[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] galaxyYtester:
To think that you can stop Google or Facebook from spying on you with root is humorous, they don't care about you, unless you're in some terrorist group or something... There's a no-root adblocker for Samsung called Adhell, it works through modifying Knox, no VPNs, and works as well as any root adblocker. The S8 also has a built-in DAC that lets you modify sound settings like Viper
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mlock420:
All I need is viper4android but I'm on tmobile and when I rooted my s7e it was never the same so with that being said my note 4 is rooted with all that I need for listening to loud tunes or podcasts for work... and I'll be keeping my s8+ unrooted because it's just too smooth and lag free for me at the moment hoping it doesn't crap out in a couple months....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Crombi:
The reason I was going to root was so I could force the phone into LTE only mode, but the 4G switcher app works and does that so now I don't really have a need for root!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Eddiemc:
Rooting mainly for full automation through tasker. Shell commands, GPS, etc needs root. Being able to do per apps settings for full screen, battery/performance, timeout and hw buttons.

I guess bixby button remapping would be another reason for root.

Except for this it looks like there's not that many more reasons to root anymore..:

Adhell and Adblock plugin for Sammy browser should take care of advertisemens and as sound settings and other functions in the ROM seems very good this year, so I'm not too bummed out if root doesn't happen.

Always prefer XDA and Root ftw!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] droidx2.3.3:
I pretty much stopped flashing different roms when I got my note 4, not that I had a huge choice since root came late. But when I did flash a ton, it was just a stock debloated and tweaked one.

But my number one reason for root is ad blocking. I absolutely hate ads. So I really only want to root my new s8+ so I can run ad block and install xposed to get the YouTube adblocker.

How do all of you plan on rooting when the bootloader is locked?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
Perhaps they dont have snapdragons....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cpufrost:
An exploit has to be found. One can have root with a locked bootloader obviously.

Of course an unlocked bootloader allows us to flash recoveries, custom roms and other goodies.

I do miss Titanium.

And centered clock and custom icons.

Package disabler pro helps a lot.

I had to kill bixby. Hitting that button when trying to turn down the volume and having that interrupt me was really annoying.

I'd like to have that button dedicated to something.

But for now, it's a dummy.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] saifullah90:
try bixremap it launches bixby then a mili sec later opens google now , you just need to undisable bixby from package disabler first
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] saifullah90:
well once we got the chance i guess, but im skipping the root on s8 not necessary

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] RMXO:
I haven't had the need to root since the Note 5 & 7 days but I admit I miss V4Android, ADBlock and TiBackup.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] apoapostolov:
Titanium Backup, AdBlock, GMD Gesture Control (prev/next app with multi-finger swipes). Anything that makes Bixby button useful.

I must say even if no root is found for Exynos as well, I will somehow survive. I paid massive money for Disconnect Me Pro (don't judge me!), I have OGYouTube instead of Xposed YouTube Background Playback, Package Disabler Pro can slim the bloatware so I don't need to ROM anything slimmer. Samsung did great job with S8 being easy for the eyes, and actually useful out of the box. That is a massive achievement.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cantenna:
Yea im going to root, android sucks hard without viper4android! I actually had this thought yesterday, "this device is pretty good maybe I can live without root?" but then i listened to my music and nearly cried at the sound quality thats missng without viper4android.

This ****s getti g rooted as soon as its availble!

If google could just buy that devs product and implement it in stock, then I may go rootless... but even then...

Google is absoutly crazy not too! its right there for the picking and would seriously destroy apples offering!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cujo2344:
I really want titanium and free hotspot.

I am glad they allowed more apps in the multi window I used the root on that for my last two phones
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] thegameksk:
The DAC only works for me with the stock music player. Using youtube and Spotify with the phone speaker and my Bluetooth headphones it doesnt change the sound.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Zeal415:
sometimes there are apps that I really want, that require root, customization, modded apps, etc. I could not root my note 4 from at&t just cuz it was never possible, and I loved that phone. Only reason I even upgraded to the s8+ is because I bricked my note 4 by disabling samsung packages, which made it so I could not log into my samsung account from the phone, I did a factory reset, and the factory reset protection is now asking for the non-existent samsung account, and its pretty much ****ed.

I use AdClear to block ads, and im using OGYoutube app, with patched spotify, so im pretty happy.

Edit: I do miss my Viper though, that was a sweet app, but I can live without.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Illusive Man:
Just got my s8+ today and won't be rooting, as I use Samsung Pay often and don't want to lose that functionality. I didn't root my Note 5 for the same reason and was very satisfied with the phone (and this is after a long history of rooting every phone to tablet I had).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
No need to root a galaxy phone. Stock with Nova launcher is good enough for me. Besides I need to use samsung pay.

You know that a DAC is hardware right? And that iant something Viper will change.

The sound process software in the other hand it does..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cantenna:
The argument was DAC is compariable to viper4android and it is not! Did you mean to quote the other guy? Are we agreeing here?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ty8722:
Usually I would've rooted for adaway. Adblock plus takes care of that. Viper is a must imo. Air audio is used from my phone to kodi on my ftv. I came from a TMO note 5, so tethering undetected was a must. Now I have Verizon, that's a thing of the past.

Side note if anyone cares this is a speed test using my Prepaid tmo sim. Verizon only came in at 28 Mbs
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jam2315:
I need root for WiFi tethering is all unless someone finds a work around without root. As of now I just had to add Hotspot to my plan til we can it figured out. As everyone knows by now foxfi is out as of 7.1.2 uodate
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zone23:
It doesn't seem really necessary to root anymore with the ability to disable most apps and with the ability to give apps some admin privileges. Verizon versions I'm sure come with a lot of crap some of which probably can't be disabled. For me I would much rather have the bootloader unlocked so I can make/flash custom ROMs, but just root alone isn't all that important anymore. That said if a stable root came I would root in a heartbeat as long as it doesn't trip knox.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ilordvader:
I never ROOT my phones :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MacTheRipperr:
I use Google play music which comes with YouTube red packaged with it. So no ads there. I bought a license with adguard and I never see ads when it's active. The funny thing I have noticed is that people that have frozen or disabled apps or processes using package disabler pro have significantly worse battery life than those that don't. Needless to say, after rooting my s7 with that engineering bootloader and how many tweaks had to be done to get it to function correctly left me bitter. I am fully satisfied with my experience with the s8+ so far. I have never use v4a so I can't speak on that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mlock420:
I agree...and it's not just Android phones them little iPhones need viper4android as well lol....

Once stock Android became pretty much Impossible in non nexus devices I stopped caring about root. Maybe I miss some tasker tricks but that's about it. Root now isn't what it used to be.

On my G1, og droid or galaxy nexus I was flashing a new rom daily. Even on the LG g2 tons of options. If I had a pixel oh ya, but I missed that bus. Maybe pixel 2. Till then, im content with package disabler
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Spike96:
Pretty much everyone here says AdAway as a major reason they would like root.

Have you guys tried this: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...pps-without-root-extra-battery-drain-0174614/

DNS66, uses VPN but does not have the battery drain of AdGuard. I just installed it and I'll be testing it out now.

I'd rather not root if I don't have to, I don't want to be shut out of Samsung Pay, or other Knox related features.

Hi guys.

I am having troubles installing Busybox.

When I was on EMUI4.1 (b130) the process was smooth with busybox installer by stericson.

Now I upgraded to EMUI5 (b360), TWRP and rooted.

The installer tells me to change install location. I did it but every time is the same.

I checked if there was some busybox file/folder inside "/system/su" or "bin", but I cannot see anything.

I need busybox for some software I have that needs it...

Is there anyone who can give me a solution?

Thanks!! :):):)

Oh, the build #? What I meant by changes, I meant something bigger, like an interface change or fixing glitches. That's why I'm saying that I haven't noticed any changes. I know a version # will update somewhere, but what did the update actually do? That's what I don't know. I haven't tried to reconfigure the Bixby button, as I don't care to do so, so no idea if you can actually still remap it. I've heard no, but I have no firsthand experience on that.

S8+ here. I didn't have the prior version information saved but grabbed these after yesterday's ATT update. The 2nd screenshot is missing the battery capacity at the bottom (didn't fit in the grab) but that's static info anyway.

I'm guessing this is the update to inhibit Bixby button remapping but haven't tested.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] zyxw-androidiani:
This doesn't mean anything for Samsung! S7 has too led notification but it has AOD features. Only the new generation will have AOD official realase from Samsung couse if samsung bring the features of s7/s8 on this smatphone probably you will buy this one and you don't spend 700€ or maybe A 2017 series that cost more than A 2016 series. So don't wait AOD from samsung for A 2016 but hope that a developer can bring it!
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] micudavid:
After we get the nougat update, if it's not with AOD, we cand simply add it by instal this: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsun...lways-on-display-2-6-73-android-apk-download/ , and patch the settings app to show the settings

Of course + more services
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] zyxw-androidiani:
I don't know if is so simple, you have to add somethings on the kernel! This is the problem that our developers have not enough knowledge on the development to add AOD otherwise we wolud have AOD on MM customs rom.

Maybe on Nougat will be more simple but I don't know.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] narse:
Was using a Nexus 6P before my S8 and on that the Bluetooth connected symbol didn't appear when my watch was connected (i.e. the Bluetooth symbol appeared at the top of the screen​, but without the 2 little triangles on the left and right). On the S8 it has the triangles with just my watch connected, so they are there all the time. Does anyone know how to change this behaviour?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] @pulkit:
Can anyone help me in improving the sound quality and volume.

I tried Viper4android, Arise and Aural equalizer 2.0 but nothing seems to increase my speaker volume.

I am currently using Viper4android with Google play music and no matter what I hear with Viper4android, enabled or disabled, the sound volume remains same.

I have my kernel set permissive, V4A is installed as system app and the driver is properly installed.

Btw, the Processing is also on.

I am currently running Nx Experience 10.4 marshmallow rom..

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] fernandojhr:
Just install custom kernel (if you are in marshmallow install radon) and increase volume with kernel auditor.

I recommend you to try latest lineage and install radon/elementalx/franco so you can increase volume.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] bloodytolits:
Don't know about quality but it will increase the volume, that is if your kernel supports it.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/nitrogen-project/files/kenzo/KernelAdiutor%28flar_sound%29.apk/download

You can increase the volume in the sound section.

HI

Does anyone know if this update locks Bootloader?

I am on Unlocked Bootloader and have TWRP as well. Rooted with Magisk. Android 7.0 (v20a) Debloated Stock.

So I do not want to start that process again if this update locks Bootloader.

Any ideas?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] YannikM:
No update locks the bootloader, but I think you have to flash the stock recovery to update via fota.

Or you can download the flashable zip from [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION].
