELECT IT.

Turn off your controller by holding the (ps) button

Select "wireless controller" on your fire stick

Turn back on the controler

It should now be connected, and it will be greyed out in the list.

if it did not connect try the pairing process again, but this method worked for me on the first try.

[/LIST](the youtube video is more detailed, and has all the links, but with this post and a quick google search, you should be able to find everything you need)

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrWolfman:

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrussell50:
unfortunately according to the link there still is lag when inputting commands (1 month ago), I am hoping someone can find a workaround for the lag issues because games are unplayable through bluetooth using a ps4 controller
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrWolfman:
my lag isnt that bad at all tbh, i can play sonic 1 no problems, i can play nintendo emulator no problems, i think the lag may be due to the distance from the stick to the controller, my distance is about 2 metres from the stick maybe just over, if you live in a BIG house with over 5 metre distance then yes there would obviously be lag

I haven't managed to get the ds4 paired via Bluetooth as yet but whilst trying I connected it to a powered usb hub which is connected to the stick which is rooted and has OTG enabled.

It worked immediately wired.

As soon as I pulled the cable though the stick rebooted. But if your desperate, rooted and have an OTG cable you can connect your ds4 to you fire stick.

FYI My old wired xbox 360 (afterglow) didn't work when that was connected.
