Feature removal and degradation with bootloader unlock ? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
can you guys please list what features (besides KNOX ?) are stripped, disabled or removed (or worse quality) when the bootloader is unlocked for the Galaxy S8 (Exynos variant)
Thanks !

secure folder knox and S health which S health can be fixed Plus most banking apps and netflix and junk I believe which those I believe are also fixable
So know and secure folder are the major hits

@TheMadScientist so there's no degradation in picture quality and video recording ?
Thanks

I do not know I have the snapdrag Maybe someone else will answer that one

@TheMadScientist I doubt this policy would be different between SD and Exynos but who knows
Did you notice any worse picture quality ?
Thanks

after tripping knox you cannot use private mode and samsung pay. That's it

[Q] How to disable scrolling wallpaper?

Hi all,
I'm trying to use a single static image with a resolution of 1080x1920 I'm on stock 4.3 rooted. I used the app Image 2 Wallpaper to get the image to apply without cropping and it looks like it would look great if it was centered and not scrolling.... I've attached a screenshot to show what this looks like. I've modded it slightly already to use the GEL launcher and would prefer to keep using it as I love the Google Now integration. If there is anything i can do i know for the note two there has been a modded touchwiz as seen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1960039
Does anything similar exist for our device? Aside from that one side question with root and xposed tools could i change the default sprint boot animation by flashing a zip or do i need a custom rom?
THANKS MUCH!!!!
Try HERE
Or HERE depending on whether you are MDL, MF9 or MJA.
Most don't have scrolling wallpaper. If it does, it says so.
THANKS SO MUCH!!! The second link did it for me! I was getting very annoyed with stock Samsung crap as I haven't used it on any devices since I had my last phone. It's definitely gotten worse over the years
In any event I am getting happier the more I mod my device although the new Knox warranty thingy really pisses me off. Total off topic side note is there any way to root a device with Knox without triggering the efuse??? Can the efuse itself be disabled or completly removed??
Other than that THREAD SOLVED A THOUSAND THANKS TO YOU!!!

[Q] Apps safe to Disable?

Since my S5, as usual from Samsung, came with a TONS of apps preinstalled....I was wondering which one of them I can disable without compromising the functionalities of the phone.
My goal is to free memory a bit, that should result in a snappier system.
I was used to unlock&root my Nexus5, using Greenify Tasker and Gravitibox, but don't want to give up the S5 warranty because of the Knox flag here.

Awesome Corwin! Thank you for that! As for my experience, I've found that most apps that will allow you to turn them off shouldn't affect most things.

Raw photo possibilities

Hello guys,
I'm curious about having a raw photo option in my S5.
I know that it used to be pretty discussed topic as from Android 5 is this option possible, but Samsung somehow didn't implement it.
I'm wondering if there is any way, how to make this option avaible, with less modifications possible. I don't mind root my phone, and if there is no other option, also install some custom rom
I think that S5 have pretty good camera so why don't use it fully!
Thank you

N00bish and not so N00bish Queries - ⊂•⊃_⊂•⊃

Guys, Please let me know ur opinions or answers for below mentioned queries.
1)Is it possible to enable face detection in ported n5 gallery(people tagging)?
2)Is it posible to increase call log numbers storage to be set to unlimited(currently limited to 500). I use Superbackup to backup the calllogs and it always show the number 500.
3)which file is responsible for dialler in ported roms? I have to switch only dialler from one rom to another(both are ported n5 roms).
4)Will the new always on feature ported to note 4(i guess it is software thing and is practical for amoled plus screen since only few pixels were litted), missing that feature from symbian days
5)Does anyone tried appsharing feature in dual boot between a AOSP and touchwiz rom? Is it possible to share call log, contacts and sms between dual roms(ie., data should be at common place and both roms should be able to access same set of data so that even in case of rom switch data wont be missed)
6)will we ever able to set Custom shutter speed in note 4 camera? using ported apps or mods?
7)Which is the best firewall solution for note 4?
8)100$ VR Gear which has official compatibility with Note 5 and s6 will support note 4? If yes only on stock rom or ported roms are fine?
Will add some more questions which i cannot remember now!

Want to root galaxy s8 for the sound hack BUT

I want to root my Galaxy s8(g950u) but the effects after rooting are what's stopping me. So far I've read that rooting will negatively effect battery life, disable Samsung pay, and disable secure folder.
Are there any other known negative effects that rooting cause. I may want to weigh my options.
Good news, you can't root the 950u so no side effects!
What sound sound hack do you want that the phone can't do? There are a lot of advanced settings in stock form..
