Hi all...I usually always root my devices if possible and enjoy customs roms in the 3 or 4 android devices I've had....I bought the nexus 7 and I updated to 4.4.2.its turbo fast and great battery life...What am I gaining by rooting with this. ..? Just wondering If someone has input.Thank you.

Rooting generally is very useful for installing system type apps like ad blockers, file managers and stuff like Greenify. Also some custom roms give you the ability to govern processor speed to throttle back when you are not using the device and therefore further extend the battery usage between charges. Hopefully my vague answer was of some use?

It depends on what you want out of your device, there is nothing wrong with being happy with the stock device, unrooted, but for me, I rooted it for, Titanium backup, stickmount, xposed+gravitybox, francos kernel, multirom...and more, I work in IT and there are tools which help me make my job easier, and my clients networks more secure, which I can charge for!
Thanks weezle...very useful indeed.what is stick box and multi rom m?

for Android
Supported on versions 2.3 through 4.2,
including Kindle Fire, CyanogenMod, and Intel.
While Android itself is "open", the devices that run it often aren't. Before installing Substrate, you will first need to get root access on your device.
Depending on which device you have, and which version of Android, this process differs; we therefore can't provide a simple recommendation.
Once you have root, you will need to install our APK, run the application, click Install, and grant Superuser access to Substrate when prompted.
Interesting

@jd14771: In the play store description it says:
Users should keep in mind that Substrate includes a safety feature: by holding down the volume-up button on your device you can disable Substrate while it is attempting to load these modifications (such as while it is turning on and starting); this will give you an opportunity to use Google Play to uninstall things that might be broken.

Ya I installed winterboard which is a tool that lets you make theme changes and stuff on the fly. Looks like it still has a ways to go. After I uninstalled Cydia Substrate and winterboard my network came back online.
This is as stupid as superuser on an iphone

Lost my IMEI, baseband, etc. Heart dropped when I saw all those unknowns in the about device status.
Fortunately uninstalled the app and a reboot fixed it.

Right now its more of a beginning step this is going to be awesome once it gets up and running well. All the mods you want all in a app not having to browse throughout xda forums or google play I say bring cydia to android. After all the more options the better no? If you don't like it just don't use it lol
Also when I used my network worked fine I was on liquid smooth ROM may 3 or 5 build not sure anyways winter board wouldn't open up however. Back on cm10.1 and haven't tried it again don't plan on till it gets updated

I am trying to install the new app but when SU grant the access the One just crash and reboot... Any suggestions?

Could be something to do with HTC sense ui try uninstalling cydia and then installing it again and see if that works. Don't know what else to tell you other than to wait for an update

Plain and simple...any type of "app store" shouldn't require root. Huge red flag there.

It modifies the system to run mods. That would be hard without root
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
If you guys are wondering why the app would need root, just email the developer using the link in Google Play, and ask him/her....
If your wondering why im here having a HTCONE, I also have the Note II

I first want to thank everyone for their hard work in developing the awesome ROMs we have available to us today. Lately, I've been installing an assortment of 4.2 ROMs and it seems to me that I've lost a good deal of my capacity key control. The home key doesn't function at all aside from haptic feedback. It doesn't go to home or recents (if long pressed). Is anyone else dealing with this? And is there a way to fix it?

Let me know if you need help with this. If it's too tricky to follow, I can try to clear up that post or if you don't want to mess with it at all you can wipe data (you will lose your apps and settings though).
Thank you so much, I'll try this asap.

Your ROM may not have sqlite3 installed. It's not a part of busybox. Are you running pure stock right now? It should be in CM or most custom ROMs.
I'm currently on Carbon ROM where I also installed your ext4all and killjoy's standard script. I tried installing sqlite3 through an app and it keeps saying that there's not enough space...although I'm sure there is on both sd cards. I've also had adaway say similar things, but I did a work-around to fix that. Should I just try a clean install? Or is there something else you would suggest I try first?

Hello would like to root but on past phone rooted stopped this from working. They was some people who temp removed root to get it working anyone here tested?

Not tested, but I know there is a module for xposed framework (i think it is called something like "cloak hider" or similar) it hides root for some apps. Maybe you want to take a look at this?!

Why would you even want aosp on this phone? Stock (+xposed) is sssoo much better than any custom Rom is...especially as far as stability is concerned. You lose so man features when on aosp...just to say your on a custom Rom.

Whatever floats your boat. I Just doesn't make sense to me personally, since aosp doesn't offer anything stock doesn't, especially with xposed modules. But if that's you like go for it

with cm i can run the full fledged google now with it right on the left hand side of the homescreens, also have voice activated ok google from the homescreen. these are features i use often. the only thing i truly enjoyed from stock lg was the built in wireless storage, however i have an app that does the same thing and actually speeds seem to be better than the lg for transfers. Everyone has their flavors, hence why both are offered by developers.
EDIT: also my google play all access music works flawlessly on aosp, where on stock lg 4.4.2 it shuts off after a few songs.

You can use the voice activated ok google with the Google home launcher. I use it now exactly the way you mention on stock. And i don't have any Google play issues ever and i use play music all the time. But like i said it's your phone so you have the freedom to do with it whatever you feel.

You didn't have any funky issues with having xposed installed? I have seen more then a few posts about massive slow downs after it's loaded.
I had all the funky issues, S-health not working, and plenty of lag. uninstalled it all until a fix is found.
