Hi, I actually haven't rooted my S3 yet but in updating to jelly bean Barclays is convinced that I have!
Anyway imo they have a totally arbitrary and blinkered approach to security so I'm ditching them.
What I'd like to know is your experiences of bank apps and if they work with rooted handsets (i plan to root in the future).
I have the HSBC app which works but is limited to giving mini statements only.
Ideally I'd like an app that is as fully featured as possible, allowing transfers and the like. I've heard that Halifax offer this but I can't find info if it works with root.
Any experiences would be a great help and much appreciated. Thanks

I have as well barclays and hsbc ? have you found anything by now about Halifax? Although i don't like barclays from the same reason (I had an unrooted s3 and note 3 and several times they where saying there rooted), i heard barclays has good security.

You can check out the Xposed Framework and the RootCloak module to see what apps are supported to hide that you are rooted.
It's not just the UK. Most banking apps won't work when rooted for me either and the xposed mod doesn't help with either of them.

There is a reason they dont work. Rooted devices are not as secure as non rooted devices. This is why they refuse to allow rooted devices to work with the app.
I can understand that but a windows computer you can consider it more dangerous and there you have root access.

If you look deeper no you dont. In most windows you are not even marked as the owner by default. That is why you have o run some programs with admin rights.
Plus Root can be exploited without you even knowing, There was once a glitch found with root that an app could be granted root access without you even knowing. IT would not even popup the root request but it would be granted root rights with no trace.
I don't want to create a debate or anything.... We are getting of topic anyway.
Now on the topic itself...
Hsbc app works good on rooted phones. From what I know barclays is the only uk bank app that does not work on rooted devices!
Halifax and Systemless root
Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 rooted. Up until now, the Halifax Banking App has always worked since the rooting method I used with "systemless". In the latest update of the app, it is now telling me that I am rooted. Anyone found a way round this please?
I run both a rooted phone and tablet in the UK. Santander does not run after their latest update. Most are starting to use the Google safety net API so I would expect HSBC to block soon (they are just a bit slow). The only one I know that actively recognises root and let's you carry on is First Direct.
The irony is I can run them all on an ancient phone on 5.1 cos it's not rooted only missing 3 years security patches!!!

Hi
I want to know what is your personally reason for root the phone?
I rooted my phone because want to try something new, i like changes, want to know something about rooting, want to install add away and call recorder from skvalex.
What about You ? Which apps do you use for rooted phones?
P.S
This thread can give me ideas or new way to use phone, new apps which i dont know, etc.
I do it because I can. And because I like the freedom root access allows.

I personally root to customise it.
Get rid of bloatware, get inverted Google apps.
To me stock is how samsung want it and root is how I want it.

But what " freedom root access" mean? What do you have with it and what do you do ? That what i want to know because i want discover more then i know - even if i dont know
I rooted due to customization, few apps like titanium backup pro, cwm, reverse Tethering
I love to be controller of my gadget not some os
Android as-is offers a lot of customization, but rooting it unlocks a whole new level of customization and offers things never possible without root privileges.
How some people can enjoy the locked-down state of iOS is beyond me, or letting themselves be controlled by Apple in the first place.
It offer you more option to do with your phone.
Hope I help u

Custom ROMS. That's why I rooted and I like the terminal emulator better with SU access.

Root comes stock with CM10.1, and one of the key reason for root would be for backup.
You can access all the different root directories to transfer files and sync it automatically in the night when you're sleeping!
Because I get lonely sometimes.

I came into rooting because I bought a Vodafone 360[i8320] which had linux mobile on it and great specs for that day. With that phone you could connect to the Vodafone 360 forum were you can buy apps(limo) for €5 and share your contacts and connect to 360 people.
Within +/- a year the 360 forum was dead. I found the H1 Droid forum were people weer busy porting Android on that phone. It had much benefits: custom roms flashing and making backups, adjusting the phone in every aspect; from keylayout to dpi to overclocking to kernel adjusting. Getting adds out of free apps and getting apps for free.
Nowadays I enjoy a G. Nexus which I immediately rooted after buying it.

Rooted
to use some of the apps and try diffrent ROM
Hey guys, I was just wondering if maybe anybody over here could help us get root on the new Samsung galaxy avant. Or even give us some pointers on how to obtain root on the device.
I can try to pull any files that are needed and help out any way I can.
Any words of wisdom would be nice, or to tell me to get out of here. That works too. Just needing some more experienced people to help out if at all possible. Thanks ?
I'm trying to get the same info. Just got my Avant and am so used to running custom roms in my other phones. Still have my build from the collective on my S2 but it's about to die and I will get a new S5. But I can't deal with the bloat ware and not having control of my phone. I've had it 24 hours and I'm about to throw it against the wall because all the junk apps and settings. Other than that it might be a good phone .

Hey planterz, thanks.
Do you know if anyone has even started on this phone or is it too new?
I'm sure there is some kit Kat development going on though , right?

If you read through that thread, then you know as much as I do, sorry to say. I've been checking other forums as well. The Avant has KNOX, as well as Qualcomm Secureboot. For whatever reason, T-Mobile has locked this device down hard. Nothing is impossible, of course (look at the AT&T/Verizon Note 3/GS5 and Towelroot - which unfortunately doesn't work on the Avant), but it might take some time to find root for the Avant, and maybe even longer for a way that doesn't void your warranty and/or permanently prevent updates.
Yeah, I posted this somewhere else trying to get some people interested but guess it got moved.

Yeah we have it sorted out on the other thread for this. Linked in the above comments
Now that we have root, what's next?
Hi, my Avant is the first phone I've been compelled to root. I had done some research, picked up a few apps that were recommended (i.e. AdFree), using a different launcher, etc..
It's been a great step forward, and now I'm hunting for the next step. Going into ROM Toolbox and deleting everything that looks unnecessary or bloatesque seems like a great way to brick the phone. Is there any way to determine what can be eliminated without catastrophe, or a list of egregious resource hording apps?
When it come to deleting apps I don't think it's possible to brick the phone. You can pretty much delete any app you want and replace it with a third party one. I've removed everything except the launcher, messages, phone, the tmobile app (since I pay my bill through it) etc etc. Just use root Uninstaller and back up any app you might think could cause a problem.

I currently own this device and am liking it except for the fact that it overheats and the battery life is horrible. Is there a fix
You can root it by using towel root and then after rooting you can download set cpu app from playstore which can increase batterylife or you can increase your phones performance.
Hope it helps!!!!:thumbup:

No you can not. Towel root doesn't work for the avant. Last time I checked anyways.
Easiest way to root it is flash twrp using odin, then flash the newest supersu.zip in twrp.
I'm new
I'm a brand new to all of this and I have a Galaxy Avant that I want to root. I've read thru the threads and am still confused. I can't use towelroot.com on this phone and the apps for rooting in the app store don't work. Do I have to root using a pc or can I do it without one? How??
People who use banking apps and depend on them (me) will know, that the idiots at Barclays blocked their apps from working on our rooted devices. For a while, there were workarounds but with the latest updates, there is no workaround. You can't use Barclaycard banking apps if you're rooted, [email protected]#!}£§!!¥}&}|$! [emoji35]
That's 70% of my work and usage of this smartphone down the drain!
And now, we can add Halifax to that list! Their updated app also won't run if you're rooted, bah.
We really need to find workarounds to these. This is simply untenable. It is my choice to root for more ease, comfort, personalisation and productivity, and our own responsibility. Denying us access will only make it worse!

Surely its a security issue and the bank are being ... secure !
So they were unsecure for the past 5 years of my usage? [emoji43]
My choice tho, I'm running the app and its my account I'm using.
My card, I can use it how I want, and can give it to whoever. It's my responsibility. Not that they disallow me from using a card!

I upgraded from Google Wallet to Android Pay for NFC payments today and when I set up my card it gives me the error "Android Pay cannot be used Google is unable to verify that your device or the software running on it is Android compatible" (yes, "Android," not "Android Pay"). Is anybody else running into this? Trying to narrow to down whether this an incompatibility with CyanogenMod in particular or the phone being rooted/ROMed at all.

You're right, you cannot use Google pay with a rooted phone, I heard that there is an xposed module that hides root so that it be used.

Kingroot 4.02 version should do wonders. Google for Kingroot 4.02 Apk download. > Install the app > Open and Click Root.
Make sure your security apps are removed, and must have good internet connection. Let me know if this specific version of Kingroot works for you as well because the latest one failed and this one did wonders.
OK trying now

Not sure why it just gave you temporary root. But still, you got rid of unwanted things and that's good
Yes true but let's say for some reason my phone gets locked or stuck in a bootloop or something. The only way I'll ever be able to do a recovery is through settings Kyocera themselves said that is the only way. Therefore I need full permanent root and eventually a custom rom
