Is there a safe way to root my phone without bricking it? It is an expensive investment that I can't replace. Also I read if you root it, certain apps like banking apps won't even work anymore.

Hi all. I love playing my gameboy color emulator and am about half way through pokemon crystal again. I want to be able to save the entire app, including the app data. My last emulator, citra, was bricked by the developer and I lost my saved game. I have an .apk extractor app that I saved THIS...

Okay. This phone definitely sucks then. So if I want to adjust my volume I can't the the BUTTONS. I have to open the settings>sounds and vibration and adjust it that way each time. Yeah...no. iPhone wins again...I'll just go back to that. It was a lot more intuitive. Android really can't handle...

I am reading about rooting my phone to delete this stuff manually but also hear that it is very dangerous and quite frankly, after spending all this money on a phone I don't want to accidentally brick it. Anyone here have any advice on that?

okay: OP here, I didn't click the verification link in the email before I posted this so it went to a guest account. Here are some screenshots. I started a support chat on FB with Samsung and they said they'd be with me shortly over two hours ago so I don't think they're going to bother...
