Hi guys! I got my Samsung galaxy s4 first day of release and I really like it, I had an iPhone before and I jailbroke it because it made it so much better, but the question is, is rooting just as good as jailbreaking? Should I root my galaxy s4? It can sometimes be a bit laggy on the home screen and was wondering if a custom rom would fix it?

You don't need to root it, its already good enough and if the small lag bothers you, have you tried other launchers such as Nova launcher? It's almost lag free.
But if you want the best experience from your S4 then yes root it, try CF auto root, but remember you lose warranty and anything can go wrong, so try to follow instructions properly and always backup your important data.

Thanks for the reply, I did try go launcher but just couldn't get used to it so I went back, but will give nova launcher a go. If I did root is it easy to un root it if I don't like it?

Yes its very easy to un-root, you can always flash a stock rom via Odin, and some custom rom have an option to unroot your phone.

What about triangle away and resetting the binary counter back to zero? I think its not possible right now on i9500 variant.

yes right now its not possible for the i9500
Rooting all depends on your usage.
The benefits being custom roms, but again it all depends if you want to keep flashing and ensuring you always maximize the phone to its full potential.

If you don't know exact reason why you want to root your phone then rooting just for rooting makes no sense. Root access by itself won't make your device any better. Also try to remember that there are many guys here that blow their phones by messing with them.
I've rooted my old sgs2 after few months and used it that way. After some time the only thing I needed root for was the possibility to move apps data to sdcard.
My sgs4 is not rooted for now because I don't need it. Playing with mods or "removing bloatware" is total nonsense to me as I prefer stable device. Also flashing custom roms is nor for me. So widely spoken app Titanium Backup I've used maybe twice in a year, the same I can say about clockwork mod. Just have no time to mess and repair all the time because I need working device as it helps me a lot in my work as smartphone and assistant, not as subject to experiments.
Guy from that video nicely explained what is root for and all of this is definitely true (part about security can be controversial because rooting and installing su does not patch security hole and permission prompt appear only when root access is achieved by su not by security hole), but for me in everyday use it turned to be as useful as towel for a fish.
Android by itself is very good in terms of functionality and far from being restricted in a apple way. You cannot compare root to jailbreak because jb on iphone is needed to get some basic functions. Android has all of this out of the box.
Remember also that rooted phone looses OTA upgrade possibility.
Everything depends on how you use your phone - there is the answer to your question
I am the complete opposite. If I have a device running an os, whether it be a computer, smartphone or whatever, I want full control of the device and it's os as it should be. I want full axx, full power of it.
edit: forgot why I came here in the first place, to the OP, glad you liked the vid and also glad my post wasn't wasted space like the majority of posts I see on here all the time, take it easy.
Rooting all depends on your need while using s4
If you're asking yourself that question then no, you shouldn't root it.
Please list what I am missing out on so hopefully that will tip me over so I finally flash a proper kernel .. =)
What cool new features do the custom kernels currently available offer? (apart from selinux permissive and getting rid of all the knox and selinux bull****)
No (easy) nandroid backup/restore and no zip flashing through a custom recovery also sucks =/...
Man Samsung why did you have to put us through this decision? One lil word that knox (warranty) can be restored / is still honored with knox 0x1 and this thing is flashed in 10 seconds....

Keeping KNOX 0x0 prevents you from flashing other ROMs, and some of the ones here on XDA beat the crap out of OEM stock ROMs. A custom recovery makes it easy to backup, change the ROM, flash ZIPs, etc. I had TWRP with Multiboot, on my Nexus 7, so I could test and play with other stuff like Ubuntu without messing with my main CM system. As for kernels, I didn't see any available last time I checked, not for this device at least, but I'm sure we'll see them soon enough.
This may not apply to you, but I asked my Sprint Store directly, will rooting affect my Total Equipment Protectjon, and not only did they say it is OK, the guy actively encouraged me to root (though that part was probably the guys personal opinion). As for Samsung, i don't know, but I'm keeping it as long as i can tolerate (end or December I'll probably crack). Hope this helps.
Why I choose custom ROMS and ROOT is because I get free hands on changing the appearance! I really hate the stock appearance of every phone (I think it's because it feels like I'm forced to use it) and I love to change every single thing of it. Of course there are a lot of different things you can do as well, I have for example installed AdAway (no more crappy advertisement all over your phone) and ES File Explorer with ROOT so I can change every file I want wherever I want.
Sorry for the cheeky reply but one would google "advantages of root" or something like it to get some answers.
Without root you are going to miss out on a huge variety of things, but if you don't use those features, will you miss them?
Food for thought.

Hmm either I didnt explain myself correctly, or you guys didnt understand me fully:
I got my phone rooted with root de la vega (obviously - if there was no way around it I would just trip the knox flag - but with RDLV I can do most of the root things..)
I know what a custom recovery can do and this one is pretty big for me already since I like to mess around with system alot and would love to have easy nandroid backup.. but so far that was not enough for me to actually trip knox for having that.
So I was asking what other things some of the custom kernels and/or recoveries do offer at this point? I see there is OC/UV already with Faux kernel? And sound improvement? Guess it's time to trip that knox.. but man if tomorrow or next week someone finds a way to circumvent the knox tripping somehow, I would bite myself in the ass lol..
Just a big FU at samsung for forcing this crap on people...

Will NU work with non NU
I am going to buy this tablet in a few weeks and I live in Australia and the model here does not have NU at the end but just T330. Will this ROM and any other NU ROM work with my tablet? Sorry for the noob question, but I am new to the tablet.

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. It should, the only difference between the T330 and the T330NU that I've been able to find is the T330NU has an IR blaster so it can be used as a remote control. No kernel is included with the ROM, so you are more than safe to install it after making a backup. If it works, let me know. If not, Ill figure out why and make it compatible.

Should I make a backup through CMW or through the settings?
Once I get the device which like I said is in 3 weeks, I will try the device out for about a week to see how it works and get used to it and then backup and install the ROM and compare it to the stock and then post my comments on the forum.

CWM or TWRP. Either one will work. As long as you have a backup of your system partition in one of those you will be good to go. Sounds good, I'll be waiting.
Hopefully there will be a few more updates by that time. I keep getting errors when decompiling SecSettings which is pissing me off. I'll just have to keep at it until I figure it out. Doesn't make any sense to me.
Sounds good, the more updates the better!
As with the error's you are getting, I have no idea what your talking about, so I'l just agree

Lol. Its all good. I got it figured out. What I was working on was enabling S5 Settings Mod in SecSettings.apk (aka. Settings on Samsung devices). Its not finished but it works more than well enough so its in the new SuperStocked version.
So I have received my tablet early and it was easier than I thought to use it, so I have decided to install your ROM, I have already installed TWRP v2.8.3.0 and it works and I am currently backing up my tablet to my external sd card and then I will attempt to try and install the Superstocked.
Do you want me to try out both of your rom's?
I have flashed superstock and I have a few problems, when i flashed it had an error with unmounting or something like that and the keyboard is not very good it looks like android 4.2 keyboard and I do not have root access. I tried towelroot but i still do not have root access.
I think I will go back to 100% stock.

If you happen to flash it again in the future, could you copy the recovery log so I can see the unmounting error. Its Advanced > Copy log to SD. I don't know what could have caused that but I doubt it had any effect on the ROM after booting.
As for the keyboard. It defaults to looking like 4.2 keyboard but with a number row because the ROM is kitkat. If you go into the keyboard settings you can change the theme to the material design themes.
I've been having a lot of issues with root. The su binaries are included as well as all the su files. It works fine for some people and it doesn't for others. Flashing the latest SuperSU will give you root. I'll add a link to it in the OP later today and mention root issues.
I have installed the stock v1.2 and I am still having root problems, if you can provide the su package I will try that out.
What I meant yesterday was in twrp when I was formatting the message was
E: error sending message to add storage 65537
Also I am wondering if it is alright to close or disable some system apps that are using ram such as
DeviceTest
SmartcardService
Context Service
PageBuddyNotiSvc
ELM Agent
Nearby devices
Unified Daemon
If so, how would I go about doing it?

Here's the SuperSU flashable zip:
http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
The error you saw in TWRP was an error from trying to mount and unmount MTP. It happens on all of our devices but doesn't affect anything. So no worries when you see it.
If you want to disable/freeze apps you can use an app from the play store like Greenify or Titanium Backup. Titanium Backup can also remove system apps but I wouldn't recommend doing that without making a backup of the app you want to remove first.
However, if you just want to disable some services but not the entire app you can download and use Disable Service from the play store.
Thanks for clearing the meaning of that error. I have flashed the su zip and I now have root.
Lastly, is possible to reset the flash counter, so if I take my tablet in for repair my warrnty will be valid?

That I'm not sure of. I imagine there is but I haven't looked into trying any of the reset counters made for other Samsung devices on the T330/NU. You would probably need to make your own thread and ask in the help section.
My device was seller refurbished so I don't have a warranty. Otherwise I could probably help you out.
I talked to samsung about the knox thing and I was told I still had a 1yr warranty from purchase date no matter what.
Really? Samsung put implemented knox so people wouln't flash rom's but they don't care! Something doesn't seem right here. I'll believe you and just hope that nothing happens to my tablet, just in case they change their mind.

Yeah, I was hoping Viper4Android would work on our devices in compatability mode since selinux is enforcing. I haven't had time to actually test it myself, but I did notice that it did ask for a driver install even though I preinstalled and registered the audio driver.
To be honest, street view and face unlock are from paranoid android gapps. I've integrated PA gapps into our ROM over the included gapps. DropboxOOBE I kept because I assumed that was the apk that gave people 50GB of Dropbox space, if not I'll remove it.
Some things I didn't remove because I couldn't find information on them. I only removed stuff I knew was safe to remove. I'm working on getting a kernel with at least init.d by unpacking, editing, and repacking but I'm not planning on trying to find the source and compile a new kernel.

It may be possible that they as a manufacturer don't care. When I had my Motorola I was told by them that they could care less if you rooted it or installed a custom ROM. The manufacturer warranty was applicable either way, it was the carriers that cared and charged for replacements of rooted devices. I have no idea if that applies to Samsung, but its possible I guess.
Samsung devices also include Knox for the enterprise and security. So a company can purchase Samsung devices and guarantee their devices and network aren't compromised. The NSA even said that Knox was secure enough for the government to use it.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2836612/samsung-knox-devices-approved-for-government-use-by-nsa.html
You would need to contact Samsung yourself to find out. My device has no warranty. I'm sailing solo lol.
Hello Every one ,
I am new to rooting but i want to root my Samsung Note 3 SM-N9005 if you could please answer some or all of my questions.
1- Is there a way to root the mobile without tripping Knox ? Version 5.0 or a later one
2- What will i gain from a custom ROM that root won't do ?
3- I read online that if i change the ROM to Cyanogenmod or any other custom ROM i lose the stylus pen functionality ?
4- What would i lose if i root besides warranty ?
5- What is custom recovery ?

1- Is there a way to root the mobile without tripping Knox ? Version 5.0 or a later one
Not really. There are some rooting products out there that claim to not trip Knox, but all i have read said to stay away from them. Tripping Knox is not a big deal
2- What will i gain from a custom ROM that root won't do ?
Custom ROMs are made by people who want a better ROM. They add lots of features that stock ROMS dont have
Take a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iBqrTDawM4 for example
3- I read online that if i change the ROM to Cyanogenmod or any other custom ROM i lose the stylus pen functionality ?
That does depend on the ROM
4- What would i lose if i root besides warranty ?
Nothing
5- What is custom recovery ?
A third party recovery. It replaces the stock recovery that you get to when you press Vol Up, Home and Power
http://www.howtogeek.com/193055/what-is-a-custom-recovery-on-android-and-why-would-i-want-one/
Enjoy the adventure you're about to get into
knox doesnt make it brick, as far as i know, and fhe benefits offsets the tripping. so its worth it.
custom roms gives way better customization than rooting itself, you can flash a htc rom, xperia based rom, or just a based android rom. oh it gets even better when the manufacturer decided to halt any new updates. (note 3 seems to be stopping at lollipop)
it depends, but try to stay in touch wiz based roms as this is a 90% hit on spen functionality
nothing else, unless you sort of f*cked up on the instructions and brick your device, well you my friend may have a expensive paperweight

Hi. This is a general question... Tomorrow I'm buying a J5 Prime SM-G570m, and it's going to be my first samsung device (and 3rd android device). From my experience, I know that Samsung always modifies a lot of their stock ROM, and many things that work in most android devices, don't work in a samsung one.
I've searched about the J5 prime and there is not much development or guides about it (I hope that changes, because I love to root and modify and install xposed), but in case I soft brick my J5 trying to root it, is there some easy way to reflash and get to stock ROM again and unbrick it?
I know this is probably a noob question, but I know almost nothing about Samsung rooting and modding and just wan't to be sure that anything that is not a hard brick can be easily fixed in these devices too. Thanks for any answers

You can flash stock rom with Odin and root the device. Xposed only available on Android marshmallow. If you want to buy J5 prime and expect for custom rom support, you make a mistake. There's no active development for J5 prime.

Cool, I don't have root yet, I'm waiting a little more time before voiding my warranty but I've read some users install wanam version of Xposed. The normal version doesn't work with Samsung?
