1. Up to you. I've never installed an anti virus program on my phone because they run in the background eating battery and processing power.
2. I don't think it's really an equivalent but google drive alows you to sync folders on your pc with your android phone.
3. By rooting your phone it gives you full control allowing you to get rid of bloatware(pre installed software like soundhound, amazon mp3 etc.)
install custom roms that fit your preference and much more really. So many advantages you should youtube the benefits of rooting.
4.If you root your phone titanium backup is a must. It backs up your apps so when you install new roms you can just press a button and everything gets restored instead of you spending hours downloading and installing apps.

you can also use my backup root from the market to backup and restore apps after install new roms
No to antivirus
Many options, drop box, Google drive , etc with Android tot are not limited to Google only products add you are with Apple
You can use titanium backup for applications backup and restore, custom recovery for full device backups, a must if you plan to try the many custom ROM options
Would suggest that you follow the index link in my signature and read the many guides in the initial guide section first

AVG or Sophos are good but to be quite honest i don't use either anymore. If you feel safer using one then i'd say one of those two would do.
avast is also good. it also adds firewall and stolen phone finder.
I installed avast just for the anti theft, then removed the anti virus

I've been using Lookout as AV ever since I got my phone. It has negligible impact on battery life.
I have a friend at work, who is a security expert and he got a virus on his Android phone. NOW he uses an AV product.
The apps I can't live without are Titanium Backup, 4EXT Recovery, and ES File Explorer.

I love the multi user support! Finally, i get my own space separate from my wife (and a lot less pink)!
I'm running the EOS version of 4.2.1 and its great with the HW acceleration!
After installation i proceeded down the standard restoration path, using titanium backup to restore my apps/data. Worked great, except for 1 app (Business Calendar). Would not restore in either batch mode or single mode.
Turns out, secondary users don't get root permission. So i decided to just download the app under my wife's account and go back after the fact to restore the data. But, this app does not exist under my profile.
Digging into the wtf, i discover that the entire user space is separated out for each user. Which makes sense..
So, the questions I have are....
How to I get an app to appear for all users?
Is this a cutting edge thing that titanium backup hasn't caught up to yet?
If it is safe to move the app into an all user space? If so, what is the best way of accomplishing this?
Or is this just one of those things where I should wisely start all over with the app installations to keep each user space separate?

Hello All,
I am new to forum. Also new to smart phone world. Earlier I used Iphone 4S. I have two questions as for now:-
1.) Weather application in Iphone was wonderfull but in S4 is useless. Can I uninstall this one which come along with S4 and if that application (Iphone ) is available for android/S4
2.) Is there any good camera application in which date and time get prints on pictures shot ( as in point and shoot camera or SLRs)
3.) Can I install application directly to SD Card so that phone memory remains free.
4.) And Lastly do I really need a antivirus to install on my phone, if yes than which do you suggest.
Thanks All
Answer
1) Yes- if your phone is rooted: you can use any app manager application from the GMarket to do so. If your phone is
is not rooted, you can only turn it off: settings->More->Application Manager->All->find the accuwether app, demon and widget->turn off
(i personally use "eye in the sky"- no complaints
2) Perhaps UCam ot APD TimeStam... i think that 4.3 camera app already has this as feature, but dont count on it
3) I dont know if you can install it directly, but u can move some of then (or all with rooted phone) after install in
'Application Manager' (showed in part 1) -> move to SD card
4) Android is pretty secured OS, so I would not recommend it (studies show that most antivirus apps are not very effective either)
but if you are planning to install external apps (not from Google Play store) and want to be 100% sure, i would recommend
AVG antivirus (lighter) or Avast (heavier, but considered more secured)
How to uninstalling system app?Uninstalling an app that you have installed on your Android device from Google Play is simple — but what if you didn’t install it? What if the app you’re trying to remove is one of thosethat came pre-installed on your device,provided by the manufacturer, your mobile network, or as a part of Android itself?Removing unwanted system apps fromAndroid can be tricky, but it is not impossible.Why You Might Want To Remove These AppsBefore you start deleting apps, however, you should spend a few moments considering just why you want to get them off your phone.
For instance, it might be that they are cluttering up your home screen. If this is the case, then long tapping and dragging to theRemovebox at the top of the screen should get them out of the way.On the other hand, these apps might be considered “bloatware” and take up valuable resources. Pre-installed games might take up space on your phone’s storage, while Internet-connected apps could be eating into your monthly allowance. Such apps might even berecording and/or uploading informationthat you would prefer they didn’t.And then there’s the impact on your battery life.Unfortunately, removing these apps isn’t as easy as it could be. It really depends upon whether your Android device is rooted or not.
Required
Okay let's go
Open Link 2 sd, Choose apps which you want to remove from your phone
Now tap on 3 Dots(Top right) and tap on Convert to user apps and ok
Now Reboot your device,Now you can uninstall that apps because now that app become user apps,Manually Via Settings-Apps or Via Link 2 sd, tap on 3 Dots(Top right) tap on uninstall. That's it easy way,In other ways like NoBloat, system app remover apps after using this apps(not link 2 sd) not affected in internal memory nor increase or decrease,Same as same link 2 sd download link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD and My wapsite link is

So I tried many things for stop rubber banding in Pokemon go, and I think i found a method that works for me. Thanks to @Wildcat2083 for his thread https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....nable-gps-change-rubber-banding-t3889811/amp/
Note :- in this method you are going to change file from you vendor , so be warned .
Requirements:- rooted device,GPS joystick,root explorer (solid explorer or any ), link2sd app which can be found in playstore.
Step 1 :- download GPS joystick and generate a duplicate version of it . Uninstall the original version and make the fake app a system app by using link2sd app and reboot device.
Step 2 :- open any root explorer go-to root->vendor->etc
In here you would find a file called "gps.__"(extension may vary). If don't see that file look for a folder called gnss ( i found mine in that ).
Step 3:- copy that file to any location like sdcard or internal. Then go back to the original file ( in vendor/etc) and delete it. Create a new file with same name and same extension.
Step 4 :- setting in up spoofing app. Don't enable any option other than system mode which will be enabled by default.
Hurray!!!! You can enjoy a working non rubber banding spoofing time now
Disclaimer :- doing this method means that other location apps won't work (maps, navigation etc) and adventure sync also will not work.
*Important*
*Keep your GPS in "device only" mode.
*Turn off location history for your Google account.
*Disable WiFi/Bluetooth scanning.
*Always start the GPS before opening Pokemon go.
*Repeat the same steps if you flash a update of your ROM.
FAQs
Wanna go back to normal?
-> paste the copied file over the newly created file.
Still face rubber banding?
-> just enable suspended mocking while facing rubber banding.
Still rubber banding?
-> use the tin foil method.
Should I disable any services or anything?
-> you can try,but don't disable fused location since the new update looks for fused location.
Lost the copied file?
-> dirty flash your ROM again
enjoy spoofing. If you have any doubts,you are always welcomed to ask.

The Idea is wrapping several layers of foil over your phone in such a way you can still see the screen and access the buttons but it is suspose to block the gps inside the phone from getting a reliable signal from space, I personally didn't like doing that, its why I originally worked out a software solution that prevented the gps from acquiring said signal from within android

Curious, I have been away from GO for awhile now, its always a cat and mouse game with these things, is the method still functioning? I had some folks ask if it works with Android Pie but my carrier sees fit to not provide the update so Im not sure, at one point I wanted to make a app that automated all of this but eh not sure who is still interested in all this lol
So quick update, even with magisk installed no exposed pogo kept seeing root on my phone, but in a stroke of genius i found an app on the play store that sandboxes apps, its used for work applications to have a seperate copy of choosen apk for work purposes, what i did in addidition to the steps above was added pogo to the "island" gave play store access so I could log in the froze the regular copy of pogo and left the island copy working now it no longer sees root and the joystick method still functions, I win
Fake GPS app. is not works anymore with Pokémon Go ?
Some of them still do, i used the one from theappninjas ... The issue is getting pogo to stay running as they look through your files and processes to see what is running, if its in their blacklist then you get booted and possibly banned
I have followed all the steps but it works only for few seconds. I am getting Incompatible OS or software error Any solutions?

A couple things to check for are if pokemon go can see your rooted, if so then youll want to hide root from pokemon go with magisk but that slone isn't enough, you also have to hide magisk manager itself by using their option in their settings that changes their package name to something random, also pokemon go looks at your files in your sd card and internal storage, even if you deny storage access permissions, any file that can be directly flashed with twrp can do the OS message as well as any folder named magisk,root etc, also some root apps will cause you to not be able to play, like xposed frameword, even if its installed via magisk, busybox installer will also prevent you im sure there is a bunch more, as pokemon gets updated they add more and more checks
Its hard to find a difinitive list, its more about trial and error, even the joystick app i use by "theappninjas" has a help option to download their "full" version wich also has an option to generate a copy of their app that changes the name again as pokemon knows all about spoffing, its all about using every hiding method avaiable, cleaning up stray rooting files and really trial and error
The easiest way I've found is to root your device using magisk and flash smali patcher
Follow the instructions on flashing smali patcher
what if i tell you , you cant make system app and even if u succeed the moment you restart your mobile that app will "poof" GONE

If you on pie it will work but with a serious rubber banding if you have root acces try smali patcher.
can you give the app name used to sandbox pokemon go

Sorry for the super long delay, i unfortunatly do not have the steps any longer as the sandbox app i used was offered to me from google play store as a beta, at the end of the day tho i found out its unneeded you can gain the same effect by installing regulary way, the only reason i had mentioned it was i had thought in a sandbox enviroment pogo wouldnt see the sd card or internal storage but it turns out even in sandboxed it still does, all that really means is certain apps that pertain to root even if hidden with magisk if folders or files reside on your internal storage or sd card basically the game will see them N moreless kick you off, it looks for root apps anything named magisk and even .img or certain .zip files youd use to flash your phone, the best suggestion is google and you can come across some resources detailing which apps it looks for, i removed several apps and folders files until pogo would play without closing, i still had to hide root from pogo with magisk i still tweaked the gps like i posted in the thread its just minimizing the root apps to a bare minimum, xposed i know for one you cant use at all not even the one from magisk, pogo detected that right off, root checkers are another i know of right off hand

The app was island sandbox, if playstore even still has it all i did was install it, it gives an option to store and install a second copy of any app within it to isolate the app but as i had stated pogo still managed to see what was in my storage anyhow, not sure how, but i know it looks in /data /storage /sdcard and even /system its pretty nosey for a game

Lol yea i was late on the draw, N from what i know the game still has lots of players, i dont play near as much myself but i lived where there were hardly no poke stops and walking around endlessly for the things was a drag so i got lazy lol, im sure there are more exciting games, but as an example take Skyrim its what 11 years old something like that and its modded n played like crazy, i dont really see pokemon as a whole going anywhere anytime soon
