take note that, the "private mode" will not function once rooted.

screen mirroring, s-health when xposed is installed. Those are the few that i've read. Probably there's some more.

That's not entirely true, they all still work for me with xposed installed. Can't comment on privicy mode though.
How can you go 9 days without root!? It would drive me insane lol! I was dotted within 5 hours of receiving the phone!

As long as screen mirroring is not working on rooted phones, it's no way for me to root it. I also unrooted my 10.1 2014 to have screen mirroring activated

Screen mirroring DEFINITELY works after root - I just tested it and no problems at all :good:
Also some apps that detect root, such as skygo, virgin anywhere which wont work on rooted devices
I don't care about the knox, but need the apps to work so no root for me.
My phones rooted with omega ROM installed.
Absolutely everything on my phone works.. Screen mirroring, s health, private mode, xposed etc are all fine

You can have adblock without root, yay

And you can disable more Samsung unused features and free up RAM with Startupmanager free.
I found firewall that didn't need root too.
But still no solution to slow Samsung updates and change of look of phone interface without root.

You can`t, requires changing default system setting and thus root. Rooting is a piece of cake and offers much more advantages than only color/gamma settings bro.
I would love to root but allot of us use out phones for banking like Barclay mobile banking if you root the app wont work so this is why we need to find another solution.
Custom kernel?

It's possible to disable root temporarily you know for apps that don't work with root.

I know you do not want to root but I know some of these 4.3 roms actually are not rooted at first and you have to flash SuperSu. Now you can flash a rom you like set it up how you want it and then remove SuperSu which the app has the feature built in and you will have a stock rom with the colors you like and your Barclay app will work.
Edit: I use Google Wallet and SuperSu, when I turn off root with SuperSu I do not get the unsupported device error
Many people I know would love this! My company does not allow rooted devices to access the corporate network.

Really? That easy? I was assuming that if I did that, any color profile changes would revert! This is very good news - I'll just have to make sure there is an easy way to root and unroot. If I am stuck rooted, I am going to be in a tight spot for work!

There are some things that will allow you to temp unroot while you use apps like that but for a complete work around there is no option. Rooting is seen as a security flaw and that is why banking apps have made it so they dont work if root is detected.

Not all apps allow it. My banking app for the federal credit union doesn't allow rooted devices.

Like others said it depends on the bank.
Since the op is in the UK, im guessing it's barclays i'm pretty sure they are the only uk bank who blocks root users. @Mubz_C you should go to Halifax, it's better

Ha... Even Halifax have said their next update will be an app that won't work on rooted devices, hopefully one of these root cloak apps will suffice as a workaround.

You had to expect it. I mean root is a security issue on devices. Last thing you need is a root app that has a built in Key logger.

There is no way to hide Xposed, u'll have yo disable it. Magisk works well if u don't have Xposed.

There should be a list somewhere of all this pre-loaded bull**** so you can remove it without missing any.
Without root you can't install WA+.
Disabling WA ist maybe possible, but anyhow, you can't install WA+!
It's so unbelievable from Samsung.
I've written Samsung and complained about this. Also on Facebook. Public is always more effective. Maybe if more complaints come, possibly something happens
Facebook App ist also a System App and can't removed, or no old version can't be used.

Not sure what would actually be effective. People have complained about pre-installed apps on Android for, what, five years now? It's never done any good, and the hundreds of millions of additional Android users since back then clearly haven't made the complaints any more effective, either. The option of rooting is there, for people who want to completely have them removed from storage. Otherwise, disabling the apps gets rid of the icons and takes care of any performance hit. The actual size they take up is less than one half of 1% of device storage, so they're really not a big deal. It's just the psychological effect of knowing they're there. I've just learned to ignore it.
After coming from the Nexus 5 with its lack of expandable storage, I learned pretty quick that a couple megs for a stock app make a poor target for blame when I'm angry because I've got nowhere to put a 500+mb game I bought.
-Edit: On the other hand, when a preinstalled app makes it impossible to install another version of the same app from the store, it might go further to train yourself to treat that sort of thing like a bug. Report it to their technical support and act incredulous that they'd let such broken behavior into a production release. ;P
Hi All,
Im a noob.But my dilemma is since I opted to install the ota update that popped up when I got my Note 4. I am now unable to uninstall Instagram. All i can do is disable it. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
Yes.
Instagramm is pre-installed (system app) and can't removed without root.
Just disabling works

Disabling it is really almost just as good as uninstalling it. My problem is with Evernote, I can't even disable that one. I really hate that program, and if anything will make me root it would be to get rid of evercrap.
Thank you guys for the help. The Note 4 is taking me some time to adjust to. I'm coming from the Note 3, I thought the transition would be a lot smoother. I like to use themes for my facebook, twitter and instagram- making it a bit more feminine but I don't know if it's possible since instagram is now a stock application. Sheesh!!

The app being installed on system shouldn't affect themes or anything? The app can still be modified and updated, just not uninstalled.
How disabling the app helps?
If you disable notifications and syncing in the app, why disable the app?

Thanks both - the Barclays app doesn't like (won't run on) rooted phones, or CyanogenMod (I believe), which is a real pain.
Just did a live chat with OnePlus, 'Danielito' assures me that it will run!
If it can't, install xposed then install RootCloak, configure it to work for Barclay's app then reboot. Worked for me for my bank app which doesn't work on rooted device before

Thanks for your interest. I have never found a way of getting the Barclays app to work on a rooted phone, and as far as I'm aware neither has anyone else. I actually have a rooted phone right now - Jiayu S3 - and whatever I've tried, the app still won't run (it says it can't run on rooted devices).
And to be honest, I just want to be able to install the app without having to do anything else!

I've tested myself and yeah, rootcloak no longer works. U may have just to settle on www.barclays.mobi if you wanna use on rooted devices.
The developers of rootcloak stated that Barclays app was updated to utilize the method of detecting through native library which is very difficult to bypass/hide away.

I have updated my post above with the explanation. Basically at the current moment the app wont run on any rooted device unless someone found a new way to bypass it. This is not a device specific issue. It applies to all rooted devices by how the root binary logic works.
And if you're not gonna root, yeah it will work
Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk
Just to clarify, the OP2 doesn't come rooted so you should be fine with the app.
Very wrong. The Barclay's App wouldn't run on dual SIM phones. They're such clowns.
I left Barclay's over this final straw and went to Lloyds.
But you still have to manage without root.
Exactly! Barclay banking app developers are f**king clowns!!! bought my self a zenfone 2 today (which is also dual sim) and the app wont even open. it just crashes. Spoke to barclays customer services and tech people and guess what they said?.... Said their app does not support Intel processors..... I MEAN WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K!!! what do they want me to do? sell my £200 phone and by another crappy spec one just to run there app? Absolutly ridiculous, iam fumin!
I ran Barclays app on my stock OnePlus 2 for over 2 years without any issue.
