Re: Rooting the Samsung Galaxy Note 4
I'm rooted and I don't think there's any way to do it without tripping Knox. My advice is that you make a list of the customizations you'd like and find out if you can do it without root. If you still want to do it then head over to Xda forums for the how to. Good luck
Good advice. Definitely pays to set goals and establish a clear understanding on what is needed to achieve them.
Rooting's not for everyone and sometimes less experienced or less tech savy people can get into trouble with customizations after rooting which will lead to bad experiences. There are many of us out there who know how to approach customizations in a way to minimize risks.
I for one can honestly say that I've done things that have had negative effects on applications/performance MANY times but I've always approached things systematically and have always been able to troubleshoot issues to adjust to incompatibilities that come up. Sometimes this means having to revert back and to not have a piece of custom software that I wanted installed because it negatively impacts another software (just happened to me last week with an Xposed module) . .
FYI Xposed framework is not yet available for Lollipop running touchwiz for those that still want xposed and update to lollipop
Yup, for this very reason I'll hold off on Lollipop on both my Note 4 and Note Pro 12.2. I simply must have certain xposed modules . . Amplify, App Settings, Complete Action Plus, Greenify's experimental features, XPrivacy to name a few. Once rovo gets a chance to get Xposed running on Touchwiz devices I'll switch over. It will be a while though.
