Who plans to unlock/root?

[twitch3488]

I plan on getting the note 5 and will be rooting that device. It will be my first root so any advice would be appreciated.

This thread is for the Moto X Pure. I haven't been in the Samsung threads since I sold my S6 so I'm not sure if the Note 5 has a root method yet.

You bet! Root and unlock and running custom ROM!

The real question is how fast we will have a root process?

Its up on xda in the pure/style forum

I voted - "No unlock or root".

I don't even root my other devices so I think trying stock android for the first time will be more than enough . I wouldn't use root for anything.

Keep your phone as is from the store or never use the device to make payments or other important stuff once you root it.

Uh...am I missing something? The Moto X Pure Edition is an unlocked device.

The phone comes sim/carrier unlocked...the bootloader comes locked but can easily be unlocked. That's what they're talking about.

Not yet it isn't

If I end up getting the phone for myself as well as my wife, I will definitely unlock and root. However, I don't even know what to do with it these days lol. My rezound and s3 were molested religiously with custom software, but I never have messed with it with my 2014 X. I would probably only use a custom recovery for full backups, etc. Maybe a couple of root tweaks. O and titanium backup of course. No roms unless there was a must have feature.

I do miss flashing though...

Thanks for this affirmation. I saw the bootloader unlock process--already knew how anyway, but nothing yet about root.

Thought I was just being dense.... Lol

Personally, having root is more appealing to me to use apps that require it rather than flashing roms

This would be my choice. Most people who buy this phone, are buying for the stock out of box experience. Don't expect there would be a need to install custom roms. I would like to have root for all the other reasons

tibu is kind of pointless. everyone says not to restore the data after romming the phone. so I can just backup the apk.
I'll have to see what I'm missing from Xposed.
if I do it'll probably be best to wait for marshmallow

i WILL UPADAT AND ROOT

 

[YeahMon360]

First thing I did was turn it on, look at it, shut it off and unlocked and rooted it.

Then I set it up.

What's the purpose of rooting?

getting to be a good question. IF Xposed worked on an unrooted device there would be very little.

Same here on apps over flashing roms. If I were to root it would be to run an ad blocker. I buy the paid versions of apps that have that option available but some mobile websites are darn near unusable with all the annoying ads (and I work in the digital advertising industry).

What's the best ad blocker ?

AdAway. It blocks ads at the hosts file.
