Samsung Galaxy S7

[jacosmit]

I truly understand the pain but trust me a smashed screen hurts a lot more(more so when you're paying for it out of pocket ) .

Samsung A D H

Quite impressed still with the service on my S5.

For the third time, has anyone rooted yet? :twisted:

I understand what it achieves but fail to understand why one would willingly root your device?

To gain access to features otherwise impossible... like mercurial wants to use titanium backup to backup complete apps, so he doesn't need to redownload. For stands?

Samsung when you backup the phone to a pc all the .apk files get backed up as well.
Pretty sure that is what the cable was for when i did the upgrade...

When it was done all my apps were back.

What would the point be but right now, just plug into the pc

Most people don't feel the need to root. How about we just leave it at that.

I don't think that will back up the apk files.

Samsungs software backs up the apk files.

Also, not just the apps, it's the data and all related settings. Not only that, I can then do other cool things, like turning off heads up notifications etc. Root gives you so much more.

Backup your phone with kies or whatever it's called now days, check the backup folder, you will find all the apks.

Yes they also work on any other device.

You want to back up your apk's just look at the playstore. If you want to transfer or share an apk use ML manager.
If you want to do everything in bulk, feel free to root and use Titanium backup. It's personal preference.
I used to have so much fun rooting and flashing roms. At the moment I'm enjoying my S7 just as it is...for now.

 

[DeeinSouthAfrica]

Happy with the battery.

Happy with the battery.

Not been playing with it much?

 

[DeeinSouthAfrica]

Not that much, but still impressive. I'm too frightened to use it much until I get a protective case. I have already dropped it once - luckily onto a wooden floor and not concrete..

Like I said, I understand what it achieves, doesnt rooting void your warranty?
