tuga browser works great for blocking ads and syncs all your google settings, plus it uses optimized CAF sources for snapdragon meaning its quicker then chrome

also i use my phone without rooting, i dont miss root to be honest. having a stable working phone with good battery life is worth it to me over a few tweaks. i honestly dont really miss root. i only really missed adblocker but 3rd party browsers have solved that for me.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] MechaBouncer:
Funny story. I've been running without root almost as long as I've had my Z3C. It was quite a change, but I didn't want to risk wiping the DRM keys, so I let it be. It wasn't until the .575 root method was found that I actually rooted my phone. I learned to live without it for most things. Even figured out how to do what I needed to with Tasker and ADB instead that didn't need root. Considering that using root is becoming more and more of an uphill battle, I'm going to try and not come back to it if I don't have to. Because as soon as I do, then I have even more hoops to jump through in order to dodge root detection in several of my apps and games. The work needed to work around it just about negates the convenience of having it for me now.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PuffDaddy_d:
Yes, adb commands became very valuable to me when I wasn't rooted. But as you mentioned, it is getting harder to root new phones these days, so it makes me more careful about the device I buy. It has to be nearly perfect in order to keep me happy until a safe root method is achieved, if ever.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Robot76:
I would kill myself!

I need to root, because no one can have higher permissions than I.

?

I need root to:

I want Music to be Walkman again.

I often need to see my WiFi passwords.

Change my DNS without running an extra service.

Run a firewall.

Tweak my kernel settings for greater response time and longer battery life.

To make my apps sleep immediately when not in use.

To remove all advertising/spam, and keep out unwanted salesman. Just like my office!

To theme all my apps and phone seamlessly.

To add new ssd commands for faster loading and writing.

I don't like people seeing my Album art.

I like to know when an app looks at my face via the camera without my knowledge.

I like all downloads redirected to my download manager.

I want specified what app sees what personal information.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] charliebigpot:
I highlited the ones that make it important for me :highfive:

For me it's especially and almost exclusively about the privacy and being able to select/deselect what any app sees and transmits from my phone.

I "survived" without root for several weeks as well, it always depends on the phone performance/bloat. For me it's more about the opportunity to be able to do it. Sometimes I can't be bothered to block an app at autostart, but it's good to know that if I can do so if I want to.

I think the root isn't essential to mod your phone. I've already spent a year without root lol but i'm back since month ago

Hey im wanting to go back to stock unrooted to get the ota that just dropped here in NZ. Its not on sammobile or anywhere and i hate waiting.

Now my question is this:

If i make a data backup in twrp can i put that back on after i reroot etc?

Also is this the correct procedure to go back to stock (never done it before... never had too)

Flash AP of my stock rom in odin? Nothing else?

That will kill my twrp wont it as it will flash back the stock recovery?

Phone will be able to OTA even though i was previously rooted?

Will i need to wipe my data etc to go back to stock completly if so how?

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentvoice84:
Greetings,

I have to ask if the new marshmallow update is better than lollipop? After kitkat the mobile had the storage problem from the update, eating up 6.16 GB of space out of 8.00 GB, I dont want to update this software and end up with losing more space than I already have lost, If anyone can give me a review of it I would appreciate it.

Also Is there any official HTC Desire 816 Dual Sim files can be downloaded for marshmallow without going through OTA?

best regards.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhishek2409:
Yes Marshmallow is better than Lolipop

In Marshamallow

Sd Card can be treated as internal storage

Smooth Ui

Battery Drainage problem is less

More Permissions for apps
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steppinthrax:
Hell yes,

Biggest thing is the ability to format a SD card as internal storage. With this ability you can put in a 128GB class 10 SD card and format it as internal. Then you pretty much have like 200Gigs of space. The biggest thing on these phones is the space constriction. Android 5.0 allowed you to move "some" applications, 6.0 pretty much blends your SD storage with internal.

The UI is smoother and more refined.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ganesh.kannan13:

Why not just assign it with your router? The result is essentially the same, if your router has the mapping, your phone will always get that IP.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williamvito:
Background:

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (Sprint T807P)

Stock ROM (rooted)

This was a case of me not leaving well enough alone but I downloaded a Battery Calibration App (Root) app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitula.batterycalibration&hl=en, and decided to give it a shot to possibly help my battery life.

Well, I charged to 100%, and hit the calibrate option and allowed a full discharge to 100%. I then plugged in my Tab and didn't bother with it until the next day. It was during the boot that I noticed it was only at about 71%, changed chargers to another 2.1 amp Samsung OEM adapter and proceeded to use it while plugged in and noticed it was still discharging. I then turned it off and noticed the EXTREMELY slow charging.

While I still had enough juice I flashed it back to the latest stock OEM build in case something has messed up in the ROM itself. After leaving it stock without even configuring the issue still remains. Very rarely do I blame an app for a possible hardware issue, especially after reverting to stock, but that's where I am currently at. From 0% to 100% takes approximately 25 hours (HA!).

I even opened the Tab up and removed/reseated the battery to no improvement.

Anyone have a similar issue with a definitive result?

If the battery is shot I can suck it up and buy another one, just want to know if there is any thing else I can do.

No, if it was bought from Google and you were using the official charger, contact Google for a replacement:

https://support.google.com/store/answer/6178715?rd=1

I see you're in Wales, so you can quote the UK Sale of Goods Act if necessary - "fit for purpose". And we have up to six years if the fault is inherent in the design. But when I contacted Google about my N5 after 18 months, they replaced it without a quibble - in my case at least good customer service and a sense of corporate responsibility.

I!??!?! why!?!?!?!??!
[Huawei MediaPad M2] beast.in.black:
Depends on the definition of "brick".

As explained in this thread, I had a situation where the main ROM would not boot; it would just be stuck at the Mediapad M2 boot logo. However, I was still able to access recovery and fastboot modes. So I was able to recover from the brick situation by flashing the BOOT.img, DATA.img and SYSTEM.img from an 801L on my 802L ( I had not yet found an official 802L ROM). Even though my phone model became "801L", it still worked for me. Later, after much hunting around I found an official 802L ROM (B003), flashed it on my phone and got back to a standard stock phone configuration.

In another situation, I had a constant boot-loop problem after installing SuperSU 2.79 as the root app on Marshmallow ROM build B207. The phone would boot up, show the "Mediapad M2" boot logo, then reboot immediately. This kept on happening. However, like before I was still able to access recovery and fastboot modes so I was able to repair the situation in the same manner as described above. That is why I finally wrote this guide - to help other people who may be in the same situation.

[Verizon LG G5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ixstala:
It seems Verizon disabled a bunch of useful features that are included on the other carriers software variant. This includes the LG smart world themes. You can get these back pretty easily, it's a similar process that was used on the G4 & G3, and works on the G5 see here:

Since we don't yet have root, and Knock-off's utility is greatly reduced with 3rd party launchers (restricted to notification area), you may find the themes on smartworld a boon to liven up your device.

There are also a bunch of other interesting menus/settings, which are normally hidden, that you can access with an app called "Activity Launcher". Just set the menu to "All Activities" and look around, there's an interesting setting for the auto brightness among others.

how do I get Home UX 4.0
[Verizon LG G5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudyo78427:
You will need to download the LG SmartWorld APK file. From chrome browser on your phone, navigate to www.lgworld.com. Before you download the app/ apk file, go to the security settings and ensure that 'Unknown Sources' selection is set to ON. this is because the app is not from the google play store. After you confirmed the security setting is to allow the app to load, go to the website I listed above. Follow the on screen instructions to select the region and language you will use. after that the window should populate with the Download LG SmartWorld selection. Select it and you will see the pop up notification to start the download. After download is complete, another pop up will show to Install the app on you device. select Yes.

Once the app is installed, open the SmartWorld app. Your going to have to download the UX4.0 home screen. You may need to create a log in. Upon start up of the app, there will be a pop up display instructing how to get the 4.0 Home screen. After that, you can follow the instructions listed in the OP of this thread. Hope this helps. :good:
