Talking about custom roms
Does anyone know a nice custom rom for LG L45?
i found some but i think they are scams

you can all you need is an unlocked bootloader
I never took the knox update on my s3

International models don't have a locked bootloader as far as Samsung is concerned. I heard the US-exclusive variants have it tho.

On some builds knox interferes with root and locks SE to Enforcing

Actually, it doesn't matter. My Tab S has Knox, and.... The issue with SE wasn't Knox. The kernel simply doesn't allow it. Installing a modified kernel made it possible to change. And what interferes is the application part of Knox which can easily be removed anyway.

So another problem
I wiped the 2 caches, and installed golden nova cm11.
Now it stuck on a blinking screen whivh says "android" for over 30 minutes. Did I fuck up something?
Edit: tried pulling out the battery and reboot, but stuck again on the same screen. I´m able to boot into cw recovery though if that helps

Did you wipe the data partition (i.e. wipe all user data (except maybe the 'internal storage' folder))?

Anyone who cares about stock firmware where it can cause issues e.g. disabling certain features, annoying messages, etc.

Why care about stock? You may need to remove root for x reason (e.g. Sky Go), use the mhl adapter, etc.

I'd suggest checking out xda-developers.

Actually, one can easily bypass those annoyances while keeping stock firmware. I know so, I used to do in on my Samsung phones. Nexus master race now though

Why would you want to install it onto such a weak device like that? Can it even handle the game?

Interesting! I Was planning to get an old Xperia that don't have support anymore.
So It's mean I could update too, if I really get this phone?

The methods i heard involved removing/ disabling them which could still be a problem, ymmv.

How is it a problem at all?

Depends on the model. Widely known models are most likely to be supported by the community.

You might want the features e.g. Samsung Pay? You might want to sell the phone? Etc.

Uh, those are very minor features imho, and you can sell knox-tripped devices.... I've done it before. Most people don't care for Samsung Pay anyway.

I just gave some examples of where problems COULD occur, as I said before YMMV.
