Backing up with your Google account for apps sucks. If the settings are causing wakelocks it will transfer to your new device/install which means you can have issues follow you.

I've always wondered how iPhone backups are so perfect considering stuff like this. One would think a factory reset and restore with an iPhone is just a guarantee your bringing the same issue back you tried to fix.
I like Motorola's Active Display notification system and it seems both Samsung and LG copied it with their own versions of Always On display.

Samsung has had the Smart Alert feature since the Galaxy S II and that's just an iteration on that feature.

Verizon actually released MM 6.0.1 for Note 4. I'm genuinely shocked.

RGB OLED will be a BIG thing for text.
As good as S7e 2K OLED is, the lack of RGB makes text looks no better than even my old 1080p Z2 IPS screen.
Even LG OLED 4K TV dont look as sharp as 4K LCD screen....
Fast wireless charging + water resistance is pretty great combo for my S7e.
Plugging dangling wires is so last gen

In case anyone still has one the OP2 Marshmallow source dropped and Official CM13 is a go
A little late but at least people can jump to CM now

Most of it, yes.
You can deactivate all the carrier apps, which appears like deleting them. This can be done out of the box.

I haven't rooted in years, thanks to a work policy regarding our email software. I don't miss it, my phone does what it needs (short of easy 100% backups, which I only need when I switch phones).

Whenever Android N comes out, I probably won't root.

Yeah, since Galaxy S3 I never rooted my Android phones either. I have file management, good sync options, most (if not all) useful features, and, just like said above, you can even disable bloat softwares, even though they will still take a minor portion of your storage. I think the way stock Android works today is pretty awesome.

I rooted one time a long ass time ago. Seems pointless to me.

Rooting is for nerds with too much time on their hands.
My nexus 6 has been rooted since the day I got it. I'm running the Pure Nexus ROM and a custom kernel. Really missed all the niceties when I ran the N beta.
I get much better performance, control and battery life (nothing like getting 6 hours SoT without having to disable anything) with the custom ROM+kernel. Plus nowadays with stuff like TWRP rooting and flashing is so easy and quick.

My IT guy at work used to root for no reason but got tired of the complications with it.
Then he told himself android requires too much tinkering and switched to an iPhone because it just works.

That IT guy has some crazy ideas. lol
Hear this story a lot. It's not unusual.
I don't root. I install custom recovery (which does not require root) to put CM since Samsung stopped updating the phone.
One reason why I held off on a new phone.
The other IT story is buying Nexus phones only because of driver support.

Only phone I ever rooted was my Fire Phone to stick CM11 on it and I ended up going back to Fire OS because it was too buggy.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Ha, so dumb. I know why I used to tinker with my Android phone back in the day. Battery life was a constant struggle and functions were more limited. But today? Nah.
I've not done it myself. Not felt the need. Maybe it would be different if I was buying locked/skinned phones.

Rooting like no time at all if you follow directions carefully and it's necessary for some apps that people may want to use all the time.

I mean, yeah. We said initally that it's just a plastic more comfortable version of Cardboard. The original one without the button.

Didn't try it on yet. I did test to see if my Nexus 5 fits in the slot and it did.
