Now that we have root. What are you doing with it?
So far I've just done a full tibu backup. Debloated a few apps. Greenified almost all Google apps. And tasker to turn on and off gps when I open maps.
I'm scared to get to crazy with out a recovery.

I'd like it to add call recording to my att s6, install adblock (already done), disable the headphone volume warnings, and maybe install Wanam Xposed at somepoint?
AdAway, disable volume warning, titanium backup
Can make some simple csc changes e.g sort app draw a-z.

Running omniswitch for recent apps, LMT with pointer for easy one hand operation. Full monitoring of wakelocks etc with BBS to hopefully better optimize battery. Will probably approach that with greenify, but haven't done that yet. Probably run an ad blocker.

What did you use to disable volume warning? I only know xposed modules that do that
@zathus
I've been trying to do that with mine but it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong/what should I be doing?

What I'm looking to is to toggle Location on and off, not just change location from battery saving to high accuracy. Can this be done?
I also want to know how to disable the loud volume warning as xposed isn't compatible..

I tried making a profile myself but I found that it was easier to use the "GPS Toggle" feature rather than the location mode. GPS toggle will switch between high accuracy and power saving modes. It only requires one task as well.

Same problem here. Every app I disabled disappeared from launcher except for Amazon MP3, and it's driving me nuts
You could "freeze" the app with titanium backup, which removes the shortcut icon and makes sure the app cant start. Big advantage is that you can still install OTA's. It comes with a price tho..

Freeze is the same thing as pm disable. And it doesn't work with Amazon MP3. It stays in the launcher and crashes when trying to launch it.

AAAHH Im in the same boat too, there must be a way..
If you have permanent root, and Titanium Bakcup, you should be able to permanently removed the app. Just go the backup/restore tab at the top, go the app you want to remove (Amazon mp3) and hold it for a while...there should be an option for forced removed the app. The phone will then reboot itself, and once rebooted you will find it is completely gone. The only down side is you cant update OTA anymore. But really who cares? very soon we will see custom ROMs popping up everywhere. I am pretty sure they will contain the latest updates.
I haven't tried it myself yet, but I found this on another forum:
com.amazon.mp3/com.amazon.mp3.client.activity.LauncherActivity
Hope this works

How could i keep GPS turn ON even if the user disable it manually?
Any trick or ideas? Could be for any device, rooted , busybox, etc.
I just need an idea of how i could keep the gps always on. It is for tracking purpose of employees. Sometimes they turn location off manually, and i could not monitor their location.
Any apk or application ready for this? Please PM me or post below. Any trick is ok, xpose modifications, rooted modifications, etc, but it must work, thats the idea.
Devices: Usually new ones 4.x OS
Waiting your feedback experts!

You could create a service with a BroadcastReceiver which listens for any change in the GPS setting and then re-enables the GPS. That could work without root though I'm not sure if such a Broadcast exists.
The other option would be to use xposed and hook the method which sets the GPS in the settings.

Is there any developper here that could do this apk for me? or the xposed module to do this? (obviously paid development).

Excellent, you could contact me by PM to arrange the development and the payment.
Remember that the idea is to have gps always on. Even if the user manually unclick it on the menu bar, it is reactivated again internally.

I like the phone, but the 16gb causes a lot of concern. After downloading my music from Amazon, it's almost gone.
I can't find an option to put music from Amazon on my sd card, is that hte new kit kat "feature"?
Also, the test message preview on my lock screen only says "New Message", ther eused to be an option that gave me a preview of the actual message..is it gone?
On the Note 3, it had a setting where screenshots would enter auto edit mode, came in real handy for me. S5 doesn't seem to have this?
When I disabled my magazine, my home screen transitions isn't continuous ..I know I seen the s5 do this in review videos.
Did you root your phone yet with Towelroot? If so go to play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix and install this to get read/write to your sd card. The other stuff I can't help you with. Sorry.

Not yet. I will this weekend tho. Thanks bud
Before you root you may want to look into fix for SHealth and ISIS Wallet (if you use it). You have to stop SHealth and Health Services in app manager and clear data and cache before you installed Xposed. You may even have to uninstall their updates if I remember as well.
Install xposed and it's service , then update Shealth and it should work fine. Once you get that done install ISIS Root Bypass 3.0 module for xposed and check it in modules and reboot and the Wallet will work fine after that.
These were two things that I use often and really had to get working to be happy with root.

Why put off until tomorrow, what you could do today, and prevent yourself from being screwed by VZW when they push 4.4.3 soon, and Root may not work with it?
In the text messaging app you'll see a setting to display the message on the lockscreen instead of new message.
Plug your phone into the computer and drag and drop the music to the SD or use root explorer to move it there.. You don't need root to do this.
No, the S5 cannot auto enter edit mode as far as I know, maybe clear defaults of gallery and set images to auto open in an editor?
As far as continuous transitions just use apex or Nova.

You'll have to edit a file using Root Explorer then if you disable My Magazine you'll have endless home screen scrolling. I use Nova launcher which already has the option in settings. If you definitely have to have the stock launcher and you can't get infinite scrolling to work let me know I'll tell you which file to edit.

Same here, I heard it's a Samsung lollipop bug
OK Google working
I posted this in another thread, but here (This is for the Sprint Note 4 on LP)
So, I got mine to work in the most odd way possible
When I updated to LP, I went OTA. I then decided to do a system wipe of LP and start over, so I did a titanium backup of all system apps and data
When I restored my system apps, I chose NOT to restore the data. This is when I noticed the OK Google was grayed out (I remember before this it was working in LP)
So what I did was this:
I went into titanium backup, selected "restore all system data", I then chose to deselect all. Once they are all unchecked ONLY check the restore for Google Play Services 6.x.xxxxx
It will restore, once it does this it may say that GPS crashed, you can ignore it. Go ahead and reboot the system and VIOLA! If you now go into google settings from the app draw and to the now, the always on option is available to be turned on
I can not believe it worked, I figured I would try it since I already had a nandroid of LP.
PS: Use at own risk, results may differ, if you have TWRP, MAKE A NANDROID. But like I said, it worked perfect for me!

I thought I was taking crazy pills!
Just as any of my previous devices, I tried to install Cerberus on the OnePlus 6T. The simple fact you can't block the status bar without root is a bummer itself but it was to be expected, what wasn't expected is the fact even if you tap the option to hide the power menu from the lock screen, it is still visible for a fraction of a second and there is enough time to press the power or restart buttons before it hides.
So that makes me wonder, is there a better alternative to Cerberus that works well with the OnePlus 6T? Android native "find my device" is a joke because anyone can just turn off the Internet toggles from the lock screen and there goes the app coverage, was thinking about Prey but haven't tried it just yet. Any advice or recommendation is highly appreciated.
Thanks
I've been looking for an alternative as well. I've always rooted and used Cerberus. But I haven't rooted this device.
I've been using an app that used to be called locker by Aegis Dynamics; it's now called test, it may be what you're looking for.
I use renovate rom my lockscreen is set to have nothing on it at all and it works fine. No notification panel no quick settings no power menu or quick launch. Also pin number position is random.
Lockscreen config for the rom.

I don't get it. It shows you can install this app, but it already shows up in the device admin tab??
I think it's preinstalled on Android
I've always used Cerberus and never really looked for alternatives. I think it's been removed from the store now as updates come direct from the Cerberus site.
