I'm thinking of rooting to get Greenify, is it worth it to root? I saw a while back that rooting the GS5 breaks some apps is that true? I'm not a noob either, I've been rooting and modifying my phone since I had the Nexus One.

Only app that gets broken is Private Mode when you root. But, that is fixed in some custom roms.
Rooting is worth it period in my book.
The sad thing is I actually use private mode. The main reason why I stick with it is because it allows me to use my fingerprint to authenticate.

I know there's a lot of advantages to rooting, but I only care about Greenify, that's one of my favorite root apps to use. I'll do it, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages

Rooting itself doesnt break private mode but installing xposed does. just wanted to make that clear. I am rooted and use private mode regularly.

If you root and trip Knox, Private Mode will not work. Just to be clear.

[HOW TO] Barclays Mobile Banking working on rooted S3
I hope someone comes up with a solution. Thanks for the link, I tried out the suggestion in that thread however still doesn't work.
Always comes up with just as your about to start streaming. Skygo is not supported on rooted Android devices.

I'm pretty surprised no-ones got this to work yet too! Shame really as I used to use skygo at work to watch crap when bored.
you can unroot it temporarily
I've tried many times and it only ever works if I completely reset/format the phone back to stock. Just surprised no-ones patched the apk accordingly!
use superSU's full unroot. if that doesn't work - uninstall superSU
Tried and tried ... Still fails to work, I can only get it to work by doing a full factory wipe and restore which tbh I can live without it, it's more of a case that I would of thought people would of patched the apk by now!
Cheers for the help though.
maybe you're doing something wrong, because the full unroot should work
I havent been able to find any concrete evidence saying one way or the other.
First is it possible to run Xposed on a rooted GS4 from Verizon?
Second what are the requirements for running it aside from requiring root access?
Currently I am using VRUAME7 with a 16Gb SD card formatted in exFat (never changed it after rooting).

I am on ME7 as well and I can say, without a doubt, Xposed works great. All you need is root, and a module like Wanam or Notach.

What version of Xposed are you using? I was just looking at Wanam on the Playstore and they have a link to v2.2.
Also how is your battery life? Right now I can pull a solid day and a half between charges with 50-55% screen time.

Xposed 2.2 is what I am using. Well I am constantly using my phone for so many different things all day long, and listening to music all the time as well. Still I get a full day out of my battery. It was the same before I started using Xposed.

I was just curious because when I boot my phone its also missing the clock on the lock screen. I think I may just uninstall Wanam if I can figure out how to return stock settings.

It could be a setting in wanam or something in the phone settings. Not missing my clock and have been using it for a month or two now. Wanam doesnt make any permanent changes to your phone so if you disable the module and reboot your phone will be setup how it was before you installed it.

Hey guys. I just rooted my Galaxy Mega with the Kingoapp, very easy and is awesome so far. I have supersu and a few rooted apps already. Just wanted to see if you guys have any suggestions of other apps to use with this since there isn't that many options with this device already. I do have Xposed Installer already as well.
Thank You
Well i think you should first install a custom recovery before you start to mod your device. That way you will have a way to recover your device. just in case that somthing goes wrong.

I would want to know what variant he has before suggesting he do something like that. If he has i527, he is going to have a brick with a 6.3 inch screen.
Yes, I thought I recognized from other post......he has ATT variant. We have no recovery yet.
DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING.
You have exposed and you have not upgraded yet. Keep your eye on your phone though, it may want to upgrade on its own. I am pretty sure root will protect you however.
Hopefully there will be more Xposed modules that work for you than me.

I would like to add that do not unroot and update to the new firmware. You will gain knox and it is a right pain. If you want to keep root access and custom recovery (as of writing this, there is no recovery for the AT&T variant), STAY ON JELLY BEAN to keep these privileges.
Wanam module. You can make it look like a custom rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I527 using XDA Free mobile app
do you have a custom launcher? if not you should try Nova launcher
Buy Titanium Backup Pro. Freeze the Auto Updates app. This way you don't have to worry about an OTA coming through and killing root. It's definitely worth the money even if this is the only thing you use it for.

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 .

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??
Anyone know if the my Verizon Mobile app is still asking for root. I quit using it cause I was suspicious but would like to use it again to monitor data and pay bill.
I don't think so, I side loaded what I think is the latest version and it didn't ask for root.

The code for root check is still in the apk.
Darn. Anyone know why I'm assuming to find something out to use against their users
They just want to know when you void your warranty. You might want to try xprivacy its able to take permissions away from apps.
I wonder if denying root is the same as no root to the app
Does anyone have the last apk before it started asking for root
