I have decided to root my Note 4 after seeing all these huge permissions lists for just about every app (I understand something like a flashlight app needing your camera or a speed checker needing Wifi but why stuff like contacts, browsing history, bookmarks, IMEI number...) Coming from iPhone it was really shocking considering you have the option to on&off those permissions when opening the app or in settings, but this is just take it all or leave it. Other than XPrivacy and maybe adblock i have no interest in doing anything else with root.
So what I would like to know is if anyone have any advice. I am a complete N00B at android and since this is a new and expensive device I am obviously very cautious. My previous phone was jailbroken but this seems like an entirely different thing.
There was not much info about rooting Note 4 5.1.1 except for these 2 links but I am not sure how reliable they are or how to judge them as they are not a lot of comments, maybe someone more experienced than me can tell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpsGX_Xoxcg https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxynote4..._511_xxu1coh4/
I am using mac so it says it need to get Jodin3, but the download link seems to be offline http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2598203 http://goo.im/devs/AdamOutler/JOdin3
It seems that 5.1.1 is kind of new so is it worth waiting a bit and seeing or do the links above seem reliable.
Also I understand this void the warranty with Knox and everything but what about insurance.
Sorry if this question seems really dumb, like i said i am a complete N00B.
Also sorry if I posted this in the the wrong thread, new to this forum also.
