Looking to keep my 4.4 Note 3 identical to how it is now (apps, root, etc) but no longer want SafeStrap. Is there an easy and safe way to remove this without a lot of hoops?
Thanks

I always uninstall it from inside the app, then uninstall the app. Haven't had any problems and easy to install back if I need it. If you don't see the app, when install it and go from there.
Sorry what does your last sentence mean? I dont see the app when inside the OS but perhaps on boot I need to go in to make changes? THanks

Missed spelled. Install Safestrap (so you can see the app) then uninstall it from inside the app, then uninstall Safestrap app.
So I should download the apk and install it again? Doing this is just so I can get into the app, and inside will be an option to uninstall? Am I understanding this correctly?
Thanks

Currently, as said above, you must use Root Keeper from the market to preserve root. Just download it and make a backup now so that whenever the OTA eventually comes, you'll be ready. There is an updated kernel and baseband in the leaked 5.7.894 and the camera is better.

Thanks for the response. When you make a backup with Root Keeper, what do you do after accepting the new OTA when it's released? Simply restore the backup after accepting the OTA?

Yup! Open the app and hit restore root. I made a copy of the root backup file on my SD card in case the OTA were to wipe it. I could easily move it back onto the root of the phone and change the permissions and owner.

The only issues I've had with it are that if you create a Nand backup with su-backup (the root backup) on the root of the phone, that Nand will fail to restore. You can easily, from the app, remove su-backup boot into recovery and make the Nand, then reboot the phone and re-backup root. I hope this makes sense.

Copy/push it directly to /system and set permissions as 0644 /rw-r-r. Make sure the old one gets overwritten or deleted. Reboot into recovery and wipe dalvik cache and cache. That should install that Contact.apk...can't comment if it'll fix your problems.

So you use SafeStrap? Locked bootloader?
Either way, just copy/paste it with a root file manager and set the permissions right.
SS has a wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache options. Even if you plan on staying stock, unlocking your bootloader and using CWM makes fixing problems much easier. I imagine in the coming months the amount of users with SS experience will be next to none. Out of all of us who answer questions and help out regularly, I have the least amount of SS experience....but only because I was late to the AHD scene, I'm just glad I made it in time to watch all the development progress from completely locked down to tons of development.

I don't know what SafeStrap is so I probably didn't use it. I'm not sure about the status of the bootloader.
How would I unlock the bootloader if it's locked?
Seems I've completely mucked things up.
The contact feature now seems to work, but I've lost the stock messaging app, additionally the phone doesn't work correctly. When I attempt to make a call the dialer opens the Skype app. My phone no longer connects to my carrier's network.

What apps/settings are you guys freezing with TB? I want to freeze update so I don't accidentally take whatever OTA's are available, but what else do you guys freeze?
How do you get TB work? It said that my s6 edge is not rooted and its rooted with pingpong root..
You have to switch from Kinguser to SuperSU.

I think there was instructions on how to manually switch in the OP of the pingpong root thread. I just rooted my phone last night, and it installed supersu instead of king
New version installs SuperSU instead.

It's a very difficult procedure for users with a little or no experience/knowledge but here you can find the instructions on how to do it. If you don't know or don't understand how to do the procedure, DON'T DO IT.

So what apps need frozen to stop the update being pushed out? Took a quick look and the only one I see is the 'AT&T Software update' one, but I'm pretty sure there are more pieces you can freeze, just can't recall the names.

By installing a custom recovery, TWRP in this case. Then either using ADB from it or the built in file manager within TWRP.

Probably could, but I wouldn't recommend it. Reason being, if you mod system files and something goes wrong, without custom recovery and a backup, you may end up bricked.
1. The google double tap is extremely unreliable and annoying
2. You'll never get an OTA again.

Flash the system image from a factory image. If your kernel is modified, flash the boot IMG as well.
Use wugs toolkit.

And when I need root again I must just install it along with Franco Kernel I'm using?

First, why are you trying to unroot?
You would download a factory image form the Google developer page. Extract twice, and grab the system image from there. Yes, match the version your phone is currently on.

Have you considered multi ROM? You could have your rooted normal set up and a non rooted as well.

Depends on how deeply his situation is looking for root files. The unroot feature of SuperSU doesn't remove everything.

well, 2 months ago it was being called older.. anyways, the far majority of roms do not have root. you need to flash the supersu file shen flashing the roms, for root. but, to flash a rom, yoh need an unlocked bootloader and twrp recovery. most apps that check for root will still think that you have root though.

i must have fell asleep during this development lol
far as i have ever seen, its rare for a rom to not be rooted, however, more frequently devs have had it off by default, and its a treasure hunt to find where to turn it on.
i do always flash the su zip, to avoid this tedious hunting though.

yup I found that most are pre-rooted, though found cleancore that works great. I've just installed multirom and that booted into it then tested a couple of apps that are blocked on root (Banking app and Sky Go), and happy days they work great.
Its annoying and rather wasteful having have a second rom just to run a couple of apps but at least now I can use the apps on my device if I want to. Thanks
Typical apps block hacking (root) so the work around instead of unrooting is to go deeper with the hacks/mods
