[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Zolares:
I've already stopped rooting my phone for over 5 years already :)

I, for one, have not missed root much primarily since I've seen a friend fall victim to a malicious app that was granted root access. Truthfully, its quite terrifying about all the things a root app has access to.

Anyway, to answer your questions:

1. This one, try Helium by ClockworkMod. I trust you've recognized the Developer name :P

Helium is touted as a non-root app that will backup apps along with their app data.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup

2. For non-root system-wide ad blocking, I believe the only method right now is to use an app like AdClear or AdGuard.

Both of these services creates a local VPN on your device to detect and filter any ad traffic.

I have yet to try AdGuard because I've had very good results with AdClear.

Both of these can be found on XDA.

Both of these aren't exactly the same as what you're used to, but then again, you wanted workarounds.

I've made a quick search and Helium appears to work great with the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, which should mean the probability of it working well for Note7 is also high.

If you have a spare non-root phone, feel free to give these both a try and see if they're satisfactory alternatives for your needs.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mankvl:
Samsung browser supports adblocking https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.crystalapp.crystal maybe there is some other apps to for just browser? If u want apps to block ads you will need a better app like AdClear that is free or even get the AdGuard pay for cheap:
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] cadcamaro:
I was about to recommend adguard but I've never heard of adClear. It's actually much better. As for helium, I think it's pretty neat except it doesn't backup system app info.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Samzebian:
best advice for really disabling apps (better than the disable option in settings) is package disabler pro.

Works only on samsung phones but works wonders.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Corbitt74:
Cool, I'll try it. I was gonna ask about package disabler.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] DionWhite33:
I bought the Note Edge a couple years back when the Note 4 came out.. coming from a T-Mobile rooted Note 3 it was rough because I bought a T-Mobile version and the guy sent me an AT&T unlocked off Ebay... so though it was on lock the TMobile the bootloader was locked and I could not root. I hated every minute with that phone so I only had it for 3 weeks. I ended up selling it taking $100 loss to read by an authentic T-Mobile version. Not until then was I happy. I just read that the LG G5 at T-Mobile is now locking their bootloaders! I wish Samsung would put some development time in and make an unlocker for those of us that want it if not I'm just going to return my phone take the $50 loss that comes with it for the restocking fee. Then by an international version which I've already seen can obtain root.

This is really breaking my heart due to the fact that I was in an accident a few years back that left me almost paralyzed though I walk now I can barely walk no I work I can barely work I'm on full disability so to take away my one hop which is routing and playing with custom roms really really bums me out... especially since I've had every Samsung Galaxy Note ever made...plus the Tab S and Tab S2...

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

We should ALL keep petitioning for TMOBILE to continue to help with an unlocking tool!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] naruto.ninjakid:
Yeah I need an alternative to viper4android. I don't think I can go without root and will be getting the international version.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] MJB_One:
I'll try it too, thanks!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] MJB_One:
Great recommendations, thank you! I recall having tried Helium on my HTC One M8 a couple of years ago before I'd rooted it. It didn't work too well for me back then, but perhaps It's gotten better, so I'll give it another look.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] MJB_One:
Hmm, I hadn't considered ADB to computer backup. Wonder if that'll actually work.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] DionWhite33:
I was in another room about locked Bootloaders on this phone... technically no it has a real answer but there's a bunch of little babies and their whining about how it's like get over it move on get over it blah blah blah. But the real fact is they don't have the phone they don't have the money for the phone they don't have the intelligence to root the phone

I'm just going to wait for ups and move on get to work ...Xda is turning into YouTube with trollers
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] omf05:
My main apps without root.

1. Adguard (I've found it to be the best over the other VPN Ad Blockers) Block's everything.

2. Package Disabler Pro (blocks all bloatware apps from running)

3 For backups there are few that all do the same thing like many poster have said.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] probablecauzdnb:
sorry if i am already a little late to the party but what can't you/shouldn't you root a note 7?? i wasn't aware of that. what does it do to the phone if you do root it. i have seen a few posts of people rooting them. sorry if this has been discussed before.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ARNOB:
For me the reason is it trips knox for which you will lose samsung pay forever.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ResonanceZero:
I have to admit, I'm genuinely curious as to why you think Samsung Pay is a killer feature. If you don't mind my asking, what country are you in, and why don't cards work for you?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Zolares:
It would also get rid of the Secure Folder feature since that is Knox dependent too.

Although I've only gotten the Note7 for a day, that Secure Folder has already become indispensable.

Even if I haven't stopped rooting for years, I believe I would still sacrifice root any day to keep that Secure Folder feature.

Not sure if there's a root alternative to the Secure Folder's features or if it'll one day be possible, but rooting exposes too much security risks anyway. If I was rooted, I wouldn't trust the Secure Folder as much as I would have while unrooted.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ResonanceZero:
Secure Folder is a bit more understandable, though I have exactly the opposite reaction to you -- I consider an unrooted phone an incredible security risk, as I have absolutely no control over its internals, and I don't trust the Secure Folder because it appears to be insecure by design (allows biometric unlock). Losing the ability to restore older versions of apps, freeze preinstalled apps, modify the hosts file (for domain blocking), or run a firewall that can't be bypassed is kind of a dealbreaker to me.

I can at least understand people who feel otherwise, though. The Samsung Pay bit was what made me stop and ask, because it's the first time I've ever seen someone who actually thought it was valuable, and I was really curious about why.

[Verizon LG G3] cory733:
I can still boot up the phone into cm13. It is a vs985. Have an issue with data on cm13 and tried to factory reset from the phones settings instead of twrp. It restarted into a boot loop where only the TWRP screen keeps looping. If i boot it normal it boots up fine.

I dont even remember how i rooted and installed twrp originally, it was a while ago. Im going to look into it now but before i start experimenting and trying things like flashify i wanted to make sure this wasnt a known issue with certain mistakes to avoid.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'd flash the 10B TOT, reroot with the Stump app, put TWRP on with TWRP Manager from the Play Store and start fresh.
[Verizon LG G3] cory733:
Before I saw this I got impatient and just used flashify. Got the newer TWRP 3.0 and it went through no problem. Is this a known issue that you can't factory reset from within cm or is it just a bug that i encountered?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Glad you solved it. I knew that was possibly the solution but since I didn't know for sure what exactly CM did when you tried it's factory reset, I didn't know for sure it would be that simple. I don't play with non-Stock anymore, so I don't know the answer to your question. If no one answers this here, I'd suggest asking in the VS985 CM13 thread. Non-stock in general is always too buggy for me. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] androidddaaron:
Was wondering if we had a camera mod ever that worked for the g920t on 6.0.1 MM.

I know there' was one international version for 5.1.1 way back when but noone ever claimed it worked for 920t.

Tmo S5 had working camera mod just wondering if it exists for s6 and where Link?

Thanks xda
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] V0latyle:
Check out XtreStoLite. DeoMod 3.3 is based on the G920F DPDP firmware (yes, it is 6.0.1). While flashing via Aroma, it includes an option to flash extra camera modes. These are not actually installed; they are saved in a folder in your storage as .apk files, which you can install, and which will then show up as additional modes for your camera.

If you don't want to flash a ROM, you could download the .zip and go digging for the APK's....extract them and install them.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wamjamslam:
Hey, so I was messing around with my phone and using TWRP, I deleted the original ROM and then, having forgotten that I'd deleted the ROM, tried to reboot the phone. My phone is now stuck on the HTC splash screen (which at the bottom has the text "This build is for development purposes only...") and won't turn off, despite me holding the power button for probably 1+ minutes. I'm planning to wait until the battery dies, then once I can boot again try to get into TWRP by holding the power button and volume down. Does anyone know if there's a way I can get to TWRP without having to wait until the battery dies (my phone is at full charge), or whether this will not work and I should try something else?

Thanks in advance!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Press and hold power & volume up buttons until the screen turn black then release both buttons and quickly press & hold volume down button only. This will get you to hboot

i updated via odin,all went smoothly no errors no issue occurred,used all the bl/pa/cp and csc files,now here comes the issue,ofc u guys know that using csc and not home_csc causes phone to f.reset and that's what happened,now,usually when i do f.reset i prefer to have a totally fresh start meaning that i create new email,new samsung email,basically i start like i've never owned an email before,every time i did so (before updating via odin), i started with no apps in 'my apps' in the app store until i setup the on-device apps (watsapp-facebook-youtube...,ets) these apps always require update before using, thats why i see them listed in 'my apps' section after installing their updates,and after about 24 i get a notification about updates available and there i can find the rest of apps on my device (chrome-android system webview-skype...ets) in 'my apps' section to update them,now after using odin it has been about 48 since the f.reset and i still don't get any notification and there's no apps in 'my apps' section expect for apps that needed update before start (watsapp,faceboook..) however i started most of on-device apps,now what should i do???

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Diznario:
Right on, thanks. Glad you guys like it.

Yeah, I'd like to make that my startup screen too... =P

I made it and then realized I didn't know how to change the splash screen. Ahh well. I'm sure the instructions are on the board somewhere!

In the mean time, I decided to make a background based on this graphic...

It actually works out pretty well with the black theme and HTC Home.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
Nice Graphic, Here's it converted into a usable splash screen. It needs to be 320x320 24bit PNG file. Unzip it and copy it into your phone's windows folder.

You may need to use something like resco file explorer to change the original splash graphic (welcomehead96.png) to remove the read-only attribute so you can copy the new one in.

Have fun.

P.S. This is the "2nd" splash screen and comes up after the ROM splash.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Diznario:
Here's an updated version with the starfield background...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Diznario:
Oops... Just saw your post.

Hmmm.. Not sure I can do that with paint.NET, which is all I have installed on this box at the moment. It looks like it can save PNG files, but I have no idea if that's 24bit or what.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimsonSaber5G:
I want to buy a note 4, and was wondering:

What variant to buy? I was thinking T-Mobile

Snapdragon or Exynos? I heard Exynos has 64 bit, which kinda excites me.

Does the exynos one have better Note 5 marshmallow ports? I was considering this because exynos is 64 bit, so I am guessing it would run better.

Which one has better battery life? I am guessing the SD one?

Thank you all! Btw I am upgrading from my Note 3 running an S7 Edge Port.

When using my Axon 7, I noticed that whenever I long press the capacitive home button, it opens up Google voice. I'm using Nova Launcher on root and even though there is an option to change it, it doesn't work. Does anyone know how to change this?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tdgillihan:

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] B4oE:
I am sorry for any confusion. Let me explain more clearly. I am currently rooted. Also, I did not mean Google Voice.

I'll live. It really isn't a big deal. I just hope that someone has an answer.

Make sure you tap on the words "Assist & voice input" NOT on the gear icon. Then you should be able to change the setting to none. Then you can use Nova to make the changes you want.
[T-Mobile LG G3] BukkakeJockie:
I've had my phone for about a year now. Bought it unlocked as a tmobile phone then switched it to AT&T. Yesterday I decided to root. I first tried Kingroot which was a failure. Next I tried one click root. All went well until installing ADB drivers which it then said there's no method for my phone. I don't trust any random google search method so I'm wanting to know if there is an actual way or if I'm really stuck not being able to root?
[T-Mobile LG G3] SofaSpud:
An alternate method of rooting is to rollback to lollipop then rooting that. But it also depends on the revision of the main board. Later revisions are booby trapped against rollback.
