With root, you can:
Install Xposed modules and modify almost anything on your phone.
Install Greenify and get a decent battery life on standby.
Install Titanium Backup for easy backup and restore.
Apply @iceyhotguy tweaks for better device performance.
and many more
And if you step up to installing custom ROMs, you can:
Get rids of lags completely (by complete I mean COMPLETE)
Possible to upgrade to Android 4.4.2 Kitkat
Get many customizations previously not possible on Xposed.
FULL control of your phone.

Root basically gives you access to the restricted areas of android and makes you the SuperUser of the phone.
i.e, the name SuperSUp)

rooting is the best thing ever for an android phone! it only makes galaxy grand more awesomer!

3 months back i was also new to rooting....but once once in....i have never looked back.....as said in the earlier posts by our senior members....... u wud get a complete access to your handset and a different thing/activity to indulge in from whatever u are doing now on a daily basis( if not developing...) .to explore new things everyday........android is so versatile.........and we have some very good........i mean to REALLY VERY GUD DEVS here............
just dont screw up anything....read clearly before flashing......
Happy rooting.........

yes even I was new to rooting... I just rooted this phone in October and now I have no plans of ever going back to unrooting! It's a totally satisfying experience and much more if you loves uch technology!

You can also uninstall bloatware like chaton, S apps etc..

Removing Bloatwares
The great advantage of rooting is you can uninstall all the bloatwares which comes with stock samsung rom like, Chaton, S Apps, etc. Even u can uninstall apps like Email (when u have GMail)... The thing is removing those bloatwares helps u to free ypur RAM and Internal storage, and thus increases battery backup. :laugh:

Root apps
You can try
-LMT Launcher(It's an alternative to PIE control)
-Greenify(Helps you hibernate unused apps)
-Game Killer(Hack games )
-SetCPU(To tweak cpu frequencies)

Rooting also easier for backup your phone
other advantages:
Grant more permission to do things you want to do (if you want to)
Also enable you to have an option on "link2sd or others apps" to enhance your memory (if you want to)

​
you can use various tweaks like pimp my rom:good:

Rooting benifits
yea do tell :v

DON'T DO IT! Be careful.
From what I can see, they want you to unlock your bootloader, which is nothing special and the preferred (only one) root method, mentioned here...
You should think about backing up your DRM-Keys first by using this method

thank you for your reply, bro.

Funny, how people are looking to root their device but re-think about rooting it. Don't even think of rooting your phone if you're unsure about what you're doing. Might as well just buy an iPhone and forget about modding your phone to its full potential.
Seriously, I don't even give a damn about warranty and DRM keys. I bought the phone, and it's mine. I should have full control over it and modify it as I want, say unlock the bootloader or whatever it is, hey it's my money well spent why should I care less... The only problem that will come in is when you put your Z5 premium dual into water and it starts to evaporate on your camera lense then you should send it to Sony for warranty or just send to any mobile phone shop and spend some money. Come on the moment your warranty is over, your phone will become obsolete, Z7 will come in hand.
Edit: Anyway, enough random rant. If you still wanna root your phone check this out for the DUAL variant... http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-premium/general/complete-noob-friendly-guide-to-t3426220

before rooting please tell what is your Z5p
1. version E6xxx
2. what is your stock build number (last three digits) .170 ?
3. do u know rooting? and its risks and its privileges ?
now,
if you are having SONY z5 (z5p) (any variant) with LOLLYPOP rom ( sony version ending with .170 )
there is simple way to
1. ROOT
2. and backup your DRM KEYS
kingroot can root androild 5.1.1 (32.0.A.6.170) (many says kingroot is unsafe and it takes device info to china servers) ( so they might be true)
once you have ROOTED 5.1.1 ,
download this https://github.com/DevShaft/Backup-TA/archive/v9.11.zip and take your DRM KEYS BACKUP
READ INSTRUCTIONS at
https://github.com/DevShaft/Backup-TA/releases
once backup is taken, just download and flash kernel for your variant from here

I have a Z5P, but it's running Marshmallow (6.0.1) - is it possible to root it?
And is it possible to root it without losing all my settings and resetting everything to factory defaults?
Also, why are the DRM key backup important? What do I need them for?

Q. is it possible to root z5p on 6.0.1?
A. YESSS
Q. without loosing settings data?
A. NO
Q. why?
A. because rooting z5p running on 6.0.1 / kernel 3.1x; require unlocking bootloader. and the momment u unlock you boot loader (a) your internal storage / TA Partitions gets Wiped (b) and you looks your DRM keys / FIDO Keys
Q. why do u need DRM keys?
A. frankly , have rooted fone, and i never had chance to save my keys! because you can only save yoru keys on LP kernel! and MM kerna don't have workaround! , i have kernel having DRM stimulation fixed so X-reality and camera 4k feature works fine.
DRM keys are Digital rights managment keys comes in play when Sony software running in xperia validate themselve and runs with full features!. modified kernal has drm stimulant installed so kernel still report these setting/software that keys are there (even when they arent)
Fido keys are required by Google authentication login.
having drm keys / fido keys/ backup is a PLUS point!, if you don't have . then still for me no biggy!

So it won't be possible to root and run the original ROM? I guess that means I miss out on future OTA updates :-/
Seems like a lot of hassle for little gain :-/
Also it seems I probably won't choose Sony again, I feel that when I pay good money for a phone, I should be able to use it as I please. And Sony is actively trying to stop me from doing that.

it is Original Rom, just kernel is MODIFIED to give you root access.
- sony OTA don't check your root access it only refer to unlock/lock boot loader and push OTA. if you RELOCK your bootloader by (flashTOOL)
http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php , your device will get OTA.
- remember after any major system OTA your root access will be gone
- All major devices Samsung / HTC / LG / SONY / Huawai has extra securities enabled from Android 6x.x making hard to break and gain root access.
- Oneplus3 , Xiomi phones and others have one click root enable feature (from developer options)
- but yes i agree, Sony went one step ahead with DRM keys. feels like making deal with devil in order to have root access. breaking sony devices is Pain in the XXXX
- I prefer rooted phones as they give you freedom to control your ram and remove bloatware.
- I also prefer xperias because they are more reliable and once rooted they get even better!
- i have rooted x5p and works like a charm (6.01 / .253)
z5p modified STOCK kernels can be found at (version .253) https://mega.nz/#F!KwZhjLIK!uNbDzR6lCXMaaW7jKFS1WQ!vogFiYiL (respects to @KbaB.BroS

people have misconception about devices! many of my literate/ job holding friends thinks that Android is Samsung galaxy / note series ONLY! , for them if galaxy s6 is failing, S7's battery is xploding then its a failure of ANDROID!
for such people , YES i agree they shouldn't try tasting the custom cooked modded Android! , better buy iphone / lumia !
I agree with you! I bought sony , its expensive as compare to other devices! , I should hold BETTER control over my hardware than sony! its my hardware now! and i will take care of it! i know i can take care of it

HTC One m8 hide root

Hi,
First of all I'm new here. I have recently rooted and installed Lineage OS on my HTC One m8. I have noticed that one of my apps (Adidas Confirmed) does not support rooted devices. Therefore I just tried (15 min ago) to flash SUhide on my phone. This resulted in a boot-loop and I therefore had to restore my device. Is there any other way to hide the fact that my device is rooted? As far as I know Xposed framework isn't out yet for Android 7.0 and I can't get Cydia substrate to work with root cloak. Btw I have S-off (not sure if this makes a difference to why the methods I have tried didn't work or not. Just wanted to mention)
Thanks in advance!

There's no Xposed Framework for Nougat. Maybe he can try to use Magisk. Magisk has option to hide the root.

No, you don't need to. S-OFF is giving you more permissions, like to flash h/k mod on sense rom or to flash firmware easily.

I cannot give you a definative answer concerning your ROM mut I too have a rooted HTC One (M8). Post rooting I tried various ROMs from Cyanogen mod but none of these were very up-to-date for long and Android has been quite vulnerable since most manufacturers take an expediant and cynical view when it comes to supporting non-cutting edge hardware (HTC was one of the worst) and supplying security patches. I should add I try to avoid Google and the big social media platforms because I am not prepared to trade privacy (hand over personal data) for the sake of functionality. So, I have been using Moke ROM - MK60.1 Android security patch 1 April 2017. I tried usin MK71 Nightly OTA release but found them unstable - they lost dialer and network functionality after 24 hours. This is where my comments become more relevant. I have several proprietry UK banking apps installed including FinTek ones. None of them is supposed to instal on a rooted device, not at least without saying 'rooted - no go'. Under settings, developer options root access is controlled. The options are: Disabled Apps only ADB only Apps and ADB. None of the Fintek apps function but the main legacy bank app does even though it is not supposed to. In conclusion it seems to be that the app has code capable of interrogating the phone OS and detecting rooted status. Depending on the quality of the program it may correctly determin rooted status, or not. It is highly unlikely there is any intervention available to the rooter to combat this.

Thanks for the reply! In the meantime, I have bought a Samsung galaxy s8 and put my HTC One m8 on a shelf. However, I remember that I managed to solve the issue somehow through Magisk and their "hide root function". It may have been because of an update to the Adidas app or a Magisk update, I am not sure. Hope this was somewhat helpful

Magisk is indeed a solution. It's been updated to (currently) hide root successfully from Safety Net. Although Google may update it again, and break the hide function. So the cat and mouse game goes on. But so far topjohnwu is aggressively keeping Magisk updated to bypass Safety Net.
Apps may use other methods to detect root besides Safety Net. But Safety Net is probably the most common method. Magisk works for me, in hiding root from Netflix and banking apps on my current device (OnePlus 3T).
More recent versions of SuperSU also have a function to hide root (current version is 2.82). I personally haven't tried it. But reports I've read are positive.
Xposed is a no-go, as far as I know. It inherently breaks SafetyNet. So whatever means the Xposed module used before to hide root, won't work now. Again, AFAIK (haven't personally tried, and not really an xposed user).
Also note that some custom ROMs may also trip Safety Net. And if so, there is nothing the Magisk Hide and SuperSU hide function can do about that. But I think this does not apply to Lineage (hide still works).

A5 root method ....i have some questions...sorry!

Hi !
It's "really" possible to root with "magisk" ? Or other?.... but with systemless method & WITHOUT touch the flagship efuse knox...

To root you'll first have to flash TWRP recovery in Odin, which will trip knox.
No method to root without it.

Really? No other at this time?.......ok thank you

With lots of research about root ....and Samsung i conclude (if i have correctly understood) that with the galaxy S6 ,chainfire have done the exploit to keep devices "clean"(knox flagship,s-healf ,samsung pay......etc....and lots of apps working by creating "systemless" root , but samsung devellop and update all their security.....and Chainfire is losing the fight since S7,S8....last note..."A" series...
There are less and less apps for root devices too...
And it's possible that it's the little begining of the end of development ===> in "theory" it's stupid to buy expensively a phone for to loose functionnalities and security + warranty ....in this case we can buy an old second-hand or a low-end device for to fiddle.
But we need root for some goods optimisations ,debloats and remove spam ....really pity !!!!! And this A series 2017 is a really great phone...
I have seen that towelroot ,pingpongroot....would root (galaxy S7 MM,) without tripping knox but not "really" confirmed here in xda ( the very serious reliable "bible" of android world).....but if it really root without tripping knox ,it's possible to have problem with some samsung components and playstore apps...i don't know .

Yes, I badly want to root my phone too but am afraid to lose warranty. I even contacted the Samsung Customer Service Support in my country to confirm whether rooting will void my warranty and they say that.
BTW I see that your location's in France. I read somewhere here that in EU, tripping Knox doesn't void warranty. So you can just root away without concern.

Question Debaloting zfold 3

How to uninstall carrier/OEM bloatware without root access
If you want to get rid of carrier/OEM apps from your phone, here's how you can uninstall bloatware from your device without root access!
www.xda-developers.com

At the bottom is the link to show steps to disable/uninstall, as well as a list of all apps that can technically be removed without breaking phone function. Not all of the apps in the link are present on our phones, as this is a list showing every non essential app that can appear on a samsung device. Of course some will be needed pending what functions you use.
There are two methods to do this via adb. You can either disable the apps, or uninstall them for user 0 (you). Disable ones you might want to bring back, uninstall ones you know you don't ever want. Uninstalled apps can still be reinstalled, so no worries.
What I personally removed/disabled
- Samsung Browser
- Chrome Browser
- Feedback App
- Youtube
- Bixby (Literally all bixby apps on the phone. dictation, routines, vision, voice)
- Samsung Weather
- What's New
- Samsung Free
- Samsung Members
- Samsung Checkout
- Samsung Pass
- Voice Wake Up
- AR Emoji
- AR Emoji Editor
- AR Emoji Stickers
- Google Play Services for AR
- Facebook app manager
- Facebook Installer
- Facebook Services
- Onedrive
- Deco Pic
- Game Launcher
- Gallery (I use f-stop. Note stock gallery is needed to view pics directly from camera app though)
- Visual Voicemal (I use T-mobile visual voicemail)
- Printing Service Components (all of them)
- I BELIEVE I AM FORGETTING A FEW, BUT OH WELL

Hello, found this list for adb debloating samsung devices. Can anyone try and report which are safe to remove, so everything works? Maybe make a list of lite debload, normal debloat and full debloat? Ive seen this done on many samsung threads. Thanks :
debloat script
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Btw the -k in that script makes the phone keep all user data and cache for the app it's uninstalling. That can be removed.
A lot of those apps aren't on our phones though

I have a zip that debloats a load of crap.
It's working and forms part of my rom so I can take the unrelated crap out and share later if needed
Iv knocked a gb off the ram used it seems too
