is it worth it to root right now before i add anything more to my oneplus3?

my only complaint is the proprietary, unremoveable file browser app along with other google junk

Is SuperSU 2.76 the last good version before the Chinese took over?

>>56668585
I root my phones as soon as i unbox them.

What's the best custom ROM to install if I'm mainly concerned with security?

>>56668612
Correct

>>56668663
>android
>security
Android is itself a botnet
Best solution is to flash cyanogenmod without gapps

>>56668663
Copperhead OS. Or any other rom really without Google play services

>>56668626
ive only had mine for three days and since i know it wont be a pain to backup i was wondering if it is worth it to use CM over oxygenos

>>56668663
cyanogenmod without gapps and full disk encryption

add adoptable storage to the full disk encryption to encrypt your microSD card as well

>>56668698
>>56668702
I fully realise that android is a botnet by google, but I still want something that's a bit more secure than what google offers with stock android. Copperhead looks promising, ty.

cyanogenmod is really great
i installed cm 12.1 on an old jelly bean phone and it runs 100% faster and taskes 50% less memory

>>56668740
Why would you recommend flux over cf.lumen if you're rooted?

>>56668703
Can't help you then m8, never used OxygenOS so i don't know if it's going to be better or worse.

>>56668740
Why isn't Neutron on that list? It's objectively the best music player at its main task of playing music.

>>56668674
Is UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip with sha1 d24566543093318f02eb570404d756ffef7b3118 the legit flashable zip from Chainfire?

>>56668791
I thought cf.lumen just did some overlay shit.

>>56668796
How is neutron any different/better than Poweramp?
The guide is still under construction, hence the (beta) at the top.

>>56668371
What are the benefits of going gapps-free? I want to try it.

>>56668817
Just use some other superuser app
I'm using superuser by phh

>>56668791
CM13 has built-in redshift functionality.

>>56668839
Battery life improvements and privacy.
I tried it for a while and for the most part it worked pretty well. Google maps worked fine ootb, but I couldn't get hangouts to work even with micro g. If I didn't need hangouts I definitely would be Gapps free though.

>>56668852
And Android 7 also has it built in I believe.

>>56668849
I thought Phhusson's superuser was still in beta and worked only on Nexuses

>>56668834
That's only when you're not rooted, it actually keeps the blacks black with root

>>56668703
Opo owner here and I've never bothered with oxygen. Cm has too many good features and I start to realise how spoilt I am when I see reviews and/or friends with bleeding edge phones getting excited over little software features. Every single time its something I've been used to for years now.

From what I see, oxygen is stock with one or two little extras. Personally, I'd struggle to use it now.

>>56668877
Works on all devices
It's the best superuser if you also use magisk

>>56668902
>>56668929
Oh, nice. I guess I need to do some catching up.

>>56668834
>How is neutron any different/better than Poweramp?
For starters it's the only player with a parametric eq instead of the graphical eq on everything else, supports almost every audio format, niche features such has .cue files for single flacs, usb dacs, crossfeed, built-in streaming, grouping by album artist and some more features that i don't even know and sound like an audiophile's wet dream, look their Play Store page.

The new version of PowerAmp might've gotten some of these features with the new version though, it's been a long time since i used it.

>>56668740
>kernel adiutor
I've used synapse for ages and all the mentioning of kernel adiutor got me to try it but its got something like 20% of the features and tweaks you get in synapse.

Why doesn't synapse get any love, its so great:'(

I have a small question about cyanogenmod, my phone gets nightly builds and it's on 6.0, but I also see another phone daily updated but still on 5.1, how is this possible? Is there a chance also my phone will get stuck on 6.0?

can anyone recommend a file explorer that has samba support?

ive been using ES for a while, but in the last year it has increased its annoying features and seems to be gearing up for botnet status, if it isnt already. (since the last update it places a refresh icon in the notification bar but does not indicate what it is doing... and it can only be ended by force-closing, but restarts eventually if not blocked by something like autostarts)

basically just need something that has samba and root access and is easy to navigate.

>>56669453
i think solid explorer can

>>56669453
solid explorer

>>56669514
>>56669525
cool, thanks

>>56668371
>Niantic made Pokemon Go incompatible for rooted phones
so you cant play the game if you're rooted? how? for what purpose

>>56670128
The reason they made it that way is because if you're rooted there are several methods for you to cheat.
I don't play the game but you can probably get around it by using magisk.

Does anybody know if the G3 Lite is a good entry level android device? I'm new to android and just wanna use it to watch movies and do other android things.

>>56670218
how much is it

>>56670249
$75 on amazon I believe.

>>56670249
The only issue I've heard is it's laggy but that could just be due to google. I heard cygnemod makes it a lot faster.

>>56670473
>>56670494
if you're interested in installing a custom rom at some point, chink tablets are no-go unless you know how to port roms yourself. i suggest getting a second hand fairly popular tablet like maybe a samsung tab 3 or something.

>>56670611
Like this?

>>56670641
Check out the device page on XDA before buying it.
Make sure it can be rooted and that there are some stable custom Roms out for it.

>>56670657
Oh got a link to the device page? I wouldn't mind waiting to get the shield K1. Just a cheap tablet would be fun to root.

>>56670726
Thanks

>>56670194
The best thing about it is that the most effective cheat, Pokemesh, doesn't require root

>>56668740
Can Hearthstone detect Lucky Patcher if I only used it in small amounts?

>>56670756
No idea, I don't play games.
My guess is that lucky patcher wouldn't even work with hearthstone though.

>>56668371
For the S7 I can't recommend the superman rom enough

just don't install the sound mod with it

makes your speaker sound like a child being raped.

best custom ROM? Self compiled AOSP, no GAPPS directly compiled from the AOSP master branch

>>56670888
>tfw all my friends use hangouts
I really wish I could go Gapps free and it's just this one fucking app stopping me from doing it.

>>56670911
why not use a web browser for Hangouts?

>>56670930
Doesn't work on mobile.
Even if it did though I wouldn't get notifications.
Too bad none of my friends really care about privacy, otherwise we all probably would have moved to antox or signal.

>>56668774
I really doubt lollipop runs faster than jelly bean, especially since it requires at least a gig of ram

>>56668585
Had my OP3 for like two weeks.
Fuck yes. AdAway, Youtube background play and being able to uninstall pre-installed garbage is worth it. Flash Magisk if you want to use Android Pay or Pokemon GO.

>>56668585
>>56671015
Also, OxygenOS on OP3 is perfectly fine. Most people stick with it. There's no real reason to bother with CM.

>>56671033
Isn't oxygen closed though?

>>56670953
Antox is garbage, it slows my phone down sevenfold and never works for shit, it needs way mirework, signal uses Google Play Services so your best bet would be Conversations with PGP which uses XMPP and works flawlessly

>>56671054
How about telegram?
Regardless, it's pretty much impossible to convince everyone to switch, even more so when it's to some unknown messaging client.

>>56670911
U can use microGAPPS or from fdroid look for the repo MicroG that installs gplay services.

>>56671086
Hangouts doesn't work with micro g. I've already tried it.

>>56668371
How do I limit the amount of RAM each app can use?

I like xposed, that's the only reason I'm not on nougat.
Here are my modules:

Android N-ify ~~ get the nougat look (automated builds)
Custom Battery Meter ~~for aosp and aospa meters
InstallerOpt ~~shows versions when installing, disable any app and a ton of other shit
Jit Screen On ~~keeps screen on for specific apps)
Native Clipboard ~~clipboard history
No Lock Home ~~no explanation needed
PerfectColorBar ~~no more darker tint on the status bar, just one beautiful flush color (my favorite mod)
Play store Changelog ~~display full CL instead of having to click, playstore opens on your app list
SpotifySkip ~~play any song and no ads, premium for free!
XNotifications ~~hide and block certain notifications for a clean statusbar
Youtube adaway
Youtube background playback

Are there any apps actually worth paying for? Or should I just go to mobilism and pirate them all?
I do have $3.50 in my good goy survey points.

>>56671478
I bought Neutron, Solid Explorer and MacroDroid because they're pretty useful for me.

of course ymmv

>>56671478
Greenify. That's it.

>>56671075
Telegram's network is a honeypot, terrorists have gotten caugbt using it (which is good for national security but not if you want pure privacy)

>>56671555
Is there a better Gapps free alternative?

>>56671584
Fdroid and apkpure

>>56671721
I meant an open source messaging client.

>>56671721
Probably safer to grab the apk's directly from the play store yourself.
