Go into settings/applications / manage applications. Then scroll down to the superuser app and force close then clear data. Then go to the app in your app drawer and restart the app. Then go into the settings of the superuser app and scroll down to notification type and choose regular / normal notification instead of toast notification. Then try your apps that require su you should be good to go. Let me know if this works.

Kifno did you try reflashing your rom again you shouldn't loose any settings or apps.Also you could try uninstalling superuser and reinstalling it,or don't know which recovery you are using but you could try fix permissions.

Also don't update the binarys a couple roms have that problem when u flash a new rom go to the market first thing and make sure su isn't automatically updated if so stop it I had to do that coming from cm6.1 to asop9.9.2

I did a complete wipe of every thing and re flashed my rom and this time I used the apps2sd that was built into the rom instead of flashing the new one on that one thread lol.....flashing newer apps 2 sd was the problem lol

[Q] Root Explorer Help Needed

Long time lerker, first time poster. I have been active on AndroidCentral, but need help from the experts in XDA.
I am running Nookie Froyo off the card. Everything is running great except the google market is absolutely TERRIBLE. It is missing tons of apps. Therefore, I was going through the directions posted in the forum...i.e. change the build.prop file
I can open Root Explorer, then can open /system; but then I can NOT mount as rw. When I hit Mount as rw the button lights up but will NOT switch it to rw. Therefore, I can not rewrite the needed file. Any help? Ideas?
Any other options to get Market to show more apps?

Does Root Explorer have Superuser permissions? If so you might try wiping data with Titanium BU or uninstalling and reinstalling RE.

No luck with wiping data. Any other ideas?
Are other apps, like SoftKeys, getting superuser permissions?

If I remember right, superuser is linked to busybox. Try going to Titanium BU and choose problems tab. Update busybox and see if that makes any difference. Grasping for straws here.

I assume you have tried rebooting. Other things maybe to try; run the fix permissions utility in Rom Manager (some have had new issues after this, most don't); Get the new market apk on the "themes and apps" forum if you don't have one and try to install it with root explorer from your download after a short press. Is your 2.1 stock or rooted? If rooted, pull your nookie card and try to update from 2.1. If none of those work, I would not have any other ideas. Good luck.
Had the same problem a while back. Installed busybox from the market and it seemed to fix Root Explorer. Maybe using Titanium Backup to get busybox isn't working. I'd try getting busybox straight from the market...

Since you are uninstalling default stock apps, anyway your warranty is going to void. Then why not install custom rom which doesn't have any of these bloatwares.
You could find one in development section.
ANDRO-ID v3.3 RC2 is the stable custom rom release till now.
If you want to remove only few specific apps and retain others which are absent in current Andro-id release then wait for few days, I will post a "how-to-build custom rom from stock " soon. Then you can remove any apps that you want add any apps / ui launcher as default system launcher.

Use titanium backup to selectively restore apps data that you want. but it would be better to have complete wipe before installing custom rom.

no no no a little bit wrong here ... chage it to r/w i.e read and write so you can edit the files mere being on r/o means u r in read only mode and here u cant delete
We can also do an adb and remove the apps from /system/data by using the command prompt in the system or Terminal in the phone?
I haven't tried it in my device yet. But I think this shud work.

Titianum Backup/ ROM Manager/Toolbox Probs

Whenever I try and backup my apps via T.B. it always gets stuck during the process. Yes i have USB Debugging enabled..Unknown Sources checked..and I am fully rooted. Also, whenever i try and fix permissions via ROM manager or ROM Toolbox..it also gets stuck during the process. Any ideas??
Try to fix permissions through cwm recovery
Delete cash and dalvik not data from cwm recovery
Delete cash of titanium and other apps from setting/apps
Make sure their is a space from apps to be backup
Try to install supersu (not superuser) from market and give titanium and others permissons in it

I have SuperSUPRO installed and updated...and I have wiped caches and permissions via cwm recovery. But still t.b. still freezes during a backup...the furthest i've gotten is 38%..and i have plenty of space avail
I have the same exact issue. I think we need to talk to the T.B. dev to look into the issue
Same problem here. Tried all the solutions mentioned above but didn't work. I also encounter the same issue with Link2SD and Root Explorer.
thank god I thought I was the only one..yay I'm not crazy

LogCat
Guys,
Can you attach a logcat while is trying to do a backup with Titanium?
I'm working with support on the issue, and the more logs we have from different devices, the easier it will be for them to figure out where the problem is and how to fix it
Thanks

I had this issue with tibu, not sure on a fix for the others. Get this app from market (above link). Update busybox and sqlite and then go into tibu/preferences. At the very bottom, go twoubleshooting and choose to force system busybox and sqlite. Restart app. See if that works.

rooted. now what? how to remove bloatware?

Hi,
I have the lg optimus l90.
I used the towelroot app to root the phone. i used a terminal app to verify that i do have root. when the app opened, it displayed a $ sign but when i typed "su" and pressed enter it gave me a "#" prompt. so am i rooted?
also i was told to install the superSU app. why do i need this? can't i just uninstall the bloatware right now since i am rooted?
I installed the superSU app but it was not able to install the su binary because i did not reboot the phone after using towelroot. I uninstalled the SuperSU app. anyhow, what do I need to do now to remove those bloatware apps. there is no option to uninstall in the apps section of the android settings application.
finally, I read somewhere that i should use nobloat app to uninstall the bloatware but it is not uninstalling the bloatware. I uninstalled it.
so what do I do now?
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks.
Superuser is needed for apps to have root rights to your phone. Install superuser. Reboot phone and open app. Reboot again if needed. Rooting is useless without superuser installed

Along with root and SuperSU, you will also need a root App manager or root file manager. I personally prefer to use ES File Explorer as it is both an application manager ( user and system ) as well as an awesome file manager.
There is no list of acceptable system apps to remove. So be very careful as to what you uninstall or you may endup with a soft bricked phone or one that spazzes out whenever it feels like it. I would recommend making backups of any app you want to remove before uninstalling it. At least you might be able to restore them if something goes wrong.

thank you both for the replies.
so what exactly is SuperSU for? when I opened it up I saw nothing in the apps list and I did not see anything else in the other lists within the app. also, I did not restart the phone before trying to update the su files and when I did restart the phone nothing updated. So, do I use something like ES file explorer to remove bloatware?
by the way, when I tried to surf the web after installing superSU app, the web browser was extremely slow. the webpages loaded very slowly but when after I uninstalled the superSU app, it was loading the pages fast again as normal. what's up with that?
thanks.

SuperSU is a binary executable that grants or denies superuser requests. Without it root is worthless.
You won't see anything in SuperSU permission list until an app asks for superuser permissions. When first opening the SuperSU app you should get prompted to update/install the su binary. Allow that action to happen.

That's because the su binary was never updated.

so in order to run something like the nobloat app I need to grant it permission to be a superuser? I never had to do anything like that when I ran the nobloat app and It actually worked. It still does not make sense to me what supersu is used for.
That's because the su binary was never updated.

I ran the towelroot app and it was successful. However, I did not reboot the phone before attempting to update the su binary and the superSU app said i should restart before updating. I restarted the phone but it never updated the su binary when I ran the superSU app again. What do I do now?
thanks.
