Why you don't use root explorer?
Just use Root Explorer to find the email.apk and delete it.

Check root permissions in SuperUser app. I had the same problem and I found out the app had no root permissions in the SuperUser app. Apps like that have a red circle on the right.

Thanks wery much.

I'm trying to unlock my bootloader but I don't have root access as well and Super one click won't root it because I don't think it works on GingerDX

Have your phone rooted yet?

Stock JB browser from the network Roms

Here's a working Deodexed Browser.apk from the ThreeUK build.
the sim-free xZ come with Chrome as default,
some people prefer the normal android browser (I Like both, so use this and chrome beta )
it does have some features that chrome doesn't such as full-screen and quick-controls.
to install : You will need ROOT !
on an unbranded rom, you will need to remove
system/app/chrome.apk
system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk
Possibly remove
data/app/Chrome apk
data/data/com.android.browser.provider
otherwise you could get issues with conflicting package names.
then push this to system/app and chmod to 644
Appears you need chromebookmarksyncadaptor as well to get synced bookmarks

cheers r1c4rd0 for that

Lost with last step then I think "push this to system/app an chmod to 644 ?"
edit: got it, but still not working (rw-r-r)

copy the browser.apk in root explorer to system/app/ and set the correct permissions to the same as the other files in there rw-r--r- (or 644 as a code) :silly:

Thanks works perfectly

got it, but when trying to open up it forcesloses (though on background you see page loading (something from sony)
on an unbranded rom, you will need to remove
system/app/chrome.apk
system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk => renamed
Possibly remove
data/app/Chrome apk
data/data/com.android.browser.provider => renamed

thank you!

Hi, i have try to install this browser in my xperiaZ but don't work.
So i have a firmware stock (.434) with root permission.

one easy way is with titanium backup

First you guys need to be rooted.
Then just move the apk you want from /data/app/ to /system/app/ using any root file explorers.
Set the permissions to rw-r-r- and voila, you now have your system app

Because it's in the system folder. And please, use your imagination and try yourself. We are not here to spoon-feed each and every detail. You have already been told everything you need to know to complete the task. Now please use your brain and start trying. And if you cannot figure it out you probably should not be messing with system apps and permissions anyway.

Okay
Sorry
Thank You for your help

No need to be sorry. Just don't expect to people to do the work for you. Rooting a phone and messing around with system apps etc. always requires a bit of trial and error.

*UPDATE*Smart Manager 5.1.1

Took this apk and necessary files out of the tmobile update 5.1.1.
(Root Browser)
Place files :system/priv-apps
Set correct permissions and rename the one already in that directory
This works on At&t Galaxy s6 not tested on other variants
*Confirmed working on SPRINT*
Pictures located on POST#19
Not responsible if you prick your phone or anything.
*Must be rooted*
*Must be on a custom rom
*If I helped in any way a simple click on the THANKS button is sufficient*

What does it do? Regardless I'm downloading right now. Lol. #yoloflash

Yea I got it figured out, thanks for posting it!

"Set correct permissions and rename the one already in that directory "
I have a folder named " SmartManager_PROVIDER " in the system/priv-app folder
Is that the one I rename to disable it?
Then unzip and paste the folder and contents attached to this thread in the system/priv-app folder ?
And what are the correct permissions?
I'm rooted AT&T OE2 using root explorer.

Yes just rename the file you don't necessarily have to freeze as it does nothing its already disabled by at&t.
Yes everything goes in the system/priv-apps folder...
Set permissions to folders as below... the apk and other files in the arm folder are the same permissions.
Reset...

grant root access to apps

I didn't understand how to use Magisk. How to grant root access to apps? for example there is an app where I would like to select the sd card as the download folder.

no. the app I was talking about does not ask me for any root access! basically, all the apps I use should ask me? as soon as I open the app?
