Hello guys,
i've just bought this wonderfull device and i'm loving it...
so much that despite my signature i'm thinking to stay stock and not rooted for a while
but
i notice ram load gets around 1.1 gb out of 1.7 gb frquently and that loads of "bloatware apps" get in the ram memory.
now since i'm not rooted, is there any app or way to choose which apps must not open and get in the ram automatically ?
thanks
Not any effective way without root, I think. Task killers would only make the apps restart constantly and drain your battery. Greenify is really the best solution, but needs root.
However I must point out that unused ram is wasted ram. I've seen many users fanatic about keeping ram usage low, it's like having a huge gas tank on a car, but never filling more than a litre of gas.

No such productive app until you root your device .
Best thing is to root.
Worst thing is to Task Manager.
:good:
ok guys, so i guess going over 1gb of used ram is routine and not overloading
so for the time being i'll leave it as it is
thanks all

Just to remind you again, don't use RAM/Application killers. It's not effective and will make you consume more battery.
yep got it
You can delete some bloatwares in an official firmware from your PC and then you flash via Odin.

This is possible but may complicate things.
I suggest stick to what you have now and if you decide to root, then it will be a piece of cake.
You can always go back to stock Samsung if you are just afraid of losing warranty.
yes i agree
but just so that i know :
OFFICIALLY, when you first root your phone, you have lost warranty once and forever ? i know you can flash back to stock and nobody will notice
it's just to understand properly how it works

You will void your warranty when you root.
You will get it back if you flash the stock Samsung firmware.

Rooted = Warranty is now void
Flash Stock Samsung Firmware + Unroot = Warranty OFFICIALLY back

This is not right for a few months:
Legality
Australia
Rooting of any device is legal if the purpose is to run legal apps
Europe
The Free Software Foundation Europe argues that it is legal to root or flash any device. According to the European Directive 1999/44/CE, replacing the original operating system with another does not void the statutory warranty that covers the hardware of the device for two years unless the seller can prove that the modification caused the defect.
United States
On July 26, 2010, the United States Copyright Office announced a new exemption making it officially legal to root a device and run unauthorized third-party applications, as well as the ability to unlock any cell phone for use on multiple carriers.
On October 28, 2012, the US Copyright Office updated their exemption policies. The rooting of smartphones continues to be legal "where circumvention is accomplished for the sole purpose of enabling interoperability of [lawfully obtained software] applications with computer programs on the telephone handset." However, the U.S. Copyright office refused to extend this exemption to tablets, arguing that the term "tablets" is broad and ill-defined, and an exemption to this class of devices could have unintended side effects

samsung should give repairs under warranty if devices are found to be non stock ?
Hello !
I just updated to stock DDUEML4 (baseband : DDEMK1). Everything works fine but the downloading/odin mode displays Warranty Void : 1 which is probably because of KNOX I'm unable to find any solution on the web to go back to non-KNOX rom and remove the counter. Please help !

Yes its a KNOX counter. I read somewhere that downgrading the bootloader removes KNOW, but for now I'm not going to try that as I might even brick my phone

Yes I know.
There's a post by Dr.ketan to remove knox by downgrading the bootloader, but not sure whether it would work for my ddueml4 rom.
But I'm thinking to root and install a custom 4.3 rom.
Will Sony warranty still cover me if I flash via flashtool another country's stock Sony firmware ? (Of course without root and with locked bootloader).
I ask because there is no .ftf file for my country's firmware anywhere uploaded. Thanks
You asked on your other thread the other day so not sure why you feel the need to start another. You could flash an ftf and destroy your Phone on the first attempt, it's highly unlikely but could happen so there are no guarantees that that won't happen or that Sony will repair under warranty.

Your warranty won't be void if you flash a firmware from another country...

Thank you guys ! But there is no definite answer here! I From my android experience I tend to agree with zxz0O0 (Samsung had this policy) but I can't say I'm sure.

Using third party software to mod your device is a risk you take as to whether or not you'll be covered by warranty regardless of the manufacturer, so you can deliberate over the risks or just crack on and do it. In the 4 years I've been here and 5 Xperias later I've never had to send a Phone for any kind of repair and the handful of People I've seen that have have been extremely unlucky and/or maybe shouldn't have been allowed to mess with a Nokia.
Hi guys
I installed [ROM] AndroidNow HD 1.7 G3 D855 [V10L/support ART] on my LG G3 via BUMP(TWRP)
Now I want to know if there is any way to install STOCK ROM back(this one which was on phone when I get it) If answer is yes, where do I get flash file for it?
Also can I unroot and remove BUMP ? I'm asking because of warranty...Thank you
you have NO warranty as you have flashed a custom rom/recovery and rooted (depending on country and/or fault with device) also use the search button as this has already been covered plenty.

so what? does he have warranty or not?
you don`t know the fault and you don`t know the warranty restrictions of slovenia (europe) in this case.
please tell only facts about warranty and no assumptions. thanks.

technically you void the warranty by modifying the phone, however, there are arguments especially in the EU that a software fault cannot breach the warranty for faulty hardware etc.
also if you flash back to stock they have no way of knowing what you did, also from experience they tend to not care anyway.
Thank you guys for all your answers to my question.
Specially to the guy , who gave me the link to the KDZ image file and FLASH tool.
I will try to restore my LG G3 back to STOCK ROM because of update to android L(Lolipop).

If you are returning to stock only for the Lollipop update you might want to just wait because I'm sure we'll have a working Bump'd port by the time LG starts rolling out the update near the end of this year. That being said, you may still receive the update before us, but Autoprime and TheCubed have warned us not to take OTA updates because Qualcomm is rolling out its anti-rollback updates soon that may prevent you from ever unlocking this phone again and may make you lose root for a long time. I'm sure that LG is working on patching Bump in the 5.0 update so just be warned that you may never get a custom recovery on this phone again if you choose to take the official update. I am relying on the devs here to get us a Bump'd version so I can keep this beast free. That's just my two cents and it's your decision I just wanted to warn you about the risk. Have a good day man!
Thank you for your answer. Yes I heard about this news(qualcom,..) but I will go back to stock, after that I will ROOT my phone again and install BUMP. Do you have any information about when the BUMP tool will be released so cyanogenmod and other ROM's will come?
EDIT: Will this method also work: http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html ?

i think it will work but i find the method with lg flash tool 2014 and kdz easier because you dont have to set so "many" things
As the original question has been answered and there are existing threads for any follow up's ....

My CSC code is MID, and I live in Jordan, right besides Israel, which has the ILO CSC code. Israeli firmware seems to get updates much faster than mine. Is it okay to change the firmware to the Israeli version? Would the CSC code matter anyways?
As long as it's the same module number, yes.

Do I have to remove my ROM and flash the other one, or do I just flash the new one over the one I have right now as an update?

Flash it over the one you have. You don't have to delete anything.

I not entirely sure but I think not. Your warranty will be void. But you can always flash the old rom back and get your warranty back as well.

It's not void. + I've flashed the new rom (using csc home) but the csc did not change.
