[Q] Upgrade Omegarom i.e 5.1 to 7 without loosing data... - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, im very new at this, and I was wondering if there was any way that I can install the new releases of Omega Rom without loosing my data like, i install only rom, and rest of the apps and setting stay the same? Is that possible? Because everytime I flash a new version I loose my dpi setting at Texdroider DPI and in Xposed Framwork - App Settings and the whole app Xposed get removed aswell..

I don't think you can.

Ohh.. It's kinda annoying to have to reinstall Xposed and change dpi on 8 apps every single time I update my ROM :-\

Bump need more input to be sure if I'm just not an idiot.

Question about rooting for first time (4.4)

I've never rooted a phone before and I'm a little nervous about doing so. I don't fully understand the difference between all the various ROM's. For instance are there advantages and disadvantages between the different ROMs that are floating around? Also what happens when 4.4 comes out? I'm assuming I'd be blocked from Updating. Would I have to wait until someone releases a 4.4 ROM? The main reason I want to Root is to remove all the useless apps Samsung/Tmobile stuck on my phone, but when I check out the processes, I don't even see that they are running. Would it even be worth it to root if this is the only reason I am doing it for?
I also see people talking about removing TouchWiz once they are rooted. I already am using Nova, but if I remove TouchWiz, will I just have the basic Android UI like I had on my Nexus? Or will I have to stick with a 3rd party launcher? Does removing TouchWiz result in a noticeable speed difference?
Hey rooting isn't for everyone. You could root and get rid of certain apps and bloatware. What I did before rooting was just disable and hide those apps.
It was fine but then as root user for a long time, I rooted and now use it more to tweak the look and feel.
The best way to know a rom is to try it.
I have used alot on this forum but currently feel comfortable with Omega Rom v6 with Wanam Xposed.
The possibilities are endless and as long as you understand the Knox flag then you should be free to try and do what you will.
Last if you ever want to just go back to stock and leave it there with updates it's pretty easy.
Sam mobile has always the latest updates available to download and you install those with Odin.
Good luck

Thanks for the response! May I ask how you disabled and hid the apps without rooting?
Nevermind actually, I figured out how to turn them off from the App info screen. But is there a way to hide them so they don't show up at all?
Edit: lol nevermind again. They disappear when you turn them off. Thank you so much for letting me know about this! I had no idea this was possible

That's using the main launcher and also you can under application manager in settings

Since I really don't care about my warranty, I just went and flashed TWRP via Odin.

Strange apps appeared

Hi everybody, I noticed just now that these four applications have appeared, I never install by myself, they can not be uninstalled (they seem to be system apps), the device isn't rooted I do not understand how they can be installed.
I think they are comes from the last OTA update that I made tomorrow morning (ND3)
Nobody knows what they are?
Thanks in advice and sorry for my bad English.

Go to setting > app manager > and all and search them and then turn off
Or You can use of romtoolbox app to freeze
them
But it needs root

As freegalaxy stated, best bet if your not rooted is to disable the apps on the apps manager, i usually get 2 or 3 bloatware apps on the RU firmaware and since im not rooted i pretty much just disable those apps and i dont need to worry anymore.
Did you change the CSC?
when you change the CSC some new apps may appear.

Apps to stop

Hello
Got my S5 yesterday and I am not rooted (yet) and Ive been wondering if is it safe to "disable" samsung apps and other applications that I will never use without disabling OTA UPDATES
like in the attachment.
If someone can provide a list which contains wich ones are safe to disable without removing OTA updates option that would be great.
Thanks
Just disable it and it will ask u install latest version after pressing OK results disabled. Its better way to, just like removing bloatware. I always do like that.

[Q] Note 4 Tether/Mobile Hotspot

Hello everyone, this is gonna super noob of me to post but I'm going to do it because I'm a bit confused.
I'm ok with the stock rom, I'm sure down the road some day I will install a custom rom or cyanogen mod. But for now I understand that rooting the Note 4 will trigger a change in state to show that the device had been rooted before. I've rooted and installed custom roms on countless phones before, but the reason I make this post was because I achieved tethering/mobile hotspot by installing cyanogenmod, which came prebundled with those features enabled. I don't really want to install a custom rom, but I do want to somehow have the ability to tether/mobile hotspot without installing a custom rom. What would be the way to do that? Do I have to install an apk after rooting and if so, what would that apk be?
TL;DR - Noob here trying find the best way to use mobile hotspot/tether without paying carriers.
Thanks for your time and sorry for such a noobish question.
Sorry
I don't understand if you needs mobile hotshot or else.
Mobile hotshot is built-in and no root or extra app requires. There is Toggle mobile hotshot in quick panel or enable from setting - tethering and mobile hotspot

i dont have issue regarding this. after root i restored all my apps using TB. no force close so far. accept game hacker and all xposed apps.
I have same problem!
Any fix!
Seem no one care this topic . I have the same problem
There was an issue of fc last time on kitkat. There is an app called tb restore fixer in playstore to resolve that issue. Maybe you're using an older version of tb?
Sent from my SM-N9005
Could be, or maybe the restoration procedure is wrong. After a fresh ROM installation you can't/ shouldn't use the TB's Restore everything feature, you will have to use the restore missing apks only feature.
Just a Q , you upgraded your device from Kitkat to LP ? If so , that seems to be the issue.
Hi Y'all.
I just did the exact same thing. Restoring a KK backup on LP that is.
I've had maybe a handful of apps force close on me.
Removing and reinstalling fixes the issue.
I know - it isn't exactly what was intended, but a handful out of maybe 250 apps is still a huge time saver.
Regards
Elo.
