is there a way to setup my Exchange email/outlook to use the SD card?

also maybe Internet Explorer also to use SD card for cash?

sorry if this has been asked, I searched.

thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] ruinertt:
Email, yes. I'm not so sure about IE (I'd use Opera Mini if I was you anyway):

# How to store your Outlook email/attachments onto your Storage Card:

#####################################################################

Use something like Resco Registry editor:

Navigate to: HKLM > system > Inbox > Settings

click values

menu > new > string value

you are going to create 2 new values here:

value name: PropertyPath

value data: \Storage Card\Mail

value name: AttachPath

value data: \Storage Card\Mail\Attachments

Reset you phone and you should only have the Mail folder along with the attachments folder in mail folder on your storage card.

I then moved, with file explorer, all *.att to attachment folder and all *.mpb to Mail folder from \Windows\Messaging to \Storage Card\Mail.
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
of you run the 6.1 rom go to settings > IE Settings > Temporary File Paths.

if you arent running 6.1 you can probably search this forum and find the registry path that needs to be changed. you can also do it pretty easily through sktools if you have it.

Just bought this phone. All works well, but I miss one thing: a do not disturb (phone silencing) option. The phone does have 'quiet time' but as far as I could figure out this does not allow creating rules to silence the phone when you are in a meeting as scheduled in your calendar. I am now trying the Polite app. Hope that works. I think that Realme should include this in its ROMS. I had it on all my other phones.

It's about S20s Exynos 990 powered phones of course, but looking at the 5G/LTE bands configuration needed here for the US, some of the phones can run Tmo Mvnos. I'd think. As for 4G they appear to have it all. Imagine the possibilities of having ROM development on S20 Ultra. We should wait and see how much S20s phones, imported from India, Singapore or UK, will go for later on on eBay:

Root? Sure, roms? Doubtful. Also Gcam port will never work on the exy. I bet the gcam port on Snap will be better than the stock Samsung cam app. I think I am done rooting for now. Samsungs SW is very good now. As long as substratum works for theming, which it should, I will be happy.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] cpufrost:
I stopped bothering with the rooting after all the device checking with so many apps. Sure, there's always a way to sidestep but eventually it gets old. Some of us want to actually enjoy our phones not play a wacky version of whack-a-mole! :P

That said, I wish they would just allow the end user to unlock the damn bootloader and make the process reversible if they wish. Device checking is already there and just like DRM it can be thwarted by those possessing the knowledge to do so.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dmb219:
I've also given up on rooting and modding. It's pretty hard to improve on the software on a phone these days, whether it's Android, One UI or whatever. With all the personal info on a phone like banking and credit card data, I think the security is important. I miss that good ad blocking when rooted but I get by.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] mzsquared:
Yup, “the thrill is gone” for sure. (BB King paraphrased) And now Samsung and others can capitalize on it making new phones every 6 months or so to keep the excitement(and money) flowing.

People would keep their phones for a long time in not-so-distant past while experiencing re-hashed interest in 'old' devices getting new mods and ROMs.

What's the benefit of rooting these days? Seems like a lot of work for little benefit
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] ecoco1:
What is the benefit of rooting ...

For the ignorant consumer, little. For the ones asking what the benefits are, there is evidently nothing they need. For the rest of us who want to have full control of their devices, instead of delegating this to some vendor, the benefits are evident and not worth talking about. I really do not understand why there is so much text written about the pros and cons of rooting, and then asked about again and again. Waste of bytes, waste of storage on this server, waste of time for the reader - this post about the benefits of rooting included :)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] _Dennis_:
For the general consumer, not necessarily an ignorant one.

Exceptionalism doesn't suit you.

So, you admit you don't actually know.

Wasting bytes? Don't understand this, you can't waste bytes, they are near infinite and the number snails grows by the second.

Faster updates and longer support for updates.

Greater control of permissions.

Better control of how the phone looks.

Mostly it's a digital measuring contest though, "My phone's rooted" is a badge of honor for some.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] ecoco1:
Of course my phone is rooted, I need it to be like that to do my job, but this seasonal heated discussion on the pros/cons of rooting is childish.

I used to root all my Android devices. Stopped with the S10+. By the time root was out, already had a lot of data on my S10 that I did not want to go through the hassle of backing up and losing it all. Will likely be the same for the S20Ultra. Except for the bloatware which is easy enough to disable/remove without root, pretty happy with Samsung's take on Android. Miss AdAway though.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] katolink:
Do you refer to the standard disable option in apps menu? Or do you use a different third party app (such as Package Disabler)? Cause, unfortunately, not all bloatware may be disabled by using just the Samsung disable feature.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] ecoco1:
Well, if the pros are still discussed :) I do not like FBE - i.e. file based encryption where someone else will decide what is DE and what is CE. Some are happy with booting to the lock screen magic with no password prompt, but I want all my data encrypted, so I need FDE and I like to use recent O/S versions, say Android 10. This is not possible without rooting, as the /vendor fstab needs to be changed, hence the need for rooting. And anyway, I would not recommend anyway with a rooted phone to use FBE if they care about security.

I'd root from the off..

Turn off swap storage, really not needed with so much ram, all OEMs leave if on..

Ads. Yea I know you can get apps which so the same but it's not as good.

Titanium - how can anyone live without this app.

Debloating - yes you can use ADB, but it's still crap vs titanium and root access.

Root apps - there's too many to mention

Custom ROMs- stock Android would be nice.

Decrypting the device.

Is the exynos treble enabled?

There still a load of reasons to root, you only miss it when you haven't got it. Or in my case can't have it (Huawei)

New world we live in. We can't disagree, and have different opinions and ideas. Xda has seriously turned into a sht show
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
So your swap storage is like the pagefile you have on windows, it offloads data and tasks to the storage memory instead of just using the ram, seeing as the device has more than 4GB which apparently is more than enough to not use the swap file, you simply don't need it.

With this turned off you would get a speed bump, gaming improves vastly, I found this out whilst testing Zelda the windwaker on dolphin with the P20 Pro, without swap it was perfect (with other tweaks) with swap on! Even with tweaks was just unplayable, an easy 10fps lost because of it.

12 or 16GB of ram? More than enough to live without the swap file

Well said, without the modding community, XDA and similar forums wouldn't exist, not to mention the influence the community has had on actual devices, the oneplus iirc was spawned sporting a variant of Cyanogen mod.

I always root if I can, get a stable ROM and profit.

Galaxy S20 support the new Android 10 Dynamic Partitions https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/dynamic_partitions/implement

like all Samsung phones that born with Android 10

Now we have again the ramdisk in boot.img and therefore we can root with magisk just by patching the original boot image.

So the procedure to root with Magisk should not alter the recovery like on old models S9 S10, but just flash the patched boot image.

Unlock the bootloader, on Exynos models.

Extract from AP the original boot.img, patch with Magisk Manager, rename the patched_magisk.img to boot.img.tar and flash it with ODIN

go in the recovery and wipe data before the first boot.

P.S.

Magisk in recovery is not working for new Samsung phones, and custom recovery are not accepted without valid signature. see samsung_vbmeta.img

system and vendor partitions wil be read only also with root, because with dynamic partitions, system.img and vendor.img are inside the super.img and are marked permanently read only.

We can modify files in system and vendor only with magisk overlay functionalities or with Overlayfs / adb remount on ENG firmwares https://android.googlesource.com/pl...0f0cee97ff33e6254d/fs_mgr/README.overlayfs.md

ROOT is very important to become the real owner of your device, not just because you can install a tool or another. Only with root you are not a slave of Google and of the manufacturer.

Don't have root permissions on a device is like have an house where only others can have the keys. If you can't disable your security, the security become a jail.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
Quite simple, you can do it manually or just use swap torpedo which is a module for the root application magisk.

To the people who don't want to root, this thread is for people who do.

Please feel free to make a thread discussing why you don't need root, there's a little "start new thread" button on XDA..

You're welcome..

That way we don't need to justify what we want to do to with our devices to one another.

It's not a poll.

Thread cleaned. Please behave people. Keep in mind if you're swearing and just purposefully misspelling words so it isn't bleeped out that still counts!

Discussion and disagreement is completely fine but do so respectfully. With that said, the thread is about root and if you're not interested that's fine but it kinda begs the question why bother posting and saying why you feel it's not needed given it isn't relevant to the thread subject? As suggested maybe make a thread and have a discussion with similar minded members and discuss that. There's no reason you can't and it could be a good thread to get into.

Would it be necessary to wipe data in order to root? I am using the phone right now and since I cannot perform a backup with Titanium it would be hard to get all apps+data back.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] tiho5:
Yes. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your phone. And then the process of rooting will also require you to wipe again in recovery to remove the encryption. No way for you to keep that data.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] buddy66:
I knew it... I did the same to my last S9+ but there was a root method including magisk right after I bought it so it did not hurt that much. I looked for root for the S20 but there is none yet and I cannot revert from my S9+ backup because of the trade in program. I guess it is time to do some in-app backups and oldschool copy paste methods :p
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] tiho5:
Probably you should have copied your TB folder from your old device to your pc. Then you can use it to restore your custom apps once you root and have TB again.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
If you had to flash a firmware then yes. If it's a partition then no.

Don't worry about the rest unless you need them, there are apps which can do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] buddy66:
Media is not my concern. I can easily copy it but the Appdata is important because for example setting two factor authentication for banking or google authenticator is not that easy when you have only one phone to authenticate yourself. I could not find any good alternative to Titanium Backup. I am on Exynos so the bootloader is not a problem and at the moment I only need root access without custom recovery or custom ROM. All in all I will probably flash the recovery as well because nandroid backup is a great way to backup the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
There isn't an alternative to TB.

As for your banking apps, I would say (similar to myself) you'd need to set them up again. It may see it as a different device anyway, TV doesn't play nice with banking apps, you'll struggle with app data without root mate..

Sounds like a fresh start to me, you could transfer a TB back up but couldn't be sure that it'll restore functionally

I have downloaded the Chrome Browser App because it was recommended. It was stuck at "your phone is not in PTP mode" although I activated the "Camera/Photos Import" which is the PTP. I trtied it with my old S9+ but now when the root comes out, I will test it again with my S20.

I am not really sure. My son got a new phone and I was able to backup his games with data and succesfully installed on the new phone.

You must have the apps installed on the new phone before uploading the backup data.

The backup only consists of data from that app. Once you try to upload it to your new phone, it will let you know which app is not installed. Then it wont work if an app is not installed or not compatible with the phone. Then you will need to do another backup on the old phone and uninstall the app that doesn't work on your phone.
