Was hoping to learn what folks are using root for. I am using substratum but would love to have an advanced power menu but wasn't sure where to look. Would also love some ideas of what others are using root for, for ideas. Thanks!

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] vergilbt:
No

Doesn't look like viper works for oreo either? So what yall do on oreo after rooting?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] vergilbt:
Tasker, adaway, root Explorer and deleting unnecessary apps?

There are a lot of needs...

And viper4android. But unfortunately I didn't install it (I'm used to use the Magisk module)

Anybody is running viper?

What are folks using for advanced power menu on oreo?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] nrage23:
I was rooted on 7.1.1 for Substratum. I am on 8.0 and unrooted since Substratum works without root on Oreo.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] 12paq:
Oreo, rooted.

•Magisk + testing Magisk modules that might work with Oreo

•RootExplorer

•Android pay

•Titainium Backup

•Light Flow + Light Flow legacy

•Substratum (legacy)

•Kernel Auditor

•Waiting on a working TWRP doesn't absolutely need root, but an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and root seems to go together.

And whatever else fun I find to mess around with.

Root is a must for me. I like the full control of the device I own. And again, it's fun!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] shooterlgk:
Which viper4android did u flash? I can't make any work
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] paleman27:
Yeah... I was going to say. Why root at this point? The only thing I can think of is doing a Titanium Backup so I can backup the apps WITH the data. I don't know of any app that can backup the apps with data of an unrooted phone, do you? Other than that... I dunno. What you think?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
I don't want a phone that the vendor or carrier control.

I own it and I scold be able to do what I want.

The only thing on a phone that should ever be locked it the radio partition so they can control how the device accesses the network.

Other than that, leave my phone alone.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] primaleph:
Greenify's best battery-saving features require both root and Xposed.

I also really like the GMS Doze Magisk module for battery savings.

And I never want to do without the ability to use EX Kernel Manager or Kernel Adiutor to squeeze some more battery and performance out of my device via scheduler and governor options. Some of the options for this phone (hexacore mode, adaptive low-memory killer) are pretty intriguing and can't be edited otherwise.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Teloah:
Is it possible to theme the navbar with Substratum on Oreo?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] rignfool:
Your philosophy is flawed...

Xposed just being installed is an enormous battery drain in it's current incarnation...

You're better off without Xposed if you're looking for battery
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] primaleph:
Is that also true for systemless Xposed? If so, I'm glad to disable it.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] rignfool:
Just having Xposed and gravitybox made it so I was draining at about twice the rate as without... At idle... In my pocket
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] nrage23:
Yes. Just get a theme with nav bar options.

[Android Head-Units] kwoodall:
I have a Volsmart branded KGL unit. Very happy with it. I have had a few issues and wonder if anyone else with a PX5/KGL unit has seen these issues, know of fixes, and can share their app experiences.

I connect my radio to the internet thru my phone with mobile hotspot.

I'm using the MTCDіаlеr.арk and True Contacts to put visual icons on my home screen to dial contacts thru my phone with two taps.

Google Maps crashes/locks up once you get into the driving directions.

Here ToGo simply crashes or crashes when trying to load its maps.

Waze is working very well for me and I prefer it over the iGo maps.

GMail works fine.

I've had some success with using PushBullet to share SMS/etc from my phone to the radio.

I'd really like to get Google Maps and Here ToGo working - but have no idea why they don't work.
[Android Head-Units] Danno1975:
I have a Mercedes Audio 20/Command nav style unit from a firm here in the UK, it’s a KGL but I think originally Erisin as it had their logo on boot up.

Google maps was ok when I got mine, a couple of weeks ago but yesterday I had a bunch on stopped working pop ups.

Also gmail suffered the same. But seems fine now. Was just mailing myself some nice wallpapers.

The mirror app doesn’t work at all with my iPhone and I can’t see how to update it, downloaded another similar free app that works ok.

Apple Music stops sometimes and because I don’t think it actually supports landscape it hangs off the bottom of the screen. But it’s handy to download playlists onto the HU so I’m not too fussed.

Amazon music works well so does alexa

Torque/HU BT is hit and miss didn’t work, then did but messed up phone, then was working and last night on the motorway messed up phone. So given up on that.

Hey google works but whilst it can open amazon music if I ask for a song once open amazon won’t okay the song, so I ask Alexa, might be they don’t like each other :). Or maybe as I’ve stored the actual offline music in the SD card.

Can use the ringo parking app which is cool

MARIO didn’t work

Angry birds works :)

Netflix play store version fails but there is another I’ve not bothered with yet as the vans for camping so the kids don’t need to be watching it in the van in the winter.

Amazon prime tv works and you can download and store episodes

Waze works well and I prefer it to the IGO so I stuck the Waze on the nav hard button so it’s the main option, would have done google navigation but it’s failed 50% of the times I’ve used it. That said it looks great when it works, especially with the satellite view (must cane my data tho).

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] corderjones:
Hi guys,

I'm relatively new to Android and had a few questions regarding customization.

I'm mostly happy with the Pixel Launcher, but I absolutely hate the white haze at the bottom search pill, it ruins my wallpapers.

I would also like the background of the app drawer (when you swipe up from the bottom to see all the apps) to be dark and translucent, so you can see the wallpaper still.

Can i do this anyway? I don't mind using another launcher if I can get it looking just like the Pixel one with those tweaks.

If it matters, I can't root as I have a Verizon Panda.

Yup, too bad that launcher mod doesn't install. Funny how it's called "rootless" when you need to be rooted to replace your stock Pixel launcher in the system app folder.

Lol it's actually intended for other phones other than the pixel, it'll install on other phones without being rooted. But the pixel has to be rooted in order to use this launcher
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Nephilim:
Exactly, which makes it irrelevant to this thread since OP is looking for an option that doesn't involve root.

I can't figure it out for the life of me.

The "Dinner with Layla in 30 mins" home screen notification
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nxt:
Someone posted how and when it appears.

It only appears if you have a calendar event WITH a reminder. It has to be in the Google Calendar app natively, if you have calendars synced to it from other services, those don't work. And the reminder has to have a notification. I think it said if you have a 30 minute reminder it will show up 30 minutes before that, so an hour before the actual appointment.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bajasur:
Doesn't seem very easy to trigger... Lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nxt:
I just tested this again, small correction to my original post.

It shows up exactly on your appointment reminder.

So appointment at 10am with reminder 30 minutes before, home screen will show it at 9:30am.

Hi! I have a problem with mi Note 8 SM-N950U (Sprint).

The thing is that I can't connect more than one equipment to mi hotspot and It's because is bloqued by the OS. When I enter to the Mobile Hotspot configuration, without activate it, it shows on the message that only 1 device can be conected.

How can I fix this? I have a unlimited data plan. Is there any way to do it? or I have to instal a new ROM?

Thanks!

Best regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Zionator:
Hehe the epiphany of American freedom :D

You would need root to remove that restriction either via a mod that fixes it if someone has made one yet or get a custom rom if one is made for your device yet.

You could also try the theathering apps on play store.

I have unlimited plan as well but i have a hotspot limit of 12 GB a month so i use PDAnet to disguise my hotspot connection which makes my phone company think i am using the 300+ GB on my phone and not my laptop :D

Iam sure there are apps out there that can do what you need without the need to root or void the warrenty in any way.

Tis note 8 is the only phone i have never rooted and most likely never will as i like the features i get without root which i will loose upon root such as banking and secure folder and so on.

This time i got y phone straight from Sammy so i dont have any ISPbloatware on my device and it hasnt been tampered with by any third party company what so ever. Just pure sammy phone :D

If you dont have the money for a new note 8 then sammy has made it so you can now buy a note 8 or any oher new phone for around 35 pounds a month so like a contract but better then the ISP trap.

Good luck in sorting it out.

Average usage for Hard gaming people(Play High-end graphic games, FPS games, etc.) = SOT max is 4 1/2 hours(stamina mode off+Optimized for performance feature on)
