Well never mind it will happen eventually. I'm surprised they've made such progress already. Can't wait for a 64bit 5.0 tw xposed . (well maybe by then we'll need a 5.1.1 xposed )
Still early day for the s6. But I've just see a post in T-Mobile forum about an almost booting aosp build (off topic I know, but still exciting)
I'm not not sure if the anticipation of updates are just as good as receiving updates lol

Exact same config, but I haven't rooted yet. I'd like to see wanam compatible soon.
What motivated you to root so fast. As in, why did you need it for. I'd been holding out to see if a better root method was developed to avoid tripping Knox and messing up Samsung pay.
So far all I've missed is not being able to backup my old app data with titanium.

Personnaly, i rooted my precious because of Adaway (goodbye all advertisement) and to uninstall some basic apps (Samsung Link for instance).

Has xposed been confirmed install-able on rooted s6 edge 5.0.2?

Greenify needs xposed, right? The xposed framework isn't available yet for lollip.

Does it work on s6 edge ? I heard that there's some bootloop error.
Thx.

I have the same question, does this work with a stock rooted s6 edge unit with bootloader still locked?

Ok so what now?

Ok so I'm fairly new to the whole rooting thing but I have been studying up quite abit. Lots of really good videos on youtube!! So I'm just looking for some direction on what kind of things I can/should do now that I have rooted my phone. Here is the break down so far:
Rooted - Towelroot
Root Browser Installed
BusyBox Installed
Safestrap Installed and backup saved
Titanium Back Up Installed. Most Bloatware has been safely removed with no issues thus far
SuperSu Installed
Terminal Emulator Installed
CPU Tuner installed but have absolutely no clue what I am doing - still researching this
I think that is about it. So any tipps on next direction would greatly be appreciated!!
Thanks in advance

O yes my S4 is NC5 and stock rom
Make phone calls... or browse the internet.
Mine does facebook good.
All the root, customization , ect. is just to make it do what YOU want it to do. If there isn't something your trying to get it to do that it doesn't... There isn't really a what next, be happy.
If there IS something your trying to get it to do that it doesn't... that next.
edit: though if your not using a custom rom you should probably freeze the program that controls OTA updates. Hopefully someone can chime in with what its called... Been awhile and I forget, and just flashed a rom instead of worrying about it last time I updated my phone.
Like you, I've frozen/killed/uninstalled all the crapware I could. Beyond that, all I've done is installed the Google Launcher. My phone is well behaved and pretty responsive, with minimal lag.
All I would really want at this point is an unlocked bootloader so I could install a straight Google ROM.

I'm on NC5 and have been happily running GPE ROM for quite awhile now. Only problem is the Kernel difference so there's no USB transfer.
Thanks for the reply's. Yeah I don't really game or anything. Heck I don't even Facebook lol but I would like to Play around with getting better battery life and maybe a little speed. Not that I really need too, the response is very good and the lag is only noticeable at times. I want to play around with the CPU tuner but I'm nervous about messing something up and I have not installed a new Kernel yet and from what I have read that is a must.

NO! Installing a new kernel on SafeStrap NC5 is not a must! It will brick your phone! You can use TW based ROMS and one or two very special AOSP Roms, no new kernels though!

I use android tuner for my tuning needs. Really expansive options and a really great app. If you want a really light ROM fort SS GPE ROMs are about 400-500MB. Gets rid of clunky touchwiz and solely runs on Google Now Launcher. Only bummer is the loss of the Touchwiz camera app.

HyperDrive is solid and a good ROM for those newer to 'all this' IMO. I am on BlackBox which is stupid fast and has great battery life but is a little buggy. I've had it on my phone for over a week now and have no plans of taking it off anytime soon. But it's up to you now. Just make sure you wipe everything before you flash, always make a backup beforehand and only flash ROM's that are proven on your device and your bootloader and you will be money. Also, read read read the threads before flashing.

it's called SDM in the system portion... and I would get lucky patcher and black mart alpha installed to. these give you access to everything and all the paid apps too.
Add a tethering/hotspot app.

No, we're all sitting here waiting for Lollipop. There's really not a huge necessity for root other than adblocking. I've rooted and custom rom'd other smartphones before right out of the box, but after jumping on this phone, there's no need. Performance is smooth, optimized battery life excellence, and already included neat features like Double Tap to Wake without needing to root it.
Why do you desire root so badly?

It would seem like a better equivalent to suit your needs with Sony quality is the international build, the regular Z3.
Or you could be the extraordinary to find a way to root/unlock the Z3v and claim that nice bounty reward. I'm soon to up my donation amount.

It's a hit or miss with it sometimes. I'd say it works for me 80-85% of the time, but if you double tap in the center of the screen it will increase your chances.

I created a thread in this Z3v forum where I listed the amount of apps that are safe to disable. You just go to application manager, all apps, then choose the app you wish to disable.
Don't forget to hit thanks
Root would be nice only because it plays to the geek inside me. Otherwise the Z3v pretty much does everything I need it to do at a level of efficiency that is already well beyond my basic needs for a device.

I lost interest in root after the original droid, droid x and droid x2. With the galaxy s3 and now the z3v I am not trying to save space or fix problems with the OS. Rooting was a major pita IMHO and the Verizon apps I just don't use. I'm not sure why people still need root anymore. Remind me?

I agree. It is a pain to constantly change ROMs, change kernels, etc but I have still rooted every device. Keep it stock, move apps to a separate folder so there is no chance that they run, changing the font all through the system (not sure why that isn't a standard feature by now), & the big one I miss, blocking ads.

Lollipop is... disappointing.
The update seems to be a huge piece of garbage in a Material Design wrapper. The battery preformance is worse, the auto-brightness doesn't work as it should, I've been nothing but annoyed by it and I want 4.4.4 back..
I have not had success rooting the Z3 (D6603 on 23.1.A.0.690). Any of you know a good way to root and then downgrade to stock 4.4.4? Or is CM12 stable enough to replace 5.0.2? Any help would be appreciated!
Like I said when I got it on my S5 it was it was a huge disappointment. I'm not up grading this phone for a while

my 2 years upgrade is almost here, and the z3v is the phone I'm leaning towards (others under consideration are the S4, S5 and LG G3). My concern is that VZW will push out an OTA upgrade that can't be stopped, without having root....am I wrong about that? My last experience was with the S3 (which I still have&use).

DNS66 ad blocker with no root needed

I thought I'd give some folk the heads up on this app, I've used it on different devices and works very well, the dev is also on here (I'm not great at linking)
I just thought for people like myself the main reason to root is to block dreaded apps.
This app works great , dev answers all questions all so.
App is downloaded through fdroid.
Let me know what you think
P.s also has a whitelist for apps (brucy bonus)

You probably haven't tried Chads uber then. And magisk barely updates anymore. Xposed isn't even a big deal. The main thing it has is amplify bit if you miss it then just compile merge and Intergrate wakeblock into a rom you are using. If you are on stock you can get the equivalent to amplify without xposed or any integrating.

Yeah, I know. I was trying to get a discussion going in the Sprint section since it seems to be dead.
Yes, I had my S8+ successfully rooted, but had to go back since Amazon Flex app would not run on a rooted device
Rooted, went back to stock, then rerooted. Only using it for viper, titanium backup, and adaway though. Also like that I can have a nand-like backup with ff in case I screw something up.

Yeah, I'm still kicking around - I remember you too. Sprint side of things is pretty dead in the s8+ world. Think it's because we're all in the same boat this time, so we're all just glomming onto the generic snapdragon s8+ threads. Instead of having a different section for each carrier, it would probably make more sense for xda to just have a snapdragon section.
oh yeah, I also used root explorer to change my boot animation and to disable some sounds.

So you actually rooted? I don't see the point in rooting as of right now thanks to adhell (v2) and substratum. Only thing I really miss is TiBu, but that's all.
But yeah. deff would make more sense to have a QCOM section instead of different carriers.

It's the stock volume that kills it for me. Guess I'm getting old (or spoiled from the s6) but even with volume turned all the way up, it's still not loud enough through bt. I went back to stock thinking volume wasn't worth rooting for, but I got pissed off when I couldn't hear through my speaker or headphones and went back to viper again. Battery is still great, even with the 80% limit, and the glitchiness from being rooted is pretty minimal. And I like adaway and titanium better than Adhell 2 for blocking ads and dealing with apps - they seem to do a better job.
If it wasn't for the volume issue though, I would probably just stay on stock.

Xposed Modules for V20

I know there's a whole thread dedicated to working modules but I wanted to start one for this phone, basically just what works what doesnt, I'm running
AD Blocker Reborn
Amplify
Greenify
Flat Style Keyboard
And Xmessenger
They all work perfect if anybody is running anything else that works feel free to let everybody know
I should say I'm not as well versed in Xposed as some people, I started using it in Kit Kat maybe maybe lollipop not sure but I'll try my best to answer any questions that get asked
Did you get the autotint feature to work with the flat style keyboard?

I can't seem to get amplify working on my phone. Mind telling which rom are you using and what type of root (supersu or magisk)?

There's a magisk module called greenify4magisk and it allows it to run in Xposed mode I'm on break at work or id link it for you and also a few posts above said use 3.7.1 I would try that it will probably work better
Edit: I just installed 3.7.1 and it detects Xposed and works great

Released officially for Nougat a few days ago, I'm on WETA Rom and everything is pretty smooth, I made this thread so people can post what works and what doesn't specifically for this phone, there is an ongoing thread for all working modules on nougat but that includes AOSP ROMs and not all of us are running AOSP, also haven't run into any major issues boot times are a little bit longer but I haven't noticed a decrease in battery life or performance
Guys, do you xposed might work on Tilde's ROM?

If it's a stock based Rom I can't see why it wouldn't work, same goes for an AOSP Rom, as always make a Nandroid backup in TWRP before flashing just in case it doesn't work

Thanks!

I went to WETA for customization and the aroma installer had a bunch of stuff I could choose from, rooting in general it's just something I've been doing since my first Android phone, I'm amazed at what I can do with basically complete control, as I say to my friends that don't know what root is, if I want to do something I more than likely can, music didn't sound good enough to me so I installed viper4android music sounds amazing and I couldn't go back to stock, I wanted my battery to last longer so I installed greenify to force doze when I turn my screen off so I can get iPhone levels of standby drain, also it's just something fun to do there's always new stuff going on, Xposed just got released officially a few days ago and I honestly can't wait to see what comes of it.

yeah I would love to be able to force DOZE and also use Greenify to help preserve battery.. but nervous what features i'd lose going away from stock... does everything still function? or did you loose things like 2nd screen, or camera quality etc ?

I'm on WETA Rom I don't know what variant you are on but personally I have the H918 T-Mobile variant, it supports most of the major variants, and it's a stock based Rom it's built on update 10K and everything is intact second screen, camera quality, everything works perfect

There's the link to WETA Rom if you want to check it out for yourself

Yeah i had started with the VS995 Verizon variant when I first went to the V20.. but after we switched to MetroPCS (via TMobile service).. I noticed that without all of the GSM bands.. my connection was HORRIBLE.. plus I did not have the WIFI calling / SMS features... so I switched to the H918 variant... SO Glad I did.. love the knowledge I could unlock my bootloader.. and it seems to have some of the default features that Verizon had locked out... IE FM Radio.. etc..
right now i'm on the 10q software.. so not sure if i'm locked out of anything or if thats still able to root / unlock and flash safely.

As far as I know 10p still hasn't been rooted, I would hold off updating for a bit if you do want to root, I don't know when a 10q root will be available
