I want official CM14 for OP3 already.
Do they always wait for the stock updates to be out before updating the official builds to newer version?
I just installed CM13 on my honor 5x like an hour ago
holy shit its amazing, so glad I finally did it
How do I into rooting? I can't find a rooter that works with my HTC 520 Desire.

why
>>57277072
rooting is basically worthless if you're not running a privacy guard (like the one that comes with CyanogenMod)
I would suggest you insatall CyanogenMod before rooting your phone.
The easiest way to do so is downloading the kingoroot app and following the instructions on their website (https://www.kingoapp.com/)
>still no xposed for Android 7
6 for me it is.
>>57277103
What do you need from xposed anyway
>>57277097
See, I tried to use Kingo Root (both app and .exe), but neither of them worked.
>>57277090
it only works with android 7.1 nougat
not sure if it's compatible with a op3
>>57277118
???
what did you do?
>>57277084
>tfw no cm12 for s3
>>57277128
It basically said "lolno, your phone's not compatible with this application". It's been a while though, I could give it another shot.
Having cyan ? Sure
But root is a major security risk with little advantages.
>>57277147
adaway and xposed modules are big enough advantages for me personally.
>>57277145
what phone are you trying to install it on?
also you are supposed to have the app on your phone AND the program on your computer, plug your phone into your computer, launch the program, and it'll automatically root it
>>57277042
My phone is rooted, but does not have a custom rom on it
I tried installing a few different custom roms on my S6 edge plus, but nothing worked, so I went back to stock. Still rooted though, and works well.
>>57277090
I guess he meant that you should build it yourself
>>57277169
A samsung phone without a custom rom is just a bloated piece of shit
learn how to install custom rom's, it's worth it
>>57277042
my phone cannot be rooted, you twat.
why is CM suporrted so heavily on old phones, yet it takes for fucking every for it to come out as a usable build for newer ones? I'm desperate for a stable build for the z5 compact.
>>57277211
sucks to be you!
>>57277227
it does.
>>57277211
There is a new linux kernel exploit, with poc, using which you can overwrite any file you can read, i guess it works on android too
>>57277042
>his phone never gets updates
>>57277216
Because support in CM depends merely on developers willingly to mantain a device, nobody gives a fuck about the z5 compact therefore it will never see a cm stable build.
>>57277267
>His phone has a privacy guard
Going to be honest. Haven't really felt a need to root a device since like, Galaxy S/S2 days. It's a pain in the ass on a lot of devices, and doesn't really add much, for me anyways. Really just not worth the hassle.
>>57277281

Moto E2 probably.

I thought this was the technology board, not normie central
>>57278875
>using the word "normie" instead of normalfag
Guess you're one.
Anyway, do you really think normalfags will fuck around with alternative firmwares for their phone?
>>57277042
are you rooting your phone so you can play mobile games, you fucking twelve year old?
>tfw device is literally unrootable
that's what i get for buying into the xperia meme
Is your phone "rooted" when you install a custom ROM like CM? Sorry new to smartphones.
Any news on xiaomi realising the redmi 3s kernel source?
>>57279124
CM already has root
I have a Redmi Note 3. Thinking of flashing CM 14 maybe once it becomes stable. Anyone flashed CM on their Redmi?
>>57277042

What does rooting have to do with games?
>>57279123
Which Xperia?
>>57279124
No, it's merely attaining privileged control (usually through a security exploit). On Android devices when rooting, you get a superuser app in your app drawer, which allows you to manage the superuser access for apps which require it. All of this can be done on your stock OS, without unlocking your bootloader.
Though to install ROMs, such as CM, you will have to unlock it - certain manufacturers such as Sony and HTC make that really easy - they even encourage people. On others..I have no idea how it is doable, since I've only owned Sony devices. Unlocking the bootloader on most devices is not impossible, though - even if the manufacturer doesn't have an official method.
People use CM (and other third-party firmwares) to update their OS when the manufacturer has dropped support, to run a lighter version of Android for performance gains (though I don't really think that's a problem nowadays), or to customize the hell out of everything. I'm not even covering everything that can be done, but you should be able to get the gist of it.
>>57279195
Why is that a problem? I mean, running proprietary BIOS is problematic, yes, but at least he isn't giving Google his metadata constantly.
>>57279226
Z3+ Dual SIM Version, thing pisses me off desu, but I'm poor and it will take me a while to get a Pixel or something even close to it
The only reason I'm still on stock is because there's a system app that I use. If I could find a proper replacement for it I'd immediately switch to CM.
>not using CM11
Is it possible to use CM without root? I'd quite like to ye my banking apps.
>>57279294
I guess so. It comes out of the box with root access disabled - although I'm 100% sure your banking apps will work.
>>57279294
Sure, just dont activate it
>>57279318
not 100% sure*

Both those statements are true and I see no problem with it.

I swear to god I'm not making this shit up, android OS is suddenly the highest battery drain where it usually was "Cell standby" since I use it so little. Why do they want me to update to an unstable version this bad? I had to go through the trouble of allocating memory to my system folder when updating to 13 because it was too big for my old s2, I don't want to update anymore.

Better wait for stable cm 14. It's too early for experimenting.

I could smell the curry coming from this thread all the way from /fit/.
>>57277042
But anon my phone came preinstalled with CyanogenMod
What am I supposed to do now
>>57277042
yes let me void the warranty of my new 750 dollar phone
Cant wait for cm14 nighties to begin. Hopefully they get stable builds quicker then cm13 did, it took 6 months before those builds consistently worked.
>>57279294
>Is it possible to use CM without root? I'd quite like to ye my banking apps.
Since CM12 when you install it, at default values CM unroot the phone. You have to manually root before it allows apps to root access the phone.
>>57277042
>He still uses a pre-installed OS on his phone
My phone's stock OS is better than any custom ROM
>His phone is not rooted
Can't root it

I sure love making my camera completely useless!
Other than that, Cyanogen is alright.

Open Camera sorta fixes that... but yeah. Camera quality went down the drain.
wish I can root my htc 826. tried king root but it didn't do shit.
