Hello freestyle libre application worked on stock rom but only when bootloader was locked. on stock rom with unlocked not anymore. Same goes for custom roms. no root . the wallet works and contactless payments and the regular application does not.want to turn on but does not want to read the nfc sensor. i tried root and modules but without root all safety net works and cts is ok. can do something about it?
Live with it. The glucose reader doesn't like Android devices have bootloader unlocked or Android OS got rooted. Blame app developer for this.

So, this is a slightly different question that what these forums are for.
I'm looking to install a ROM on my Z5, so I can have the latest version of Android and hopefully squash some bugs (especially random Bluetooth turning off). This is all well documented in the forums, but all these ROMs usually come with root included and here's where my problem starts.
There are many apps on my phone that won't work with root, like bank apps, Android Pay and Netflix just to name a few. So, I'd like to have a costume ROM that doesn't have root included. Xposed used to have a module for temporarily disabling root but from my memory, it was never reliable; and there's no Xposed for Nougat yet.
I know many of you install ROM in order to customize your phone as much as possible, my goal is not customization. My goal is to have the latest code, with the latest security fixes and with as many bugs fixed.
So, is there a ROM that I can install that comes without root? OR if there's a way to remove root from any ROM?
I do understand that my bootloader has to be unlocked, that's a given (just in case you were about to mention it). Also, rooting as an initial/intermediate step is also very acceptable, just not the final product.
You want custom rom and bypass netflix or bank apps, android pay etc. Custom rom is the meaning of BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED device, so there is no way to bypass these apps without Root on custom roms. Magisk or some Xposed modules do that, but not guaranteed.
Flash STOCK FTF on my thread (steps 1-14) and then flash your TA BACKUP. This will lock your bootloader..

Dear all i have a internationl S7 ( germany)
As it seems, i need to use the device for a little longer than i anticipated. I also use the device for mobile banking and some work related stuff.
Is it possible and advisable for a user with little experience ( i only rooted and installed a custom rom on a HTC m7 once)
to root and install a custom oreo rom on the galaxy s7?
If it is easy to do what is the most stable simple oreo rom, that has everything working just fine ( camera is important)?
If not, can i:
- root the device and still get OTA updates?
- install a free ad blocker that also works in apps without root?
- de-bloat the device without root?( there are so many apps installed i will never use)
thank you in advance

You can use all banking apps just make sure to install Magisk. Keep in mind KNOX stuff like S Pay won't ever work again after you root.
You can flash a Rom like TGP easily and it has an installer to guide you through all the options.
You will not get OTA updates on a rooted device even if you stay with the stock Rom. I am not sure about ad blocker but I think that also requires root and you can also not debloat system apps without root.
Can i install xpose without root ?

Rooting and having Xposed are not related. You just need an unlocked bootloader with custom recovery for installing Xposed. Doesn't matter whether you are rooted or not. Though most of the modules might need you to root your device for full functionality of the modules, but I have tried many without even rooting the device.
However you have to forget about both rooting and installing Xposed in Realme 2 model, as this device is just for kids. It doesn't have fastboot binaries in the first place. Currently the only way to root this device is via Miracle Box which is again a paid software with a hardware. Therefore I wouldn't recommend this phone at all to anyone. Apart from rooting and all, it doesn't even have native theme store unlike older Oppo branded phones. This is the worst android phone I have ever used.
A good hardware and asthetics ruined by bad OS.
Not going to buy color os based phones again .
Hi there,
I've installed LOS 16 on my Galaxy S7 and I want to use my banking app on it. The problem is that the app says the device is rooted. I guess didn't root it. In download mode is written:
product name: SM-G930F
current binary: Custom
system status: Custom
FRP lock: OFF
Secure Download: Enabled
I also searched the internet for a solution but the only way I've find i to flash the stock firmware.
Is there any other way to relock the phone with LOS on it?
Thanks for your help!

The knox counter has tripped, it can't be reset, it doesn't matter what ROM you put on it now most banking apps will never work on the phone again.
Sorry buddy.

Thanks for your answer!
Probably it is such a Samsung specific problem. I've installed LOS on a Xiaomi A2 lite and the banking app is usable. So there is no way to revoke the root permission?
Edit: On my old HTC One m8 with LOS 16 it works also fine.

Yes of course you can revoke root by going back to stock or a custom ROM based on stock but not on LOS as its a totally custom ROM.
With regards to banking apps working, some do, most don't. It very much depends how that app makes a secure connection and if the provider is happy for it to run on a modified device.
My HSBC app works on my phone but that's the only one all others I've tried give the message "this device has been modified / isn not secure" etc. and won't run.
It's not the root that prevents this, it's the fact that when you root a device you trip the knox counter which cannot be reset because its a hardware fuse not software.
Thank you for your reply.
The fact with the hardware fuse is known and it should be not the problem with the banking app. Like I wrote it works with other devices which are already unlocked. Probably It is the custom ROM which is not based on the stock ROM.
I will try to install an other ROM based on stock ROM without the annoying pre installed apps.
Many many thanks for your help!
Just wanted to know if there is any way we can use a custom rom which will allow VoLTE calls in non supported countries.
I really wanted to use root and use the respective magisk modules available but i use an MDM application which do not allow me to pass through the registration even with safetynet enabled.
Any suggestions?
custom roms require an unlocked bootloader. you will not be able to pass safetynet with an unlocked bootloader unless you are using magisk
Have you tried any custom rom?
