Didn't really know if this was the right place to post this, but I was just wondering what everyone uses their rooted me7 S4 for? Like what sort of apps do you utilize since there isn't much as far as customizing that we can do without an unlocked bootloader. Just a discussion for everyone to spitball in while we wait for the next android god to unlock our phones!

Used to do it for the different ROMs and using the MODs.
Now I've kind of outgrown the whole "crack-flashing" phase, and just root it to try any new ground-breaking MOD/ROM/App, etc.
Also, I just love knowing that I have the freedom of being Rooted.
XDA community is beautiful.
It's easier just to name the apps I mainly use when rooted:
AdAway (ad blocker)
Titanium Backup (backup app)
DroidWall (firewall)
Also uninstalling/freezing bloatware. Of course, it's awesome because you can flash ROMs, too.
Theming and removing bloat
I rooted so I could use Wallet, a few other apps and to remove bloat. I can't stand the crap Verizon puts on their phones. 3+ years ago, I'd flash a rom almost daily but I too have grown out of the crack flashing phase.
Well, at first I used admin/sudo/root to learn what made my computer work, and consequently what made it stop working, and how to repair things when the system didn't like what I did to it. Then how to make the computer more responsive through config edits.
When I got my first andriod it was pretty much the above all over again but way littler. I don't think I can count how many times I've soft bricked my phones by poking around in file systems I shouldn't have been poking around in.
Then I focused on how to make my devices faster without using prebuilt "OMGITSFASTHUMINAHUMINAHUMINA" script pack zips found across the internet and here. So learned how scripts worked in general to automate a lot of mundane functions.
Then, My buddy Kyle was working on a performance kang of liquid for the DX. I offered to help get more performance out of it. And then I eventually took over the ROM building in that project and a bunch of others for that series of devices.
Root isn't so much to me about "check it out bro I'm rooted, I've got stock cyanogenmod10 on, yeah high five" as it is about what I'm able to do with that ability and more importantly what I'm able to learn by actually using that ability. That's why I try to make my updater scripts print on screen what the script is doing... To potentially help someone who didn't know what was going on potentially learn a little bit.
Besides all that, I enjoy theming my UI. And with how much I end up flashing ROMs RomToolbox Pro has been my go to for app backups. :good:

Theoretically speaking you could run another ROM assuming it's compatible with the stock kernel.
It almost begs the question, maybe it's time for an In-Android (runtime) ROM flashing tool non-dependent on recovery. You wouldn't gain the other benefits of a normal recovery but you'd at least be able to flash ROM's, sans certain elements.
Aside from the performance and mod benefits, I find it therapeutic. Everytime I freeze/uninstall Vznavigator, Back up assistant plus, Verizon tones or anything Verizon related app I feel good knowing im doing mankind a favor by eliminating an atrocious and insulting excuse of an app.
Plus...theres nothing better than the feeling you get when you toggle that wifi hotspot switch on, especially after you've just successfully upgraded and kept your unlimited data by enduring the long, grueling and degrading task of dealing with the incompetence that is Vzw customer service.

I prefer to root just because of the awesome features.. Open source will always be popular and gives everyone their own chance to be different.
Remove bloatware, remove the persistent WiFi on the dropdown (which eats battery life), adaway so I get rid of stupid ads (I prefer to pay for the app and not the ads). ROM's when the bootloader gets unlocked (again).

Sorry to bounce backwards in posts, but I was unable to locate an app called Adaway. Is it not able to be found in the app store?

I want to change the LCD Density to a higher value on my Galaxy because its all a bit too small for me.
I am using an app called Resolution Changer (and have tried a few other similar apps that do the same job and work fine) to set the the phone to a higher DPI and all becomes much more usable and looks bit bigger and better on screen. Everything works perfectly smoothly except the Samsung Phone/Contacts/Messaging & Camera apps that instantly FC. The Messaging and Camera apps don't matter because I simply use a 3rd party app and the problem gets easily solved. However the Phone/Contacts app is a real problem because the phone becomes useless as "phone".. and using a 3rd party dialer doesn't fix the problem because these add-on dialers still need the native phone app to actually make/receive a call (basically Android 3rd party dialers are actually just a skin on top of the native phone app).
I have been reading that the Phone/Contacts app from 4.2 leak allows for working at higher DPI without any problems or crashes.
Could someone verify this information and if possible, post a download link of the S3 Phone/Contacts app from 4.2 so I can try? I have no idea where to get the correct Phone/Contacts apk
Thanks very much in advance for any feedback or and help in getting the correct file/s.

You can't simply use the apk from 4.2. You'd need the whole rom.
Another suggestion... maybe mention "increase dpi, phone app fc" in title as I think there maybe some modified versions that people may know about?

What I mean is if you're on 4.1.2, the 4.2 apk probably wont work, so you will need to be on the right ROM.. Also you need root if you just want the apks, they're not installable. Probably will work across all 4.2 samsung devices, but not 4.1.2 devices.

Correct. I am already on 4.2 ROMs on my devices and they are all rooted. And certainly the Phone/Contacts apps are not installable. I will just push them directly into the system/app directory and overwrite the current ones. After wipping all of their data & caches & clearing settings on some dependencies plus a reboot, I am hoping it will work. And all is backed, so the risk and liability are zero.. whatever doesn't work or renders any experiment into a failure, is just a CWM Recovery away
So all I need now is a 4.2 ROM Phone/Contacts apks from the S3 and see where that leads me to:highfive:

Download something like Omega or Wanam lite in "Android development". Wanam lite, smaller so quicker to rip the apk's out of. Both deodexed.

The answer is the super user icon. I can't post an image because this forum has crap restrictions on new users but its there.
Google Experience Launcher:
I found a way to get most of the S5 fingerprints off of the phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/apps-google-experience-launcher-gel-app-t2529594
Easiest way to install is to download the launcher (file size 11.82 MB). No need for the "google search app" since it is already installed.
No root required - APKs are signed by Google, are safe to install and were not tampered with in any way.
Now you have a "nexus" like phone complete with wallpaper. Camera (and other apps) as well as the system tray are still Touchwiz.
Samsung's magazine app (left of the home screen) is also replaced by "Google Now".
Best of both worlds.
In addition you can look at the thread in my sig for the ported apps directory. You can install nearly all the stock Nexus apps. Then just disable all the built in S5 ones or uninstall if rooted. Also if your rooted, im sure by using Xposed mods you can change some of the theming back to aosp.
Coming from a long line of rooted Nexus phones, I picked up an S5 primarily to get wifi calling (no service at work otherwise).
Can anyone say if the GEL removes this capability? Any other feature losses?

Wifi calling is "baked" into the firmware so changing your launcher has no affect on that. You may loose the Samsung widgets because you've changed the launcher.

My job gives me a Samsing S4 from Verizon that is filled with bloat. I have to manually go in and disable everything which takes about 4 hours or so. I am looking for an app that can do it for me but it needs to be a well known app not something that somebody just posts an apk. Any auggestions?
We are not allowed to root the phones. It would be great if I could put a googe play edition or developer edition rom on it or something but I don't think that's possible.

You will have to root your phone for all this. You can only flash stock rom on the device without rooting it.
What bloat wares are we talking about specifically? Do you mean all the S-voice/S-Note/Air gestures??
They can be activated and deactivated from the pull down menu. Other things need to be disabled manually!There is no work around this without root. You can try the widgets on the screen that allow you to disable wi-fi and bluetooth but its nothing new than what samsung offers from the pulldown menu

You can't remove system apps without root. Clean Master has a function to remove bloat if you're rooted. I don't know if this is changed to disabling if you're not rooted, because my devices are rooted. I seem to remember a previous version of Clean Master had something like that. It merely took you to the app info scree, one at a time, but at least it did it sequentially instead of you having to hunt for each one on your own. Maybe that still exists.
Since Android 4.1, many bloatware type apps can just be disabled via the the built-in Application Manager in your Settings app. Disabling it will hide it from the launcher and make it so it does not run, essentially doing the same thing as uninstalling it. It is better this way because some phones will not properly update if something is modified or removed from the /system partition. Also worth noting in regards to this as it is a popular misconception, removing these unwanted apps will not provide you with more usable storage as they are contained in /system/app and the apps you install via the Play Store or 3rd party sources will only install to /data/app unless rooted and moved.
That being said, TowelRoot is a newer rooting method for many newer phones running 4.4+(especially Galaxies like the S4 and Note 3). This root method is done via an app on the phone and only takes seconds and does not trip Knox. You could root, freeze what you needed and then unroot without anyone the wiser, though, of course, this is done at your own risk - like any other mod.

Yes you can disable them but it takes about 4 hours to do it each time. There's a lot of them. About 95% of stuff needs to be disabled.
Towelroot looks great unfortunately I am not able to root the phone. They don't use knox. I can do anything but root the phone really. I really just want vanilla android I'm a bit sick of touchwiz. I'd love to just flash to the developer edition or something.

The S4s bootloader is locked so basically not a lot to choose from. And as others have mentioned you need root to gain access to remove bloatware. Sadly samsung phones on VZW are filled with it as well as many other phones, it's not limited to just samsung.
And navigator may be better than Google maps but maps is free and having been a former user of both NFL mobile (when it was free) and navigator I'm happy I got rid of both of them

I agree, I went back to not rooted and pray for OTA updates, even it's naive
If i ever going to root, one of the main factor would be for GMD gestures. Couple of finger swipes to close apps, lock screen, switch apps adds tremendous amount of button freedom and control.
I'm going to rooting to get complete control of memory (internal and SD) and app authorizations...
