Secure folder works on rooted too. Still it needs some patch. I have posted screenshot of secure folder yday on my root guide thread. Samsung pay won't. Still trying to work spay on gear, it is working on N8/N9 but yet not able to fix on N10. But I am on holidays and no twrp so cant dig much.

Would you mind pointing to any instructions for enabling Secure Folder? I need to sell my old rooted S10+

Thanks!

I will root ASAP just for viper. I found a ten band eq that works ok but nothing matches viper.

I have SD, so probably will take a while, if ever to get root. and probably would have to find workarounds for Spay and couple other programs I use, so probably not for at least 6-12 months even if the root is possible .

Root isn't needed as much as it was five years ago, but I'd still root on day one. Mainly for ad block.

 

[smuvman]

for ad blocking i use blokada . dont need to have root and it also allows u to change your dns.

I used to use Blokada but I found that putting dns.adguard.com under private DNS works just as good.


Not rooting, and not really a choice with Snapdragon anyhow.


Speaking of Snapdragon, if you like dragons check this out!

I use to root every phone I owned, I wouldn't buy a phone if it was locked down.

I bought the SD S10+ knowing I wouldn't be able to root, and I didn't miss it. The main thing I was worried about was ad blocking but Disconnect Pro takes care of that.

I bought the OnePlus 7 Pro and rooted it but I hated the in hand feel of the phone so that was sold and I now have the Note 10+ and the S10+.

I don't miss always trying to stay one step ahead of Google to keep Google Pay working.

Honestly, Samsung's OneUI is really nice and has almost all the features baked in, so I find no reason to root the Note 10+ or S10+.

I can't imagine not rooting a phone. But it could be a reality very soon.
I would really miss flashing custom ROMs though.
The only other thing was call recording, but my Note 8 has got that without an app. Although I had to flash a custom ROM to get it to work.
The only thing I can think of, is my tracking software, Cerberus. That has more features on a rooted phone.

I am contemplating Root. I had it on my N9 but not sure. I root to have Adaway, Debloat crap i don't need & Viper4android.

replace adaway with private dns with addblocking.

one less reason to root.

I honestly didn't know that u could add that dns but i do now. Would be great for Viper4Android but i can wait

HD2, I still love you though. ?

Talk about a blast from the past, my all time fave phone and the time when HTC (who?)were king.

 

[vinokirk]

Yeah HD2, best phone of all time

Due to spouse connections at AT&T, I was able to get the AT&T Note 10+ (256gb/12 GB ram) at less than $500 out the door. Big concern for me with a locked device was ad blocking, theming and ability to use (and theme) the Google Dialer. I also have perpetual subscriptions to Adguard which is doing a great job blocking ads. Using synergy, substratum lite and Pitchblack S and everything I like themed in Amoled black looks the same as my rooted Note 9 device. The added benefit of being able to use Google pay, Samsung pay and ATT call features out of the box (without me manipulating CSCs) is a plus. Two years ago I switched to Tidal HiFi and use the "Get" Bluetooth DAC for music, so I'm good to go on that front. For now I have no desire for a rooted Note 10+; if that changes I'll get an Exynos version. ?

No root for me. I'll miss Viper4Android but I'll manage.

 

[Nastrahl]

No I won't.

I use to be really into rooting however like many people have mentioned here the reasons to root have diminished over time. The last few phones I rooted were for custom kernels, Viper audio, and system wide ad blocking.

I setup a Pihole and VPN at home so ad blocking is no longer an issue, and performance on the N10+ has been solid so there is little to no reason for me to root anymore.

What are ya'll using to replace v4a? I am fine without every other reason to root except music. The sound sucks without v4a.
