The only part of your list I can relate to is adaway.
I used to ROM my Samsung phones to debloat and get better performance.
The Maxx just plain works as is.
Now the WiFi tethering root would allow would be nice.
I have rooted for a while now, and I am not missing it as much as I used to. All that flashing was out of control... Especially because the builds were sort of sketchy on my Razr M. Just not enough Dev support for the phones I seem to like. The Maxx works quite well as it is, and now I am impatiently waiting for Lollipop. I still flash builds on my Razr M once and a while.. Now that I have Maxx, the builds have gotten better.
I feel the pain, had an unlocked bootloader on my Maxx until I had to send the phone back in for warranty work. Now I'm stuck with locked 4.4.4. *sigh* I have a Moto X Developer Edition on the way so I can play.
At lease I am not alone lol. I do like flashing ROM. I usually stay wit the ones that is more stable. I play games on my fone so the more space I can make the better I feel haven't seen lollipop so hopefully I get it due to I have my maxx on metro pcs working perfect 4g LTE

Yea, I am in the same boat. Got the Maxx as a gift and came with 4.4.4.
IThe thing I am missing the most is all the customizations you can do with xposed.

You can block bloat via ADB shell commands look up in Verizon Note4 forum I blocked so many apps even vzw bloat.
You can?

Let me know how it goes I know it works just fine on my Note4 but you could pretty much do it on every phone as long as you can turn on usb debugging...

Thanks man. Now I can disable stubborn apps altogether.
I heard not all model have shatterproof screen, which model have it?
Also, which one could unlock bootloader at this moment? Anyone could provide some detail please?
Double click on the model, right click, search... gave answer that 1581 and 1580 are Moto X Force, 1585 is Turbo 2. All Moto X Forces have unlockable bootloader. All models have shatterproof screen.

hey, I'm contemplating of buying XT1580 or XT1581. The asian version is cheaper with 2 sim support. any reason why should i go for EMEA XT1580 anyway? Is experience with OS the same or chinese have some bloatware installed? pls share your experience with chinese phone. Thank you.

The Chinese XT1580 has no Google apps at all (Play Store, gMail, etc). You will need to unlock the bootloader to revise the OS to one that has them installed. (I'm pretty sure you can't just side-load the core Google Apps)
That said, I have a Chinese XT1580 with appended Google apps, and although it's stuck at Android 5.11, it works fine with dual-SIMs, and all current apps. It even passes Google SafetyNet with TWRP installed and the bootloader unlocked.
your device is not qualify for bootloader unlock

Any one find the unlock method of this device let me know?

There isn't, there won't be. You have the wrong Kinzie.
If this is important to you, you have to research before you buy your phone.
Seems like there are several versions of the LG STYLO 2 ... The one I'm wondering about is the STYLO 2 V (verizon?) Its model LG VS835
Is there a ROOT method?
MANY THANKS.
I've been wondering same . I just got phone last week. From what I can tell this is a new version of this Phone and it has different soc / cpu then the previous models so it may take a while before is rooted.
There is forum for the stylo, there seem to be several variants listed but I did not see this one.
I'll need to check the stylo forum. I must have missed it.
The model I have has the MediaTek chip... Not the snapdragon chip.

Yeah, the Verizon model has the MT6755M chip from mediatek instead of a snapdragon. Maybe someone has a root method for it that can work on this phone, but I haven't found anything yet.

It looks likes this cpu / chip has been rooted in other devices. Hopefully someone will root this device, one click root would be nice.
I got this phone for my daughter in law for Christmas. Seemed like a great phone for the price... She'll be using it on tmobile GSM. But I never gave any thought to it not being able to be rooted. Having root had been a given. I guess that's what I get for "assume"ing
Maybe root will come before Santa does.

There is usually not much activity unless it is a very popular device. And this stylo has a mediatek chip instead of a snapdragon like all of the other stylos. Plus, it's a verizon phone... I do hope that someone will take an interest in it and root it, but it may take a while.
Oh well... I guess if another deal on a more popular phone doesn't pop up before Christmas, she'll have to be happy with no root. I will monitor this thread in hopes for root. Thanks everyone

Just wondering if anyone happens to know if a root method has been found for the Verizon stylo 2 V? LG VS835 device?
Thanks!
Sent from my Samsung Note 6
Just popping in to see if anyone found root? I didn't have any luck on my Google search.
I can add that I've tried King root and king-o-root and neither one will root the vs835. I tried a few from a Google search of apps that are "supposed" root almost any phone, but none would root the vs835. Hopefully someone smarter than me will find a way.
I will also add, there is a app on the play store called ad guard that helps remove ads while browsing - no root required. There is also a other app here on xda call ad cleaner, again no root required but removes ads (though I had better luck with ad guard - but ad cleaner may have needed a little personal attention to settings that I didn't give it?)
Cmon root!? Where are you?

Question for those with a lg vs835 stylo 2. My DIL is using a 16gb version, with a 32gb external sdcard for pics and videos.
She is filling up the internal 16gb with just a very few apps... Can anyone suggest ways to improve life with 16gb internal storage? There is lots of Verizon bloatware on there taking up space, but without root can't remove that...
Need a little advice. Thanks.
Sent from my Samsung Note 6 ?
Just a bump.... I've never found anything that can root this model. I guess this was the least popular model of the stylo 2 line? Shame really, it's a decent phone for the price but with absolutely zero support that I've found? If there are any support threads here on xda I have not found them.

Right so I've been looking around for a while now and there are barely any results on the forums I visit about the Trek 2 HD. Is there a way to root it?
These are made by ZTE, model K88. Seems like they made a K88 variant for AT&T to brand.

i just ordered a trek 2 today for $60, looking forward to checking it out. since it's an att device, i don't have much hope for an unlocked bootloader. any try kingroot or any of the others yet?

Hi I was just wondering if someone has the update build K88V1.0.0B28, my tablet has K88V1.0.0B09 and will not update over the air, I got this tablet on ebay.
Thanks
Has anyone been able to find Windows drivers for this tablet? I'm trying to use the debloater tool & I cannot get it work. I believe it's because Windows cannot find drivers. I'm using Windows 7.

I've looked everywhere online and couldn't find anyway yet. I even tried emailing ZTE just in case they would help.
I'd settle for parts...
heck, has anyone been able to even locate parts for these things? A lot have hit the market third party in the last month or so. I would assume that those can't be handled under AT&T warranty even though the model was only released last fall. But the only parts I can find appear to be from people who have done tear downs and are parting out other tablets. Trying to find a replacement touch screen seems to be just shy of impossible. either that or my Google Fu is just off today. I found one online store that seems to have every part except the touch screens. And trying to search for parts for the k88 and not get search results for the 9020a is a bit of a chore.
I'm at least happy it's immediately unlockable. $60 from the third-party seller plus a FreedomPop SIM card makes this a pretty decent cheap tablet. Assuming the Screen Works that is

I following the instruction on how to root the ZTE Maven and it did not work. I figured it wouldn't but tried anyways. The ZTE Maven is a completely different device altogether. I tried rooting the device both the normal way and in FTM (Factory Test Mode) and got no results. I tied with both King root and SRSoot. SRSroot even posted on their twitter account somewhere that they rooted the K88 but that's a bunch of b.s. or it's a different K88... Anyways I tried and failed, I hold my head low in defeat and shame... lol
A seller on ebay has sold thousands of these lately. Hopefully only a matter of time till a root and possible ROMS come along where we can use them as standard phones on any network.. I bought 2 of them at 55.00

? There is no same in trying though.
I really really want to root this tablet. It has great potential and the stereo speakers awesome. I want to be able to get rid of all the bloatware and maybe use a messenger with it. I'll keep searching maybe I'll get lucky one of these days. Has anyone unlocked the bootloader?
Anyone find a way to root this yet?
Note: When I click the Phone app, a screen for AT&T Numbersync comes up. If I click OK, a logon for My AT&T comes up. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there anyway to get the phone app with dial pad to open instead? Thanks
Chiming in to help make it known that people want to be able to root this tablet.
First off, I just want to say it's a woman's cave too. It's just that the 'turn of the phrase' was sounding so nice that I just had to go with it.

What am I talking about...
Amazon is selling our beloved device now with there assistant, Alexa baked into it.
.
What are we getting into ? I'm thinking about Amazon Fire Tablets where the tablet ( system ) is locked up like crazy. Are we going to be having a cell phone here now that's locked up like crazy to go along with the fire devices ? Hi Jeff.
.
I did now see that @bkrickles asked this very question in the 'whose getting it' thread.
I think there just advertising the fact you can use alexa as the assistant app

Mine purchased from OnePlus directly has alexa hands-free installed in the pull-down icons. just tried it and it works. After the very latest update, it disappeared, but i had re-rooted with wrong magesk patche, but after using the right one, its back.
I wonder if OnePlus needed more units for their last sale, so they grabbed everything (Amazon had no inventory). Oh well.....

I used 10.5.5 first after it updated before I rooted
Same day, 10.5.6 update showed up. Did not have to unroot first,but it unrooted in the process. Fastbooted the patched 10.5.6 magisk and back in business.
