Hi,
since I rooted my phone, it optimizes aps on each boot, which obviously prevents a somewhat fast boot. How can I prevent this?

Hi all,
I turned on my rooted nook color (which was running fine for a month) and suddenly, instead of the way I had customized the NC, I got the android logo on the screen, and was prompted to set up my google account again. It was similar to what you see as soon as you root the device for the first time. If I go to the 'extras' screen, all my downloaded apps are gone other than the default ones that came with the device. Superuser and NookColorTools are still there though. Anything I got from the market as well as all my custom settings are gone.
I have no idea what caused it. The process I used originally for stock rooting is here (using autorooter) and the device has 1.0.1. It was loaded to the internal memory.

Anyone know how I can return it to the way it was without losing my apps or data?
Sorry for my lack of correct terminology but I'm still new to this. I am afraid that if I try re-rooting I'll lose my settings and data. Thanks
EDIT: Just discovered something. I plugged in the NC to charge it, and it automatically installed an update bumping the firmware up to 1.1.0. I never manually did this update. And now I'm back to the default 8 apps under the extras screen, no NookColorTools or Superuser anymore. Seems it's back to factory defaults. Any way to at least salvage my angry birds data?
If you want to disable auto updates, you will need to follow these steps:
1. Re-root your NC
2. Download ADB or Root Explorer
3. Rename a file that is located in /etc/security. Change otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip_DISABLED_OTA_UPDATES
Thanks. It's odd that it was able to update the firmware at all, because it was always my understanding you needed to have the device back at stock (like new) before installing those, and this happened while it was still in a rooted state.
So you think there's no way to get it to the way it was without rooting again?
[Q] GNote "forgetting" system apps updates and misc settings on phone reboot
Hi,
For the record:
I unrooted my former rootable GB stock in order to update it to the last GB version which had this same problem after the update.
This behaviour happens also with ICS.
What's happening is that each time I reboot my phone, it seems to be loosing the updates for various system apps (G Apps, Samsung Apps) as well as settings (Battery Notifier Pro BT) which is already strange.
On top of that, even though I upgraded to ICS, it seems that I can't root my phone anymore! Indeed, even though I did install the SpeedMod kernel with root, it's not really happening...
Indeed, even though su is installed under /system/xbin/su, I can't run it, and Superuser is unable to upgrade the binary.
On top of that, all my "root aksing" apps tell me that I have no root access on my phone.
Any idea on this one?
Hello there. I'm using my Galaxy Note for almost a year now and I have never had any major problems before. But recently it got extremely laggy. The lags are: system is running normally, but as soon as I get any app running "including original apps such as music player" the system starts to slow down. Some apps kick me out when I try to run them, but after a few tries they work properly without any lags.Have to mention - all apps are running fine, that's the system that extremely slows down after using them, even when I close apps in task manager. *Well, task manager is lagging itself* Some apps such as Facebook widget on my main screen stopped showing latest messages and until I reboot the whole system or clear memory in task manager it won't allow me to enter facebook at all. Whenever I sort my apps in the app screens - after a reboot the system puts them in a random order again. I think that's the only things I found so far. It all started a few days ago after I updated my apps. I deleted all the latest of them I have installed, but it didn't change anything. My phone memory is half empty, I deleted half of my text messages, so I don't think the problem is in a lack of memory. Can You help me out, guys?
I have all the latest updates installed and my a. version is 4.0.4
Sorry for my bad english
probably u need a factory reset.
but don't think it's safe on the stock kernel.
either root install a safe kernel and do a wipe and try again or
download the stock rom and flash it thru Odin.

A question for any intellectual Android/Nook-addicts out there...
Basically, I've rooted my Nook HD+ (Numberous times now) and have experience rooting android devices in the past and have had no problems. I used the CWM method - installed universal root on factory stock (And afterwards, 2.1.0 stock just to see if it fixed the problem... it didn't) and extras (Tried not installing extras twice also, didn't make a difference)
Basically, I've learnt the hard way that eight resets on boot and the device hard-resets to factory stock. The first Root Bootup is fine (The bootup after removing the CWM sdc) and, after turning it off and on again, so is the second bootup... But the third one is where the problem occurs. I power on as normal, and the standard 'Nook' screen appears as it begins to boot...
It then proceeds to resetting itself eight times - never getting past the 'Nook' screen that appears at the start of every bootup, therefore causing a hard factory reset.
I've tried using the CWM recover method to the OS I used before rooting the nook originally, and there doesn't seem to be any problems if the device isn't rooted. I've also just let it update itself from factory version to current version - and it works fine with that also.
Perhaps this is common and I'm just a plain idiot. I honestly can't find any answers - so if it is common, sorry for wasting your time!
Thanks for your time!

Do you have some apps being automatically installed by Play Store? Sometime people have their settings set so that happens. Then a root app gets installed and makes some changes to /system and causes a reset. Go to Play Store and tell it not to automatically install or upgrade apps.`

No apps that automatically download that i can see. But you're likely onto something - I do install all the apps manually (No matter how menial) (Going through the list, hitting install for each of them) before manually logging into each one afterwards. I do use a few root apps - no ad-versions to avoid those annoying popups, Ultrabox, Superuser, Pimp my Android and Root Browser to name most, if not all of them.
I'm going to have to do things the awkward way now, installing each app, setting them to the setting I want for them, and seeing what happens. I have a mild suspicion it's a setting on Pimp my Android...
I'll let you know if I sort it. Thanks for the suggestion :cyclops:

Why are you installing superuser? It is already installed with the universal root. That may be it too.
Edit: And some of the apps I put on there are old on purpose. Like Root Browser. I have it set so that the free version is ad free. If you update it, the ad free goes away.

I am VERY sorry it's taken me so long to reply! Even though I've only just joined, I should have done it long before now.
I found the problem - it was 'Pimp my Android' app. I was experiencing something called 'boot loop' - so much for my research skills for such a common problem. I fiddled about with my usual settings - and found some that cause it to get stuck like that, even when they're set not to activate on startup!
Tis' all working now. Everything else seems to be just peachy! You were right, thanks for your help
I just rooted my MXPE with 6.0 and stock rom using the systemless method, and I have a couple questions. First, I have a few apps that want to install themselves or addons as system apps, mainly battery apps. Better Battery stats is one, and in its case, it states "does not prevent from installing updates." Since altering /system negates the main benefit of the systemless root, I'm curious if installing apps as system apps changes /system, and therefore makes it more work to take an OTA update. And on that note, how about moving apps to the system ROM (I'm guessing this wouldn't affect it, as this should be something entirely different, but I'd like to know for sure).
My other question is with xposed. I would like to install it, but as far as I can tell doing so would alter /system and, again, cause issues with accepting an OTA. However, it's my understanding all that would need to be done would be to re-flash the stock boot and system images, take the OTA, then reroot and reinstall xposed. Is this correct?
