Is it possible to hold back to kill without root? It's driving me crazy because I have never had an unrooted phone. This feature is important to me.
Try All in one Geastures (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures). It doesn't require root at all so its very useful.

Samsung really messed up right now, they're trying to replace Google services with their BS! First they removed Google TTS (which I had to manually put back through root). Holding down the menu button brings up Sfinder instead of Google now, they don't let you OTA if you've rooted. Wtf is going on! I'd personally like the option to choose to open Google apps instead of having to use Sfinder and svoice. Is anyone else feeling kind of pissed about this stuff

Agreed. Hopefully one of our debs will come up with a way to re map or hardware keys soon. As for the no otas, could not believe that.

Hold the menu button in Nova and keep it held for an additional second or 2 and Sfinder will pop up. I disabled it through root explorer

personally why would you want to OTA with root? Chances are you will lose root. They do that for safety, less problems. I remember phones bricking all the time when you did OTA, just do the updates from xda. And personally... I'd never compare samsung to apple. That is just a horrible thing to do man.:silly:

I was unable to boot the MI5 deodexed rom so in my case I needed the latest firmware which wasn't available in a tar file.

well Id recommend waiting. It might be harder to root again if u go back to stock
Now I'm stock with root and I'm up to date on the latest firmware. It took a while though because of the whole device status blocking an OTA but I got it. Now I'm just gonna wait for more custom roms to release

That the reason I root my note 3 , uninstall the annoying s finder using titanium backup . After I remove everything is working fine now! I hope you guys doing well too.
Another annoying thing is that I can no longer hide useless apps from my app drawer. They all have to be there. I HATE THAT! But I love touchwiz

I am wondering if a task killer is needed for my s4. Current try I only use greenify but u feel like with myself ope I got so many different apps it would be beneficial to.kill the ones I'm not currently try using to give more battery and speed. Does android do this by itself and therefore I do not need one or? I did try advanced task killer but when I kill the apps the come right back. Since then I have restored and did not install ATK.
Let me know your opinions
Thanks

That's up to you. Android is pretty good at dumping old apps to free up ram. What a lot of people over look is that the android system keeps apps in memory to make them load quicker when you open them again. The only thing I really do is just clear my apps from the recent screen every once in a while.

Let Android manage things, it's a lot smarter about it than we are.
The only caveat I have in this area is an app called Greenify. I'm using it to make it easier to stop a few apps from running in the background when I'm not using them - in particular an app called "Viki" (provides access to TV/movies from Asia) that is endlessly active in the background for no good reason and keeps my phone from getting into deep sleep. So I tell the Greenify app to hibernate it when I'm not using it, and deep sleep is back and battery life is good again.
But I agree strongly that using "active" task managers that try to manage your apps for you are not necessary, and can be detrimental on Android.

As he stated in the OP, he already users greenify.
I agree, task killers are stupid. The only other thing I would recommend besides that is android firewall and an automation app like tasker

Hey gang,
I'm on a rooted Tmobile variant and I just recently noticed I don't have the Quick Memo app. It seems like it's called something else now but basically the same thing. I've not done anything other than rooting. I froze some apps but I went back into Titanium Backup just to be sure anything that could even remotely have disabled the app was defrosted. I found (what appears to be) the app in the system. I installed it via the apk... Checked the permissions etc. It just doesn't seem to be workin. I know it was before I rooted it last week..... Weird... Any thoughts on this?
Anyone had the same issue?

Try going to about phone option under settings and select update center. Select app updates and see if it's installed there.

Totally worked, thanks. I had frozen the app update center for LG... Also explained why the stock calculator was missing... Hahha

To all the folks with bigger brains than I,
Ever since I updated the phone via LG AirDrive, the stock text messaging app has been slow and crashing a lot. It's not my phone service, as Hangouts works just fine. But once I jump into the stock text messaging app, it eats it and crashes.
I searched this forum, could find nothing specific on this problem, so I submit this to you awesome people.
I've turned off haptic feedback, I've disabled Swiftkey and am using the default keyboard. No difference.
Thank you.
Try to backup via lg backup then factory reset phone and restore again.

I notice a definite lag with the stock messaging app also. But no crashes. It opens very quick, but when I tap a conversation it shows the tap instantly, but it takes about 3 seconds to open it.

Maybe try going into Settings/General/Apps/Messaging then force stop, then click on Storage, Clear cache. Reboot phone and don't touch the phone and maybe wait 15 minutes then reboot phone again and see if it's still lags or freezes.

Same thing is happening to my V10. Started 3 days ago. It starts when I reply to a message. The app crashes and when I relaunch it instantly failed the message and I have to click retry to which then it works. Super annoying though. I did the marshmallow upgrade via air Drive when it was launched also.
Textra FTW
Hey guys, OP here.
Instead of messing with the stock messaging app in Marshmallow, I downloaded and installed Textra. Has all the same functionality as the default messaging app, and unlike the default messaging app, it works flawlessly in Marshmallow on my V10. You get a week of the full program for free when you download and install it from Google Play, and I believe it's $1.99 for an ad-free experience. A great investment, IMHO.
So, TLDR; Textra works where messaging doesn't.
Good luck everyone.
Google messenger seems to work flawless as well for me (now that T-Mobile finally fixed my mms issue)
But yeah Textra is a fine alternative if needed
