QUOTE(shchiam1978 @ Apr 19 2016, 02:07 PM) I guess at the end i might root my phone. Aside from the ads, i can use TB to freeze those bloats as well. By the way, do you use screen off app? after the new update, whenever i lock the phone by using the app, it will redirect me to the pin or pattern unless if i lock the phone using power button then i can use fingerprint. Use Good Lock by Samsung. You 3rd party lock and fingerprint will work again.

QUOTE(wilsonyong8850 @ Apr 19 2016, 02:42 PM) I'm using adblocker for Samsung which can be found in playstore. After install, go to your stock browser and activate it. The adblocker are more for blocking the ads from browser and this doesn't apply to other apps such as Zedge, wallpaper downloader and etc.

the only real ad blocker for non root is adguard. fullstop. hint: use luckypatcher custom patch for adguard (not dowan support dev but cant afford subscription. im ok with one off paid app)
only adguard has adv features (https,black/whitelisting, etc) others are crap.
adblocker plugin for samsung browser is another lame plugin. crystal is clone (forked) of Adblock Plus.
adguard will handle ur ads nightmare.

QUOTE(shchiam1978 @ Apr 19 2016, 02:04 PM) Not sure on the games as i don't play games in my s7E. But for movies and Zedge, it completely blocked it. The key icon, i don't see any option to remove it. I also try and it do block the entire Zedge and also that key icon at status bar is much more annoying to me. Uninstall. Haha!

Yes VPN. other some OEM doesnt have permanent ongoing notification for network monitoring status. we can disable adguard notification itself to avoid duplicate status. just need disable batt optimization for it.

Just try the Good Lock. It is nice but too bad I think it not fully support dual sim. My signal bar always empty. Uninstall for now.

The revamp UI is unique. is about time samsung ditch Touchwiz? To be honest, TW is pretty good now, fast n smooth. Just lack options and functions to further customize your home screen. Come on gimme icon editing Samsung. We know it can be done cos we did it with root before. Goodlock is just the systemui and lock screen so don't think it will be replacing TW. Maybe just an additional app for it. The drop down notification UI actually just look like stock android. Nothing really special for me cos i see it all the time on my oneplus one previously. Also even using the latest version of good lock the signal status will go blank suka-suka so i also uninstalled oledi. LOL This post has been edited by antt00: Apr 19 2016, 04:20 PM
