Just got an S5 And would like to root it i wont be installing any custom roms or out like that i just want root access for certain apps
My question is has there been any reported problems with the battery after rooting because my battery is quite good and i don't want to risk it if there is
All i want root for is root access for files etc no custom roms or out so would i be OK in just rooting
Thanks in advance:good:

Usualy with the right settings applied batterylife should improve if you have root access.
I'm on stock s5 rom and I have been looking to completely remove the stock hotspot/tethering app. On my HTC, all I have to do is use titanium backup to remove the tethering app and it's gone. I haven't been able to duplicate this method with the s5. Any one have any idea of how to do this? Thanks
Only with root
Hello and thank you for using Q/A,
you can remove a system app, if you have root access. Only with root.
Kind regards

Hello, does anybody know how to reconfigure priority interruptions button to be this way :
1. Completely silent, no vibration
2. Silent with vibration included
3. Normal use
Basically like profile switcher.
Cheers!

Cheers mate. It requires xposed in order to use all features (which I want). Do I have to root it? I'm new in Oneplus world, so I'm not sure if it comes un-rooted or not.
Or, which xposed should I install? do you have an apk?
L.E. I guess this link is the right one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
But I'm not sure what do I have to install from there.

If it's just for changing All/Priority/None to All/Vibrate/Silent, then you don't need either root nor Xposed.
For everything else yes you need Xposed, and for Xposed you need root, and for root you need a custom recovery and for a custom recovery you need to unlock your bootloader. It may be a significant hurdle if you're new to all this, but it's well worth the effort as it opens up a whole new level of customization.

I know what involves all these (for root), but I just need, as you said, changing All/Priority/None to All/Vibrate/Silent.
I think it works now, cheers mate!
Hey guys! I want to ask you some questions about root, flash,... because I know NOTHING about it (I'm a true beginner at XDA forums). My device is a SM-J510FN, so I thought it was here the best place to ask them.
Okay so here are my questions :
- What's the difference between "Root" and "Flash"?
- I know my device will have Nougat in September, so if I root or flash my phone, will it receive this update?
- Do my phone need to be rooted to have the possibility to install mods?
- In the camera app, I can't control the focus with a slider like the S6's camera app for example, so if I root or flash my phone, will it be possible to have this slider? Or do I need to instal a mod/rom?
I think that's it, I will understand if you think my questions are stupid, but I'm sure you guys are nice ❤ Also, forgive my mistakes, I'm French ^^
Thank you!

Hi welcome to xda :fingers-crossed:
-Root: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-easily-root-an-android-device/
Flash: https://www.quora.com/What-does-flashing-a-cell-phone-mean
-You might or might not receive OTA updates, but you can always install firmware via Odin no matter you are rooted or not.
-Yes you need root or a custom recovery for mods (eg. TWRP)
-If you rooted your phone in stock rom, the camera app will have no difference. You won't get the slider feature. You need to flash(install) a mod or rom zip.

Wow, awesome! Thank you for your answers! By the way, I understood that kingroot was not a "clean" way to root a device, is Magisk a better way to root it?
There isnt a way that rooting can be clean. Also if you root, or just put anything unofficial, including a custom recovery, your knox counter goes to 0x1 and can never be recovered to 0x0. That way you can get your warranty not approved if they see it, and also you cant use apps that need knox like secure folder, my knox etc
Oh okay, I don't use them, but it's good to know! I'll root my phone when Samsung will no longer update my device (I'm sure we'll never have Android O).

Yup your device might not get Android O but it will definitely get Android N so don't Root and loose your OTA Updates
Hi all! First, thanks to all for the hard work in outlining how to root the HD 10! :good: I followed the directions and successfully rooted my HD 10 with the offline method. Before rooting I wasn't aware that I would lose access to some apps that check for root like the Spectrum TV app and even the Weather Channel app. I kind of understand why Spectrum would not like rooted devices, but The Weather Channel app? In any case, I'd like to know if there is a way to cloak or hide root so that some of these apps will start working again. I haven't tried setting up Xposed or anything, but is that a way to do it? Does Xposed have a module that's safe to use on the HD 10 for hiding root?
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Is anyone out there who can help answer this question?

You'd need to use a systemless root manager like Magisk or SUHide-lite which are not compatible with the HD 10 root solution.
