"Android Lost" seems to be popular, though I've never personally used it. Android Device Manager (ADM) is free and simple. It doesn't provide a bunch of extra features, but they are slowly adding to the list of what it can do. If you are looking for simple and free, give it a try.

"BEST" is a relative term for what best fits YOUR needs

This app requires root to function.

Root your phone and run greenify. It is worth it if you want good battery life. That is one of the best apps out today.

I dont really want to root. I think the phone itself is pretty snappy and unlike 99% of the people on this forum I do actually like TW and a lot of the gimmicky features. I find some to actually be useful. I'll probably root after I get bored. The only thing I missed from having a rooted phone was tethering for free but foxfii is the perfect answer for that. Thats why I was asking for specifically unrooted phones. But thanks for your responses.

I've had this phone for about two weeks and I'm still on stock but rooted, no custom recovery, yet. I like TW as well, that's why I got this phone. I rooted to get rid of some bloat and for greenify. In the long run you would be happier.

rooting by itself won't remove touchwiz. it merely gives you more control over your phone and allows you to improve it as you wish.

What mods pal?
Related to what?
If I understood your point a bit you can add The LTE zip mod for N4.
In original development? This will get moved.
Also, "best of the best" is opinion, at best.
what is this doing in original development? move it!
anyways, who decides what best is? its an opinion, best is according to what the individual user decides is best for them, and them only.

Top root apps for S4??

Been a while since I've gotten into the root game. I'm back into an S4! So what do you guys think are the best apps I should download?? And what do they do?
Thanks in advance!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
Each app is different as are people's tastes in apps. You will have to decide what you need/want. Best app/ROM threads are not really allowed on XDA. You are required to research and find what you should use.

Like what was mentioned, be careful not to ask questions with "best mods/tools/apps/elephants/bananas for the <insert phone model here>". Mods won't like it.
However, these two forums should be able to help you:
1. General
2. App Dev
... and Google of course. Good luck.
Oh okay. Thanks alot guys for the positive feedback. I'll take a look.

If you have to ask this question why did you root in the first place? I ask that in all seriousness. You're risking bricking your device by rooting if you mess something up, why would you take that risk if you're not sure what root does.
pguillory -
The question you should ask is "Do I need root and what would I use it for?"
My easy first answer:
Titanium Backup.
ES File Explorer
(BTW, there really is very little risk bricking it if you use the easy method. Search forum for the thread.)

Please post your question in another non-S5 forum, as this question is not related to a Galaxy S5 or just Google it. Good luck

Oke do what you have to do, i just reported this thread. It is not related to the S5 as you have a cloned/fake device that only looks like a S5 a bit. Might as well have posted this question on the M8 or G3 forum.
Please no PM`s, post everything you have to say here. I did help you, use Google to find more info about your question or contact the vendor (if they even reply that is) or manufacturer.

No, he's right. We should not support fake devices here as that would give an incentive to buy more of them and to make them.
If, in the end, you wasted your money learn from it and don't buy fakes.

Its not personal towards you, anyway hope you can find a battery for your phone but probably it will be very hard to find an original one.

I didn't notice until it was to late and have now encountered a minor situation I know one of the genius' here can shed situation on.

Which is the best custom rom for Samsung galaxy s5 SM-G900H

Sent from my SM-G900H using XDA Free mobile app
And you think asking this question in the paranoid android forum is going to give you a good selection?

You are asking this question in a forum dedicated to a specific custom ROM. What kind of response do you honestly think you will get??? You would be better off checking in your device specific forum to see what roms are recommended for your device. This forum section covers the paranoid android rom which is supported on many different devices. There are fewer users of your device in this particular forum, versus a device specific one.
It's just logic.
Thanks for your logic. ........will keep in mind...Thanks!!!!!
