I'm new here but I do have a background in PC IT. Try not to be too hard on me if I ask stupid questions
I was checking out a thread on the AT&T Community forums and many are complaining about not being able to remove unwanted apps. Is there a simple way to remove them? Also what advantages will I gain from rooting my phone?
Thanks,
Danny
google rooting.

Rooting your device will give you permissions to the System. So for example, if you want to delete unwanted apps, root your device and install a file explorer and go to /system/app . You can do much more if you root your phone and install different applications.
Root alone does nothing I guess.

I'm pretty sure there is a proper galaxy S4 active forum. I don't have a link cause I don't need to go there.

Root access us kind of like having administrative privileges on a PC. You can install, uninstall, delete files . . whatever. The bootloader is kind of like the master boot record. Even with admin rights, some things are very difficult.

Yes you can. I did. Just search for root i537 4.3. After that use root explorer or any other file manager (root) and go to system/apps folder. Be careful

Is there a way to have a froyo root zip without superuser.apk
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
It is possible, but why would you want to do that? The superuser app prevents apps from gaining root access without any prompt from the user. If you didn't have it root apps would have free reign over your device...
EDIT: Oh and next time post questions in the Q&A, you will avoid snarky replies that way
Ok thanks the only reason is I like thing to look stock with root access like the black twitter and Facebook widget and I usually remove once I have root

Hi guys. Just followed the guide on how to root LQ2 and all went well I think. Whats the quickest and easiest way to check that I have root? Super user is installed and opens.

Download a app that requires root and see if it can get root access

Just look if you have "Superuser" or "Super SU" installed.
You can download titanium backup for example and check if it requests root access. You can also try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck
Guys thanks for quick reply. I downloaded root explorer and it asked for access. This was a bit of a daft thread but I had a total mind blank on easiest way to check.it.

You should be able to paste a file to the system folder if your note has root. Use a program like ES file explorer to enable root and write on the system folder.
This is the one thing I am having a problem with actualy. Trying to move the S3 contacts into system folder but get failed message. Any idea?

Hi guys,
Some questions here:
1. I was just exploring my O4X with my Titanium Backup when I realized my superuser app isn't listed in Backup/Restore tab. Is there anyway we can do to show the app?
2. When I first rooted my phone, the given superuser app is superuser. Is it possible to use SuperSU instead? I find SuperSU much more user friendly and it's got some features that superuser doesn't.
3. Related to question no. 1 & 2, supposing I've installed SuperSU, is it safe and possible to simply uninstall the superuser app using Titanium Backup and let SuperSU take over the superuser stuff?
Any replies will be greatly appreciated.
PS. It's March 31 in Indonesia and still no sign of official JB update.

To backup Superuser or SuperSU is useless, you need always to install it because of binary.
Installing SuperSU in system will uninstall Superuser automatically but if you don't want to install it in system, you can delete /uninstall Superuser like any other app without losing ROOT (after install SuperSU, it takes control over Superuser)

I actually tried installing both apps and it seems like nothing is happening. The only problem is that I can't remove the superuser, it doesn't show up anywhere not even in Titanium Backup.
Thanks for your reply though

Download SuperSU from play store , open it , tgen go to the setting tap ,, then check the "enable SuperSU" .
Then goto "install SuperSU into /system" .
That is all .

Hello,
I just buy a S3 mini and it is a great mobile.
I want to delete some Samsung apps without flash a CM ROM.
How could I delete the apps?
Thanks and best regards.
The only way to delete system apps is if you root your phone and then delete them. Otherwise you can't delete them.
There are enough simple tutorials on how to root your S3 Mini in these forums. Just take a look around.

Thanks!
Once it is rooted, how could I delete the apps? Need I any special software to delete Samsung apps?
Thanks again.
Yes use rom toolbox lite from play store

Titanium Backup can also do the job. There are also many other apps which can do that.

I'll link my small CWM/TWRP mod here: [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2553854]Debloat Samsung Galaxy S3 mini[/URL]
Apps like root explore can do the job
I own a N920C with root and Dr. Ketan's rom.
I have noticed that the smart manager say always that a threat found.
As you can see in the attached photo there is no details about it.
Any ideas ?
Maybe has something to do with Knox?
Since you're using a custom ROM.
Root and super user are the threats..

Makes sense...
I know that can be the reason but I guess then that if I'll press reboot that will block my root.
Thought that maybe someone have experience it as well.
On the S6 post root, this was fixed for me by freezing securitylogagent using titanium backup.
