Ok so I'm fairly new to the whole rooting thing but I have been studying up quite abit. Lots of really good videos on youtube!! So I'm just looking for some direction on what kind of things I can/should do now that I have rooted my phone. Here is the break down so far:
Rooted - Towelroot
Root Browser Installed
BusyBox Installed
Safestrap Installed and backup saved
Titanium Back Up Installed. Most Bloatware has been safely removed with no issues thus far
SuperSu Installed
Terminal Emulator Installed
CPU Tuner installed but have absolutely no clue what I am doing - still researching this
I think that is about it. So any tipps on next direction would greatly be appreciated!!
Thanks in advance

O yes my S4 is NC5 and stock rom
Make phone calls... or browse the internet.
Mine does facebook good.
All the root, customization , ect. is just to make it do what YOU want it to do. If there isn't something your trying to get it to do that it doesn't... There isn't really a what next, be happy.
If there IS something your trying to get it to do that it doesn't... that next.
edit: though if your not using a custom rom you should probably freeze the program that controls OTA updates. Hopefully someone can chime in with what its called... Been awhile and I forget, and just flashed a rom instead of worrying about it last time I updated my phone.
Like you, I've frozen/killed/uninstalled all the crapware I could. Beyond that, all I've done is installed the Google Launcher. My phone is well behaved and pretty responsive, with minimal lag.
All I would really want at this point is an unlocked bootloader so I could install a straight Google ROM.

I'm on NC5 and have been happily running GPE ROM for quite awhile now. Only problem is the Kernel difference so there's no USB transfer.
Thanks for the reply's. Yeah I don't really game or anything. Heck I don't even Facebook lol but I would like to Play around with getting better battery life and maybe a little speed. Not that I really need too, the response is very good and the lag is only noticeable at times. I want to play around with the CPU tuner but I'm nervous about messing something up and I have not installed a new Kernel yet and from what I have read that is a must.

NO! Installing a new kernel on SafeStrap NC5 is not a must! It will brick your phone! You can use TW based ROMS and one or two very special AOSP Roms, no new kernels though!

I use android tuner for my tuning needs. Really expansive options and a really great app. If you want a really light ROM fort SS GPE ROMs are about 400-500MB. Gets rid of clunky touchwiz and solely runs on Google Now Launcher. Only bummer is the loss of the Touchwiz camera app.

HyperDrive is solid and a good ROM for those newer to 'all this' IMO. I am on BlackBox which is stupid fast and has great battery life but is a little buggy. I've had it on my phone for over a week now and have no plans of taking it off anytime soon. But it's up to you now. Just make sure you wipe everything before you flash, always make a backup beforehand and only flash ROM's that are proven on your device and your bootloader and you will be money. Also, read read read the threads before flashing.

it's called SDM in the system portion... and I would get lucky patcher and black mart alpha installed to. these give you access to everything and all the paid apps too.

No, we're all sitting here waiting for Lollipop. There's really not a huge necessity for root other than adblocking. I've rooted and custom rom'd other smartphones before right out of the box, but after jumping on this phone, there's no need. Performance is smooth, optimized battery life excellence, and already included neat features like Double Tap to Wake without needing to root it.
Why do you desire root so badly?

It would seem like a better equivalent to suit your needs with Sony quality is the international build, the regular Z3.
Or you could be the extraordinary to find a way to root/unlock the Z3v and claim that nice bounty reward. I'm soon to up my donation amount.

It's a hit or miss with it sometimes. I'd say it works for me 80-85% of the time, but if you double tap in the center of the screen it will increase your chances.

I created a thread in this Z3v forum where I listed the amount of apps that are safe to disable. You just go to application manager, all apps, then choose the app you wish to disable.
Don't forget to hit thanks
Root would be nice only because it plays to the geek inside me. Otherwise the Z3v pretty much does everything I need it to do at a level of efficiency that is already well beyond my basic needs for a device.

I lost interest in root after the original droid, droid x and droid x2. With the galaxy s3 and now the z3v I am not trying to save space or fix problems with the OS. Rooting was a major pita IMHO and the Verizon apps I just don't use. I'm not sure why people still need root anymore. Remind me?

I agree. It is a pain to constantly change ROMs, change kernels, etc but I have still rooted every device. Keep it stock, move apps to a separate folder so there is no chance that they run, changing the font all through the system (not sure why that isn't a standard feature by now), & the big one I miss, blocking ads.

Lollipop is... disappointing.
The update seems to be a huge piece of garbage in a Material Design wrapper. The battery preformance is worse, the auto-brightness doesn't work as it should, I've been nothing but annoyed by it and I want 4.4.4 back..
I have not had success rooting the Z3 (D6603 on 23.1.A.0.690). Any of you know a good way to root and then downgrade to stock 4.4.4? Or is CM12 stable enough to replace 5.0.2? Any help would be appreciated!
Like I said when I got it on my S5 it was it was a huge disappointment. I'm not up grading this phone for a while

my 2 years upgrade is almost here, and the z3v is the phone I'm leaning towards (others under consideration are the S4, S5 and LG G3). My concern is that VZW will push out an OTA upgrade that can't be stopped, without having root....am I wrong about that? My last experience was with the S3 (which I still have&use).

Well never mind it will happen eventually. I'm surprised they've made such progress already. Can't wait for a 64bit 5.0 tw xposed . (well maybe by then we'll need a 5.1.1 xposed )
Still early day for the s6. But I've just see a post in T-Mobile forum about an almost booting aosp build (off topic I know, but still exciting)
I'm not not sure if the anticipation of updates are just as good as receiving updates lol

Exact same config, but I haven't rooted yet. I'd like to see wanam compatible soon.
What motivated you to root so fast. As in, why did you need it for. I'd been holding out to see if a better root method was developed to avoid tripping Knox and messing up Samsung pay.
So far all I've missed is not being able to backup my old app data with titanium.

I went to WETA for customization and the aroma installer had a bunch of stuff I could choose from, rooting in general it's just something I've been doing since my first Android phone, I'm amazed at what I can do with basically complete control, as I say to my friends that don't know what root is, if I want to do something I more than likely can, music didn't sound good enough to me so I installed viper4android music sounds amazing and I couldn't go back to stock, I wanted my battery to last longer so I installed greenify to force doze when I turn my screen off so I can get iPhone levels of standby drain, also it's just something fun to do there's always new stuff going on, Xposed just got released officially a few days ago and I honestly can't wait to see what comes of it.

I noticed that without all of the GSM bands.. my connection was HORRIBLE.. plus I did not have the WIFI calling / SMS features... so I switched to the H918 variant... SO Glad I did.. love the knowledge I could unlock my bootloader.. and it seems to have some of the default features that Verizon had locked out... IE FM Radio.. etc..
right now i'm on the 10q software.. so not sure if i'm locked out of anything or if thats still able to root / unlock and flash safely.

As far as I know 10p still hasn't been rooted, I would hold off updating for a bit if you do want to root, I don't know when a 10q root will be available
There was a brief thread for the ROM in the ROMs section that was promptly closed. I don't know if it will come back anytime soon, because I'm not sure if the dev even understands why his thread was closed, and I haven't made any effort to discuss it with him. It was enough to get me curious, though, so I Googled it, and it's fantastic. I highly recommend checking this ROM out, even though you will have to go through Twitter or telegram to get support. I haven't found any major bugs, and the fingerprint reader works better than all of the other non-stock ROMs for me. The only thing I ran into is that it comes with AOSP dialer and I wanted to use Google's Phone app, but it won't install. I had the same issue with MiUI. I was able to use the patched APK from XDA, though, so I think I'm good.
cause it has apps that wants payments as bloatware

I haven't seen anything other than stock Google and AOSP apps, but maybe you noticed something I didn't?

Huh, that's interesting. The only problem I've had with it is my email app (Spark) kept crashing, but I guess it was the app, because they updated it yesterday, and now it isn't crashing.
How is the FP on derpfest?

Tho i found where the issue was, i was using LKT a magisk module to improve the battery i guess it's not compatible with it's kernel.
Found i bug u can't share a picture from the gallery or an mp3 file from mixplorer or any file manager to the messenger app it's the only rom with this bug
For the fp it was better in january build now it's getting worse after every update and it work 1/10 outside in the sun so kinda not the best

Tottally agree! It used to be a copy of miuipro. And now is a king of miui eu with YouTube Vanved and micro g embebbed.
Don't thing that is the kind of dev we should support.
Lol I'm not suggesting anyone give him any money. I just liked the ROM and it worked great when most of the ROMs have some sort of issues that irritated me. Now I'm running ColtOS.

I´m not mentioning you, mate! Sorry! I'm talking about users in general, because this dev never really created a rom. Always cloned others.

No problem. I don't know anything about the guy or his past releases. I'm a flashaholic. Since my last post I've moved on to Titanium OS. It's great to have a phone with so many developers!
After trying this for a while this is my review:
Rom is very smooth but Android Auto doesn't seem to work. Fingerprint it's nice for me (I think the FOD is the problem of this phone no matter what ROM do you use), but it doesn't have facial unlock so it's a bit annoying when fingerprint doesn't want to work. Apart from that it doesn't have long press to kill apps.
Anyway it's a good ROM for daily driver if you don't need those features and has a lot of customization options!

What is this, and why are you posting it here?
I've used this ROM for a while but switched to MSM Extended. I had some issues with RevOS after the OTA update and missed some configurability.
