What are some good reason to root my phone
Backing up stuff.
Audio mods like viper fx audio, dolby atmos
Battery savers like greenify, amplify, naptime
Xposed framework
Adblockers
Iytbp (youtube with backround player)
Dual stereo speaker mod
Kernel managers so you can underclock or overclock the cpu
And much more stuff!
Some examples:
AdAway - ad blocker
Titanium - backups
TWRP (no root required but you have to unlock bootloader) - nandroid backups
BetterBatteryStats - as its name states
Magisk Manager - If rooted with Magisk, you can install cool modules
Xposed framework - the best customizations with Gravity Box and 100s of interesting modules
SD Maid - deep clean your device
There are some battery savers which I don't use but are popular such as Amplify and Grenify
Tasker - almost forgot this one, you can automate a lot of actions when meeting conditions (such as automatically enabling WiFi and connecting to a network in a specific location, open a specific app when connecting headphones, enable location when opening a specific app, etc.)
Also, you can install kernel managers, theme your device and have some additional app features only available for rooted users. Maybe rooting is not as popular as it used to be because current stock ROMs allow you to perform some stuff that you could not do on past versions of Android, but I still find it useful.

Oh sorry. Thought you were OP. But there is no other answer for that. You can root your phone and have many things you can do.
Or just leave it stock as it is and enjoy it.

The best reason is that you can improve the performance of OOS by using a custom kernel and tweaking the settings. I'm personally not a fan of Xposed at all and would steer clear of it unless you actually have a very specific reason to install it. You don't want to install Xposed and then hope you will find a use for it because Xposed can cause a lot of problems. If you use Magisk to root your phone you might find some useful modules. I like the one that allows Google Play Services to go into doze.

The sound might be good, but not even close to what viper can give you.
A non rooted OP5 is good, but a rooted one a lot better.

Getting root is one thing, and flashing a custom rom is another.
Rooted stock is the best anyday on OP5.

There has to be a reason to flash a custom rom, and for me there isnt any right now.
But this is what android world is, flashing, experimenting, making devices better and interesting each day.
If rom bugs scare you, there is another world of IOS. [emoji4]

I've seen a few different roms such as the hyperdrive, jelly "beans", and BajaROM. Those seem to be the favorites of this forum and I was just wondering what you liked about each rom or if you have any reasons you chose a certain rom, I'd love to hear them! :good:

I'm using stock modified by myself a little bit just because I got tired of having to add stuff and I'd rather just remove. As for other ROMs I used to use CleanROM which is very good in all areas except you have to add in anything Samsung you might want, I think it also had a few bugs but nothing serious. Tried Bean's and Hyper Drive both were very nice to use and look at but I found it too troublesome to have that many settings especially since some things would cancel or break others (not often) so I've stayed away from those two for the last gen or so.

All of the roms offered here have many wonderful features and benefits...it is up to the individual user to make their own, independent, determinations as XDA is not a support site.
These threads soon become arguments over which is better, they always do....Thread closed
I was wondering whether should I root my note or wait for new update? And then root it?
I see no current reason to root. The device is smooth and apps perform fine. I use Nova UI, which also use on all my Android devices.

What about battery? Won't improve battery usage?
I always root right away. Its not that hard to manually install an OTA update. That's what I always do and just re root if it looses root.

Keep an eye on Samsung Watchon. I have caught it chewing up CPU several times now. It may have been the widget causing it, so I removed that and will see if it stops it from happening.
Anyone got Any news about Xposed Framework for Marshmallow, /Nexus 6p? Is it coming? @rovo89

Better than what, stock android? It's really hard to explain "what it is" exactly, I'd suggest researching it.
Just think of it this way...you can install modules (tweaks) that do different things. It's not available for Android M yet.

It let's you install modules that tweak the ui, save snapchat snaps, Instagram photos, hide root from apps, tons of stuff

It's a way of getting most of the benefits of a custom ROM while still running stock, and being able to pick and choose which of those added features that you want.
Essentially, it hooks into the framework of the ROM you're running at a low enough level to provide modifications that standard apps don't provide. Using it requires Permissive SELinux, and right now Marshmallow doesn't have that. "Is it better?" is an illogical question, as there's nothing like it against which we can compare. It is good to have as an option, though, because it can allow for things on nearly any ROM that the ROM creator might not have thought or opted not to put into his ROM. Another thing that is useful from Xposed is the ability to hide whether or not your phone is rooted on an app-by-app basis. This allows apps such as Google Wallet (Android Pay) to function in their entirety regardless of the state of the phone. Long story short: We want it.

Probably this. Make sure you flash the FiFix dialer if you haven't already (you don't have to root if you don't want to).

It is really just the Google dialer but for some reason, it is now necessary for Android Pay to work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oos ram management is notorious for being pretty terrible unfortunately. Many issues with oos since the launch of this device and the release of finger print reader patches for custom ROMs has pushed me into the custom ROM market finally. Definitely a great phone but bad software drags it down.

You can use xxx rom. It's in the 6 section but made for 6t as well. It's modified stock and super fast. I haven't had any problem with stock os and it's impressed me. All I've owned were Samsung previously.
