I hate Magisk! I won't de-encrypt my phone! NEVER! It seems every new phone requires root through de-encrypt, what can I do? What are the new phones that don't require de-encrypt? Are Samsung's still ODIN rootable? Are there still phones CF-Autoroot-able, or kingoroot-able, or KingRoot-able...

My phone, the MetroPcs variant, is eligible for a system updatd. Does anyone know what this will do to the phone? Will it slow the phone? Will it add security aka spyware? will it take long? how many megabytes is it?

Charging faster by shorting data wires in charger cables.? I've seen recently on videos on youtube the practice of slicing USB charger cables and shorting the green and white wires ( slicing them, covering them with electrical tape)- the idea being the device's recognition of a possible data...

Do you have to de-encrypt the phone for root? I am thinking of getting an Aristo2, currently using the MotoE4 (which I hate!), and rooting that requires de-encryption (I love encryption!). This is the MetroPCS version your talking about? Thank you...

Did anyone get root for this machine yet- some two and a half years later...?...

Night display works great. I had the moto application disabled. Still no UI tuner...

The night mode feature has disappeared. I had it working for awhile, the setup wizards when first using this phone allowed me to activate it. It disappeared! I liked it! I've tried the gear long press and it does not work on this phone. I've held the gear down 10 seconds, I've held it two...

Problem! I just entered a contest for new earbuds. I chose to get the newsletter subscription and the form email confirmation told me that my email was [email protected] This is not my email. Never seen it. This is the email xda used to send to MY email inbox? Is this a hack? To make...

I have received this messages numerous times- not sure what the formula is. When I tap the "check convention fulfillment" there is a very brief toast message reading "operation condom is missing", with a lot of words beneath. I found mention to operation condom here-...

Is there anyway to put the battery percentage at the top? I can't figure that out and it's driving me nuts. I also heard there is a night mode display easter-egg menu in settings in 7+ to enable night mode. I can't get that working either. Rudimentary questions...

Is there a simple way to root this phone? Without deencrypting, and flashing SuperSU, yada yada yada... I just need basic root, for now... (Are all phones to be rooted this way now, except for the Samsung ones?) Also, I can't get Vlc video player working- the installer states that it's...

How did you install xposed? What version? Did you use FlashFire? What settings dud you use? I rooted the phone with Kingroot- though BookCase, who linked your post, told me I needed to root with Kingo root. We will see if this was a problem or not... Thank you.

Whoooh there! Root with kingoroot? Is that an issue? I rooted mine with king root with no problem. Is this going to be an issue with flashing xposed, or did others have issues obtaining root with kingroot?

Has anyone been able to install xposed modules successfully on this phone? i am very interested... Also some specifications website- phonescoop.com, or the like mentioned this phone had fm radio.. Anyone know what that's about? Thank you

I love the application Amplify. Thank you. It is terrific. It is such a terrific battery saver. One thing that would improve it- -the option to password protect it from opening. I have found numerous times that Amplify opens while the phone is in my pocket and the statistics and the wakelocks...

Damn. I was hoping they'd have a 'brick' that would be easier to track down. Thank you. I never got an answer on how to set my wall paper on this rom with my personal graphics, as opposed to stock themes. An app is needed, so states the settings dialogue box. Any thoughts? Thank you bilgerryan...

Have an issue with Stang5litre mod and have gotten no response from it's thread. I am not allowed to choose my own wallpaper or lockscreen paper- only a theme, and from a selection of wallpapers chosen for me. When trying to load image from gallery I am given a message that there is no app for...

Out of curiosity (and security), what will happen if I do a data reset by entering recovery through the button combination? (Or any way, really). What would be left? I'm wondering if this phone is stolen, or lost, how desirable it is to a drunk or homeless person. Will they be able to use it...

Hello. I need help. Wakelock from package 1013 are killing my phone's life. Direct Track accounts for more than 90 percent of my wakelock time. Audio Track is also a huge killer. The phone I am using only for podcasts and music. They are the only sounds that come from the phone. It runs on WiFi...

Direct Track wakelock. Has anyone limited it? It's eating my battery. I'm using a Galaxy s4 on Stang5litre

Do I need to reflash the stang5litre program?

I found this phone in the trash with what appears to be a working sim. I saw a suitcase on a dumpster that i could use and below it was a trash bag of beer with this phone in it. I had to reset the phone and could not get the service working -not knowing a password. I use metropcs. I would need...

Is there a list of Xmods working on this phone? Or contrarily, a.list of Xmods that don't work, or have difficulty? I am running Stang5litre.

Is there a way to unlock this phone and put on another service?

I believe I accidentally did wipe the user apps... (Side note: After Hot Reboot the lock screen works, but only until I power off (or power off and charge). I need to hot reboot once after changing.)

My device has no lockscreen, no matter how often I try to set one. I can not choose the wallpaper- when I pick an image from gallery, the message States "app isn't installed".. Unable to access the playstore. Receiving message stating "error retrieving information from server [RH-01]. I...

The installation worked... Thanks Bilgerryan. Interestingly I cannot set the wallpaper. Its stuck on these awfull cars. Neither can I use the playstore, or disable google play services. My battery is just draining. The viper was a nice suprise. What setting for the audio does this device...

Cache partition and cache partition format. Do I wipe both? And after updating the supersu binary, can I update to a new version? Will a full battery be enough for this? 1.2 gigs plus is a lot to flash...

I have had the same problems. On aptoide store there are various versions of flashfire v53. One is "busted dice", that one works. The other does what you describe. Scroll to near the bottom of the application description where is written "other stores", or other versions or something. I still...

OF1 installation question- Instructions for WIPE are to check cache. There are two cache options. ?????? Instructions for UPDATE supersu. I do not understand the UPDATE part. ???? Should I also uninstall the version of supersu I have first? How much battery will this use? Xposed will work...

Hello there. I need to install xposed on my device. I'm using the Verizon i545 running 5.0.1. Rooted with kingroot. Installed supersu with w0lfdroid exploit. What now? This device won't allow xposed? I've read I need to install a mod first? I want something quick and easy. Stang5litre was...

[Edit-] The W0lfdroid removal of King root worked great. Awesome. Thank you. Are there any special instructions for setting Flashfire for flashing Xposed?

Just found the Verizon i545 running 5.0.1. Need root. Have no access to pc at this time. I've read around that king root may work (towel root didnt), but I noticed that the method for uprooting king root requires a windows pc. Previously I worked with an Alcatel fierce xl and removing king root...

First off, thank you ShaDis for your aid on this anachronistic thread and your patience You are kickass. I downloaded the ROM manager from the play store (before it was aptoide). It lets me do much more, as in choosing the phone model, and what version of clockwork mod should be installed...

The ROM Manager doesn't work on my s2 ( the phone model selection crashes the device). It is running 4.0.4 Android. The ROM manager is version 5.5.3.7 Should I be looking for an earlier version of the software? Thanks for posting the instructions though. I'm happy to see there is a method that...

!!!!!!!!!!! This is the contact for kingroot- Requesting root from them may make them research rooting this device. Can we all request them to root this zte? https://kingroot.net/contact/ Zte is also a Chinese company, like kingroot. Maybe asking them to telephone over to the zte offices ( or...

I rooted with Towel Root. I remembered that it would root easily and safely phones built before the S 5. I don't know how to install a custom recovery. Is this something I can install with Flashify or FlashFire? If so, can some post a walkthrough? That would be great. I just bought a zte zmax...

I need the ability to switch between firewall templates. Is this possible with net guard? One for each browser, or application I use to access the internet- and add to that firewalls for just phone calls and another for the playstore, etc. Do you understand? Does this have enough value I have...

Iam about to buy a new phone from metropcs. The j7 is rootable- the zte zmax pro isnt. I dont own a pc to use odin, but i saw at http://www.howcanvideo.com/tutorial/how-to-easily-root-the-samsung-galaxy-j7-2016/ Uses kingroot. Will this work? Will i be able to install xposed? Thank you...

I bought this sgh-T989 off a bum on the street corner. Not stolen- got service rooted with towel root. The battery dies so quickly. Can i install xposed modules without a pc? Ive never had a rooted samsung before. Im running 4.0.4. No pc at all.

This page claims to have root using auto root. http://kidapso.com/how-to-root-zte-zmax-pro/ I dont own a zte but probably will in a few days. Can anyone test this?

What is an "ap slot"? Will that be self explanatory when I open Odin for the first time? I have been examining screenshots off start page and do not correlate the ap slot to the image. My imagination tells me I'd be "dragging and dropping" a kernal to slot labeled "ap"... Is there a website...

Questions on the original premise of the thread for a somewhat novice- Setting phone to Download mode- ??? I expect needing to install drivers to the pc when doing this. Correct? When flashing the software, is this from the phone itself, or the pc? If phone, is flashing good? Kernal in ap...

Thanks for the response. The issue with your list is that my phone LACKS CUSTOM RECOVERY ABILITY and this question has been so ignored, including from Chainfire moderated threads. Oddly... What, please tell me, is the temporary unroot feature? And why, does it not allow encryption? There is one...

Encryption with root. I need to know if SuperSU's temporary unroot is sufficient for encryption. My phone (Alcatel 5054N) doesn't have an unlocked bootloader yet. Would that be a further problem? One website I read said I would need to flash SuperSU after encryption from custom recovery. Is...

Need to encrypt a rooted Alcatel One Touch Xl (5054N), 5.1.1. Can I simply disable root, or day I need to full unroot? I have to do this today...

Hey, can I encrypt my 5.1.1 phone while temporarily unrooting with SuperSU? Elsewhere I read a description of the process that required flashing SuperSU after encryption, though my build has no custom recovery. I need a fast answer. Any thoughts?

Hi Need to encrypt 5.1.1 phone- though rooted. Can I use the temporary unroot (disabling superuser) in SuperSU?? (I have heard I may need to reroot through custom recovery-but my phone model has no known custom recovery). Anyone use this method, or know someone, or try to figure it out? Thank...

There is a security issue on Qualcomm's snapdragon processors (the same ones we have in our phones). I heard about it on the news Any thoughts? Let it also be noted that we all have Swype installed. Swype reads contacts and SMS messages! I have noticed in Amplify that there are Services...
