Hi. I recently installed netguard no root firewall on my huawei honor 3c which is running stock android 4.4.2 emui 3.0.. But when i started checking out the system apps i saw two apps which were not in my stock all apps settings. one was an app called NOBODY by 9999. and the other was an app called ROOT by 0. by the way ROOT app seems to be uploading and downloading data which I now blocked using the netguard firewall. Are these apps malicious? should i be worried?
Ues you should get rid of those apps
that should work.

Hi
Im just trying to find out what rooting the device will buy me...since I sideload apk files anyway...I know with rooting I can eventually get the Google play on the device...I'd like to hear from those that rooted it, what else it brought to the table. Because of all the bricked units and the bootloader being locked...Im a little nervous to do it..especially when I see one user successfully rooted it..only to have the screen come up blank a few days later..any input or feedback would be greatly appreciated....
If you follow all the directions right in rooting your device. Then you should not need to worry. If you have experience then you should be fine. Root gives you access to all system files. The reason people are getting brick is cause they mess with the system files. We do not fully know what all the files are for yet. So you just need to be careful. Root gives access to a completely different launcher keyboards. There are many topics on what you can do.

Just two things for example:
without root you can't use any other launcher except the amazon one
and can't use international keyboards.
Other things like backups, optimizing your device.. are not so critical

Not entirely true. Without root, you are limited to the number of launchers that will work. And with those that DO work, tapping the home soft button brings up the default Amazon UI. But you CAN use a launcher different than Amazon's.
I'm using ADW Launcher EX on a full stock unrooted KFHD. I like the flexibility of having access to both interfaces. I have decided that I won't root it until there is a foolproof way to prevent Amazon from forcing a subsequent update that would undo root.

is there a way to disable or freeze the component responsible for update downloading?
or to disable communication with update server?

I´m done with rooting
I root my KFHD as i get it out of the box; then get an ota update, lost root, root again, another ota, and another root and son on and on...
Since the google play market remains usable after lost the root privileges, i don't intend to root again; i live in mexico so i cant afford to brick my kindle fire.
The only apps screwed after lost the root where google maps and youtube; i got them in system/apps and disappear after the update, side loaded they dont log in, they need the google login service apk found in this forum, and after a reboot the login fine.
I dont care for backgrounds, widgets or alternate launchers; i just need to launch my games and apps on the superb screen of my KFHD and the amazon launcher does just that.
until someone breaks the bootloader...
Hi all,
Im new to Android but I have done a fair bit of developing with Windows phones. I have recently bought a LG Optimus 4X HD and the first thing I want to do is install PhoneLocator Pro for security.
In Windows I used to install security software to the extended ROM so if it was factory reset the software would stay. PhoneLocator Pro says it can do this if the phone is rooted. I have read the guide to rooting and im ready to give it a go.
My question is after I have rooted it, installed the software and removed the bloatware is it then possible to unroot the phone to protect it from accidental deletion and also to increase the security by not allowing deletion of PhoneLocator Pro when it is installed to the ROM.
I have done a lot of reading up on rooting but cant find anything on unrooting. I have also searched but when you search for "ROOT" a lot comes up.
Thanks

"5th. Automatically turns on the GPS giving you greater accuracy. Available only on phones with ROOT"
Soo, if you unroot the phone, the app won't work...
Stock apps can be uninstalled from the phone, and if you unroot there is no problem.
We can't have everything...
Thanks for your help.
If I leave the GPS activate all the time it should still work though shouldnt it?
How do I unroot and then i can try it?

In "SuperSU" you have the option "Remove root completly".
About the app... I don't know if only needs root for that option or to work normally. I never tried that app.
Thanks RuedasLocas.
In your opinion what freeze app software do you consider the best. Im thinking of trying App Quarantine and AntTek App Manager. From what I can see a few havent been updated for a while and therefore dont run so well on ICS.

Sorry if I steal the answer to this question but you can use the free app SDmaid. It also has an App management menu where you can freeze apps.
Or use Titanium Backup Pro Root.

Well... I use Root Uninstall Pro and AntTek Explorer, now, if they are the best or not...
They're very easy to work with and very effective.
RU allow to uninstall or freeze, give the app file location and directory thru AntTek Explorer.
AntTek Explorer allow to see and manage hidden files on the device.
If you plan to do some more Android stuff (especially flash roms what might be possible soon), I'd recommend you to buy Ti Backup.It's great for backups and can freeze, root uninstall, fix market links and more. I have never regretted buying it because you can do so much with it.

Hey everyone,
I have an HTC One international version, Android 4.4, unlocked and rooted. Since then I've been encountering 2 issues:
1) Whenever I delete a Google app (which is a system app) using Titanium Backup (free), for some reason Google Play always restores these apps and locks them as a system app, so I have to do the whole routine again. At first, I thought this happened because of Google sync, which automatically downloads every app I used to have on my HTC One. After I canceled the auto-sync, it continued to automatically download Google apps. How can I fix this?
2) Ever since the update and root I noticed that I don't have the calculator anymore. Is there any way I can download the stock calculator or am I doomed for?
Thanks in advance

2) You can download a calculator from Play Store. There's nothing special about the HTC Calculator.

1) you need an unsecured kernel like elementalx or bulletproof to write to /system otherwise all changes you made will be reset at reboot.
2)unlocking bootloader caused this. you can find the apk here on the forum or use any other app from the play store as suggested above.
And FYI deleting app/files in /system will prevent you to install the next ota. The ota md5 checksum will fail...
Hi, I have performed the same proceedure...... Got a calc from the play store too..... But my root never took.
I flashed the zip in recovery and rebooted, tried a few times. Once booted up use root checker and always get "no root access". What gives?

My phone is running Google Play services ver 7.xx.
There are some compatibility problems of it with CM12 official. So I need to downgrade it to ver 6.xx.
How can it be done?
Normal apk installation fails.
Installed via adb, adb says success and Google Play services starts FCing. However, on restarting phone and checking Google Play services app info, it is still at ver 7.xx only.
So how to downgrade?
Edit - Uninstalled using Titanium Backup. Install apk via adb. Restart. Done.
Disabling it under Apps and then apply your APK doesn't work?
Good luck on that. I had an LG phone that was incompatible with a newer version. I could install the older version, but no matter what I did, as soon as I connected to the internet for any reason, it would update to the new incompatible version in the background.

Did you try uninstalling using Titanium backup and install the old version

Son of a *****! This always happened to me when I've installed Pie but hadn't pinpointed it to this app, I thought it was just Pie being glitchy with TB so have stuck with Oreo. Might give Pie another whirl this week and try and figure that out.

Actually I found out that other people had a similar problem and it's just best to freeze AVG.
One other thing I found out is that if you plan on using Gmail app you need to keep Chrome browser at least frozen. If you delete it Gmail won't work.
Weird I didn't come across this when I removed it. I deleted the AVG folder from system apps via TWRP though and not from TB.
