I have had my Dell Streak-7 for a week tomorrow and have been trying to get some of the big name software to work for me...
And Google "PLAY MOVIES" will not play as it says my system is rooted??
But I have not rooted my device }YET{.
So is 'Google' misreading the device setting or did DELL 'Pre-Root' my system and if so how can I tell, and if so how can I get Google to see my system as non-rooted?

Install the Superuser app. If you are rooted, it will give you root permission and access. You can also install apps that require root access like Titanium Backup or a firewall app. If you are rooted or not, these apps will let you know.

I have recently purchased the GT-P1000 in Kuwait. It's unlocked but I don't have admin rights to it. Initially, there was no Android Market but I found the fix for that in another post.
My current dilemma now is I can't seem to get apps to install. The downloads will pause themselves and never install the application. I've had this happen to Angry Birds and Robo Defense.
As of now, I have no desire to flash this device. AFAIK, it's 3g voice/data straight out of the box and I don't want to risk losing those features.
Now, the question is, what's the bare minimum I need to do so I can install apps from Android Market and remove unwanted apps?
So I feel like an idiot now. For some reason, I can now get the apps to download and install: Angry Birds, Robo Defense, ES File Explorer, and Dropbox have installed successfully.
I still would like to remove some apps and install some that will need root access. Can someone confirm that if I root the phone that it won't affect the 3G data/voice capabilities?
ROOTING only gives you su (superuser admin) rights to your phone. It doesnt affect your phone or device functions (unless you mess around somewhere). Rooting gives you ability to access files or functions that vendor has it locked out from you. Sort of like jailbreaking the iphone.
Flashing roms is another thing. Some roms have no support to some functions But since you already own an unbranded non carrier GSM and Not CDMA tab. You shouldnt really worry.
all samsung tabs are different...so in lots oof countries they made some differnces in possibilties.
Try out by going to my weblog and after registering to download thje apks you find in the download section.
Best is to download this on another laptop..and copy the apk to the micro sd card in a folder with your name
then withe a file manager clck on the apk to see if they install
not working.....then you need to root your samsung to make it work

thanks for the info. I didn't think rooting would break anything but my paranoia got the best of me.
I rooted my phone yesterday and was able to install and run apps that need SU rights. I'm still havin trouble removing the apps that came with the Tab. Thoughts anyone?
FYI, I can uninstall apps that I've downloaded from the market.

Oho. stock apps cannot be uninstalled. Simplest way to uninstall stock apps is to use Titanium Backup Pro. Before you do that, be sure you backup the app in case you need it again later.
I decided to finally go root because i would like to use apps like gamecih or dsploit... But when I go into the apps it says something like: "No root permission was given", or, "No busybox installed", does anybody knows how to correct this problem?

The one on this forums... And its rooted i can use apps like Titanium Backup or even verify with superuser. But not all the root apps work!
I have used Root Check, to see if my device is rooted or not.
Hello everyone, if my tablet I install play store services happens that the same becomes slow, no way to fix it?
thanks
i mean, what exactly moved into your brain to start writing about a tablet ( you don t even say the model) inside the Oneplus one THEMES AND APPS section? i'm pretty curious
obviously I was wrong section.
I apologize and ask if there is a section where I can post the problem that occurs with me play store services?

This tablet has no support I can see.. It's a bit old 2012, slower processor and limited 512mb of ram.. There's no way it can cope properly with Google's services.. If you use kingo root, remove some bloat, install disable services app and tune your system, you can eek out a bit more usability..
It still is running 4.0?
is 4.0.4

Do you want to modify it in hopes of improved performance?
no better than the performance because then I know not much but simply changes there are several apps that require the google play services. By installing the google play services these apps work, but the system slows down for example to open the virtual keyboard and write it takes some time and if the google play store there is this problem does not occur

You have low ram, 512mb is barely enough to run current apps, assuming there are no background apps.. You'll need to root to bring play services under control..
Go to settings, about device, build number (tap it 7 times) this unlocks developer options..
Go back to settings, developer options and enable android debugging..
On your computer install adb drivers
Download kingo root and install
Connect to your computer, run kingo root to root your device..
Once rooted, go to the play store and install SuperSu
Grant root to SuperSu and follow prompts to fully install it in your system.. (Don't try the recovery option)
Once installed, remove kingo...
Reply back when this is done.. Good luck..
hello
I installed a store looks different from play store but both play store and on that I installed there are several root kingo I could say that right?
thanks

Kingo will likely need your computer to root.. Be careful with unofficial playstore's and random apk downloads due to malware.. The steps I mentioned gained root access on the off brand tablet I got for my daughter. It came "ad supported" so I rooted to remove the bloat, and installed the play store..
So use the previous post to gain root and then we'll move to the next step..

Hello I would like to know if it is posible.
I want to use some apps like titanium on my unrooted android 6
I have installed TWRP
so I think flashing the aps from zip in TWRP, setting root permission to the apps and placed on system apps, they are going to work like root?
Please help me, thanks!

No, that isn't how that works, sorry. There is no such thing as "setting root permission". Simply moving the apps to /system won't allow them to get root, because you aren't rooted.

and why other preinstalled apps can work as root?

They don't... Because root doesn't exist on stock devices.
They do run as the system user, but that isn't enough for any root apps to function alone, as root apps rely on writing to non-user writable directories, which the system user cannot do.
I refused to sign in Amazone, but want to use the Underground Apps for games. But when I tried 'adb install -r abc.apk' to install and replace the app, it shows: 'Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER]. I also have root access, is there any step to achieve this?

No - must install app and sign into Amazon.

You are right, Amazon seems to lock everything if within their rom. I've tried uninstalling many built-in apps via Root Uninstaller but still it doesn't allow a new app to get installed from PlayStore for instant 'Amazon Kindle' as it still shows 'Open'!

Custom ROM (Fire Nexus) is likely the best solution.
