[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mlin:
All you're doing is talking about disabling apps. What about all the other users people have to root. You paint a very black and white picture and act like all people who want to customize the fine details of their phone are obsessive and picky people who "throw fits." Your analysis of the population at XDA seems to be based on something other than reality. I personally don't understand coming to a forum that was invented for people who want to hack, tweak and modify their phones and then bash the process. Do you join auto enthusiast forums to tell people how silly it is to be a automobile enthusiast?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] SquireSCA:
The discussion at that point was about "Debloating". I never said that there were not other reasons for root, only that as phones have gotten better, the need for root has become less and less.

I have been on this forum awhile, because many of my other devices were ones that I rooted and installed ROMs, etc...

But on this particular phone, where everyone that bought it knew ahead of time that it didn't have root and that root wasn't very likely?

Maybe you guys should have done your homework before purchasing? I mean, sitting here complaining about root and how you are gonna return the phone, etc... Why waste the time? Go buy a Nexus and be done with it.

It doesn't have a stylus? Then learn to live without one. Either way, the Note 4 is obviously not for a lot of you...

Maybe, but at some point it becomes obsessive for a lot of folks, we have all seen it...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] patt2k:
So let me ask you this.

Why won't you simply block all bloat via ADB? yes you can do it even Verizon bloat.. EVEN KNOX.

Just wondering..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] xdadevnube:
Brushing off people's desire to heavily debloat is a cop out.

Saying that need for root is diminished with newer phones is a cop out.

I for one argue that heavy debloat is more important than ever and will continue to increase with newer phones.

I keep finding new uses for root and it is just as important, if not more so, than ever before.

It is a bit saddening to see some people's lack of enthusiasm towards freeing their device, as it is contradictory to the spirit of XDA. That said, I think we can learn from a device that can't obtain root because people can share their ways to improve the device as much as possible, even without root. The DPI thread and the debloat thread are a couple examples.

I think we should refrain from only stating our opinion on root. I would suggest a poll for that. I think it would be more constructive to share mods/tricks that we find that improves this phone. Unfortunately, I don't have much to contribute as I will not get this device unless we get root (might get DE, we'll see).

Also, some of us don't want the Nexus6 for a few reasons:

1. single antenna - no simultaneous voice and data

2. Low brightness screen with poor color saturation (maybe a kernel workaround for color, not sure)

3. No subsidized pricing on Verizon

4. No S Pen

5. large and thick

Note 4 is a much better device in regards to hardware.

The Exynos Note 4 truly is the best phone IMO. It's too bad that none of the Exynos variants have Verizon band 13 and band 4 support, or I would get it over Snapdragon any day. Again, opinion.

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

Fair point, but still misleading. All bloat cannot be blocked without root.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] domtru:
Mt thoughts exactly. Years before I couldn't deal with a phone that didn't have root. After some well known developers got hired by Samsung their phones have come out legit. I suspect being able to disable the stock apps was an extension of their employment. Either way, root has more and more become obsolete. Every time I see people tinkering with this powerful phone only to have problems with the new rom I scratch my head. This phone is simply a home run.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rcanderson232:
A couple questions:

1) Is there a way to make this adb persist on reboot?

2) How would you revert the change on the per app basis? I had Tasker change the DPI when opening the camera app and when I changed from the camera app the rest of the phone had followed suit on the dpi change. Is there a way for it to detect when changing the app to change the DPI back?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] big70tom:
Root is a unicorn anymore man. Not gonna happen. Once update comes out, it goes from a unicorn, something we all fantasize about seeing, to a Dodo bird, something that is extinct and will never return. Everyone just need to find the ANDROID SKIN they can best deal with and move on. I also doubt, if in the future, when only Dev editions will be able to flash ROMs, if there will be as big a dev community as there once was. The good old days with plenty of choices. Verizon especially. I swear when I live in an area where Tmo bile or Sprint actually has top quality coverage, I'm dumping BigRed, penalty fees be damned
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rippley05:
I agree 100%. I'd love Sprint or Tmobile, but their networks are a joke.

Root isn't going to happen on the Verizon Note 4, Samsung Verizon phones may never see root again. The development community is already faded out, this new anti root, unlocked bootloader crap has take it's toll. It was fun while it lasted I guess.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Reinaldo33897:
I made my decision that though I love att service, I will never upgrade again and they can kiss my *** from here on in.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Matttrix:
Rooting for me actually increased my spending on root apps (including buying the xda app). Its kinda like the argument about pirated music, the better things are the more I support it. Rooting gave me more control of my phone so I ended up spending more. Not just for XDA people but others as well. I think others feel like I do to and should embrace this. rooting isnt for everyone and many people shouldnt root but for those of us who do it shouldn't be as hard as it is.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sector2112:
Okay guys, I just have a couple of quick (I hope) questions in regards to rooting an HTC One M7 on Verizon Wireless.

I've done a lot of research and I am genuinely confused about everything and really just need a few questions answered. I've done my research and done my googling but I still need some help.

I haven't rooted a phone in probably well over 2-3 years. The last phone I rooted was a HTC Evo on Sprint which was a breeze. I've had my HTC One for a little over a year now I believe. I'm getting kind of bored of it and I saw that CyanogenMod has come a long way since I last used it. Through my research I have found that the Verizon HTC One M7 is kind of difficult and complicated to root and I apparently need to S-OFF as well, which I have no experience with. My phone has been kept up-to-date (I know that's a bad thing in this case) and I'm running Android 4.4.3, software number 5.28.605.2, baseband version 1.13.41.0702. I'm not sure what out of that information is relevant but there you have it.

What I'm wanting to do is unlock/root/whatever my phone, install CWM recovery, and CM11. Now from the research I have done it appears that if I purchase SunShine S-Off (which looks like my only option) it will s-off, root, and unlock everything that is necessary to install the custom recovery and ROM.

So my questions are this:

I'm terrified of freezing/boot-loops because this is the first phone I'd be rooting without the ability of popping the battery out for a hard restart. Is it safe to modify this phone? Are there usually any issues?

Will SunShine do everything that I need to go from a stock Verizon HTC One to being able to flash CWM and CM11?

Are there any good tutorials on doing this with the latest updated Verizon HTC One M7? A lot of the tutorials I find seem to be outdated.

If the answer to the second question is yes, then all I need to do is purchase SunShine, follow install instructions for CWM, and follow install instructions for CM11, correct?

Thanks for your time and putting up with my stupid questions.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draugh:
I recently bought a second hand Z2, and the first thing I did was root it via this guide. The second thing I did was check that it actually, you know, worked (yes, I'm an idiot, I know this); that's where I ran into an issue. I was unable to rotate the screen, and my brightness wouldn't auto adjust, so I downloaded AndroSensor to check things out. According to AndroSensor, the only sensors I have are Location, Battery Status, Sound Level and Date - Time. I have no Light Sensor, no Accelerometer, no Proximity Sensor, etc.

My question is, is it possible I did this myself, through some kind of screwup in rooting? I've re-flashed the original firmware back on, with no difference, but my concern is that maybe I've accidentally stomped on some secret partition I'm not aware of. Alternatively, is this likely to be covered by the warranty (assuming no water damage, I guess)? Trying to work out my next steps. Thanks!
