  7. The only option I have (other than disabled) is ‘ADB only’.
    Not sure what that means but none of my apps have root access, I still have no Super User, and my CWM recovery vanished and left me with only the stock Samsung recovery when I installed CM so I’m unable to update CM or do anything really.
