I just want to be able to remove the stupid persistent notifications that I have do not disturb enabled and wifi calling.
What do you hope to achieve with ROOT
- Thread starter grmcrkrs
- Start date
I don't think there was. I just think it might be unlikely only from the standpoint that it's more than likely going to take someone with some pretty good kernel skills to dig through and figure out activation of it, and I'm sure most kernel devs will be focusing elsewhere. I could be totally wrong though. For me, it's not anything I'm too wild for, as regular radio drives me nuts with all the commercials, so I have Spotify premium.....sure it's not as useful when I'm not in service, so I keep 100 or so songs on my phone for those instances (not very often tho).

If nothing else, for TiBu so I can restore everything, and get rid of bloatwares.

Remove bloatwate ad away and hopefully xposed but I would want to be in stock ROM but right now xposed has issues with Samsung stock and greenify
It's like this, imagine you bought a house, and it has a basement. But you are not allowed to go in the basement.
Do you need a reason to want access to your basement? It's your house right?
What if you just want to see what's in the basement, for all you know it's filled with illegal drugs or dead boddies, anyway you get my point.

It's simpler than that, really. Smartphones are just a computer, only much smaller and more portable and it has a radio capabilities. The average joes can buy computers from Walmart and Best Buy and any other box stores, and they will or they can become the computer's administrator or superuser just by turning on the computer the very first time and go through the Welcome steps.
The fact that manufacturers have to lock the phone is the failure on their part (and the OS maker's part) to provide a system that allows the user to do what they want, just like they can on a computer, and still secure the system. Or give a choice to the users on the level of security, and stand firm to media analysts calling such and such phone is insecure because it comes with option to provide administrator's privileges to the owner. This whole thing about security being tight because only the manufacturer can determine the phone's security level is just the wrong direction, IMO. It probably has more to do with the fact that historically, US customers buy subsidized phone from wireless providers, and flood the providers with customer support calls. The wireless providers are more interested in lowering the customer support call volume than the security of your private data (well, they care to the extent they can use it to brag in their ads).

Remove bloat, keep the essentials , clean and simple, fast and efficient
All I need root for is AdAway, BusyBox, and Viper4Android. I wish Google would allow select apps root access... but I know that gets into the gray area like what the FBI is asking for Apple to do... there's no winning.
Lol I'm switching back to lg g4 now then g5.phone with no root like an garbage iphone.phone is great but nothing really special so hope G5 camera will be better
Use Xposed framework although it makes booting take longer. Block ads. Better use of Orbot. Remap flashlight to power button when held down if the screen is off.
You can block ad without rooting. But have to pay annual or lifetime for this service.
If you want ad blocking just go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-netguard-root-firewall-t3233012 Netguard can do adblocking. Don't download it from Google Play though. Download it from the Op's page he shows. To get adblocking done you will need to pay a one time fee for filtering network traffic which once you install Netguard and go to the Pro features. I do admit it bugs me that I get a notice all the time about vpn service turned on but it doesn't seem to hit the battery hard.
Ah I know about that one
I already pay for a VPN. Would rather not send my info over a unknown vpn.
Its called Adguard. I like it. When I am surfing it block Ad. You cant download it at Google Store as Ad is where people make money. However, it will not work when you want to do hotspot.
Also try this: https://adblockplus.org/android-install
