Hi Guys,
I've got my SM-920F and I have the very same dilemma like when I got my S5 - to root or not to root :)
And back then I made a decision to not root it, because I was very satisfied with it's stock rom, didn't want to trip knox and wanted to use OTA (convinience).
It was all fine until my phone has been stolen.
So now I am wondering how to protect myself from not getting my phone back in case of theft.
A scenario I have in my mind goes like this:
Someone steals my phone. Screen is locked (fingerprint/pattern, doesn't matter).
What the thief does at first is a factory reset. Then it will use a phone or sell it to someone else.
The outcome is that the phone will be most likely connected to the internet. (unless it will be torn into pieces ;) )
Now, if I had placed a tracking app on a partition, which will not be cleared by HR, it will send me phone location.
Questions:
1. If I get root not tripping knox, place my app, and then loose the root, app should be just fine, right?
1.1 If I will not trip knox getting root on stock, is there any possibility to trip the counter, when making changes in the system?
2. Update. No root == OTA working. Can OTA delete/disable my app? (out of scope: compability of the app with OS)
3. Do you know any suitable app for that?
