Where do I find apps that require root access. Do I find them on the play store or somewhere else? Thank you.
The playstore has lots of apps that require root access, with lots of different features..
You really got plenty of choice!

Noob here. I easily installed apks from homebrew to Angry Birds via browser. I dont understand why I need root? Can't we have just bunch of usefull and free apks published somewhere and have all the goodies we want?
I have 2 days old 6.2.1 not rooted.
TIA.
You don't need it unless you want to install the Android Market or any app that requires root access such as AdFree.
EDIT: And of course if you ever want to install a custom rom.
Adfree is great! Also, with a rooted Fire, I can connect to wifi anywhere via my cellphone.
Hello to everyone,
I own a Galaxy S5 G900F, (Unlocked Variant).
I have downloaded and installed LOLLIPOP AMBASADII.ODEX.V6.1 ROM with Aroma Installer and I am using Amplitude Kernel.
The rom came pre-rooted, with SuperSU Installed. I Only updated the app from the PlayStore. The program DID NOT prompt me for Binaries Update. I also have BusyBox installed.
When I check the root status with Root Checker, it says Success, which means there is root permission. Also, I checked it with Platinum Backup, and it also gives permission for root access. Finally, I downloaded a Root Browser, and that works fine as well.
The problem is with value-changing apps like game killer, game cih, haXplorer and game guardian. Although they prompt me to give permissions, and I chose "allow", none of them is able to work.
In game killer, it says "root privilage is needed"
In haXplorer, as soon as I open it is says "shutdown"
In game guardian, the program auto closes instantly.
All the above issues have to do with proper root Access.
So, how is it possible for programs like FX File Explorer (root), titanium (root), root checker and others to have root access, while others don't?
I would really like your answer on this, as I am trying for one week to solve this issue with no results.
Thank you.
Once you get root access, it is sytem wide, not by app.

Thank you for the reply. Yeah I know that, so what should be the problem?
Maybe you need an app to hide or cloak root status.
That such thing exists for Xposed framwork, but thus it is not comparible with 5.0 TW ROMs, you will have to downgrade back to 4.4.2 in order to use it.
Since we now have sort of root I wanted to have a thread where you guys could list all root apps you use and what they do.
When I used to root and do custom roms the apps I would use was adaway,root checker,sometimes titanium backup,and xposed with some tweaks.
The reason I made this thread and I hope someone else didn't make one if they did (mod close this) was to know which root apps you guys use with temp root (until we get perma root) which at this point I think we will have soon.
When I have time I can add lists of apps you guys use or suggest here in OP.
Thanks!
** List Of Apps :
Root Checker - Checks to make sure root works
Titanium Backup - Easy way of remove bloat apps
I was able to use AdAway/AdFree successfully, however on reboot the host file was reverted back.
Hi,
I am very new to Systemless root and it seems littlebit confusing for me.
I have few problems. I am using Magisk Systemless ROOT on my 1+5 with Android 7.1.1
I already know that because of non-editable /system i can't delete or upgrade system apps. But my bigger problem is for example with F***dom app. I know that warez is not supported here so I am asking only for educational purposes (or whatever). F***dom not working at all. My pay card still showing (Fallout Shelter, Fruit Ninja, etc.). Even L***y Pat***r not work well. I am still getting errors when trying to patch Fallout or any other apps. One of the least problem is with busybox. Why I cant install busybox to /system/bin but to /system/xbin yes?
Is there any way how to make system root work like nornal root? I really want use my old apps. Not just Freedom, but for example Titanium Backup not working too.
Titanium Backup definitely works with systemless root. When you go into the Magisk Manager app does it actually show that you are rooted? When you click on the Safety Net check in Magisk Manager what message do you get?
I am using Magisk systemless root and it works.
So you're probably not rooted at all. And I did not even had to install busybox either.

I am rooted. Safety Net is ok when Hide Root setting is selected in Magisk. Apps normally get root access but as I said some of them not work properly. Busybox throw error when installing to /system/bin
Titanium Backup not recover system apps or data.
And what about freedom?
There's actually a dedicated support thread on XDA for Magisk. Since your issue seems to be very Magisk specific rather than a OP5 issue you would probably have more success posting your question there.
Just a reminder to all. No mentions of lucky patcher or freedom are allowed in the forums as they are warez/malware apps.

That app is also banned on xda as are all Warez apps.
I highly recommend you delete this post and go somewhere else before more aggressive devs start waking up
XDA's tag line is "XDA Developers was founded by developers, for developers. " and you come in here waving your middle finger around saying developers' time and energy is worthless and your deserve it all for fee, and your entitled ass comes here asking for more help exploiting devs.
Help specific to LP, Freedom, and all other exploitive apps is forbidden here. #GoAway
And all that aside, your question has been asked 1000x by legit users. Spending even 10-15 seconds researching the problem would yield a result. #LMGTFY
I'm getting a Fire HD10 delivered tomorrow.
I've read through a lot of threads on here but so many seem to be dealing with the hd8 & non root solutions & some seem to contradict each other or have been made outdated due to new solutions etc & my heads spinning a bit!
I want to root it, install Google services & play store, disable stock launcher & use nova launcher.
Is there are specific order I need to do, or should do, all this in?
What is the preferred method for installing Google play store?
Also, how do I block OTA updates? I've seen a couple of threads mentioning it but haven't stumbled on a specific way that appears to work?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I have done all the above and here is my person slant:
Google services do not require root so can be done at anytime just make sure you get the right files and the right versions
Using nova launcher as your default launcher can be done with or without root but with root is much easier (you just freeze firelauncher)
Stopping further ota updates for me is done in two ways:
1) block at the router level (this obviously can be done independently of the device)
2) with root again freeze BOTH ota apps. One is for system updates and one is for app updates I freeze both just to be safe and have never been notified of the update to 5620... Still on 5610
As far as rooting itself I would use the offline method listed in forums here. Personally after rooting I took an additional step and loaded one of the predone images also found in forums that had root and xposed all built in. This additional process required the use of the flashfire app that is a whole other set of procedures but overall is well worth it. Flashfire will give you the ability to update to newer software versions without updating the bootloader. Thus you will always be up to date but not lose the ability to downgrade if needed. This ASSUMES you are initially on 5601 or 5610. If your already on 5620 your bootloader is already locked from downgrades.
