[Q] Root, delete Verizon apps, and then UnRoot

Guys, please help.
I'm using an app that does not work with the rooted android.
Is it possible to root and then delete some useless Verizon apps and then unroot a Verizon LG G2?
TIA

What app? You can try installing Xposed and one of the root cloaking modules...

Good for enterprise.
I must not have root and also I don't want to use cloaking apps.
Thanks.

As far as I know, there's no way to unroot once rooted (except going back to stock, but that'll just put the bloat back in). I read quite a bit regarding modding and have never come across it.

Probably gonna have to stick to stock then... You can disable most apps via App Manager...

Thanks.

You can unroot from super su. If you scroll all the way down in the supersu settings It will say complete unroot. You can do that. I've checked it and root went away. Although I didn't modify any files/recovery/kernel or delete anything.

Any hopes to have a SuperSU outsmart Barclays Mobile ?

Same old problem: many useful apps need root, Barclays needs UNROOT ... and barclays becomes smarter and smarter every time, not allowing any room for tweaks.
Any hope to have SuperSU cloaked from Barclays Mobile, or somehow to allow apps that need unrooted phones to run in rooted environment?
Thanks.

For apps like that, just do a temporary unroot.

Thank you for the advice, but imagine you want to use banking app, you unroot, use the app ... then you must wait until you go back home (assuming you were somewhere away from your computer)... just to do again a tedious rooting operation that will be again canceled again in a matter of days... see my point? Is a lot of hassle.
Was hoping there are enough users of rooted phones who also want to benefit of mobile banking features (barclays and other similar apps that don't accept root)...

If it's Android pay , then full unroot and make your device stock again.
If it's not android pay(other banking app), then just full unroot.
It should work(if I'm right).

Thanks to you too @aufarxda ... but that wasn't the point. The question was about a way to circumvent rooting for some apps. To have the phone rooted for obvious advantages (kernel tuning, greenify, etc), but at the same time to be able to use the banking app (barclays). I tried cloaking, but seems to not work. I tried to disable SuperSU, nothing works. Only full unroot works. But guess what: after that my phone won't be rooted anymore. So, see the paradox here?

remove or disable stock Samsung apps?

Without root or screwing around too hard, is there a way to remove or disable the stock Samsung apps? Thx...

I use BK Disabler:

Should I root my note 8(n950f) or not
With pros and cons of rooting note 8

If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't and don't need to.
If you can't think of any reasons to root your phone for yourself, then you likely don't need root.
I'd suggest you don't root it, as you'll lose some security features and functionality of some apps.

I root to increase headphone volume and to shut down apps that are not needed.
It's a little bit of hassle but worth it in the end, especially as Magisk can hide the root from banking apps etc.

I have one banking app that refuses to work, no matter what I do or change to hide root from it. I have no idea how they detect root, but they manage to do it better than any other app in the world.

Weird. Have you tried the new Magisk Manager beta 16.6?
It has a lot of bugfixes.

Question S21 Ultra - SM-G998U Debloat Question

I have an ATT 998U with the September 1st security patch. The build is G998USQU4AUI7.
Can anyone tell me how or even if I would be able to flash a ROM without all this ATT crap on it? I'd greatly appreciate any help.

You can just disable whatever apps you don't need

Not really. A lot of them are system level apps and can't be disabled...

Yeah, this is exactly what I needed. Thanks! It took me a couple minutes to learn to use ADB but it worked perfectly.
