Oh nice, this is a good solution because Viper keep failing on my device :/ . For the record, I use "doubletwist" and it tells me that I can't use its equilizer because there's a problem with the android equilizer (can't find them) or something, is this expected?
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
It's even better over v4a, what device/rom?

You'll likely need to disable any stock audio effects like MusicFX:

Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System > MusicFX > Disable

Reboot

I'm rocking an oldie Lg G-pro E980 with stock KK, just installed, lol. I know that this is not the place, but do you recommend me to use this or maybe I should be using one of your lastest viper files? I think those are for 5.0 and up?
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
No worries, just make sure that any apk's installed in /system/app and /system/priv-app are directly in those two folders and not inside app folders in those two locations.

Attached below is what I currently recommend for JB and KK

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] naiku:
Never happened with the Note 3 despite similar petitions, likely never going to happen with the S7 either. I do agree that if you own the phone outright (not on a lease from AT&T) then you should be able to do as you please with it and once you completed the lease then you should be allowed to unlock the bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoamanwtf:
I would like to say that technically through ATT it is not a lease, it is a payment plan. That would be like buying a house or a car not leasing in which case they are both considered yours right off the bat. Yes you are making payments on it but if the deal is done properly you will never return the phone to ATT making it yours, unlike a lease.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] naiku:
That is a very good point, however I can at least understand with AT&T that until you pay for that phone in full it is not considered yours. I would not be surprised if they have something in the fine print on the Next plan that says something to that effect. Note - I do agree with you entirely, I am paying for a phone and should be able to do whatever the heck I want with it.

If you're going to write a petition to these companies, you should run it through a proofreader and spell check. Nobody will take that seriously written the way it is.

What happens when this reaches 1500? With a locked bootloader aren't things such as root and safestrap still feasible?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] billydroid:
Yes root it possible. Not sure about safe strap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TekGadgt:
Root is still a longshot and I'd go as far as saying that safestrap won't happen at all. Look at the past, the AT&T S6 barely got root, still doesn't have more than like 2 ROMs, and is entirely dependent on one root method that supports two specific builds and an app called Flashfire. Samsung, on behalf of the carriers, is doing everything in their power to make rooting and custom ROMs an impossible feat. With that being said, let's take a look at the AT&T Note 5. It still has just received root from the same people who are supporting root on the S6 (from what I've seen, PingPongRoot was born and died with an earlier S6 build). The majority of the big devs who used to put in the work for supporting Samsung devices have all jumped ship to devices that aren't as heavily locked down. Unfortunately, I think the dev scene for Samsung devices that aren't the international or T-Mobile versions is pretty much dead (even the Tmo Note 5 isn't getting much love). The only redemption here is that the S7 uses a qualcomm processor, not an exynos, which is much more heavily documented, meaning that if someone is able to crack open the bootloader, the ROMs (and more importantly, the kernels) will be much easier to build. This is all just my 2 cents, I hope someone does accomplish the unthinkable and achieve all of this, but in the meantime, if you want to stick with Samsung, buckle up and enjoy the stock touchwiz. You'll probably be on it for a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] billydroid:
I agree with you. The real kicker for me is what T-Mobile is doing, which is my carrier. Almost every device on tmo had the ability to get root and be unlocked. But they are getting on board with Verizon and AT&T and requested devices be locked down. Then they lie to us and say it's the manufacturers. They had them lock down the LG g5, which LG always gave us a unlock method,.garbage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gj23:
I agree with you, I would love to sign a petition and I'm glad someone started one, but this petition has too many mistakes to even count. I doubt any company is going to take it very seriously. No disrespect intended to the person who wrote it, but it needs to be re-written.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] iHenry:
Best hope for us is for the mandatory arbitration clause to go away. That would enable a group of users to sue when a locked bootloader prevents them from upgraded their phone. Older phones are susceptible to vulnerabilities because AT&T doesn't continue to roll out updates and the locked bootloader prevents you from updating the phone on your own.

I could be wrong, but I think this could be a pathway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SirWise23:
In the history of these sites and smartphones I don't think any company has ever unlocked the bootloader for any petition, and there have been plenty of them. I don't think they ever will. As much as I agree that it shouldn't be locked, especially if you outright own the phone, this is just a lost cause.

Anyone know of a workaround for the Fios Mobile app checking root? It blocks streaming from the home DVR on rooted devices. Works fine on my Nexus 7 tablet thats stock. Someone had posted a modded mobile app that removed root check but it no longer works. The app now prompts you to update. I tried the Xposed module and RootCloak and they don't work.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I presume the Xposed module does the same thing as RootCloak? If that is the case and there are no other alternatives, then I guess you will have to bite the bullet and unroot if you want to use the app.

That is a limitation of sending videos via text/mms. Depending on the size of the video, you will have better luck emailing or uploading the video to Google Drive, then sending the intended recipient a link to download it. If under 20MB, then email will work, but will be slow to send. If you have a google account, which you do, Google Drive is free.

This was prior to rooting.

I rooted it since then, but the battery hasn't improved in my case, I consider it worse. I'm using MyAndroidTools (lots of services and receivers disabled) and Amplify (lots of wakelocks and alarms limited). I checked with BetterBatteryStats, but nothing was behaving badly afterwards. Yet, the bettery life hasn't been improved with all that tweaking, I couldn't even reproduce the time from the post above.

Yet, the tweaking might help someone else, mine waz heavily debloated before (Debloater) and I don't use resident services (messengers etc).

Petition
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] kennypow3rs:
Dude, there's honestly no point. Ive been on xda for about 10 years and ive always need to root every single android phone ive owned. Until recently, Samsung started making pretty good android phones starting with the s6 and up. I had no reason to root my s6, note 5, and now no reason to root my s7 edge. Im not saying you should have no need to root yours, i just feel like Samsung and android have come a long way and nowadays rooting serves no purpose;for me at least. Is rooting worth losing Samsung pay or any other security features we need to protect us? Not really. Also, Samsung can change their policies as they please, you still bought their phone. Rooting died a couple years ago, move on. Best of luck with your petition.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Sim-X:
No point is simply just not true. I haven't even looked at a Samsung until the S6 last year and I got the M9 instead. Now with HTC dumping boomsound on the M10 I switched after 8 HTC phones. While I agree Samsung has come a long way not only in hardware but software and you can do more things now without root I still miss it a lot. Have this phone a week now, not having root sucks. It's just not the same. While yes you can do quite a bit without it, there is still plenty missing. People saying that root is dead or they don't need it is just denial for the fact that things have got so locked down it's not worth justifying the hassle which might just be true.

Let's say knox was never developed, triangle away still worked so you could also go back to stock and you could flash away with an unlocked bootloader everyone would be singing a totally different tune and you guys would be rooted. Now that Samsung has total control, we have to justify it to ourselves on why it makes sense not to root which frankly right now I think is the case.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] brendan802:
Its all good if you have no interest then that's fine but I for one do. I hate touchjiz and the bloatware that is just the tip of the iceberg. Rooting will never die maybe some people don't but most that have rooted will always want it. Thanks for your input though. Without root we really don't have any need for a development section so this forum will likely die. I'm jumping ship to the lg g5 until samsung does something if they ever do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] El.Dante565:
I personally have no problem with Samsung locking things down. In fact for the general pop it will be great, but since we live in the free world it Samsung should still allow the option of choice. As long as they have the proper disclaimer in place that warns of consequences the one can make the decision. I think the big reason for the locked bootloader has to do with carriers leasing the phones. Since rooting breaks the pay app and can't reversed. Just imagine if you got a previous leased phone and the pay app doesn't work. What samsung should do is allow for a complete reset factory action including knox. Maybe not have it available to the general public but maybe the carriers or somewhere higher up. This would give the best of both worlds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] DreamingWolf:
Dude you've been here 5 years. I've been here 7. Neither of which matters. Rooting didn't die any more than rock and roll did when disco came along.

I drive a semi and without root I can't get the headphone, or bluetooth, volumes high enough when running through the trucks stereo. And before you start talking about headphones, those that cover both ears are illegal and i don't like listening through only one ear. So I want root. If you don't that's wonderful for you, but please don't step onto a developers board, claim seniority you just don't have, and try to tell people the board has become meaningless.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] kennypow3rs:
This is my second account ive definitely been here since the palm and original HTC touch days with Windows pocket lol. But to the point, rooting is dead per se, but there's definitely less of a reason to do so these days. Touch wiz is damn near perfect. Even for those thay dont like it can slap a launcher on it. I see no purpose to root, i can block ads with ad guard. Also stock android doesnt have all the bells and whistles either so id rsther stay stock. Again, i know others may need it, but i was simply saying its pointless thess days. I still come here for many other things, just not to root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] DreamingWolf:
I stand corrected.

Are not 'needed' and 'pointless' antonyms? You just refuted your own statement.

And I don't use stock android. I use rooted and modded versions of Sprint's base ROM. The only stock versions I have truly liked and used are by Temesek, and those tend to be few and far between on Sprint variants.

I also never use Touchwiz. It's been NovaLauncher for years now for me. And I just prefer all the little conveniences and tweaks that you can make with root. Like an extended power menu without having to add more apps from Google Play. And several diagnostic tools I use to troubleshoot when I have a weak or slow signal where I shouldn't.

So I'm really happy that your content to live with what Samsung and Sprint deign to allow you, I'm not. And since these boards seem to be doing just fine, I would guess that there are enough people who agree with me to make your opinion not nearly as wide spread as you believe it to be.

And one final question, if you believe rooting is pointless and dead, why are you still on these boards?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] kennypow3rs:
I still come here for other things, like questions i may have, apps, reviews, and ive been here for so long i still help others when i can. Its still a community i am apart of regardless if i root or not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Nitefall:
Root or not to root is a matter of opinion, I think it is far from dead or useless imo.

I have rooted every phone I have ever had that it was capable on within 24 hours of getting the phone just because I want to put on the phone what I want not what Samsung thinks I want.

I don't fit well with the masses and rooting let's me be that way with my phone....

That said this has been seen before on other devices and has been worked around by the amazing devs on this sight.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] mkeller96:
Rooting will never die unless the manufacturers kill it. It has too much of a following with people that love to root and need to root. So yes no root is a huge deal for me I'm coming from a Nexus 6 where I had multirom and weekly updates. The phone never gets boring when it is unleashed and rootable. I have had the Edge for about a week and I'm already bored/frustrated with it. I'm going to the Sprint store today to try and return it. My Nexus 6 flies compared to the S7 Edge even though its specs are way better. Hardware can only get you so far the software is what makes the phone fly. The stock S7 Edge has so much BS bloatware and unneeded stuff that slows it down significantly. Give me the international one and maybe I would keep it. Also, the Samsung pay is a joke for me because it doesn't support any of my banks or cards. I will be preordering the LG G5 or waiting for the next Nexus.
