Hello Everyone ,
First off I would like to say I’m new to this forum. I’m hoping to learn alot about my new android Galaxy S captivate phone. I have a couple questions regarding my phone, I would really appreciate if you guys can help me.
1.I bought one app from the market store, I later restore my phone. There anyway to retrieve my app without paying for it again?
2.What is rooting is it just like jailbreaking an iphone?
Thanks,
Michael
Hello there!
1. My guess is that if you login to the market with the same account, you will not have to buy the app again. If you login with a different account, yes, you will pay for it again
2. Rooting means that you have SuperUser access to your phone (just like Administrator for windows). You will be able to install extra programs like task managers, and file managers in order to access the root of your phone (the core of your linux-capable smartphone)
Note that you DO NOT have to root in order to install "pirated" material!

Yes, but keep in mind, don't rely on pirated programs. Google has already provided a framework which developers can use to prevent their use illegally. It allows developers to test if the phones owner purchased the software they installed on start. Previously, pirated APK's I believe ran fine on other devices just by copying the package.
And yes, as mentioned, it is similar to jailbreaking, but unlike the iPhone, rooting has limited uses on Android (because you can install software from 3rd parties anyway).
Last question, lets say if I root my phone, and i magically screwed up. Can there be a chance where my phone is brick and no longer repairable?
I have switched jobs and ended up with a VM Samsung Intercept I am growing to like it but I hate the bloatware other then rooting it is there anyway to uninstall the junk I will never use and keep the other junk from running at start up every single time?
At a fresh boot I have 52 Megs after running advanced task killer and stopping the bloatware I have 62
Amazon MP3 Never used it never will use it it runs at start up every single time I reboot the phone and I have to go in and kill it (Makes me want to never use Amazon again)
MAPS I have turned off all location bases services but everytime I reboot the phone that dang maps loads again (I Hate it)
Market I use it to download apps and games but I don't need it running every single time I reboot
Voice Dailer never use it doubt I ever will
SSA (not sure what it is)
Hello,
I have the same problems as you do. Download an app called startup cleaner from the marketplace. There you can have it kill the apps you don't want at startup. It's the closest way to getting rid of them without rooting your phone.
Everyone asks this, it's not unique to one phone
These are system apps and are in a system directory that is write and delete protected. Think of root as admin on a computer it grants you special privileges like write and delete.
You lack the permissions necessary without root. As for the answer to you question I think you knew it when you posted and after this should most defiantly know the correct answer is often the most obvious.
When I was new to android I was worried too, but don't worry. Just find a "stock rom" and if you need to ever send the device in you will be able to flash the stock images on to the built in flash memory. It's like any writable memory you can always write over it with original information if you have source for the original info.
Hi I don't have a Samsung Intercept but I know that any rooted phone can remove bloatware using the app, Titanium Backup. You need to be rooted in order for app to work, and it is free.

Yeah you have to root your phone before you can remove system apps. I suggest anyone root there phone, you can make it like 100 times better. Go over to sdx-developers.com and look around in the intercept section for how to root your phone!

Very simple
Rooting this phone is quite simple - using only help and posts from xda I was able to root my intercept, remove the annoying bloatware (which really makes the system run great) and use my phone as a full infrastructure mode Wi-Fi hotspot for my android tablet.
Don't waste your time with startup cleaners and task killers - just head over to the dev section and read the guide and root your phone - then install Titanium Backup from the market - you can use it to remove factory installed apps but still keep a backup of them - you will need to restore them if VM ever pushes out another OTA update (which I doubt; I don't see us getting gingerbread on this device)
PM me if you need help rooting your Intercept. You need a data sync cable, a windows PC, and a little bit of time to get it going.
Hi all!
I'd like to ask the question in my title: Is there a way i can remove a system app (for example SIM toolkit) without rooting?
I was thinking if i can somehow use ADB with root privileges and remove system apps through recovery or fastboot!
Thanks in advance!
You would have to do it with root and then remove root again - kinda pointless tbh
you can go to settings, appd, all.. pick the system app that you want, then press disable. but you cant remove them without root.

Tbh this is what i'm doing for all apps that i dont want.
The one that really gets on my nerves (and is the reason for this thread) is sim toolkit which can not be disabled this way!
Just a quick question: why do you want to remove the apps? If it's just because they clutter up your app drawer, or something like that, wouldn't it be easier to simply install a launcher and hide the apps?
That's the method I use. If I can't see them, then they don't really bother me.

sometimes(not always), just because you dont see them doesnt mean that they arent draining your battery or using your ram. at least facebook isnt a system app on a nexus :silly:
Pretty sure you cant get rid of sim toolkit, it will just get installed again, I think its coming from the sim card.
Use twrp file manager and delete stuff in the system/app/ folder.
Sim toolkit is not a drain. I'm not sure why you want to remove apps or why you don't want to root. Messing with /system can prevent you from being able to use ota update.

I've been looking for it as i want my phone to have that Share-SD Card function so i can install heavy 2GB+ apps, but the problem is also i need one that's not detectable or rooted, to escape from the main app i use which detects such things or else it doesn't work, back then i had a old phone with a custom CygnogemROM it could detect it no matter what i did to hide it...
Just a question, really.

I don't think there's a way of hiding custom rom. It is needed for apps to work and is probably hardcoded, impossible to hide.
For root, have you tried rootcloak? You need Xposed for it
and there are many marshmallow custom roms around. What exactly are you saying?
Hi everyone Anyone has used Android and had problem with APK files like me? I wanna install some apps/games to relax. I also wanna try to download apk files through a few websites. However I scare that my Android device will be hacked with virus. Do you know if apk/apk bundle/.... are good for Android? And hope you guys recommend me the webs that are really safe for my mobile phone and Pc or laptop
To stay safe I would probably recommend Malwarebytes on PC and Android.
This comes with 14-day trial though you can make it 28-day free trial by selecting Personal PC and Business PC.
I think you need Antivirus
Some people are asking the same question on my facebook page. I think you need to install an antivirus. I suggest avast, easy to install and pops up when it detected any harmful thing.
