Looking for Tab S2 Questions - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I recently purchased a 2nd-hand Tab S2 9.7 with a 24 month third-party warranty. They've told me rooting the tablet will void their warranty, I know they legally can't void the warranty because of this.
Is there a noticeable performance gain to be had with rooting + installing a custom ROM?
If I don't root, are there any suggestions on how to improve performance (bloat to remove, etc.)?

No. But you can remove system apps and tweak more.
Install Package Disabler Pro so you can disable system apps.

Note 5 One Click Root

Hi guys,
I have some experience with rioting Samsung devices and othet devices as well, however recently sported on the page claiming the one click root for Note 5.
Currently I own this device and wanted to uninstall lots of bloatware pre-installed in Note 5, therefore decided to root my device.
I need advice from you whether this one click root will work or is it just a virus or something like that?
Unfortunately I am unable to poste the link, bu if you google it, it will appear ons top
There is no "one click root" for any of the newer Samsung flagship devices. Also, uninstalling bloatware won't get you anything more than just disabling it.
I have used Disabler pro, which does not require rooting, but after disabling software, they still run in the background and use RAM.
That is why I need to uninstall them.
Is there any efficcient way to root Note 5, Without installing Custom kernel??
something is wrong if a disabled app can still be ran. usually, you can't even open a disabled app, your self.

I don't believe you need to root it for that.

BK Disabler has a section called Bloat, anything in there should be safe to disable as long as you don't use it. There is a thread here telling what others have disabled, just be careful because if you disable one thing another app may need it to work.

Substratum and layers also work on the Note 8, unrooted.

Android SpyTool S8?

Hello,
I need to spy on my sons phone, bare in mind that i am legally fully able to do this, so please don't bash this thread. What i need is software/apk recommendation from you guys on what software is the best. He is tech savvy (but i am rooting and installing custom software on his device) so the software has to support the following:
1. Must be completely hidden
2. Must not be detected by google malware scanner
3. Monitoring that are vast eg. instant messanger apps etc...
4. Root mode and hidden or as system app.
I am experienced android super user so my plan is to root the new phone, replace factory recovery with kernel image to prevent the phone from being factory reset, install the app on it. I seen few apps but most of them need you to deactivate android security scanner, but the problem is that device is clean so he will put his google account, therefore i cannot deactivate it. So i must get the app installer in root mode as system.
You can try spyhuman.com. I used to have it on my kid's phone when it was free and still use it every now and then, but its $10 per month per phone. You install it on the phone directly and it hides itself

[Q] Is Galaxy Watch 3 working fully with rooted (Magisk) Galaxy phones?

I got a rooted (including eDxposed) Galaxy Note 10 Plus (N975F) and planning to buy the GW3 from the USA.
So far I am able to make the phone pass safetynet, work with Gpay. Samsung Health works thanks to the modified apk from xda.
Samsung pay doesn't work on the phone.
As my phones is rooted - Will I be able to use Samsung Pay on the watch? What about ECG, BP and other fitness measurements?
P.S. To the mods - I am not sure if this is the right forum for this question. I wasn't able to find any other GW3 Q&A forum. Please kindly move it to the right forum if this is not it. Thanks.
I have also a rooted phone and wonder if Samsung Pay, ECG, BP and other fitness measurements can be used or not with a rooted phone
I have the same problem, any solution? I was able to have the health monitor app in the watch, but I can't use it as the phone app says my galaxy is rooted.
This may be slightly irrelevant to you, but I'll share my experience. I have the Galaxy Watch 3 paired to a OnePlus 7 Pro, rooted with Magisk, passing safetyNet.
ECG is not working for me (not available in my region).
Samsung Pay is not working for me. I tested with friends' Samsung phones and they don't have Samsung Pay either (therefore not available in my region so I can't test).
I've read on the forums that ECG is not working with rooted Samsung phones. Rooting a Samsung (or unlocking the bootloader, generally) trips KNOX. If you have KNOX tripped, people reported ECG not working and Samsung Pay getting disabled as well. This happened in THE UNITED STATES where ECG and Samsung Pay are usually working.
Don't take my word for it though, read it for yourself

I have one plus 7 pro with magisk and galaxy watch 3 too... I can use galaxy watch 3 as well, no problem. but when I try to use samsung health monıtor app (installed as apk seperately) it says ''samsung healt monıtor does not work with rooted phone''. safety net passed, magisk hide is on and magisk manager packed with different name. no luck
If you have knox tripped phone:
1) rooted :
- samsung pay (watch) not working
- shealth working (including sync!!!) when ro.config.tima fixed using magisk and magisk configbuild module
- samsung health monitor not working
- btw gpay working using sqlfix magisk module
2) unrooted/official/relocked bootloader:
- samsung pay (watch) working
- shealth working partialy (no sync), to use latest version find xpirt patched version, install it, open, agree to terms...then download latest apk on apkpure, install SAI from google store, settings -> sign apks.. install/update using latest apk using SAI.. now you have latest shealth with no online sync working (so forget 3rd party integrations.. google fit, xiomi scale...)
-health monitor working, but doesnt sync with shealth
Search xda for details if confused..

Samsung pay watch depends on samsung pay on phone, so if the phone isn't working, you can't use it...
S Health works fine since it's tima in build.prop set from 1 to 0...
However, the BP and ECG in Samsung health monitor, you can grab my modified apk and it will work, the app is guarded against root, not just tima in build.prop, but root apps, busybox, xposed and su commands...
Hope that helps...
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Rooted with Galaxy Watch 3...
@Dante63
Thank you.
I already have the watch.
Samsung pay actually works just fine through the watch, although the Spay on the phone doesn't work due to tripped knox.
I tried your modified SHM on the Samsung phone, but it seems to not only check for root, but on Samsung phone it also checks for Knox and then exits with the error that the phone has been modified.
Is there anything you can do to fix it so that it will also skip knox check?
Thanks again

SPay works?
EDIT: Yes it does, good catch... thanks for the info...
As for SHM, then i might have not seen tima and it actually checks build.prop... did you change your build.prop, set tima from 1 to 0 and reboot...? Does your Samsung Health work..?
Yes, I changed build.prop and SH works, but SHM doesn't. Can you fix this?

Just to be sure, you grabbed the files from my google drive...?
If you grabbed the Carabana Mod from androidfilehost, that has root detection...
OK, what's the link and which file should I grab?
@Dante63
Just wanted to thank you for modifying the file and removing the root detection.
I downloaded it from your drive and it works perfectly!

I know it's off-topic, but is it possible to remove root/knox detection from Samsung pay app as well? (the one for the phone, not for the watch)

Samsung pay and any banking apps are heavily guarded against tempering and modifications, so it's not possible...

Yes, and still we can get safety-net to pass with the new safetynet-fix magisk module, hide magisk from other apps (including all my banking apps) and able to use them and google pay without a problem now, except for Samsung Pay app. What makes this app so special compared to the other apps I mentioned?

Samsung Pay rely on several Samsung services and framework apks which are also guarded against tampering and have root detection which is not the safety net...
Root detection comes in forms of apps installed, as you can see from Samsung Health monitor, it also would attempt to look for busybox and attempt to call "su" which is Linux command to get root access and try mounting partitions which all on success would trigger flag rooted...
So Samsung pay has additional protections aside the Samsung Health Monitor ways, it is also guarded like all banking apps with encoded strings, in other words, things you don't know what they stand for and the apps names get encoded to be compared with the provided...
Also, as long in download mode it shows custom and not official, Samsung pay won't work, it is not linked to the knox trip since official Samsung ROM works fine with everything despite the device was rooted before, knox now is mainly for voiding warranty...
I'm not much of an expert in this so some of what I said about know and Samsung pay may not be accurate...
The only things I'm sure about is how strongly they are secure against tampering and detection of root in different forms which even by having a folder named "magisk" on the internal memory believe it or not...
Thanks for the thorough and modest answer.
I personally want to believe that nothing is impossible, I guess it's only a matter of time until this will also get hacked.
The only question is - who will really want to use a hacked samsung pay app when it may contain some malwares or god knows what...

I'd rather not use modified apps related to banks and cards or anything sensitive... there is a reason why they tightened the security on them but SMH or apps that have no important info, well I don't mind if my BP or ECG is leaked lol...
