Hi all,
I just got my Dutch Ascend Mate MT7-L09 in moonlight silver, and so far, I really like it!
Now I am wondering: should I root it?
I rooted my old phone, a gnex, because it missed the kitkat boat. I used different launchers and even used the Paranoid Android ROM for a while. But since I can get Google Now Launcher working, the only reason I found so far to root my Mate 7 is to change the grid size. And I miss google contacts.
Did you root your mate 7, and why did you? What are the benefits? Can you remove all huawei bloatware? Is it better for battery life?
If you are well satisfied with HAM7 currently then there is no reason for you to root. Otherwise just root ur Ham
Also, rooting will also give you the inability to receive official updates from Huawei later.
I also wont say that it will drastically improve your battery life since rooting wont touch anything unless youre giving it the authority to (i.e. Using apps like Greenify can improve ur battery life since it will hilbernate chosen apps)
DEFO Root ... u can uninstall unnecessary stock apps install third party apps .. etc ..
Unless there is a custom rom for this phone, there is no sense in rooting.

Why u saying useless
of course it is good ..
so many apps still running in background and drains batt. rooting to install ad-away to remove annoying banners ! installing exposed fram. to add useful apps .. for modding build.prop or local.prop .. and many more. .how can u say it is useless.. I would say what is useless is just CWM or TWRP .. as this needs for installing custom ROMs ...
I always when I root and I have all done I then go flash stock recovery back.. bcos when OTA update pops up I can quickly update..
Thank you for your reply. At the moment I will not be rooting, because I just don't understand too much about it. I want to be able to get the ota updates, and would not like to lose any warranties. But I will be missing some apps and functions

The principle reason that I rooted my old Samsung was to use Titanium Backup in order to backup my phone. Plus it allows one to freeze apps, restore older versions of apps that actually work, if you downloaded a new version that has problem. With my old Samsung S plus there was no problem with loosing anything after rooting. It saved me more than once. Yet, for the Huawei, everyone seems to report that they have lost some function. I will root my Mate 7 if I can be certain it won't screw it up on some way.
I rooted my phone the second day I bought it. Main reason for me was the DPI that was set on 480 (everything is sooo big on your screen!). I find this impossible to work with and with root I changed it to 380. Geloof me, dit werkt veel prettiger!
Besides that I could also remove some of the Huawei apps that I never use.
Can some one explain to me for an idiot that has never rooted before how to root the mate 7? All I want is to have super permission in my phone so I can for instance get enter privacy control of which apps that I accept Internet access.
Is there any simple way to root my phone in a way that the phone appears 100 procent as an non rooted official mate 7 phone? And I want for instance the Huawei backup program to work with the computer.
How does it work when I install any future updates?
Will I need to Unroot the device?
I am. A computer Geek but I am a real idiot when it comes to Android rooting since
I have or dared to do it before.

I can understand your concerns but there is only one way in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2941525
If you are computer geek then it should be much easier for you as everything is done from computer... ? ? ?
If you want OTA updates, then you have to install the original recovery of your version (in case you want to install cwm recovery) plus you may need to unroot.
You can't hide root but you can unroot. Hope it help.

Hmmm that could be a great reason to root! Can you post a screenshot, preferably with google launcher? And what did you use to change the DPI? Ik ben erg benieuwd!
I've added 4 screenshots from my rooted Mate 7 with Nova Launcher. DPI is set at 380.
Ik hoop dat dit een goed beeld geeft.
I just got the ham7 and am using Nova launcher. You can set the app drawer for rows and column to 6 X 5etc. So they will look smaller. Basically the same as rooting. Per se...
Hi all,
what I finally did was edit the build.prop to set my dpi to 320. I like it this way! Then I used Xposed module 'App Settings' to adjust the system-UI dpi back to 480, like mentioned here earlier to get the nav buttons back in centre. Finally I used Xposed Module Dimensions Editor to change the status bar height and status bar icon size, because my browser and other apps started to overlap my status bar at the top. All looks great now, just the way I like it
If all you want is a different grid size just install a custom launcher. I have used both Nova and Apex and would recommend either. I think you will be stuck with the Huawei contacts though unless you can find an alternative you like at the Play Store.
I NEED to root regardless of what phone I'm using because i can't use another phone without the Tasker app.

Alright, so with the recent Root for the AT&T HTC One X I was wondering if there is a way for me to replace the current (ugly) status bar HTC put on this beautiful phone with the stock ICS status bar and notification shade. There are some apps in the Play Store that let you alter the appearance on the status bar, but they run in the background and seem to just run over the status bar (sometimes it flashes and you see the default one). I'm still not up to par with all this rooting stuff (coming from a jailbroken iPhone and messing with Windows Phone 7 only gives me minimal experience with Androids take on things) and am not sure if this is possible with a locked bootloader. if you could go one step further and tell me how to strip Sense from the UI altogether without an unlocked bootloader I would be forever in your debt.
So if you thought tl;dr then: Can/how do I replace the stock status bar+notification shade with the stock ICS versions?
Thank you so much for any help you can provide!
Edit to add: I saw in some of the other threads for the international One X that there are transparent status bar tweaks, but those require flashing. Am I to assume the original question I posed is impossible without the ability to flash as well?
Unfortunately, were going to have to wait until the bootloader is unlocked, to allow custom ROMs to be installed, or someone figures how to deodex the stock system to allow developers to easily theme.
As for removing sense, i dont know what APKs you would have to delete for it. I do know that if you download an alternate launcher, such as apex launcher or nova launcher, you will not see sense widgets and you can hide the sense apps in the app drawer in apex and nova launcher pro.

I figured the bootloader would get in the way I wasn't sure if there was a way to modify the look of the OS (the core UI I should say) without requiring a custom ROM.
Currently I'm using Apex Launcher Pro and its pretty amazing, still Sense abounds outside of the homescreen.

Yeah, my best advice is to just give it some time, the phone has only been out on AT&T for 3 days now. I know developers are already working on an unlock for the bootloader now.

Yup I was surprised to see the root to be honest. I appreciate all the work the devs are doing and can't wait to see what they do with this device.
it is possible, actually, without being able to flash. last night i spent time just changing up some icons and replacing those lame emoticons with ICS Android blacked out ones. looks tons better. i used adb to pull/push back to the phone. i'm currently trying to figure out how to theme the HTC Skins...particularly the dock bar. maybe i should take a look in the international HOX threads to see if anyone has done this
Howdy All,
I am not going to be allowed to root my new sensation phone for work. I would still like to do custom ROM/Kernel/Recovery/ETC on my Sensation.
Can I do this?
Well you can't overclock, use any apps like Rom Manager or SetCpu. You can't install any custom roms as they all come pre-rooted ( to my knowledge). You can't really do anything at all.
You could unroot a custom rom, but what's the point?
you could root it then hide the superuser icon with a launcher app. what kind of job wont let you do what you want with your phone? go into su first and allow automatic access hide all notifications then hide the app with something like apex launcher prime or any launcher that allows hiding.

My company is implementing the "Bring Your Own Device" for cell coverage. They are giving us a stipend, but I will have to install Airwatch/Touchdown as well. Airwatch will be able to tell if it is rooted. If they catch me, then I could get fired.

Yeah there's no need to be fired over being able to change the color of a battery meter.
Hi all -
So I'm just about to get my brand new N5 32gb black from Google Play (can't wait!) but I'm not sure how to use it to its full potential. I already read the beginner's guide on here, but I was wondering what I can do without rooting? I've been using an iPhone 4S for the last 2 years and had an HTC Legend before then that I did nothing with so I have no idea. I'm a bit of a noob so please be patient! I know you can download themes from Google Play but what's the deal with that? What's the difference between those and what you get when rooting? I really like how Google Now is front and centre, but can I install a new theme and still keep it so easily accessible? Like, how much can I customise how everything fits together? And how does that change if I decide to root?
Thanks a lot!

Hi and welcome
At the top right of your post you have a report button (small triangle with exclamation mark), click and ask to move your thread.
Done for you
For the rest, at the beginning I would say to get used to your new nexus 5. Mostly if you want to "customize" your phone the root will be necessary at some point. With a custom launcher (Nova, Apex for example) you can change the look of the icones on homescreen/app drawer, change the number of homescreens, change the number of rows/columns but if you want more (full theme) you'll need root (Xposed Framework with Xposed modules for example that allows almost 100% customization for example, custom roms, etc...).
Root allows access at the files system (in short) so you can modify a bunch of things..., without root about theming you'll be limited.

Thanks a lot, that's really useful. So basically all the themes/launchers on the Play Store are Google approved replacements that have various features (some of which being design features) to go on top of what I already have? So, will Google Now still be there when I swipe to the left or does it erase all that? Also, how do I change back to my original/a new launcher?
Then if I root, I can add unapproved launchers that have more customisability than what Google usually approves?

You don't need to root to install any launcher.
Swipe to the left Google now will not work if you are not on the stock launcher. The swipe home button up does though.
Once you have a second (or more) launcher installed, an option shows up in your system settings, that let's you select which launcher you want to use by default. You don't lose the stock launcher by installing a different one.

Welcome bud! The swipe-left-for-google-now feature is only on the stock nexus 5 launcher or google experience launcher(GEL), as it is sometimes referred to. It won't erase the launcher if you install a new one, it essentially just freezes the launcher you aren't using. In order to go from the stock launcher to others, just go to setting and there is a tab labeled "home." click on it and you will have the option of whichever launcher you want to run at the moment. I'm huge into tinkering with my device for customization and I've tried multiple ROMs and the rootbox option as well as simple play store options for customization...but honestly I'm now back on stock, unrooted. to me, this phone is absolutely perfect as is. There are a ton of options, even third party apps like lux auto brightness that allow you to personalize the aut brightness on your device. Pretty much anything you would "need" can be accomplished without root, though root allows for much better system customization. Again man, welcome. if there is anything I can help you with, just lemme know or PM me if you have any questions.

You can start searching for your favorite keyboard like swype or swiftkey. you don't need root to change that.
There are some nice emulators in the play store I think apple store doesn't allow emulators so there something you can do play games lol.
Now I don't know if this needs root but you can try this for some themes.
Don't you mean what can you do with root?

You can install something called a launcher from the Play store, such as Nova or Apex. These are home screen replacements. These will give you more customization, by allowing you to change your home screen grid, and/or apply icon packs. However, by installing another launcher, you will lose the "OK Google" and swipe to the right for Google now features. The choice is up to you.
For themes, you need to be rooted. These are themes that change your phones look, all around. I'll be honest, I wouldn't root for this. The android themes available aren't fantastic. If you want to theme, you can find tutorials on rooting, unlocking the bootloader, and flashing ROMs here at XDA or YouTube even. If you are new to this, I would recommend CyanogenMod11. It is pretty close to stock, stable, and gives you a few extra features as well as a theme chooser which lets you apply themes from the play store.
Without rooting, you can install widgets of your choice, install replacement apps such as browsers or keyboards, and install launchers.
If you decide to modify your device by rooting, flashing a ROM, or unlocking the bootloader, take caution and be sure to follow the guides exactly as written.

Thanks so much for all the support, guys. Nice to be part of such a friendly forum. I see what you're saying about the stock Google launcher - is there any way to keep it and change the look of icons etc.? Or is it one or the other? Also, what's the difference between a launcher and a theme?
Someone mentioned Cyanogen Mod 11 if I decided to root - what exactly is that, and what is the difference between choosing that and another one?
Thank you all again, much appreciated!
Hello,
You can keep the stock launcher and change the look of the icons with "Unicon" (Play Store) but you need root and Xposed Framework.
Maybe Desktop Visualizer (Play Store) could do this also with the stock launcher (without root?).
A launcher can modify your homescreens/app drawer mainly, a theme can change the look of the whole system.
Cyanogen Mod is a custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584004. For example you have Theme Chooser in this rom so you can apply some themes made especially for (take a look on Play Store for CM theme) .
After, why choose this rom or another... take a look in the devs forum, read the features list, changelog and feedback to see what rom will suits your needs.
For now keep your stock rom, root if you want, play a bit with the apps mentionned above to change the look of your stock launcher or try an alternate launcher. Then if it's not enough for your needs think about a custom rom.
But before, read closely the different guides and take your time

Unlocking boot loader is completely different to rooting thou usually done at the same time.
Root = administrative privileges to the whole operating system.
Unlocking boot loader = ability to flash other ROMs e.g cyanogenmod, omnirom and paranoid android.
There's plenty more than that they're just some popular ones.
Custom ROMs = complete replacement operating system usually based on android but not always look at Ubuntu or Firefox os
You know you could just look up one of the many noob guides. I don't think us telling you this is much good until you experience and learn.
Just reminds me how much Apple babysits everyone.

Whatever you decide to do make sure you read everything. From many many days of experience, rushing any process dealing with root/flashing can screw your phone up pretty quickly. Usually there are resolutions to most screw up's but that besides the case. Not trying to scare you but just trying to encourage you to keep asking questions with the addition of reading before making any modifications to your device. Welcome to the root world!?

Hello,
Before updating the Z3 to Lollipop, custom themes such as Little Big Planet or others, downloaded from the Play Store, also changed the softkey appearance. This was a really good feature that i though was quite neat. Gave the phone a fresher look.
However now they will remain stock no matter what theme i set. Was this functionality removed in the Lollipop update? Tried to wipe my phone, uninstalled themes and redownloaded them but no success.
Anyone know anything about it?

This is a limitation from Sony now and they might include it in next update. But you can try Xpose Framwork which is beta in Lollipop. You will need root for that.

Hi. I want to buy a Le Max 2, and I wonder what it could be installed on this phone? Now I have one Galaxy Note 4, and i have a plenty of apps installed (ex. Nova Launcher, AppLock, Bluetalk, Xposed, Repeating Notification, Battery Doctor, Profile Scheduler, Advanced Task Killer, Lock Screen, Android Assistant, Hibernation Manager, Greenefy, Flat Style Bar Indicators, Aqua Mail). Some on this apps is almost a "must have" for me, perhaps others will be not so important on the Max 2. What apps do you have?
Since there is a working root method,i don't see why you will have any problem installing any of these apps.

I run a ported HTC Sense Launcher on mine... works great!!! Definitely has root method, so at some point, almost everything will work. I tend to stay stock as I get rid of phones quickly and just install what works on non-rooted. To note, I have Google Play Store and all google apps installed, received OTA and still works 100%... don't know how as other have their Play Store break after update.... I guess I'm just lucky :fingers-crossed:
where do you have the HTC Sense Launcher?
