Is there anyway to do this? I'm rooted by the way and am stock
I flashed a google edition rom for a bit and installed "notification toggle" and it prompted me that since I was rooted I could use some sort of app move modifier program to make it stay on the notification panel permanently, basically this is what I want to do with the stock samsung 4.2.2 and have it replace the samsung notification panel, but the app doesn't give me the prompt that says I can use root access

I'm confused, how are you stock if you've flashed the Google edition ROM? And try and post some screenshots!

Go to setting, developers options and check to see if you have access to su from there.

I don't see anything super user related
And what I did I could on GE Rom, namely have "notification toggle" moved to notification/part of the system (I used /system/app mover) to be a system app. When I opened the app, it told me I could do this since I was rooted (there was no samsung notification panel to over write), but when I open it on the stock firmware, it says nothing of it and I am rooted.
Basically I'd just like to get rid of the samsung notification panel since it doesnt have everything I want and would rather use Notification toggle
You do realize you can edit the toggles on the notification panel right? I used the notification toggles app on my Evo LTE and it is crap compared to the stock notification panel. If you want to mix things up a little, try installing the xposed framework and installing Nottach or Wanam modules and you can change colors, transparency, and number of toggles displayed.

I love my device (802) but one thing is really bugging me about it in it's present state.......I hate the fact that the navigation buttons take up a large portion of my beautiful screen in most applications
Firstly, I like to keep my phone unrooted so that I can enjoy skygo, meaning custom roms and mods which require root are out of the question for me and, secondly, I have tried the hide navbar mod which is included in the stock Korean rom and I think it is an excellent solution and one which LG has successfully developed and implemented for those lucky few.
There is an app in the playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.ppareit.immersivemode which attempts to achieve immersive mode across many kitkat devices enabling the user to enable immersive mode for any selected app just like the implementation on the Korean rom without the necessity for root. This app achieves what I require but, unfortunately, is very buggy.
I would like to appeal to the devs and those many others here with more nouse than me to look at the above playstore apk and also the official LG implementation and see if it may be possible to implement this efficiently on a non-rooted device.
Whilst I am rambling on, could somebody tell me what would happen if I rooted my stock rom, made a small system adjustment then unrooted my device again? Would my system mod still work and would skygo detect my device as not rooted? The reason that I ask this is I wondered if it was impossible to somehow implement the Korean 'hide nav bars' mod on a rooted stock rom, unroot the device and still have this modification working?
Any thoughts on this (and investigation perhaps ) would be very much appreciated.

Why don't you try something like this ??
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak
I use it on some other apps and it works for me, and it looks like your app might be also supported. Check in the XDA thread if it is.
If it works for you, use then G2 Tweaksbox for the NavBar customization.

Thanks but skygo doesn't work with this . The checking procedure that it employs seems to be very thorough and, to my knowledge, nobody has ever cracked this properly to work on a rooted or un-supported device. The same being the case when trying to enable hdmi out with it.
I was hoping that there would be some way of implementing hiding of nav bars on a non-rooted device as the play store app that I mentioned in my previous post proves that this can be implemented to quite a large degree, so I thought, if somebody was to work on this device specifically, they may be able to make it bug free.
You could remove the navbar altogether but then you would have to rely 100% on things such as LMT.
For info, I am now very happy. I have installed Cloudystock Rom then unrooted it with superSU pro. To my great surprise, the Rom still works flawlessly and my sky apps do too.
I wasn't aware this was possible. I am now going to work on stock Rom zip with the hide navigation button feature added.

Wait wait wait...Sky Go works when you just unroot... Even on a custom ROM? I'm on cloudyflex I need to try this. ROM has a hide keys option per app anyway
Do you still have custom recovery??
OK unrooted play store says SkyGo is not compatible with my device. Got a feeling that's related to something in my build.prop can you upload yours please mate from your ROM so I can make some changes to mine to get it working? Thanks.

I've just un-rooted cloudystock with supersSU pro and kept custom recovery and everything else the same and, yes, the sky apps worked fine as did the rom . For me, this is just what I wanted and I was very surprised that it works, including hide nav keys.
Now I want to try to create a completely stock 80220d but with the navbar mod included then unroot it. I have pm'd cloudya about which files from the cloudy stock rom that I require but haven't had a reply yet.
....didn't you create a flashable 80220d zip somewhere? I can't seem to find it. I am not very experienced at this and I guess by your response that you are interested in the same thing and perhaps you will be better at this than me?
EDIT I changed ro.build.target_country from COM to EU for another reason. Perhaps this might help?
I changed fingerprint and a few other bits back to d802 in build.prop, removed root. Now running cloudyflex. Can hide keys per app in options. And can watch sky go. Perfect.

Stock Verizon S5...
Firstly, hate how "system" takes up 5gb of space...Touchwiz is crap IMO. I'm using Nova to give myself the most stock Android feel possible on here. The one thing I wish I could do is get stock Android touch sounds instead of that Touchwiz crap sound. Is there any way to do this?
So hoping Android L kills Touchwiz...from what I read it's supposed to make all the UI mods go away...can be good and bad if so...good to remove horrible themes like previously mentioned that are bloated galore.
The sounds are located in system/media/audio/ui. Just find the sound you want, it needs to be an ogg file. Rename it to the correct sound and copy/paste, reboot.
---------- Post added at 06:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 AM ----------
TW_Touch, S_HW_Touch, and TW_SIP.
Do I need root for this? If so, last I checked you can't root the Verizon S5
That's the only way I know. I have no idea about Verizon.
Metal, I really do appreciate the help..you were spot on...but unfortunately it seems since I updated to the latest software I'm not able to use the root they recently found (my luck). I find the whole tripping of a warranty flag to root/rom my phone rather disturbing, and at last check there was no fix available, period. Now you can do it if you are on the older firmware, apparently. I'll have to wait. The 5gb+ of bloatware needs to go, and I for one, hate Touchwiz but love this phone.
There is a way to root a VSW G S5, as I am typing from one right now. Here's the link i used to root it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver.../safely-upgrade-root-4-4-4-nha-volte-t2879348
Now to change touch sounds, after you root your phone, download a root file explorer (I use Root Browser) and go to /system/media/audio/ui and look for the .ogg file you need. Hope this helped!
lmao really? where have you searched? The vzw s5 has root on latest 444 (NI2) with safestrap recovery and it doesnt trip knox at all...
There isnt 5gb+ either.. stock rom is ~1.4gb...
Theres also eclipse rom if u want aosp style or extreme syndicate if you want a rom ~400mb in size.. my rom isnt for you unless you know how to make the rom how you like it
Considering if I want to root moto x pure or not.
With what is being called a "Pure android experience" meaning no bloatware, I am not sure why I should root.
Gravitybox
Greenify
Boot manager
Adaway
Xstana
Titanium backup
Those are the apps I use atm

One word, ads! If you're used to being rooted and blocking them, they'll drive you nuts! They're everywhere ... obnoxious, obtrusive and just plain annoying!! So AdAway is a must IMO!(I understand folks gotta make a living, but man do I wish there was another way! LOL)
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
Adfree (my choice over adaway), titanium backup, better battery stats, HiFont (change your system font), hosts editor (easily add and delete entries9 in your hosts file, that adaway creates ), Tasker, Xposed framework and all the great modules it offers for customizing your device to your own preference, and root Explorer are some of my favorites.

If you're just wanting things to be as near to a Nexus as possible and that's all. Then you have no need to root. The only thing I have found the MXPE missing that is on Nexus devices is the Google Dialer. And Truedialer does all that the Google Dialer does and more.
Apps like the Camera on Nexus devices, can be installed from the Play Store.
I used to root, primarily for additional features that don't come with any device. Such as Titanium Backup. But Android Marshmallow will have app data backup. So no need to Titanium Backup going forward. I also used to root for Advanced Power Menu features. To be able to Reboot in a single click, instead of having to power off and on manually.
So far, I have no need to root the MXPE. Google finally has the OS in Marshmallow, to a point I can enjoy without added features from rooting.
You may want to look around the MXPE Apps and Dev forums. See the various offerings available with unlocking and rooting. You may want to give it a go. Me, I did unlocking and rooting, since converting and HTC HD2, from Windows Mobile to Android and all devices afterwards. I had my full of it and no longer desire to spend time and effort keeping up with or doing unlock and root activities. So I enjoy stock and with more frequent OTA updates in these times, I will let the OEM handle sending fixes and updates.

I've never owned a nexus, but I did, (with a great deal of help from you guys here) gut and rip an LG esteem, and then a Samsung galaxy s3, using CWM and recovery, a kernel with some ungodly name like "Lucifer kernel" (sounds like hot sauce on popcorn)
The functions I am looking for are as follows
- No bloatware
- Classic text messaging and classic phone dialer themes
- Custom Boot Animation
- Ability to delete all apps I don't use, (on previous phones, some apps I blasted were google, and there were lists of what I could un-install with no problems for each device)
- KIES support
Basically faster, lighter, smarter, better, cooler, and makes the world bend to my will.
Looks like I might have to roll up my sleeves again and earn how to root yet another device!
That is unless someone comes up with another genius "one click root-kernel-rom" install, but at this point I am fairly comfortable with ODIN panels, and self installing .zip, or .rar files.
Question: Has there ever been an android phone, that ships already rooted?
thanks! once again I know I am in the right place.
:good:
The procedure is really very simple and you don't have to worry about if someone put anything dubious in said one click root app.

cool! You will see me back here asking some questions, when I unbox the little bugger.
Thanks again!

- No worries about bloatware. And if you feel anything is bloat, just disable the app. No root nessesary.
- Seems you would be able to find something in the Google Play Store, that does this for you. I think you'd be hard pressed, to find a Dev that will make something custom like that in a MXPE ROM. The Devs will probably be trying to use newer and better, rather than retro.
- You will need to unlock the bootloader, to apply a custom boot animation. That's not a "root" thing AFAIK, but you do need to unlock the bootloader. And then you will be able to apply a custom boot animation. I'm sure any maker of a boot animation will provide instructions.
- Just disable, no root needed. If you feel you absolutely must "uninstall", then you will need to get a custom ROM that has things you don't like already removed. But disable works very well.
- I don't know how you will find KIES Support. That's a Samsung thing. I dobut you'll find a way to get it working on the MXPE.

Out of everything on your list, you could *potentially* find some workaround or alternative that doesn't require root (or an unlocked bootloader), with the exception of a Custom Boot Animation. If you want that, then you must have an unlocked bootloader to do it. And if you're going to unlock your bootloader, you might as well just take it one minor step further and root your phone as well.
As for HOW to unlock / root... there *IS* a tookit to do it. Just look in the Android Development section of this forum, and you'll find it. Couldn't be easier.
You won't need to deal with all of that garbage of ODIN panels, flashing upgrades / downgrades / radios and applying patches in a very specific order, etc. The reason all of those complex steps exist for other phones is because those phones have locked bootloaders; and clever XDA developers had to find some obscure security exploit in order to gain root access. The Moto X Pure ships with an easily unlocked bootloader, which eliminates all of those complex steps to gain root access. It's about as close to the Nexus experience as you can get on a non-Nexus device. You essentially flip a switch, and get an unlocked bootloader. And once you have an unlocked bootloader, you can pretty much do anything you want with your phone without having to jump through hoops to do it.
My list goes:
Xposed framework
Gravitybox
Flat colored bars
Adaway
Softkeyz
Custom boot animation manager
Obviously I root for enhanced customization and ad removal.
I might consider rooting again, if some genius in XDA, comes up with a, "One-click RootROMRecovery, DeathKernel3000© w/ a "Wayyy cooler than you" option. lol.
Thanks

so I downloaded WinDroid Universal Android Toolkit v2.5.exe, and am now looking at TWRP, and considering which applications to install after routing. My phone is supposed to arrive tomorrow I want to get ready! Thanks for the help you guys
Hey Every one, i just wanna know that is there any way to Change screen resolution on my Note 4 n910c rooted or non rooted . Please if there is any do tell me about it.
Thanks
maybe changing it in the buildprop can help you
but take back-up before
There's Easy DPI Changer (Root) but note that in the stock Camera app the buttons are nowhere near the activation point on the screen.
I seem to recall there was/is a DPI changer that just needed tweaking with ADB to get it working on non-root but I can't track it down at the moment.
EDIT: It's not an app for non-root just simple ADB commands
