My work uses Good for Enterprise for email and recently issued me a Galaxy S5. I have been a Nexus 7 2013 user for the last year or so and would like to go as Nexus like as possible. The problem is our GFE MDM policy locks me out of GFE as soon as it detects root.
Is it possible for me to get one of the custom ROMs and then be able to keep GFE? Will the Roms work after they have been unrooted?

if your thinking 4.4.4 kit kat their is an exposed module that allows our apps to be denied of rooting seeking permissions whick whould allow you to keep root

Hi, I'm new to all of this rooting stuff so I'm sorry if my questions seem stupid.
Anyway, I have a Nexus 4 16 GB from the playstore and I am planning on rooting it soon so I can use apps such as Titanium Backup. I recently upgraded it to 4.3 and I plan on following this guide to root it :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn5ih0omlxI
After this I plan on installing a custom kernel so that I can use apps to enhance the screen colors (any suggestions for the kernel?)
So my question is that will I be able to receive any OTA updates after this without having to re-root? For example, will I get the next update while still maintaining root.

In not an expert on what requirements there are too receive ota updates, but I can talk about kernels.
Most of them have some sort of color calibration settings available. All except Trinity kernel as far as I've seen. They all have different features these are worth exploring. My favorites are AK, Matr1x, and Purified if you'd like a few ideas to start with.
You can use Trickster mod from Google play to tweak kernel settings.
You can refer to this spreadsheet for color ideas.

No, you can't OTA mantaining the custom kernel, but there are ways to keep root while doing an OTA upgrade.

Hello all,
I Currently have the S3 Running Dandroid 4.7. I really like it. Was not looking to upgrade. As it happens my wife is in need of a new phone and not due for an upgrade so she will be taking mine.
The only thing either one of us use is the Native WiFi Tethering. Is it possible on the S4? Should I just buy a used S3 and stick to the custom ROM's?
I see that rooting is possible now via External SD. Is there an exploit available to enable the Native Tethering?
Thanks in advance,

not only is root possible for the MF3 build, there an exploit called "safestrap". it allows you (after rooting) to flash a custom rom in a secondary slot and boot into it, leaving the stock firmware untouched.
check out the link and read up on it (under step 3) for some better understanding. it might help you make the decision for S3 or S4.

Thank you for replying with the link that was very helpful.
Knowing my wife she would not be comfortable with the S4 this early in the modification game. TWRP is awesome but she would more than likely not be happy if I had to load ROM after ROM until the Developers coded a truly stable Daily Driver.
I'll talk to my wife tonight and see if she will take my phone for now and I'll use her cracked screen phone. That way maybe we can give the Devs a few months to mature some of the ROMS and make the upgrade to the S4 an easier decision.
Thanks for the help,

On the AT&T S4 (on MF3) I am able to use the WiFi Hotspot on the stock out-of-the-box rom with no problem. I am currently replying to you using it with my laptop. I have not tried the USB tethering feature yet but it is there.

Hold the phone! You're saying that the Wi-Fi is active without paying the added fee for it on the stock ROM?

I am pretty sure but I need to confirm with my office that they didn't automatically add that to my phone without telling me.
I will check on Monday unless someone else can confirm before then.

Hi everyone,
I am going to purchase a Note 3 the next week (probably Vodafone Australia) and would be interested to know if there is a way to prevent the upgrade from 4.3 JB to 4.4 KK?! More specifically on an unrooted phone...
One of the main reasons is the App permission manager in 4.3 that would allow to restrict apps on an unrooted phone -
and I would prefer to keep it unrooted (The only reason for me to root a phone would be to restrict app permissions, but with 4.3 that seems to be unnecessary, so why risk tripping Knox).
I know one could turn off the notifications for the Google Framework Services,to stop the nagging reminders, but this only would delay the upgrade, not prevent it afaik.
So maybe there is a way using the App permission manager in 4.3 or something else?
Any help is greatly appreciated -
Many thanks in advance :cyclops:
On an uprooted phone...not that I know of. On a rooted phone, it's a piece of cake...just rename one file.

First you must take into account that very latest models might at some point come directly with 4.4.2.
If the phone is on 4.3 as far as I know you need to reject the licence agreement on the updates - when you first start your phone after initial steps it will show a notification on software updates, will make you choose a country and ask to agree to the license - if you say NO you will get no OS upgrade.
If you are also on one of early firmware versions like MI7 (where you can root with URDLV) you also need to disable the security updates.
Hi there -
Thanks a lot for all your answers!
Declining the license terms doesn#t sound too bad - would it have any other disadvantages if one does so?
Cheers,

hello, im looking to get a note 3 on ebay and it seems there all running jelly bean. I would like to know what is the best option for me. I would like root access as I was using android-wifi-tither on my old Motorola.
-should I do the ota update to kitkat,
(when I did this on my driod maxx it locked the bootloaded and I was no longer able to root or use wifi so I got rid if it. )
-should/can I install this leaked lollypop am seeming.
(how would I root it, would it have native wifi support)
This is all new to me.

Do NOT take OTA update for the very reason you have described. OTA will put you on 4.4.4 which their is no released root for yet. All other ROMS right now are based on the 4.4.2 version that was previously on our devices.
You can NOT installed leaked Lolipop ROM as that is not for our device. We will have to wait for our carriers version or possibly a port.
Once you get your device you should be able to root using Towelroot which is just a simple .apk that you sideload and run. https://towelroot.com/
Then go to this thread and install Safestrap which is the Recovery we use for our device since our bootloader is locked. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517610
Follow those instructions and then you should be able to go into the Development section and load up a custom ROM. I also HIGHLY advise you take some time and read thru some threads before diving into this to educate yourself before you break something.

-No that ROM you linked to in the video is NOT for our device. That was for the international version. I believe Poland or something like that.
-Do not know about the Note 4. Would take that question to that forum. But OTA update on regular Note 3 for Verizon WILL remove root and bootloader was never unlocked.

Root and you can disable this or use a custom rom.
Rooted method:
Download "disable service" from Play Store
Open it
Go to System Apps
Find Google Services Framework and tap it
Uncheck "SystemUpdateService"
Restart your device.

Thank you very much all worked perfectly, I had an issue when installing superuser removing knox seemed to hang, but I restarted the phone and all was well. on my old Motorola rooted phone I used Android-wifi for free wifi, is this also recommended for my new note 3 or do you recommend another option.

Hey I disabled the service but its been 12hr later and that update window has come up again, I looked and is show that the box is unchecked...
If i were you I'd look at a dev note 3 developers edition that way no locked boot loader and you can rom way more than on regular note 3 if someone posted this my apologies I did not read everyone's post. Thanks

I have come across some very cheap Galaxy Tab 4's on eBay that I was wanting to try out. I'm a T-Mobile customer so I'm interested in the SM-T337T (band 12 support woo hoo!)
I see that there are recoveries for the tablet so it looks like I'm not the first to wonder.
Basically, my question is: which Lollipop/Marshmallow ROMs are currently supported and stable on the SM-T337T? And have we been able to reliably root/install recovery on them?
Thanks,

Unfortunately there are no custom ROMs for the SM-T337T. There has been an official lollipop update, and since there are working recoveries, you should be able to use chainfire's systemless superSU root method (you most likely need the systemless root because the lollipop update is 5.1.1). The fact remains though that nobody has made a custom ROM for this tablet. Sorry

Thanks for the reply. What can I do to help the situation? What would be required on my end to port a different ROM to it? Either from a "stock" Cyanogenmod or from an existing Galaxy Tab 4 ROM?

For cyanogenmod you'd need a computer running linux, whether in a virtual machine or dual booting windows and linux (I have that setup on my Windows laptop, Ubuntu works fine), you'd need to set up your build environment, sync the necessary repos from Cyanogenmod's github, you may or may not (but probably will) have to create a device tree, but I imagine you can probably use moonbutt74's github repos to get you started on that, and once all that preliminary work is done you'll have to figure out what proprietary files are needed from the Tab itself. And of course it would be a good idea to download and inspect Samsung's source code for your device. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, this would be a good place to start reading: https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Development#Learning_To_Build_CM
Thank you for the very thorough response. I just don't wanna be "that guy" who gets on here and says "Waaahhhh the devs aren't supporting my device!" I'd rather help
When I get home in a few days, I'll fire up the build environ and see what I can do with her. Here's hoping no bricking!

I have that device on 5.1.1 and rooted it here(in case you haven't found this yet);
//autoroot.chainfire.eu/
Root available for both 4.4.4 & 5.1.1.
I would personally love to see marshmallow on this device! Currently settling for some Touch-Wiz debloating for now.
Does anyone have updates on this? I recently got an SM-T337T and would like to de-bloat it -- first on the chopping block would be TouchWiz. If there's a ROM that takes care of this, that would be nice, but I might be able to do it on my own?
Also, I'd really like 6.0.1, instead of 5.1.1 that's currently on it.

Hey Coach,
I know this thread is quite dated but just hoping you might have succeeded in either creating or finding a custom ROM for this device? I'm still using mine but finding more and more apps no longer supported on 5.1.1.
Thanks!
