This guy is underrated. For the efforts he put in making these videos, he definitely deserves more appreciation. (Love from india)
I was going to say the same, but then I saw this comment besting me.
Sahi m bro...i subbed him 2yrs ago...n his content is way better than some 1M subbed CZcamsrs
@@rohansheikh8589 hau too good tbh, howtomen bhi.
Technobuz just copied the whole video with some voiceover.
@@Klick213 report that video?
Vanced doesn't need root to run. On non-root devices, Vanced can run with microG. Also, while home ad blocking is great, the experimental SponsorBlock API within Vanced allows you to skip certain segments automatically within videos, such as creators asking for subs, sponsored parts of videos, etc.
Been using it in non root devices for years
you can turn off the sponsor block in the settings
Pain. :(
Where do I download CZcams vanced
Sad that it got discontinued
"You're not gonna turn it off, are you?"😂😂
Sam's a Legend! 🤣🤣
Lol so true I don't fucking care 😂😂
He knows
Im using vanced for years, bought premium now just to try it out, but mainly for offline yt music. Will be back to vanced if i didnt have spare money tho 😂
@@luzibel289 quite careless
From an ex XDA senior member, this is an awesome list. Clearly have an interest and/or have done good research. Well beyond most other CZcamsrs and journalists. Good advice and explanations too.
I REALLY appreciate that your aspect ratio on this video is meant for bigger phones. Now i dont have to zoom in to fill up my entire screen. Thank you for that
I was just checking out your 2020 root vids and u just dropped this latest one, lucky me 🤩
Sam Beckman:
*(Explains yt vanced sponsor blocking feature)* Your not gonna turn it off are you?
Me: I'm sorry little one..
Titanium Backup sadly doesn't work that well on newer android versions. Sometimes it can't backup certain apps or restore backups as it used to in the KitKat era. I think the best alternative is the Migrate, which lets you backup almost your whole system into a zip file that you can flash back with the app.
you can backup but cant restore due to device id unless the apps didnt get the device id it will restore smoothly
I'm using XEU A11 Titanium still working 😁
Great video. Really interesting and kept me watching, mainly because of your presentation style, which is fantastic. I used to root my phone years ago, but found when fingerprint access bacame a thing that my banking and some shopping apps dont let fingerprint access work when rooted, so don't root anymore.
That battery charge limitation is definitely something I tried to find and though it didn't exist. Such a great thing. Other super nice thing is the battery charging pass through of the new ROG phone. Amazing...
I can imagine the work that you have put on this video and I cannot wait to see more to see what more I can learn. Thanks for your time and effort. I sub and like to support you and see more of this informative and good quality videos.
Amazing job as always. Every app was on point and included everything I would've recommend. I'm gonna share this video with everyone
I can already see this guy at the level of MKBHD and unbox therapy. Lucky to have found him early.
Thanks for the perfect aspect ratio you record with 👌 more creators need to use it lol
the only dude that made me watch videos about android phone while im an apple products user :))) .. well done mate.. you're doing your job so damn good! kudos
Love your confidence in the videos 😎 Thanks for the videos!
Please don't ever stop making these kinda videos!
Also whoever has CZcams Premium instead of Vanced is just burning money at this point! 😂
If you find Titanium backup to be hard to use, Swift backup is similar and much more streamlined. I've used it several times and it's great.
It's not, because it has 1 big problem. If you backup your phone and you install another rom you're not be able to restore your backups because swiftbackup backups can only be restored at the same rom. So if you reset your phone, it will work, but if you install the same rom again, because something crashed it, then you're not be able to restore your backups.
I came across this channel , great content and i don't know why but this guy seems like a nice person.
First thing, Sam you're an absolute treasure. Just the other day I was thinking about mentioning yt vanced then I thought, "no he'd never go for it since it would be in direct conflict with this monetization etc... Lo and behold 1 week later I see this video 😂 I would love to donate to your channel to show support. Anyway with that out of the way, I think being to turn a carrier only device to a global one would be an amazing root feature and it's why I'm considering rooting on my 8t
I've been waiting for this video, thank you!
CZcams Vanced is not root exclusive though, right? I can use it on my Huawei Mate 20 Pro
Yeah
I have it too, i know where you bought the root
Swift backup is worth a look as well. Often updated and really nice to use. Great video!
Indeed. While it's not so free, it's better than Titanium backup because it can handle split-APK files too (AKA app-bundle apps), as opposed to Titanium backup . Plus it has a nicer UI.
@@LiranBarsisa agreed. Ui is brilliant
@@Barnone_ If Titanium Backup would have handled those cases fine, I could still use it though. Sadly it hasn't gotten this important change and yet Swift Backup seems to get better while being on the nicer UI.
UI isn't everything for me, especially for such tools, but it's a nice thing to have when it doesn't affect other aspects. For example I still use Total Commander even though the UI is considered old.
you are brutally honest with yourself and your audience--------subbed, who's editing your videos btw cuz mkbhd and linus must be sweating right now.
This video is impressive. Thumbs up! I'm familiar with every app mentioned in the video and using almost all of them everyday (those particular apps are usefull as hell in our life !!!)and highly recommending them and also from now I'm subscribing to this guy, since he really knows cool stuff about android.
Hey! I use autoclickers for games, but after the latest android update the phone close every third part app as I open a game. Do you know a way around this? Any settings or apps that can help? Ty😀
@Repent to Jesus Christ Repent to Jesus Christ Dont know if this is gonna work for the autoclicker problem but im gonna try nevertheless
@@Thatonejapanesegoblin LMAO
@Repent to Jesus Christ Repent to Jesus Christ I will repent my sins to Joe mama
Because she can change a sinner
You can lock apps so they don't close in the background.
@@Thatonejapanesegoblin hahahahahahahahah du ehrenmann hahaha
True, fast charging diminishes a phone's battery life that's why when I am not in a hurry I charge mine using my laptop.
Wait fr? 😳
I love that you make 21:9 videos! I have a Xperia 1 ii so it's a perfect match :)
Great video, It will be useful in the future when my phone gets old and I finally decide to root it
Make a video on rooted customisation separately 😍🔥would appericiate it.
I agree! This would be amazing
That would be GREAT!
I'm rooting and slapping a custom rom on my pixel 4 xl when it reaches end life cycle. Honestly love this thing 👌🔥
It has quite a long update support though, no?
By the time it stops, maybe you will get a new smartphone already, no?
You can already root the device and use the official firmware, BTW. Just annoying to re-root after each manual update of it though.
I'm pretty sure rooting/unlocking the bootloader doesn't void the warranty for pixel devices. So I don't kniw why you waited until the end of it's life cycle?
@@RedPill420 You know how to read??? When did I said my P4 XL HAS reached end of life cycle????
@@mmorales508 Only thing I said was; that I don't understand why you're waiting until the end of it's life cycle when you could've done it the same day you got the phone. You're the only one who's lacking reading comprehension, bud.
@@RedPill420 You clearly said "waited until the end of its life cycle" First, P4 is still getting updates and second I meant that when it actually stops getting updates THEN I'll root to keep it for longer. Obviously I'll get a new phone as a daily but I like the P4 build quality so hence why I wanna hang on to it.
Your production quality is insane man keep going
Watching this on Vanced, but switching to normal CZcams just because you earned at least that much from me. Quality is just top notch.
M watching your video in youtube vanced.😂🙏👍
Me too 🤣
Yup
Whats that?
@@burutatung watch the video
@@dancho0012 too late bro i forgot what the fuck did you replied for!
First and please give us the wallpaper from the fold 2 Review
I already looked there how is it called
You're the only reason I use captions 😜. Amazing content though 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I don't know who this is but for some reason I'm just in love with the style of your video.
Subbed
Can't wait for this cuz I'm rooted and on a Custom ROM!
Custom roms r life savers. Damn i wonder what i would do without them.
Custom ROMs have came a long way since back then do some research on your phone now and try. stability reliable and hella more I'm on my OP6 and I can be with out root or ROMs
@@sgringo u don't need to root your device to flash custom roms.
And
Custom roms have came long way in development and stability.
M even using oxygen os port on my poco f1 and it's clean asf.
I always wanted OP6 but not anymore.
@@Horny_Brahmin corvus isn't better for u? Or nusantara.I am on havoc rom on my 8t and idk if i want to switch to crdroid rom again
@@hondurasen3632 tbh corvus was a big deal until their lead developer left that project. That's why they haven't made corvus based on android 11 for many devices.
And why u flashing custom roms on ur OP.
Bro Oxygen OS is so fucking good. I feel like it's way fucking better than any rom based on stock android.
I actually just switched from a Galaxy S10 to a Pixel 4XL "Google Edition", for 2 main reasons. 1) Bootloader unlockable -able to flash custom roms, kernels, recoveries - and 2) I love a really big high res screen without any of that notch BS. I have bricked this phone in one week more than I've brushed my teeth every day but nowadays there are actually mainline tools to repair or recover, and since it is an unlocked variant it is still modifiable after the fact. Lot of trial and error but I finally did it, and honestly... I used my OnePlus 5T as a guinea pig before I attempted my Pixel.
Edit: the WORST part of any unlockable phone is the warning every time it boots up. That thing is super annoying.
Just the video I was waiting for, would like more on this subject
Thanks again , another crackin' video ... I might just try it tomorrow 👍👍👍
10 reasons to root the phone:
1 reason to deny them all: my e-banking app won't work otherwise
What the hell are you talking about. Each and every banking app works after rooting.
You just need to use magiskhide
@@akashmohanty4585 well, my banking app openly states that it requires unrooted phone. My phone was once rooted, and the banking app simply won't work.
@@ikaros.mirai. will look into it, although I think that will cause many more hassle for me. Thanks for the info anyway.
You can use magiskhide to hide the root from your banking but i dont think its safe to use a rooted phone with custom roms and tons of modules with banking stuff
Another reason is you have full control of "your" phone. Rooting might seem intimidating at first because of the process but once you are comfortable doing it then it's amazing. :D
Can games detect if you have root and ban your account?
@@Pamven some games can, but you can easily fool them in the magisk manager by hiding it from them
@@bionicmanspeedruns how do I root my phone and use banking apps at the same time, google doesnt allow that
@@OmPrakash-pc1ec u need to spoof safetynet status
@@doznaka6715 and how do I do that
Just subscribed, keep up the good work ❤️❤️
Amazing job. Thank you for all you time effort and work
So, only reason probably most Indians stopped rooting is Payment Apps...Here, in India, we use a lot of Payment Apps which use a common architecure call UPI, these and other banking apps tend to not work after rooting, even if it does....inbetween it tends to break, like after updates.
True. I'm kinda looking towards managing a very budget phone for only payments and calls and keep my ROG 2 for social media, games and tweaking around with custom roms, rooting and stuff. It's kind of the only way to enjoy being rooted, UPI is too huge a factor to root my phone.
@@ravitheja715 true, thou I just want to use a phone with Adaway and all the good shit that root gives us with daily use apps like payment apps. When did Android get so locked in man!
If I root my device, for example, my Galaxy S10, will I still receive software updates by the manufacturer?
I know you can still download manually the updates through PC, but I just want to know.
no you won't. also some apps like samsung health and others will stop working.
😂
In mi or xiaomi phone u get a update after rooting not like samsung dead😬
why would you need updates anyways?
@@mnivvy umm... For security and up to date software?
You are underrated CZcamsr.But you make the most helpful video 😎
A couple of these things can now be done without root:
1. Vanced can be used without root, but rooted version seamlessly replaces the CZcams app which is great.
2. Blaotware can be removed with a simple ADB command and since you can now run ADB without a PC, you don't need to be rooted anymore which is awesome. I have a video on this actually _wink wink_ .
Dope video Sam! I wish I had the courage to root my Samsung because I bricked my Xiaomi doing that LMAO. Unlucky.
SD Maid App as someone already mentioned below!
Hello sam ,
I am using youtube vanced since some time but i did not root my phone but it still works . Well , when i downloaded the app it didn't say to root my device .
Yep...You can ...But the rooted version is more device friendly & battery efficient...+ you won't have to keep the official youtube which otherwise there will be 2 apps .. consuming more power
Very informative video! Please your lock screen looks like it's a Google Pixel phone, but I see you are using a OnePlus 8 Pro. Please what app did you use for this?
I'll definitely be using CZcams Vanced to skip ads before your videos... But not before donating to you directly for these amazing videos 💵🔥
I think you should also warn people that rooting your phone can cause banking apps to stop working. Most banking apps detect rooted devices and reject any sort of transaction.
Easily fixable through Magisk Hide though.
Would you please tell me how this works ( Magisk Hide) for banking app? Thank you
I'm a CZcams premium subscriber, but I'm still using the Vanced app (without root) just because of the real night mode.
So many Android phones have a locked bootload. It's a real gut wrencher when you find out your digital chum is un rootable. However, I must say that various companies will offer a free option to allow you to have an unlock code to use via fastboot etc. Just a shame that other companies don't. But you have done a super job of explaining the details and apk available. Thumbs up and keep up the great work. This is priceless knowledge to behold when people realise how powerful their phones become when unlocked and able to be free to tweak.
SkipSpotter a 101 ( well, remedial ) question- how do I discover if my digital chum ( love that!) has a locked bootload? Thank you.
Straight to the point, no bs, imma disable adblock and watch it again x)
There should be an option in Vanced which let's you enable ads only on certain allowed channels.
BTW great content as always!
from what i remember it was essentially hard coded into vanced by the vanced devs and would take awhile to create such a feature or even allow it to be disabled in general.
In my personal experience, rooting phones has been something that I’ve done more out of necessity rather than fun. Android manufacturers just have this absurd habit of not giving control to the buyer, us. Therefore we can’t tune our phones the way we want in detail. I am honestly one who plays with CPU and GPU frequencies. I don’t root solely for Android versions, as with root, you give up most of the security anyways. iPhones are even worse, but at least they operate in a very optimized ecosystem and a when you run games, they will actually give you all the performance they can as long as the temperatures allow it. Android scales frequencies in such a jerky manner (Save for ROG Phone, that is a godsend and an example of how all Android phones in depth controllers should be). More modern Android phones are becoming far harder and less rewarding to root. OnePlus and Xiaomi remain easy. But Samsung is getting harder and if you root, they disable your camera. Probably the most rewarding phone I’d ever suggest anybody to root though, it’s the N960F. That is the walking definition of why I root out of necessity. By rooting and installing a custom kernel on it (as long as you are on One UI 2.0), you can get performance so high as the Exynos 9820. Samsung messed up badly with the 9810, and refuses to fix their mistakes, so we have to do it ourselves.
How do u play with CPU ? I want to reduce the power because my Snapdragon 888+ overheats. Do I need to root my phone? And which app do I use to tweak the CPU
@@mustafashihab180 You need root. Then install a Kernel manager and lower CPU frequency.
@@TheRealNightShot Can i root Galaxy note 10 plus?
@@continentmediaLLC If it’s Exynos, yes.

Few more apps recommendations:
• *Swift backup* uses the same concept as titanium backup but more modern in UI design
• *SD Maid* , handy tool for cleaning storage also improve databases
• *Cellular-Pro* , used for band locking purposes, may not for everyone but this app is really good if you want to lock your band for better mobile signal
Hey, I use vanced and my phone isn't rooted! It works just fine. Infact I've heard rooted version performs worse in some case. :)
Hey man how did u dineliad vanced on ni
on rooted phone
@@ankithish look up youtube vanced download xda developers non root
I've tried the rooted version but it all reconfigures into the stock CZcams app. Having a separate application is better, but sometimes Vanced MicroG doesn't work.
@Ryan's Random Videos Is preventing that a thing on rooted versions? If so, I haven't really heard about it.
If you mean that using the non-rooted one gets CZcams to ban your comments, I'm certain it doesn't.
But if CZcams bans your comments (due to hate speech, etc.), then it's entirely on CZcams
@Ryan's Random Videos Huh, I guess it does make sense.
Haha nice one Sam! Might just get back to rooting devices in 2021 ;)
your videos are excellent! I love the root videos, I think that today few CZcamsrs still talk about root. but I still believe it has many advantages. do you know any method of backing up "bank application token keys"?
Man i stopped using youtube vanced just to watch ads and support my creator❤️
Had CZcams vanced
Used it for 1 day
Without ads it looked a little bit odd to me
uninstalled it
Now using CZcams stock application to see your video
Great video! Really want the reasons not to root video! I feel banking apps would be a big issue for me? Also, its odd, but How To Men released a video of dead apps today, and he said Titanium is dead?!
I'm wondering the same.
I was using my Pixel phone outside the supported countries, I came across this video and got the confidence to root my device without worrying too much. Glad I did because it helped my pixel speed up like anything because of many features started working only when I enabled the root
I swear I had all the modes you mentioned on my Xperia Z back in the day, before switching to an iPhone. Miss having the options, but learned to appreciate the benefits of Apple's ecosystem as well.
SD Maid - System Cleaning Tool and Naptime by Franco
Highly recommended
This. When I used it for the first time, I was shocked how much storage of my phone was taken away by stupid useless temporary files!
Yes. FKM is pretty sweet too, although I just use the battery stats from it.
Wow. I can't believe permission ruler isn't baked into every phone by default. It will be so helpful for privacy.
3C All in One Toolbox is also great for app management and phone tweaking. You could do a whole video on its features alone. It does have ads, but you won't see them if you already have Adaway running.
install the custom recovery and enjoy the world of custom roms :)
Stock OxygenOS > Any custom ROM

Hi
peniscopter
Great production value 🔥
Would've been great if you linked the rooting tutorials in the descriptions. But I'll look for it anyway.
Dude, That is helping me a lot
I love you man. Thinking about just getting the OnePlus 8 Pro and root that.
Appreciate you bro... Wish I had a few dozen gigs of some tech knowledge stored in your brain... I would live in a higher plain of existence, simpler while more complex. Hmu when you get hands on that technology 😜
Actually I used CZcams Vanced for a short period. Because I want to support the good channels by viewing ads. So I watch ads a lot of them🙂 Love my youtubers. And don't worry Sam i watch ads for you too🙂
Wavelet does a good job on tweaking Bluetooth headphone sound and available bass
your work and videos are amazing.
@Sam Beckman, would you do a video on Rooting Sony Xperia 1 iii/ii 5iii/ii phones? Please and thank you!
I love his choice of phone for rooting, i just recently unbricked my oneplus 8t and rooted it.. i had to get a laptop to get msm tool working correctly though but its surprisingly easy to do on windows 10 and i love that i can unbrick it so easily, i can see myself using this phone for a very long time.
i never really understood how to root!! hahahha but you just made it easy and explained it all on your video, but i gotta ask how do you maintain a rooted phone?
A youtuber sponsoring how to block ads and CZcams vanced is like an MMA fighter kneels in front of the opponent hoping he will not kick your face. 😅
I would prefer swift backup instead of titanium backup
Bcz titanium backup is so old and now outdated. Even sometimes it fails to restore its own backup.
In other hand swift backup has very good looking user friendly ui , working all the time .
It's easy to understand
You earned a like and a subscription just for featuring this topic
I saw on the HowToMen channel that Swift backup is a good replacement for Titanium Backup. Thoughts?
Clicked for that beautiful thumbnail. Stayed for the info and gorgeous visuals
Systemize (terminal) & debloat (terminal) are basically must haves. Also you mentioned bromite in another video, but the browser isn't the only thing to mention. "Bromite webview" by either nanodroid magisk module or webview switcher (by sndroidacy)
@Aryan Banyal it systemlessly removes it, which is safer than removing it. I don't ever suggest anyone edit their /system.
If you want to fully remove, that is your prerogative, I'm just not suggesting lol, understand.
2:50 what's your weather widget? Very clean home screen!
The battery charge limit thing seems kinda pointless since there are already limits implemented into your device, 100% charge doesn't actually mean the battery is at full capacity and 0% doesn't mean its empty either.
I was thinking about what you said about you rooting your Google Pixel 6 and I was wondering why you do it.Maybe for enabling Volte in your device?
Anyway to change the aspect ratio of your screen? For example id like my 6.3inch phone to be basically be 5.5inch
Why almost all rooted apps look like we are in 2010?
I've been a rooter since 2009 Motorola milestone. Titanium backup and CZcams vanced are amazing
But battery optimization in the latest versions of Android is pretty good. Starting from Android version 6.0 the doze feature still works great. Meybe it might very on different devices. Sure, that can be the reason for rooting. I've used more than one phone with doze (app optimization) so far, the Nexus 6P is only phone that works great with android's battery optimization feature.
You are legend ... telling the truth...alot of respect
U should have mentioned migrate , its coming up nice as a backup tool for rooted phones
