Permission request from several application to access my google account

Hi Guys,
I'm running ICS LPY on my phone, everything smooth but I got this strange request that I didn't have on my galaxy S2 running ICS< just now on my galaxy note that I've noticed it.

Do you guys know anything about this? Are these apps safe? I'm not sure why so many things want to have access to my google account anyway :/

has anyone else experienced this or is just me?

Why don't you use LBE Privacy Guard? With it you can determine for every single app what it's allowed to do. It's free and downloadable.on Google Play.

Lbe has security hole when booting up. Plus doesnt work always. Had instances where something blocked got throught. Pdroid is better but you need to build deodexed rom and build own patch.
What did you install that triggered that permission request?

from the official topic with the LPY room

From the pics I can see that these are all Samsung and Google apps ,most of them should have access without even asking you ,so I guess it's either a bug or maybe a virus?
Anyway I think you can safely give these apps permission seeing they are all system apps.

I've installed 3 different AV apps to scan, kaspersky, then avast, then ESET, nothing has been found

as I said ,all of them are system apps ,it's just weird that they should ask for permission .
usually if a system appis asking for permission then it has been modified in some way, like modified google maps .
are you sure it is fully stock? if yes then it could be just a bug maybe?
you could probably solve this by wiping ,but since you are on LPY this has the potential of being lethal to your phone.
my advice is allow them access ,I doubt any harm will come of it.

Yeah those seem to be system app but why on earth LCD test and other apps would want to access your google account?
I suggest flash safe kernel wipe data then re-flash ICS.
Or downgrade to GB wipe data then upgrade to ICS.

GenieGO not supported on security tampered devices

My S4 and S3 both have been rooted, I guess that is the reason why I get this message.
Does anybody know of a quick workaround of this problem?
I and I am sure many others will thank your inputs.
-Marc
P.S. Click here for app in Google Play Store

Does you S4 show "custom" status and the unlock icon? Or does it show "official"?

Could always decompile and remove the check from the code, but that is kinda hardcore, would need to find a smali badass to do it.

Yes when I start up the phone. I used motochop to root.

Just a thought, but if you can get the phone back to saying "official" without the padlock maybe it will work. There are a bunch of threads about regaining official status floating around the forums. Some methods work for some and other methods work for others. It might be worth trying though.

Most importantly: did you grant this application root rights? I once had an authenticator for an online game that asked for root rights. If granted, it complained about the risks of using the authenticator on a rooted system. It was interesting.
Now, otherwise I can't see how DirecTV is checking your device to see if it's been compromised, or "security-tampered" ... Unless it has rights to check that "device status - custom" that the others here are referring to?
If that's the case, it should be easy enough to get rid of the "custom" status by using SuperSU instead of SuperUser. It involves downloading/installing SuperSU, updating it and the SU binary, and then uninstalling SuperUser (the app that comes with Motochopper). A reboot or two is usually necessary.
If you've uninstalled bloatware or installed a custom kernel or rom, you're pretty much stuck with "custom" until we find another way around this.

Same issue here
Won't run on SG3 with Stock Rooted counter= 0 nor will it run on Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 on Cyanogenmod 10.1. Same error message. I assumed Cyanogen would trip but Stock Rooted? DIRECTV will have to address this.

Most of these apps won't run on a rooted device as they are security risks as far as they are concered

As mentioned, it is most likely either directly checking for known superuser apks or binaries or it is checking the "status" to determine if root has been achieved. If it is only checking for "status", then maintaining an "official" status should be enough to get it to run. If it actually checks for root, then the APK will need modifying to remove the check or return a reverse false positive or root will need to be removed.

Since it's a commercial app, IDK about doing that, if it's legal or against forum rules. There is a chrome extension that lets you dl it from the play store via the browser, or at least there used to be if it's been removed.

[Q] Please Check whether my Model is Supported by Region Lock Away App (Image inside)

Hi
Fellow experienced users, please advise whether my phone is supported by Regional Lock Away App?

Only way to know for sure is to try it. It doesn't depend on your Baseband etc AFAIK rather the MPN code.

ok I will follow your advise.
This is the first time I'm using a major android phone so I gotta learn how to root through YouTube and then I'll buy the region unlock app.
I guess I will have to reset my phone to make sure that everything works perfect. I don't have anything saved in my phone so I think it won't matter for me to reset.
If possible if you do not mind and if I'm not asking for too much please let me know any app name of YYouTube video which has got the best and easy explanation on how to root the note 3. I find a lot of videos but not sure which is the most recent and best method.

Before you root, have a read around check out about KNOX etc and how it affects you. - Once you have decided if rooting is OK, head over to CF-Autoroot thread here on XDA by Chainfire, then download Odin 3.07 and follow the guides. Safer following XDA guides.

Everywhere else it means manufacturer part number, I would speculate it means same here?
If you're rooted, why not just try it. If you want to see what's locked get es file explorer and go /system/csc
customer.xml has list of network locks, after running region lock away new customer .XML will have no locks, original is backed up in backup file, if you need to restore it.

Once rooted I'm gonna install regional lock app.

I think ur phone is frm saudi if I m not mistaken, did u try to keep saudi sim for few days in phone & use for some calls?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app

yeah, you need to read about Knox flag and how this could affect you in a future, since there is a good chance rooting will trip Knox flag and it's permanent, no way to reset it yet. Beside delavega there is also Kingo rooting method, much easier, but there were some questions about data security etc. and I'm not sure where it all stands now. My only advice would be read as much as you can and don't rush, you could even brick your phone if you mess up.

[Q] Deleted System Apps Samsung Galaxy S4

Hi,
First off all, sorry for my bad english.
(This is also the first time i post something on XDA)
I've recently (a month ago) buyed a Samsung galaxy s4 GT-I9505. It is a very good phone but when a android phone is rooted it's even better.
So i was searching the web for rooting the S4 and i came out with Towelroot. With this i was able to root my phone.
And of course i was messing around with the root capability's and i've started to uninstall system apps with "System app remover (ROOT)".
And i it did go very well but i want to replace the gallery app with another gallery app so i've downloaded another gallery app.
And i deleted the original system gallery app. And that messed things up. For the one who knows and who don't knows the gallery app manage also the lockscreen wallapaper. i've searched for for this problem a whole day and i found nothing but really nothing.
So i hope someone can help me.
So for short i have deleted Gallery, Camera, Music, Music share
Is there a way to get these apps back (restore from the uninstall app doesn't work) ?
If Yes, how ?
If No, is there another way to change the stock lockscreen wallpaper ?

Hello,
I solved this problem when I installed an old apk of Samsung Health (version for Galaxy S5) and then update app from Galaxy Apps Store

Before it was running smoothely i have never rooted my phone but now samsung health and some other application says that it cant be opened on rooted device, i have also tried your technique it said root access is required to edit system properties...please help
thanks

working in s7 edge. thanks!

Just to let everyone know you can very easily fix this problem, as long as you have a rooted phone, here is another easier way, if you're getting the error message or Knox and cannot access Samsung health because it could say your device is compromised Etc. this is how you easily can fix it.
Download build prop editor, open app, Grant it root access, once granted scroll down the list until you see
"ro.config.tima" , beside this you will see a number 1, edit the number 1 to 0 and save changes and reboot phone.
BADABING BRO!

You have to reroot your phone and fix with build prop.
Once you trip Knox there's no getting it back. But with root at least you can edit values so apps will work again.

Yes but if you're not rooted you shouldn't have the problem in the first place. It is when the phone is rooted, that many people have the problem with Samsung Health.
