Do Google Wallet still work if the phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked?
I been away from Sprint and cdma devices for awhile and the last I knew, it worked but just had that annoying warning displayed when the app was opened.

I don't personally use it, but I think that's how it still works. Could be wrong though.
there is a way!
there is a way to get rid of that, you need to install the xposed installer along with MaDoCo toolkit. there is a video on you tube on how to do it by wwjoshdew. cant miss it. good luck. I used it with stock roms, but when i installed an aosp rom (IllusionRom) it wont load and says something about the device not initiating or something. anyway good luck

So far as I'm aware, it'll show up on a GSM device as well (anything where the system detects that the bootloader/secure element can be compromised). As above poster said though, it's simple enough to hide if you use the MoDaCo toolkit.

Thanks...because that was gonna be my next question..lol. I did find the toolkit but do the rom Im using have to have the Xposed Framework in order to run the toolkit?

Anyone else still stuck on 4.4?
I have decided not to root my phone or flash any rom that has not been directly issued to my phone by Google. I'm still too happy with my device to mess around with that.
Therefore, I decided to create a thread for the people who are still using 4.4 because they haven't got the update yet. I'm in Malta... Anyone else?
What's better than the mutual anticipation for something new, right?
Sidenote: will the update fix Google Now not working on some devices?

I think you should at least consider rooting, the benefits of that are countless. I just re-wiped my phone to stock+root so I can just sideload the 4.4.2 update.
Why not sideload it?

Then just wait. Like 2 weeks for Google to roll out the updates. No point in this thread

I'm still on 4.4 too. I heard you can install it without rooting though.

I am also waiting, I am fully stock, and both my old and new Nexus 7 got the update to 4.4.2 but my Nexus 5 nothing yet, wonder why ?

Because it hasn't rolled out to everyone yet. Give it time if you don't want to sideload it.
I am on 4.4 and I could have done sideloading, but I don't care much. Been doing enough nightlies with i777 (ATT SGS2) until last month when it died. I like the pure G experience more than I thought (I thought I would go for CM11 immediately after I get N5 then Omni) and I see not much issue with 4.4. I don't use my phone to take a pic much - I have Fuji XE-1 and Canon 5D for that.
I will get it when I get it. Who knows.. Google might have really started nightlies and 4.4.3 is around the corner.
Edit: Well, it looks like they have decided to give it to me just now.
I just got my 4.4.2 ota update yesterday. Chose not to sideload like I did for the 4.4.1 update. My N4 got the ota update on Mon night (it's stock, not rooted). To some degree, it's all just a crap shoot.

There are just different roll-out schedules. Let me put it this way, I was on custom recovery and rooted, and saw I had 4.4.2 update (was on 4.4). So not wanting to mess anything up I went complete stock, though when I rebooted I saw I no longer had it regardless of pressing the update button a million times. So I just ended up side loading it. The reason why it probably was not there, is probably this:
Why is clearing Google Services Framework data is a bad idea?:
There is a myth that has been around for a few years that clearing data in Google Services Framework will get you the OTA faster. Android Engineer Dan Morrill has taken to reddit to explain why NOT to do this and why the method I've described in this thread is the best way to get your update quickly.
Quote:
Doing this changes the primary ID by which Google knows your device. As far as the servers are concerned, the device was basically factory reset. There are many downstream effects of this, but a big one is that this invalidates the tokens used by any app that uses GCM (which is nearly all the Google apps, and a ton of third-party apps.)
How apps react to GCM IDs changing varies by app. With Play Store you have to log out and log back in, I think Gmail usually handles it transparently eventually but won't get new mail notifications for a while, etc. Some apps you may have to clear data on to recover. All apps will simply stop getting GCM push-messages, until they get a new GCM ID; some do this frequently, others rarely, and some apps use the GCM ID as an ID on their own servers (as it is opaque and basically random), so other things besides push messages may not work.
Nothing bursts into flames, but it makes a ton of nuisances on the device, including some that can look pretty mysterious. Your mileage will vary depending on what apps you use.
All of this can be avoided by just doing an 'adb sideload' if you are impatient. -Dan Morrill

I am assuming it was no longer valid for me because my ID changed when I wiped my phone. So with that being said, your choices are to either wait, or side load.
4.4 as well ..I'll get the update eventually. No rush here.

From the sheer number of posts showing problems with sideloading, I recommend waiting for the OTA update. Why risk so many issues and buggy software just to get an update a few days earlier?

common miss-conception.
sideload is just a different channel to put the damn OTA zip on your phone. there is no higher / lower rate of issues than getting the actual OTA, you will be in the same boat.
Got tired of waiting in Dallas yesterday. I know...patience is a virtue but no a strong point of mine. Wanted to check the camera out so I side loaded both updates early last night.
My N5 has been working like a champ. Camera and speaker are definitely improved!

There are no problems with sideloading if one hasn't messed with their phone. Issues arise when one tries to sideload the OTA and they have modified files in /system.
I was using 4.4 ( unrooted ) totally original system, and got 4.2.2 update a few hours ago. I'm in Hamilton ON, Canada.
Hello, are there any Note 4 users here using "Good for Enterprise" app for work email? Could anyone please confirm the Xposed module keeps GFE from identifying the phone as a rooted device even if Knox is flagged? Thanks in advance!

You can use RootCloak.
I've rooted all my previous phones (LG G3, Nexus 5, Samsung Note 3, etc.) and never had an issue with using Good for Enterprise.
I got my Note 4 this morning and rooted it within minutes of opening the box. I installed the Good application and was up and running with no issue at all even though I have tons of Xposed Modules installed.
Also have root with GFE

I too have had multiple rooted phones with GFE and xPosed running without incident. Now I will say that while I am a Network Admin I am not our Exchange Admin. So perhaps this is a setting in Good at server level to check for Root.....which leads to the next question....what benefit can be had from root against GFE?
Firstly, I'd like to thank you for all the responses.

Root Cloak doesn't work with GFE. At least when I was on a HTC one with CM 11. GFE apparently checks something else than what Root Cloak hides.
Your company can elect to disable GFE on their employees' phones if they fail the root check. The later version seems to detect the Xposed framework also. Good for Enterprise, certainly, to their desires to appear secured. Banning root doesn't save anyone from downloading keyloggers or any other malicious apps.

That is correct. The only way to hide root is to use an older version (v2.7) and an Xposed module.

I asked a similar question there.
Updated the Tmobile 5.0 today, deffeantly tell of the changes. My first problem though was the app updates. They would not up date while the new Google Play Services was updated. I Restarted my phone then unistalled the Google Play Services update to finally get rid of the clash. Just an FYI for yall out there
AUTOROOT
I just rooted my N4 just fine using auto root, also have no problems so far with Philz recovery. Dont know if yall already knew these would be smooth transitions but I didnt lol. Well just some fyis. Have fun with yalls goodnes

Use Samsung Kies
good question on the counter, I have restarted my phone and have not seen it, Buuut I did freeze knox though. As far as updating Use Kies took about 10 mins
USB audio?
I got the Lollipop update this morning through T-mobile. It was smooth to update, and I haven't noticed battery issues or anything others had reporter.
However, I was super-excited for Lollipop, because it allows for USB microphones. And I've tried all 5 of the ones I own without success. I tried Samsung support, which was useless. They weren't even aware of the feature.
Do you think it's possible that Samsung or T-mobile bypassed this native feature to Lollipop? I was connecting via OTG cable. I haven't tried mic to powered hub to OTG yet, because I've seen Nexus owners on Lollypop just connect USB microphones via OTG.
I'd be grateful for any advice any of you gurus have out there. I am not rooted or running anything custom. I've been fairly happy with stock. But, like I started with, I was all the while looking forward to this Lollypop update for portable recording via USB. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks.
Downloading as I type...I'm sure I am wasting my time since I been rocking BeanStalk 5.0.2, but my curiosity is making me just give it a look and see how it works. It'll be nice to use the S-Pen features again, but Lollipop without all the bs that samsung and tmo put on there has been nothing short of amazing.
Why have the note 4 when you can have PURE android just like you want with the new 6 inch moto. But whatever guess I will never understand why people will buy a car. Strip it off its goods (rims/system/under the hood upgrades) just to have a classic stripped stock vehicle? I mean already having the features why give then away? I will never understand

Assuming that you're talking about the Nexus 6/Moto X Pro, there's no need to debate/discuss why I would want TouchWiz on ANY level, which is why I was close to buying a Nexus 6. Honestly though, for me, while the Nexus 6/Moto X Pro isn't a bad phone(they're both really great phones), they lost me with no way to add extra storage or remove your battery if needed. In addition, while I have been running Beanstalk for the last few weeks, I still think the S-Pen is a really great feature to have on the Note 4. There's really no need to go into details about which phone is better, because it will always come down to preference, but in regards to your comment, it's not as stripped down as you present it to be.

Can I ask how you did that? I upgraded from BeanStalk to stock Lollipop via Kies, but I'm getting force closes on gapps services. Can barely use the phone they are coming in so frequently. What did you do to uninstall gapps and how did you get the correct version installed?

No attitude here, everyone is entitled to their opinions. I am certainly not hating on you for what you're saying and personally, in many(maybe most) aspects, those are flat out better phones than the Note 4. I just installed this bs lollipop so now as I type, I am flashing back to BeanStalk. The lack of a removable battery i could live with, but the expandable storage is a necessity for me, the only reason I am staying with the Note 4 since most phones that are coming out are converting to that style.

You do not need to install gapps on stock ROMs. They are included. Installing them as a zip will break them. So, factory reset (or fresh install), and don't flash gapps.

Hey. Thanks for the reply. I actually didn't install gapps over the stock ROM. Not sure what it didn't like installing over Beanstalk. I did a wipe before I installed via kies. Anyway, I resolved by doing a factory reset, like you said. Did two actually. All is well now, thanks.
Got my phone delivered yesterday. So far very impressed. No issues, except for one app issue. Greenify behaves wonky on this handset. When I go in to hibernate apps, it seems to stall during the hibernation process. It *looks* like instead of force stopping the app, it does something with moving the app to SD card. I say that because I can "see" it pressing the move to sd button, instead of the force stop button. It's weird. Anyone else notice this?
Did you ever figure this out, I didn't notice any issues with it. I just rooted mine today and plan on using the Greenify rooted. I'll let you know if I see a difference.

No. Never figured it out. I also posted on the Slickdeals thread and someone there confirmed the same thing. I just uninstalled it until someone finds a workaround. Honestly though, I'm not super worried about it. I'm getting between 5-6 hours of SOT without it.
