which one to choose if starting from the very beginning with stock kernel?
I just installed what I found in the market. But remember never to update it once you have installed it.
Noob question: why not?
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
I seem to see automatic updates to my installed apps. Is there anyway to actually stop that from happening to busybox then? Is there a switch somewhere that I could disable automatic updates.
I specifically ask for version because I am worried that some tools and ROMs may have version requirement.
After you install the new Rom just don't install the busybox app from the market. If busybox is updated it may result in an inaccessible xrecovery.

would i encounter similar problem if I use CWM instead of xrecovery? Is this a bug on the part of xrecovery?

I want to get a list of root methods people have tried and which ones have been successful.
Kingo Root seems to be the most discussed method, but various reports have raised questions about whether it steals data. Looks as though the official policy on XDA is that it's in limbo until deemed safe:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47111019&postcount=65
Someone else suggested OneClickRoot.com:
http://www.oneclickroot.com/phone/lg-g-pad-8-3/
This method is widely used and from my research, considered safe by most people, but I don't know if anybody has used it successfully on a G Pad.
Please report in this thread what method you've tried and what worked.
I have tried Framaroot 1.7 but it did not work.

After rooting I replaced superuser with supersu from play store since this is best for GMD to work. I am happy?

I used the same method and also replaced Superuser with Supersu. And I installed Busybox from Google Play. The script works great! I would recommend that everbody who has not yet rooted use this method and not Kingo.

what are the advantages of replacing superuser with supersu? Is it an easy procedure to replace it?

I think the two apps are pretty similar. I read reviews that said that SuperSU was better for later versions of Android and Superuser was better for older versions. I've been using SuperSU on my phone for a while, so I'm more familiar with it. Probably doesn't matter much which one you use.
As far as switching the apps, just uninstall Superuser and install SuperSU.

Agree. Supersu is faster in granting permissions on every boot and is considered better suitable for OS JB and above

I also just rooted using this method - works as advertised. Simple. All set for custom ROMs now.

Can you root again as per the link in my previous post and then install supersu from playstore. Supersu will detect superuser and it will ask to delete it. This is how I did.

Open up a terminal app (say, Connectbot), Connect to local. When you get a $ prompt, type 'su'. If you get a # prompt, you're rooted.

Glad it worked I haven't tried changing recovery yet, sorry not in a position to comment.
I am experimenting with root apps now, will wait for sometime to try mods...

You can use SuperSU and there's nothing wrong with that but there's also nothing wrong with Superuser.
It works fine for new versions of Android, in fact it is what is built into CM11.
I think people are confusing the Superuser I included with the old Superuser made by ChainsDD. I included Superuser by Koush/Clockwork Mod because it is open source and used by CyanogenMod.
When it comes to an app that is so important to maintaining security then I stick with open source.

This is exactly what I was thinking while reading through this thread. Can't wait to see CM11 on the G-Pad, even though mine won't come in until Monday. Damn winter weather.

Fair enough, i have cyanogen in my samsung tab 2 and i never experienced any issues about it, and neither in my gpad. Thnx for clarifying this!
Hi everybody, I noticed just now that these four applications have appeared, I never install by myself, they can not be uninstalled (they seem to be system apps), the device isn't rooted I do not understand how they can be installed.
I think they are comes from the last OTA update that I made tomorrow morning (ND3)
Nobody knows what they are?
Thanks in advice and sorry for my bad English.

As freegalaxy stated, best bet if your not rooted is to disable the apps on the apps manager, i usually get 2 or 3 bloatware apps on the RU firmaware and since im not rooted i pretty much just disable those apps and i dont need to worry anymore.
Did you change the CSC?
when you change the CSC some new apps may appear.
Im running the stock rooted ROM on my Vz note 3, no desire to use the ROM slot overlay.
I can no longer get SuperSU to update, even with installing the beta versions.
Does anyone have a fix?
Thanks

Nope, I'm not using safestrap. Just running the native rooted ROM.

Use root explorer or the equivalent, go into /data/app and locate eu.chainfire.supersu.apk and if you have the pro version, locate eu.chainfire.supersu.pro.apk (there may be a "-<number>" before the ".apk) and tap on them and you should get asked if you want to install or view. Install each.
That should fix the problem.

I did that, and it reinstalled/updated the current install, but I still cannot update. Is there a step I'm missing? I'm worried I'll need to factory reset at this point.
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Free mobile app
I'm having the same issues. I have even tried to install different SU apps to see if I could make it happen that way. Still no luck and I've done all of the above aside from factory reset...something I DON'T want to do...

Your best bet is to install safestrap and flash a supersu package. Then uninstall ss if u want. Towel root is a temporary fix imo.
Check your /data/data folder and /data/app (/system/app if you've converted) and check for duplicates or what number beside package name (e.g. com.xxx.xxxx-1 or -2 and sometimes even 3 and 4. Rename it to have a -1 and then go to /data/dalvik-cache and find the same package(s), delete them and reboot. If still unsuccessful, reflash from safestrap but manually mount system b4 flashing just for the hell of it and after second boot-up (if required), you should be good. Erase any .txt or the like from sdcard and extsdcard volumes from chainfire or supersu too I almost forgot to add
Got it to finally update binaries....upgrade your SU to Beta version 2.13. Works like a charm and snappier!
Just want to say thank you to everyone who replied with great suggestions, unfortunately none of them worked. I did however stumble on a fix. I downloaded mobogenie , and when it went out to look for app updates, it had an update for superSU that the play store did not show me. I ran the updates and now we're good.
Hope this fix might help others who are stuck in the same boat.

Thanks for the tip. Technology is complicated, it is weird how a random app like that will fix something.
My superSU actually works now, one day it just asked to update and it actually worked! I think that was after another fresh factory restore and towelroot.
Anyway, good luck!
Play store has a version that works fine now. Version 2.16
As the title says, any fix for this?

i dont have issue regarding this. after root i restored all my apps using TB. no force close so far. accept game hacker and all xposed apps.
I have same problem!
Any fix!
Seem no one care this topic . I have the same problem
There was an issue of fc last time on kitkat. There is an app called tb restore fixer in playstore to resolve that issue. Maybe you're using an older version of tb?
Sent from my SM-N9005
Could be, or maybe the restoration procedure is wrong. After a fresh ROM installation you can't/ shouldn't use the TB's Restore everything feature, you will have to use the restore missing apks only feature.
Just a Q , you upgraded your device from Kitkat to LP ? If so , that seems to be the issue.
Hi Y'all.
I just did the exact same thing. Restoring a KK backup on LP that is.
I've had maybe a handful of apps force close on me.
Removing and reinstalling fixes the issue.
I know - it isn't exactly what was intended, but a handful out of maybe 250 apps is still a huge time saver.
Regards
Elo.

Running Resurrection Remix on my G900i...
Using several root apps w/o issue.
Don't think Busybox is installed on Rom?
Seems strange that it wouldn't be i.e. if it was needed think dev would put it in ^^
Question: is it really needed?
TBU - didn't seem to need it... (Tried TBU to freeze some stuff, can't freeze on free = uninstalled).
Tried Flashfire and it said I wasn't rooted (but I am) thinking this could be down to BB perhaps not being installed.
Any advice welcome (helpful o/c)
