Hi,
Ive had the OPO for over a year. Im wondering if i should root and install a custom rom. Are there real benefits in performance and stability? Is it a must to root it?
Thanks.
Stock ROMs are stable enough, customs are too, performance is of course better with aftermarket kernels, custom ROMs have more features, yes it is necessary to root and unlock bootloader for that kind of stuff. Root isn't necessary but unlocked bootloader is

Well I'm now on COS13 I don't have root and I think I don't need it
Everything works great

With sultan's ROM you can't do anything wrong. It's know to have very good camera quality and very good battery usage

I have a few questions...
I've been around xda for a bit rooting and flashing roms but this TF300 business sounds a bit more complicated so I have some questions.
Build# JOP40D.WW_epad-10.6.1.8-20130225
I have a TF300T running stock 4.2.1 rooted with a bunch of root mods to make things a bit smoother but it looks like custom rom would be still faster than this. Am I correct?
How stable are the custom roms in comparison to the stock rom? Will I be able to get OTA updates in the future if ASUS decides to release more?
Is my bootloader still unlockable if I'm running whatever came with the last stock update?
How hard it is to brick a TF300? I've had 3 phones that were pretty much unbrickable. (Assuming one does not flash the wrong files to the wrong phone)
Which tutorial should I be follow? Can I unlock the bootloader on 4.2.1's bootloader or do I have to downgrade?
Is this sub-forum not friendly enough to help out a new guy who has read through many topics to try and help himself first?

Hello, everyone.
I currently own a Nexus 5 which is serviced and handled by LG in India.
Being a flash addict, I really wanted to know, that does rooting the almighty N5 give any improvement over stock?
As a previous galaxy s3 user, I had no option but to root the laggy device. But Nexus is god-like.
So my real question is, does rooting, changing ROMs give a significant improvement over the stock-unrooted ROM?
And are the improvements so substantial so as to lose my warranty?
P.S By improvement, I mean battery and/or performance.
Thanks!
I'm running stock with Franco kernel and there is a noticeable improvement in battery life. It's worth it to me, plus it's easy to unroot and go back to stock. But really, it's up to you.

Hello my fellow Mumbaikar lol
No one can tell you whether you should root it or not.. It all comes down to personal choices. That being said, by rooting a device and using a custom rom the performance/battery will surely increase but most people don't root their devices to enjoy the heavy customization which comes along with the root/custom rom.
Yes, the device is GOD as it is but if you root it, I'm sure it will be even more powerful (don't know what's above GOD like) LOL.
Warranty doesn't get void if you flash a custom rom or root the device. Google replaces rooted devices as well. Here's a thread about the same : http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/google-care-root-nexus-t2656079
However, if you're afraid of sending it as it is, you can always return to fully stock rom, remove the tamper flag and then lock the bootloader which will make the device look fresh out of the box (software wise)..
So read some stickies in the General section.. Check out some custom rom threads and see for yourself whether it's worth it!

rooting has absolutely nothing to do with battery or performance. all rooting does is give you access to mess with root files, it gives you root permission. battery and performance comes with messing with those root files.
Hi guys,
I want to root my OPO, but I need a little help about proceeding after rooting.
Can someone leave suggestions for ROM and custom Kernel?

If I root my phone and stay on this factory CM, will I receive OTA updates?
Yes, as long as you're running CM11S you'll still get OTA updates.

I have a bunch of questions. I just received my Verizon S7 as of today, brand new of course.
1. Is it possible to flash this to a different firmware and possibly load a rom for that, I've noticed? Or is there no working rom for this verizon phone because it's from verizon? I know you can root it as well. Verizon firmware seems pretty ass so far and have noticed that it's been heating up just because I'm installing apps from the playstore although people have said it goes away eventually. Any recommendations on which firmware I should use?
2. As for the people who have rooted, how has your experience with it so far in terms of performance, battery life, and stability? I plan on rooting if's worth the trouble so I can use Adaway, Xposed Installer, and etc but mainly to improve my battery life if rooting helps with that! Can I just load into a different firmware and then install a rom? For some reason there are no working roms or stable roots for the Verizon version?
Should I just stick with stock then?

1. No you can't, since in the USA all firmwares are carrier branded and flashing another carriers' rom would most likely brick your device. And yes, it is possible to root your device, but it is still in early stages which means it's very unstable and it would bring more disadvantages then advantages.
2. I am using the International version of s7 and rooting does improve my device's peformance quite a lot, but I would not recommend rooting your's.
So yeah, for now just stick with the stock rom.
Hi Everyone,
I just got a used sm-920T (T-mobile Note5). It is asking me to get an OTA update but I am not sure if that is the best thing to do... What do you guys think? Is it better after the update?
I had note4 and it was performing really poorly with some roms, especially the battery. I am also thinking about rooting it and getting a custom 7.0 rom but I do not want to sacrifice battery life and performance.
Thanks.

Thanks.[/Quoted Dr ketans note 5 rom will work fine on your s6e+. Just flash the kernel your phone during install(A menu pops up and asks, yours is 928t). And also flash the call audio fix. You will need twrp recovery installed on your phone via odin. There's no loss of battery life and it's a touchwiz based rom. So you keep your samsung apps and whatnot. There are oreo roms out also floating around which is 8.0 but I don't think you should go there as a daily driver if you are not tech savvy. It's still a newer development. The Dr ketans rom and nemesis rom 7.0 nougat are both well used and tested, I simply prefer ketans.
