People were saying Xposed and Viper were working which are huge. I went back because I want the old SNote functionality and this phone is so good I can live without it, but...

This just started. Every day these guys make a major improvement. A week from now we may have better than both worlds and be rooted, so withhold judgement, I would.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] drbveb88:
I've been rooting for years. It's a personal preference. I hate all the white on my phone. Using inverted apps, along with Custom Kernels really enhanced battery life for me. Of course adaway is awesome but there are alternatives. Inverted apps, Viper and status bar options are my rooting wants. Getting rid of the annoying volume warning, center my clock, ....... Damn there are a lot of reasons to root. Lol
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] brentsalinas714:
No it does not have greenify built in. Having the system only putting apps to sleep in 3 days is not greenify. Greenify is an on the fly app sleeper as well you can also greenify system apps.

Try using greenify app and a system tuner like 3c .

The main reason I always rooted my phones was to use titanium backup. Had it back up the phone to the SD card every night. Saved me a couple of times. But after 2 years on the note 4 without root, I've learned to live without it. And now that I've started using Samsung Pay, I doubt I'll bother.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] seh6183:
Samsung cloud backup does exactly what titanium does now. They are systematically removing all of our desires to root one by one. It's fine with me really. I just want to be able to install kernels. Then again those are getting so good it's not really a huge deal anymore.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] spinedoc:
It's a shame we lose so much with root, too much for it to be worth it IMO. Samsung/Android pay, VoLte, wifi calling, etc. The only thing I miss about root is xposed and a few of the modules, otherwise you can do most of that stuff on an unrooted phone.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] ticholas:
VoLTE works fine with root. At least for me.

I disagree (but to each their own) with adguard being as good as/the same as using adaway/adfree, before rooting I tried adguard and found it to be too cumbersome and limited in it's effects against ads. When using adguard I ran into multiple instances of not being able to load many web pages or secured connections like online shopping being inappropriately blocked when that would not happen with the latter. But again, to each their own.

For me: Root > no Root.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] seh6183:
Why wouldn't wifi calling or volte work?
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] johnjay829:
Is samsung cloud available for verizon note 7
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] seh6183:
No but there should be a way to get it back.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] spinedoc:
VoLTE is working? That's good. I hope someone can get wifi calling to work, if I can't make a call then root won't help me. I don't have any issues with Adguard, but I hate the little icon so I usually just use the Samsung browser with the adblock extension, works perfectly. There is also a non root method to block ads that's not difficult and doesn't even involve any apps or extensions. Samsung pay is also a big deal as I use it a lot and love it.

Don't get me wrong, if root worked with all the stuff I need I'd do it in a second. I definitely miss some xposed modules, but more out of convenience than any real necessity.

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

wifi calling doesn't work from what I've read, but I can't say from personal experience. I haven't looked at the thread in a couple of days so it's possible someone got it to work since then.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] seh6183:
It keeps slipping my mind that in order to root we have to flash some crazy build of Android and that's why things break.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] teegunn:
This is the first android phone I haven't rooted right out of the box. I didn't expect root to be achieved, am surprised it is. I am waiting to root to let the root method mature a bit and let the dev's get a chance to get everything working right. I will probably root after it is all said and done though.

I don't think the non-root adaway options are nearly as good. I have always used Titanium pro for my backups and while I did get Helium to move most of my apps AND their data (the important part), it was a PITA and a very time consuming process. I would have migrated everything over with titanium far faster and better. There were some apps helium wouldn't back up and/or restore. There are also other benefits to rooting. Getting rid of annoying popups (like the volume warning), being able to customize the notification bar, being able to install many different custom options - like the dual speaker option that I could flash if I had root. There are many reasons to still have root, and I will likely eventually root once the process is refined for the N7.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] FaithOmitted:
Does nobody else use a firewall/IPtables app like AFWall?

I agree with others that Titanium and AdAway are huge selling points of root. I also occasionally need access to system files that I can't even see when I'm not root.

I think most users don't need it (especially with the speed with which manufacturers release patches), but I have always gone "root" as far back as PPC devices and consider it a must-have option.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] raduque:
Samsung Pay and Gear VR are the main reasons i am not going to root. The only reason I was considering rooting, was to remove the volume warning.

[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Lord Syrics Jr.:
Hey guys, on HTC now, kinda missing the note and they are definitely sharp looking phones. I would want to root to delete apps all together (fu vzw and in several cases Samsung) and speed up performance. I don't use Samsung pay or digital pay so far. Idk the full difference between Samsung and regular pay. Im reading that the "Gears" no longer work though. Is this true for all android wear or only the Samsung specific ones?

[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] car.los.7399:
You think by deleting 5 or so Verizon apps is going to speed up your phones performance? The games it came with can be uninstalled and the Verizon apps can be disabled. Performance increase, probably not.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Lord Syrics Jr.:
No i don't think deleting them will speed it up. I said AND speed it up (by tweaking the tune on the c/gpu) but thanks. My original question still stands

Hey guys, I have no idea what I'm doing, so I'm wondering if anyone else has compiled a flashable Aosp or near-aosp build of android 7.0? I'm currently on PureNexus, and I'm looking for a very minimal ROM as it's the only way to reduce the lag on this low memory device we all know and love (hate?). Thanks!
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeff_in_LA:
I'm 100% with you on this. Minimum is best. I was wondering where the homecooked 7.0s are too.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astralbee:
Way too soon for a stable aosp build.

You'll probably see a flashable, pre-rooted stock rom appear first. Often these are tweaked, debloated etc so can be quite minimal.

Experimental aosp builds will likely emerge soon too but if you're the type to moan about roms not appearing fast enough and the low memory of a device you bought then you likely won't like bugs either. Maybe wait for a bit.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] diegoweb:
Hey guys :D

As a lot of you guys know, there is a dual sim version of S7 for some markets.

Although, for those who aren't from those places, can't have the opportunity to buy the dual sim version.

In the good days, there used to be a card sim adapter to transform Single Sim phones into Dual/Triple Sim.

My question is: I know there is a brand called Simore that sells those sim card adapter (as shown below), but... it requires S7 to reboot everytime you wanna change the active SimCard. Is there a workaround to that (even for root required)?

Or anyone know a brand that sells those adapter with better software without needing to restart for changing the active sim card?

I know there are better solutions like bluetooth adapters and so on. But I just want MY PHONE on the pocket, nothing else. So those adapter would fit me better, right?

Take a look:

btw: This simore version is pricey. 50 euros for a piece os plastic...

Hi,

My phone was rooted with TWRP installed. Then I decided to go back to my Stock Rom as I was not receiving OTA updates. But in the process, I messed up the things and accidentally deleted my OS too. Then I found this ROM https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B5uo5LCdnblrVlhsRmdyeDRYV1E&export=download. I renamed the zip file as "update.zip". Then, I followed the instructions by eg0097 described here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2662719&page=2 and entered the commands in fastboot mode. But this deleted my TWRP. However, I am able to access stock recovery and trying to install stock rom using adb sideload. I downloaded ROM from here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4Cs-21Ur-CARW9hazNLajduQWs/edit and entered into stock recovery mode. There using apply update from ADB. I entered command in command Prompt: "adb sideload MGXT1032DV1.zip". After copying 100% to the device. I get the "Installation Aborted" after "Verifying Update Package".

Am I doing something wrong. Please help.

Hi Guys. Many of us are facing low internal memory problem on Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015 Models). After installing few apps and games the internal memory becomes almost full. Ever wished that if we can move apps data files and games obb files to Sd card. Well now we can do it by simply installing xposed framework and few xposed apps.

In this tutorial I am going to tell you how to move apps data file, obb files etc to sd card. Follow the instruction given below.

Requirements:

1)	Rooted J5 phone.

2)	TWRP recovery installed

3)	Xposed framework installed.

Procedure:

1)	If you did not meet above given requirement than go to the link given below and download TWRP, Supersu, Xposed. Flash TWRP via Odin and root using Supersu zip and install Xposed.

2)	Now open xposed and go to download and download two xposed apps (i) Obb On Sd (ii) XInternalSD.

3)	After installing these two apps go to modules section an activate these modules and reboot your device.

4)	Once you device is rebooted open obb on sd app and enable (i) Data on SD and (ii) Detect SD on Android 5/6.

5)	Now open XInternalSD app and enable (i) Custom path to internal SD Card (ii) Full access to external SD card. In path to internal SD card there should be /storage/extSdCard/. If it is not than make it. Now you can enable it for all apps or enable it for particular apps using enable for apps option.

6)	That’s it now you can move your games obb files to SD card/Android/obb and data files of apps to sd card/Android/data. Your games and apps will read those files from sd card.

7)	Enjoy.

Downloads

1. Download the TWRP recovery from the link below.

Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) ( Thanks [MENTION=5882401]Nick Verse[/MENTION] for TWRP recovery)

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3338869

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j500f-t3416960

2. Download Supersu zip from the link below

https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/

3. Xposed from the link below.

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960

Note: Flashing TWRP and Supersu will void your warranty. So think before you flash. After flashing TWRP do a nandroid backup first before flashing anything (even supersu file) so that if anything goes wrong you can restore back.

And most important do everything on your own risk. I will not be responsible to any damage made to your device. But if you follow the process carefully you will not face any problem.

Hope this tutorial will help you all.

Do write your comments and Hit thanks if it helped you;)

from storage-->emulated-->0-->Android --> data--> (this is my internal storage)

i move to storage-->sdcard1-->Android-->data. ( this is my sd card)

But after i start a programe (lets say facebook) it works but when i check again the storage-->emulated-->0-->Android --> data-->

i find the com.facebook.orca .

the same think is NOT happening to the storage-->emulated-->0-->Anroid-->obb-- (thanks God)

i did move data and obb only from this folder storage-->emulated-->0-->Anroid-->

i should move and others?

Try to use root explorer to move files. And yes all application might not work but big games and some apps files will work .

Low internal memory problem of J5 can be solved effectively with Partition. External sd card can be partitioned and a part of the sd card can be converted into internal storage. There are many apps for doing this.:)

i have tried this using mini partition tool, i formatted my sdcard partion to ext 2 but when i inserted the card to the device it showed as corrupted sdcard. also link2sd didnt work. i tried reformatting the sdcard to ext4 but the same problem. it is most likely because of MM.

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00363:
Sorry i can't give you a step by step guide because i haven't tried it myself on MM. I have only read about it. But you can try two things - Firstly try the app 'Apps2sd' and secondly if the app does not work then you can try adb command line method which has helped many people. Adb method has a higher chance of success. If these two methods also don't work then i think it's impossible to do it now.
