New to rooting G3

[dark_ephemeral]

If one has a macbook air how does one root a LG G3? LOL. I read alot about towelroot... my info is I'm with AT&T, on the next program. What's the cons and pros in rooting? Any apps I should install after rooting to remove bloatware? Which bloatware is the safest to remove?

There isn't really any point in rooting honestly. The G3 tweakbox is really the only thing that might make it worthwhile, if you really need to change the color sequences and what not with the phone. Bloatware is really a non issue. There's pretty much nothing running out of the box that's really having any noticeable impact on the phones performance. With the customizability of launchers like Nova rooting doesn't really seem that worthwhile anymore.

Hey I answered you on how to root in your other thread.
Do NOT listen to Joltcola.
There are more reasons to root than just G3 tweakbox.
The ability to debloat the phone and yes they do run in the background and hog the battery.
You better block permissions from apps and control the whole phone's system.

I used "stump root" to root my AT&T LG G3 and it worked just fine. Load to the phone one touch and done.

I removed the bloatware and my battery use got better, certain its not a coincidence. The Tweakbox app is great really like that as well.

I just rooted my G3 the other day and it was insanely easy... What are some good apps you can recommend? Maybe top 10?

Get IOROOT.
Get ADB.
Follow the instructions.

Easy you just need to enter some commands in the terminal.

Xposed modules: Xprivacy, G3 tweakbox, AppOps are a few that come to mind.

The only reason to root is if your obsessed with customization. What bloat are you taking about that's "hogging" your battery? I see people new to rooting on this forum asking about what to remove as soon as they root because they can't find anything. There's nobody on here with a rooted phone getting drastically better performance battery wise out of their phone then non rooted users.

Being able to block permissions is kind of useful, but for the average person really has no impact. Again, it's good for people that like to tinker with customization really.

You also save on internal memory space and I believe privacy is a HUGE reason to root.
All those google apps that don't get deleted run constantly and drain your battery
Even if you force stop them, they always start back up every time you do something on your phone.
They are always trying to sync data.
Rooting now is so easy its really hard for a noob to screw things up unless they "delete" a system file that is needed.

You can do whatever you want but I just want to clarify to you that rooting is easier now than it was.
Its an app with one click root. You would only mess things up if you somehow deleted a system app critical to the phone.
There are safe to remove bloatware lists and I have used them and all I good with no bricks.

I rooted using towelroot. Only reason I did was to install xposed framework. I won't be installing a custom recovery. Pretty much done with flashing custom ROMS after doing that for 2 years with my Galaxy S3. All of them seem to have one buggy thing or another.

 

[dark_ephemeral]

I just have at&t bloatware I wanna remove permanently lol. And learn about customization

 

[blackdogAC]

You might want to eliminate the evil Carrier IQ as well. That's a lot more worrisome on several levels.

Gaining full read/write access to the SD Card for 3rd party apps is a reason to root that doesn't revolve around customization. Some apps just don't function properly because of the SD Card restrictions placed by Kit Kat.

Biggest reason, get that precious space that you paid for back.
