rooting - Galaxy View Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any word about root for this device?
Sent from my TouchPad using XDA Free mobile app

This is not a very popular device, I wouldn't expect a root unless kingroot does.

i wish i can learn this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943625
i trying read it but my brain melted after 2 mins

Have you tried rooting methods on the internet for Lollipop 5.1.1? It should be out there somewhere, not sure about a different recovery

Love this beast but it seems not a popular one?? Any update on rooting?
Love to root so that more apps can be used in split screen/floating mode.

i want more love for view xD

although I would love a more powerful processor and better screen, the device as is - is the perfect solution to my needs. Portrait mode would be a huge bonus

Why didn't Samsung add "portrait mode". I didn't even know it was possible not to have it, I haven't heard of any other device. SAMSUNG! FIX YOUR MISTAKE.

Still no news on rooting? I am really enjoying this unit, just want to add more apps to run split / multi window.
Just wondering if this can be done without rooting?

You can add apps to multi window without the need of root access. You just won't be able to update them through Google Play

No update via Google Play is fine. Would you post the instruction or where I can find the how to do it?
Thanks

You can add any app to floating window and multi window using an app called MW-Pen App Enabler

Would you confirm if it works on Android L? Does not seem to work on my Galaxy view.

It works on my Galaxy S6 edge+ Yeah, I'll give it a try soon and report back if it works on Galaxy View.

Doesn't seem to be so far although I am interested to know if someone has tried the new ExynosAbuse exploit to root their phone on a stock rom/kernel and had success.

You shouldn't be recommending anyone use Aptoide, it's a warez infested gimp haven!

Yes, that is true, but APKs that cannot be found on google play is usually uploaded on aptoide. Its morals, and anyone with morals would support the developer and purchase their app.. Not to say i have not downloaded any paid apps without paying for them, but i definitely have donated and purchased apps that have saved my ass such as speedview when my speedo was not working.
I uses ad away it uses less battery

Offline? You need to download app for phone and browse/install apps from it. Suppose its online! The same app as google play.
I dont see any offline .apk links for PC. The only offline .apk rep I know is f-droid.org

Adblock Plus is available from the Amazon Store, why not just download it from there?
https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
So, this [Adblock Plus for Android] will block annoying adds inside apps?
Is it recommended to also use the Adblock verion specifically for Firefox if you have this version installed?
Any issues using this alongside Android Firewall (besides the obvious one of needing to add Adblock to the whitelist so that it can download it's block list)?
Two other apps I'd recommend to anybody reading this thread: greenify and wakelock detector.

Adding more apps to multi window

I've seen some hacks for a few of the other samsung phones that let you add other apps to the multi window view instead of just the built in apps. Just wondering if any one has found a way to do that on our mega 6.3 yet?
you need to be on deodexed rom, it will be easy to mod.
Ok, thank you. I'll wait for a deodexed stock rom to show up.
Still waiting for the ClockWorkMod recovery to work, then we'll be in business..
I kind of knew this coming into this phone as the dev community probably wouldn't be as large as the flag ship phones, but the phone has been really good so far with the exception of the headphone volume being very low.

The multi window feature that comes with the phone is limited to some apps. This will allow you to add to the multi windows any app in your phone.
also you can go this way.

hope this helps, I am using the xposed installer and works great for me. (Samsung Note 2)
Strange, that play store app tells me I need root access and won't run. I am rooted already. I guess I'll take a look at the other option

I am rooted, just the play store app didn't work and said I needed root. Very weird...
I interpreted the post wrong. I thought I could choose either method separately but I believe the post is saying that you have to install both the xposed installer and the multi window manager. Neither one of them by itself worked for me but when I installed both apps it worked. I hope this helps those hsving problems.

Correct xposed allows you to install other things besides multi window mod. Also samsung has app called samsung multi pro or something similar to that. It will allow you to do the same but you have to pay for the app. I personally have no experience with it.
Good luck

A little off-topic but, dude, texting/posting while driving is pretty dumb. Not saying that to be mean, but you need to prioritize your's and other's safety ahead of responding to forums.
I got mine that working fine , you need only root your phone, install multi window manager from play store, it can let you add any apps you like
Yup, you are right. I tried that app when I first got the phone (after installing the root kernel) and it would keep giving me errors saying i wasn't rooted. I just tried the app again and it works perfectly. Thank you!

Stock browser

Is there any way someone could pull the stock browser.apk so I can side load it on my S5. The new s5 comes with chrome but I kinda like the S4 stock browser for certain things. I know there is at least one other member with an s5 that would like it too. I searched Google but couldn't find it.

Are you rooted? I haven't looked to see if there is root for the S5 yet... if so, you'd have to push it to system and change permissions to rw r r with a root explorer.

Yeah that's what I was thinking might work but there isn't root for the Verizon s5 yet. And I'm not sure if I could get away with rooting with Knox and being on the edge program. I don't think they would like the Knox counter marked when they get the phone back. I'll play with other Web browsers till I find one that suits my needs. Thanks for your help

My only problem with chrome is that it has problems with embedded youtube videos. Sometimes there isn't sound and other times the sound comes out of the ear speaker instead of the back. If it wasn't for that I would be happy with chrome

Minuum on G watch

I just got my link to Minuum for android wear. The only problem is that I'm at work and of course I don't have my cradle with me, so I'll have to wait till tonight. I tried using adb thru bluetooth but I'm not sure exactly how it works, so I guess it'll have to wait till tonight. So excited...
I got it about a week ago loaded on g watch but would not bring up a keyboard just instructions.

I got my invite, but I haven't installed it yet. Later tonight, I guess.
As far as I know, it's completely useless at the moment as Android Wear doesn't allow for keyboard input.

for now yes, but in the future. answer a sms from your watch without having to chose from a preset. or send that tiny whatsapp message from your watch. theres possibilities with it.
I tried it, got the app to run, but never managed to get the keyboard to pop up.
The only issue is that few/no apps support keyboard entry. I was hoping to test SWApp - that insists on keyboard entry at configuration (but no joy with that either).
Edit: fixed
It was a conflict with Wear Mini Launcher - some GPU resource issue maybe. On your phone, open wear mini launcher, set 'enable drawer' to off. Obviously this means you can't have the launcher active, but at least it is possible to test, without having to un-install.
