I recently downloaded a mobile security app for my phone and ran a scan and its telling me to uninstall my apps that require root.
Does anyone know of a mobile security app that works with and does not interfere with my rooted phone?
I use Dr.Web Anti-virus Light.
Free off the market and doesn't consider root apps as a 'threat'

hey there,
I rooted my Nexus7 (2012) using WugFresh's Toolkit (it worked, I have root access).
Now I wanted to delete/deactivate some of the stuff I don't want/need like for example the hangouts app using the app "Root App Delete". I can choose to deactivate the app, but afterwards it still works/opens up.
So how do I actually deactivate this stuff?
thanks so much

I personally use Clean Master - Free Optimizer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard). It completely Uninstalls the system apps and not just deactivates them.
I use root uninstaller it will freeze, backup or uninstall apps. So you could backup hangouts (if you were ever going to want it again) and uninstall it or just freeze it to stop it working sometimes you have to uninstall it twice as the first uninstall only removes the updates

Hi!
Can't disable Evernote. Any way to get rid of this app without root? I'm tired of being asked for updates through the Play store.
You can disable it.
Where? In the app manager?
yes
Can't do it. The disable button is grey.
Not possible without root

Too bad. Thank you!
This may come 2 years late, but I just found a way to disable evernote on N4 . It cannot be done from settining, but if you drag the icon from app drawer to top, it'll allow you to uninstall the update and disable evernote.
PS: non rooted Note4 (6.0.1)
how to remove evernote with adb
I think I actually installed it, and there was no way to uninstall it. Some how these A-holes at evernote got their app to register as a system program. Evernotes forum has their "gurus" literally laughing at us telling us to use it, that it's the only recourse. So after hours of research I found out it's actually simple to remove it and other unwanted bloatware without root access. All you need to do is download free android development tools(adb) and follow the instructions on the link I am providing and you can take anything off your phone or tab within minutes. https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
If you have root,with Magisk manager you can download modules Debloater and with this in Terminal you can uninstall every possible app. I even uninstall stock Message and install Messages from Resurrection remix..
TL;DR Google Play has only the Open option and no way to uninstall app
After updating my I337M from rooted NI2 Kit Kat to rooted OC4 Lollipop, I was unable to properly run Wakelock Detector. It was stock to stock so I didn't wipe factory settings.
Googled a suggestion to move the APK to /system/priv-app so I did that but still the same result.
Now when I want to try uninstall (so as to re-install) there is no option. Under Manage Apps the app isn't even listed. The APK is still under priv-app and I deleted it... still shows up in app drawer.
D'Oh! What else can I do to uninstall it properly?

i have the same problem
so ticked off. same here. even paid for the full version because sometimes that fixes issues like this. I can disable or freeze with titanium backup pro but can't uninstall. i think the problems happened after converting to system app. so now I have 2 frozen apps I want off my phone. On top of that the app stopped working after converting to system app. I get an error after the app loads. I emailed the developer and am waiting to hear back.
This days the application App2SD is able correct install Wakelock Detector as private , and it is able to uninstall it if it was installed as private .
Hey guys just wondering if anyone knows anyway of getting the Barclays banking app to work I'm running Alexis Rom so rooted and of course the app detects root and closes so I have hiden root from the app using magisk and then also hid magisk the app now does not detect root but crashes as soon as you click on the app anyone found a way of running the app with root?
i managed to fill in the information for loging in but once i confirm it was giving me some error
i have hidden the barclays and the magisk manager
didnt tried to call them and see what that error was but i think it may have worked once they registered the phone once again
try to reset the data maybe when you had root once you opened it it remembers now and doesnt want to let you in
Try reinstalling or clearing data and dalvik cache
Delete all data the app has, deinstall, change device ID (apps on play store), reinstall the banking app and retry.
I want to uninstall the Feedback app as it drains my battery a lot, not to mention it runs in the background when Ive never opened or used the stupid app before! The question is can I uninstall it without having any side affects?
Uninstalling system app may result in OTA update failure, other than that no problem should occure.
Unfortunately this is the only built in app added by Xiaomi you can't disable.
Clear the data, set the switch to never run in background and don't open the app again, should help reduce battery usage.
Feedback (and also Camera) is a system app. So uninstalling it could make problems with OTA. Just disable it.

Feedback can't be disabled, that's why I gave the advice in the post before yours.
@kudos1uk I just tested it and you are right. But you can disable it with Titanium Backup or Greenify(I don't know how they work without root) or Brevent that should work without root: https://www.xda-developers.com/brevent-is-an-open-source-alternative-to-greenify-works-without-root/
I don't know if OTA works when the app is hibernated. Maybe, it's better to enable it before updating Android via OTA. Personally, I have the app Feedback activated. It doesn't slow down my phone...

You can't disable a system app with TB without root.
The OP only needs to follow the advice in my first post, if running in background is disabled and you don't start it all will be fine.
If cant disable Mi services and feedback, you can uninstall the app
You can uninstall s&f app by ADB tool using your laptop.. My question is that is it safe??
