Any suggestions?

Does rooting reduce battery life? I'm not going to install a custom rom. Just get rid of some bloatware?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
it does not affect battery. it just allows certain apps more access to the internals of the system/kernel
doesnt drain battery anymore than normal.
OK. Thanks for the replies. Can anyone send me a link to find the benefits of rooting apart from custom roms

I had a htc hero and htc evo both were rooted and from my experience i was able to get better battery life with some custom roms.

Reasons to root:
Get the latest versions of Android on your phone before anyone else.
Try faster and more optimized versions of your phone's software.
Overclocking and underclocking your phone.
Longer battery life.
Theme your phone a lot more.
FREE Wireless Tethering.
Remove unwanted Sprint software.

from what i understand yes you can loose root and you have to wait for a dev to crack open the new ota.

In most cases yes you will loose root in any OTA update so you may have to wait. Root with a custom ROM and you will not have to worry.
Hy people...
I'm finnaly got the JB in my phone... It was hard and complicated to get it... and that's why I'm resisting to get the ICS back to keep the root in JB.
Now the question: Do you think that someone will figure out how to root the JB without going back to ICS? or it is impossible?
Thanks a lot!
Maybe. I couldn't wait so I did return to ics to root properly. Softbricked my phone but managed to fix it. No regrets!

yeah... I get 4.0 back... rooted... installed ota rootkeeper... and get 4.1... then... it fails...
what to do?? the Su file is there... but I don't know what it means...
I think you need to unroot with ota root keeper before upgrading. Keep a backup!

unlock bootloader that best way , I just done it and got the CM10 installed which is much nicer and faster.

You can try resetting your phone to factory settings and then download and install the OTA from the configurations menu.
Keep in mind that resetting the phone to factory settings removes su, so keep a backup, unroot the phone and then reset the configurations.
Maybe you'll have to root again using the utility after doing the factory reset.
I, too, had to try many times before nailing it.

Just out of curiosity, what is worth it? I just got the phone, and I've rooted every other phone I've had. So far, this seems like the first one I don't need to root. I'm on shared data, which means I get wifi hotspot for free. I don't need titanium backup this time. The JB Moto UI seems light-weight, fast, and the battery lasts forever, so a custom ROM doesn't seem necessary. I'm not trying to be a smart alec, just honestly curious as to what rooting can do for me?

For you there is probably little benefit, though it's always good to keep titanium backups, and it's great for freezing problem apps you never use and don't want to remove. I also use Nova launcher and several other apps that require root for full functionality.

im in the same exact boat. I have had every other phone rooted but i just dont see the need on this one. Limited dev work from what i can see. Already have a great battery. Now we just wait for a Moto Nexus Soon
i just got an s6 and enjoy it stock but it does have tons of bloatware and is a little hard to manage (status, verizon messager app, etc)
what did you guys do that you enjoyed and didnt regret on your phone? i used to have xposed but it doesnt work here

Depending on what firmware version you have you may not even be able to root. But personally I did it so I could get rid of the massive amounts of bloatware

I rooted my s6 and am running a slim version of the stick rom. I found that the battery is slightly better without all the other Samsung apps.

Rooted and on clean rom lite 1.1.
Rooted on stock ROM but removed bloatware, unwanted ringtones and notifications.
If you're on OC3 or OE2 and you know and fully understand the rooting process and the pros and cons that come along with rooting, GO FOR IT!
Debloat and have more control of your device.
If I weren't stuck on OF1, I'd be abusing the [email protected]#t out of my phone right now.

Sucks for us then.
Anyone know if this will stop root? I haven't rooted yet, I was curious n checked for a update n well apparently there was one here's info
Best wait. We have root because of the engineer boot. Don't see why it would buy it could.

No, you're fine to update, I'm on the latest firmware, rooted, with xposed installed. You're gonna wanna change the kernel governor after rooting to interactive or on demand fyi.

Is it also safe to update and then root?

I'm assuming yes because you'll be on the PG1 firmware and that's what I'm rooted on.
Is it possible to downgrade back to marshmallow if I don't like nougat? Would I just flash the stock MM firmware or would it be a different procedure
yes this is the process ... you only have to find the right Firmware for you specific device.

Awesome thank you. I want to try nougat but I don't want to be stuck on it if I don't like it. Not too sure if I want to give up root and xposed...

What are you running by the way? Just curious.
Tried rooted stock minor lag but over heating with some apps and games. Tried echo Rom but got extreme heating and had to stop playing a game or certain apps. Tried stock t mobile but would warm up. Finally tried at&t nougat and ran smooth and now currently on t mobile nougat running better them anything. I miss root but not the over heating so patiently awaiting root.

I'm running the Echoe rom v1.5
I don't get any over heating, only when updating all my spas but I am also using XBooster, root booster, and setCPU
Sorry meant apps*
