My friend recently got his s4 in the mail the other day, and i was showing him rooted features on my nexus 4. He was wondering what kind of features are available on the s4 and is it safe, as he is scared of bricking his phone.
Thanks
Also what roms/kernals do you guys run on the s4? in case he wants me to root and flash a rom for him.

Hi,
Firstly ,what variant of the phone do you have?
Hi
Im looking a stock rom 5.0.1 for my Galaxy S4 i9500 which is rooted and without knox.
Can someone recommend such rom?
Alternatively, is there a way to install 5.0.1 root without tripping knox?
All Android 5.0.1 ROMs from Samsung come with Knox, without exception. It's not possible to root these ROMs without tripping Knox.
Ok but there are roms that de-knoxed.

Whilst reading through the PingPong root post under the s6 section the guys referred to a rooting app called kingroot, which can be used for other phones. Have seen some people with some success on other phone makes and also some with no success. Then some people complain that the app asks for many permissions, but at the end of the day its a choice you must make.
I tried the app which should be a one click type root, but when launching it is shows a icon with a lightning bolt next to it with Chinese text I cant read. So I dont know what the issue is with it. Im running lollipop which I understand this app "should" be able to root.
@dbenyakar: Custom ROMs do come de-Knoxed. However, you asked about stock ROMs. Moving the goalposts just a bit?
@Hhunted: Kingoroot I don't believe works on Android 5.x. CF-AutoRoot, if I recall correctly, is the only root method available for devices on Android 5.x, and it will trip Knox.
Ok then I will rephrase my question. Is there a custom rom, 5.0.x, which is as close as possible to stock that is rooted and de-knoxed?
The reason Im asking is because I see many roms that are heavily customized with s6 or note4 ports but with bugs in the basic functionlity such as FCs when trying to make calls etc.
Why not making a simple rom which will be as close as possible to stock first and if stable then try all other customizations.

Probably not, because what you ask for can be accomplished after rooting using tools that strip the unwanted files out or manually with the aid of a list of apps that can be safely removed.
I just rooted my us cellular note 4 and I'm wondering what all bloatware I can uninstall. I want to get rid of TouchWiz all together, but I don't want to use a custom rom just yet. I'm using titanium backup to uninstall everything. Maybe a site that tells what all apps can be removed, best app to use to uninstall them, etc. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome. I'm coming from a rooted nexus 4 btw,so that might give you some idea of what I'm trying to achieve. As close to pure android as possible haha. Thanks for the help!
Hi guys,
With so much information on this forum, that I like, is difficult to search....
Is there a safest way to remove bloatware on Note 3 N9005 without root or tripping KNOX?
I want my phone to stay official....
Thank you!
Only by deleting apps you installed or disabling stock apps .
Both via the delete bin .
only disabling apps in app manager but sometimes its very useful
this are the safest ways?
i thought about that....with debloater or other apps must be root and knox is tripping... am i right?
Also, there is a list with the Android 5.0 bloatware for 2015?
I found only for KK from 2013....
For me, tripping knox is not a big deal if there is no warranty left on the phone.
Rooting and Titanium Backup is a good combination for removing or freezing apps.
No, without root you can't do any meaningful thing, as simple as that.
thank you guys,
i used Application Manager from phone and turned off all the apps that i'm not using, i think this is the best way to be safe (i still have warranty)...
Hi all,
I'm on a Sprint S8 running PartCyborgRom. More and more apps that I use are no longer usable, and I'm guessing because my phone doesn't pass SafetyNet.
I use a lot of root apps and Xposed modules to customize the phone and disable bloat.
Have any of you just bit the bullet and upgraded to an Oreo ROM without Root? What are your workarounds for not having Root? I've used BK Disabler before. Are there other Knox apps to do other Root-like functions?
I'm definitely thinking about jumping to a different phone, but I think my only option for a fully rootable phone on Sprint is getting a Pixel 3 right from Google...
Without root and Titanium Backup, what are you using to backup and restore app data?
ANY thoughts on the dilemma would be great.

Logic would suggest to weigh the options. Which do you need more,The apps that wont work,Or root.
If you need the said app update. If you need root more stay rooted Til a better device comes along

I use Adhell 3 to disable bloat and block ads. Apart from that, I also have GoodLock and various other customization apps from the Galaxy Store. I don't really feel the need for root anymore.
Used to use a Oneplus 2 before this. Used several ROMs, even developed for the phone. Felt the need to root because Oxygen OS at that point didn't offer much.
But with Touchwiz, I already have all the features I need.
I have been rooting all my Android phones since old Samsung s2.
But for s8, i have been using for 1.5 years without rooting. There are a lot of alternative apps around for non root s8.
The upside is able to use apps that pass safety net etc.
The only downside is unable to use twrp backup. But since its not root, its quite safe and stable. Will not get bootloop and unable to boot into phone etc.
I may flash to BQL1 to trial-run without root.
Considered jumping to a Pixel 3, but as far as hardware goes, it looks a bit inferior to the S8.
