Personally, rooting isn't near as great as it use to be. Adblock can be done via VPN or through private DNS. Music sounds just as good without Viper. Performance and battery life are incredible. You can uninstall anything via adb. Only thing I wish we could do without root is backup everything as well as titanium does.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] lakicamm:
Kind of similar situation here... I also used s7, rooted and flashed every device since android 2.1, and guess what - my s20 is still in factory condition :D

I'm not sure how long it will last, but for now I'm managing to find replacement for most things I got used to, without root. If i got bored some day, I might root it, but for now I'm enjoying it as it is :angel:
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] vash_h:
Same here. I'm enjoying my root free s20+

Haven't rooted since note 2.. Even on my s7 and note 8.. Except had to root my note 8 when samsung decided to lock usage of dual sim with sdcard. Before that I modded my simcard (remove the simcard from the plastic card, file off few mm off my sdcard and stick the simcard chip on the microsd card) on s7 and note 8 that allows me to have dual sim.

When samsung updated my note 8 to one ui, they locked dual simcard function when they detect the sdcard. So had to root my note 8.

Now that the s20 allows dual sim (1 sim and 1 esim) and sdcard, there really isn't a reason to root the phone anymore, well for me that is..

Having rooted phones with magisk is just horrible. Had to reset the phone every time there is an update (prerooted custom rom, dr ketans rom) and sometimes magisk just doesn't hide root properly. It fails sometimes then i have to update magisk..
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] 3c:
I'm wondering the same, and did root my S20+. It was painful and it half work: Google Pay and Netflix no longer work. And I did use Magisk Hide to no avail. Now when I sell it it Google Pay might work, but Samsung Pay will not (didn't verify).

Nowadays I found a way to do a lot of things without root. With a little PC app I unlock a lot of features and it makes root far less mandatory. So I mainly root to test my apps. For my daily device I no longer intend to root it.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Djapatos:
Dont take this the wrong way but i am really curious. What are the pros for rooting phones, especially $1000+ phones, in 2020?

I dont remember the last phone i rooted. I wanna say my Nexus 5 but really cant recall.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] crows:
Could you please share which pc app you are using, I'd like to try it.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] 3c:
It's this app: https://3c71.com/3cc

You'll need to use one of my apps which is able to take advantage of it transparently. It's pretty recent and still work in progress. I have to check every features one by one to know which one works with this method. Recently added disabling app (and their individual components) and force-stop. Just that is pretty awesome IMO ;). Allows debloating a device painlessly.

It will also enable app data backup in the future. Limited to apps which have authorized data backup by Google framework.

I'm so excited since I discovered all the things that could be done that way.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] crows:
Im downloading now, when you say use one of your apps, what do you mean app on phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] 3c:
Yes, an app on phone. You'll get links for them and more details when you start the companion app. For now only toolbox allows disabling (called freezing) apps, but there's an app coming soon for app management alone that will have that.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] crows:
Does it allow to edit root files such as CSC files?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] 3c:
It doesn't give root access, but only gives access to "dev" features that you can do with ADB.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] speedyjay:
You can debloat using ADB....
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Player04:
Download magisk hide prop to fix that google pay issue. Now hide all google pay in magisk. I have a rooted s20+ exynos with working gpay.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] know.i.dee:
Exactly the same situation ; Now it's possible to delete & / or disable so many apps i don't feel the need to root.

You don't need to be rooted to use YouTube Vanced , ive installed it already! But.... Viper4Android is a huge benefit for an audiophile (I had the LG G8 ThinQ , can't root it , sent it back , A Quad DAC with V4A ??)

Knox & warranty for me are the hindrances , apparently depending on your nation warranties must be adhered to by manufacturers if hardware fails even if you manipulate the software.

Titanium backup has carried me since my Sony Xperia z3 plus :) , i have old versions of apps like SwiftKey before Microsoft purchased it.

I'll probably root in a few months when things are more stable , i don't use Samsung pay or secure folders so.... Literally down to warranty reasons as this s20+ 5G (I don't need 5g , either 4G is so fast) is expensive, never thought I'd get a phone like this (suppose its a computer really)

An exposed module called LTE Only (There's other variants) is also useful as this phone sometimes opts for 5bars of h+ over 3 bars of 4g , so annoying that LTE only isn't standard given you can call over VoLTE & still receive texts

---------- Post added at 02:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ----------

Depends what you like or don't like.

I hate the Notion that the microphone gets activated by apps whenever the algorithm is triggered , rooted phoned allow the easy manipulation of app permissions - not that I've anything to hide it's just creepy , I don't use alexa or Google (whatever it's called) or bixby voice.

Essentially rooting your phone allows absolute manipulation of the system.

My S8 is rooted & has now employed a smashed screen , I thoroughly enjoy rooting but its actually to long winded for me now.

I don't think I've ever rooted & installed a rom once & left it , there's always wiping , reflashing , updating TWRP , updating roms , returning to stock to receive official firmware updates then reflashing updated rom

Ugghh as I write I think I've convinced myself. Rooting maybe dead for me. Being an audiophile / music maker I'd now only root an LG V or G phone as V4A & the incredible quad DAC is a heavenly combination for my ears
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] lumiden:
I stopped rooting years ago. It's just not worth it for most users.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] know.i.dee:
Changed my mind , ended up rooting the phone (The adverts tipped me over the edge - seriously annoying).

debloated alot , disabled even more & can backup using titanium backup if i ever need to restart etc (quicker than / & i don't use cloud transfer).

i had to reflash after disabling too much & realised my data wasn't lost when flashing HOME_CSC rather than CSC which deletes everything (i know I'm preaching to the choir) which made me realise that updating this rooted s20+ is actually very easy.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] yuppicide:
You don't need root to debloat a phone. Just ADB. I removed nearly everything Samsung soon as I got the phone.

Hi

I am using Citrix Secure HUB and RSA Token app - but I do not know what they require. But my LG G6 needs replacement soon and X2 Pro looks like the perfect price / performance ratio :)

What I can see does the X2 Pro only support Widevine L3 , so no Netflix HD - but what about secure Apps like online banking , secure hub and so on?

Any Danes with the X2 Pro? (Does tv2 play , eboks, and bookmate work?)

After dialing a number, my backlight will just go out. In order to end the call or anything, I need to hit the power button to enable the backlight again. What could this be?
[Touch CDMA General] TheChampJT:
Settings, look at the settings.
[Touch CDMA General] Ayryyn:
I have, but it actually looks like HHC was the culprit. Uninstalled it and it works fine now.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] slybunda:
i replaced the battery in my 2015 controller over a month ago.

i just reused the protection board from the old battery. used springy contacts from a broken old radio controlled car and electrical tape. the battery with the tape on it is a tight fit in the housing so no worry about it moving around.

gamepad is working fine

good thing about this setup is that if battery needs to be replaced in the future its just the use of electrical tape to swap it over.

additional info: the standard battery uses a JST PH2 2.0 connector and has 24awg wires on it. wires are fairly stiff so its not a silicone wire but pvc.

could easily enough use a off the shelf protected battery and just tape wires to it.

i used a lg mj1 battery which is a 18650 size cell. i made a big mistake here. the original battery is a protected type and the battery i had ordered was unprotected. even though the new lg is a 3500mah the standby battery life is still crap. since the protection circuit i reused was from the old battery i suspect it could be a dodgy protection circuit that is causing an excessive drain on the controller. will need to replace the battery with a protected one to truly find out if thats the cause or if its something else with the controller itself.

battery obtained from www.18650.uk so its deffo legit.

pics attached.

original battery is the blue one (white when its wrapper is removed) and has capacity of 2200mah.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] slybunda:
just to add the controller wont work when wired if there is no battery in it. thought i would do a test of that.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] vibecatalin:
Hello!

I've just purchased an used Pixel 3a, so far so good. I like the phone. I have some problems, and I think they are software related because the main camera , and the selfie camera have slight focus problems, very often they are out of focus, I tap on the screen and the image is slightly blurry, after 5-6 tries and even 10 tries I get an crisp image, more often on the selfie camera, but on the main camera they are problems too. Never had this problems on my previous Pixel 2XL.

I've tried clear cache and storage on the camera, same problems. I've installed cstark camera Px , same focus problems.

Any suggestions?

I'm thinking to switch to galaxy s10, same form factor bigger display.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Tomar777:
Front cam has a fixed focus so you need to keep it at a distance.

Rear cam needs cleaning often, specially when you are not wearing a case.

No problems with tap to focus here so far, latest update and i do a lot of pics.

I hope this helped

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] GrousePlay:
I run a PiHole at home acting as a DHCP server. Sometimes from my Mediapad I have trouble connecting to some of my servers at home. Usually I just disable and enable WiFi and things start working again.

This problem happened just now and instead of doing my normal workaround I ran a tool called "Net Analyzer" and could see that my DNS had been changed to 180.76.76.76 which after some digging turns out to be operated by Baidu. When I disabled/enabled WiFi the DNS was changed to the local IP of my PiHole.

I can't for the life of me figure out how this has happened. I guess there are two candidates; malware or the Mediapad has itself changed the DNS. Neither is very comforting.

Does anyone know how this could have happened?

Model: CMW-W09

Build number: 9.1.0.333 (C432E5R1P3)

EMUI version: 9.1.0

Android version: 9

Many thanks!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sskogen:
I know, I know, I know. I'm not paying, so I shouldn't complain.

However, I think we can agree that rapidshare is the opposite of efficient for ROM distribution.

Since I'm no coder myself, just an end user (with an engineering degree in telecoms), for me to set up a good solution myself doesn't exactly strike home eighter.

However, we have some VERY capable coders here. And we have a lot of end users with some bandwidth to share. Is there a chance we can set up an rss-based downloader (using bittorrent to distribute roms), and then simply tell regular downloaders to get the torrent file? (And thus save this site bandwidth and storage, and end users gray hairs over downloads that are SLOOOOOW). Setting up a Diamond "rom-farm" spread over the internet would solve a lot of problems. I know _I_ can prolly share half of my 8mbit (on average), and I think there are others out there who can share aswell, giving this group a good potential (and if we can get other groups to cooperate we can prolly increase bandwidth and spread over the internet).

Bittorrent is ideally suited to this work, especially if we have a few "always on" seeding-servers.

//Svein
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] adwinp:
This is a very good idea.

I'm on a 100MBit, so that won't be a problem.

I also have a spare dual opteron server lying around.

I've seen that tom (who has a Latvian hosting) also has some good bandwidth.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tom_codon:
unlimited :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sskogen:
What we basically need:

1. Someone with a *nix box on a low-latency (bandwidth isn't an issue, latency is) link, willing to run "our" tracker, and set up the needed accounts for uploads, and set up the tracker to rss-feed the seeder servers.

2. Several people willing to run seeder servers. These need bandwidth. The seeder servers should run in rss-fed full automatic mode.

From what I've seen (between the lines) in the posts on this forum, getting people willing to give bandwidth shouldn't be a problem. What we need is a decent tracker software (I'm open to any suggestions), and some template for setting up the seeder servers.

Am I missing anything? Who volunteers to make the tracker? (I can volunteer to run it, and to make sure latency is ... acceptable on the link. I'm a pedantic millisecond-centric ex netadmin. Ex because of health.)

//Svein
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] timn2087:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] adwinp:

Try testing adwinp.org and see if the latency suits your needs (it should; we are on a 10GBit backbone).

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ryujakk:
Well this seems promising! While this whole thing gets in place, as a sort of alpha tryout, how about using public trackers such as thepiratebay for example? And have a wiki page with up to date torrent links.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pizzachips:
wow great idea =)

only suggestion here is maybe change the title of this thread xD
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ryujakk:
I uploaded torrents for the radios and Elite ROMs.

Links are available on the Diamond Radio wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_ExtractedRadioRoms

and the Diamond Elite ROMs wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_Elite_ROMs

It should work.. normally... and be faster than rapidshare once we get seeders.

Time to flash Elite 3.0 now:D

If you already have the files, don't download them again! Just copy them to the torrent download directory, like that your torrent will be 100% complete and you will be able to seed and help others download faster.

[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Questions & Answers] androiddiego:
Anyone have an order in?
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Questions & Answers] androiddiego:
I'm very interested in it. I have a moto G4 as a back up phone. It is a non carrier specific and I find it very snappy without all the bloat. But the camera is pretty poor compared to my LG-V20 with GCAM app. Plus the V20 has the Quad DAC which gives quite nice sounding music with wired headphones, and it is rooted with Dolby Atmos for great sounding Bluetooth music. That being said, the Moto does have a head phone jack and I am sure there will be enhancements to help that in addition to Dolby or Viper add-ons. Miss my old note 4 which is what this would be like except with a 48MPX camera. And lots more memory, faster processor, and better, bigger screen. Plus a price that reflects the old days.
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Questions & Answers] androiddiego:
Wow, the phone is out and no one has one. Every phone I have bought in the past lots of people pre-ordered. I don't know if this is telling us something or the Wuhan virus is affecting sales. Just found this on the best buy website: "The phone isn't bad for the price, however Motorola has locked the device and doesn't allow the use of Wifi calling even if your carrier does." Deal breaker for me. On T-Mobile which I use for wifi calling. I travel a lot internationally and need wifi calling from the hotels I stay at. I guess I could use skype.
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Questions & Answers] MentholSushi:
I received mine already.
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Questions & Answers] rhuskjr:
I do not have one but have seen a similar criticism on BestBuy site about being locked and Wifi calling.. Motorola responded: The phone does support WiFi calling for carriers that choose to certify it. (For example, T-Mobile and Sprint.) It is not "locked" by Motorola.
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Questions & Answers] androiddiego:
Interesting. I wonder if you have to get it at t-mobile along with all their bloatware. I'll call them and see what they say.
