With the impending Froyo Release ive reinstalled my bloat.. Now I cannot remember for the life of me, Was Need for speed in the system apps that I would need to reinstall it and lock it up with Root Explorer??
I don't think it was because you are able to uninstall it without root via Manage Applications in Settings
Yeah I upgraded without NFS with no problems
Was just looking at the b&n update(s) and trying to understand what it is that it does that removes root access? Is it simply the act of resetting the permissions on the superuser program (su.apk)? Or does it have anything to do with u-boot.bin/uImage/uRecImg/uRamdisk/uRecRam? Or both?
Does the same problem occur with regard to the google apps where the permissions get reset on those as well?
Noob here. I easily installed apks from homebrew to Angry Birds via browser. I dont understand why I need root? Can't we have just bunch of usefull and free apks published somewhere and have all the goodies we want?
I have 2 days old 6.2.1 not rooted.
TIA.
You don't need it unless you want to install the Android Market or any app that requires root access such as AdFree.
EDIT: And of course if you ever want to install a custom rom.
Adfree is great! Also, with a rooted Fire, I can connect to wifi anywhere via my cellphone.
Hello to everyone,
I own a Galaxy S5 G900F, (Unlocked Variant).
I have downloaded and installed LOLLIPOP AMBASADII.ODEX.V6.1 ROM with Aroma Installer and I am using Amplitude Kernel.
The rom came pre-rooted, with SuperSU Installed. I Only updated the app from the PlayStore. The program DID NOT prompt me for Binaries Update. I also have BusyBox installed.
When I check the root status with Root Checker, it says Success, which means there is root permission. Also, I checked it with Platinum Backup, and it also gives permission for root access. Finally, I downloaded a Root Browser, and that works fine as well.
The problem is with value-changing apps like game killer, game cih, haXplorer and game guardian. Although they prompt me to give permissions, and I chose "allow", none of them is able to work.
In game killer, it says "root privilage is needed"
In haXplorer, as soon as I open it is says "shutdown"
In game guardian, the program auto closes instantly.
All the above issues have to do with proper root Access.
So, how is it possible for programs like FX File Explorer (root), titanium (root), root checker and others to have root access, while others don't?
I would really like your answer on this, as I am trying for one week to solve this issue with no results.
Thank you.
Once you get root access, it is sytem wide, not by app.

Thank you for the reply. Yeah I know that, so what should be the problem?
Maybe you need an app to hide or cloak root status.
That such thing exists for Xposed framwork, but thus it is not comparible with 5.0 TW ROMs, you will have to downgrade back to 4.4.2 in order to use it.
Since we now have sort of root I wanted to have a thread where you guys could list all root apps you use and what they do.
When I used to root and do custom roms the apps I would use was adaway,root checker,sometimes titanium backup,and xposed with some tweaks.
The reason I made this thread and I hope someone else didn't make one if they did (mod close this) was to know which root apps you guys use with temp root (until we get perma root) which at this point I think we will have soon.
When I have time I can add lists of apps you guys use or suggest here in OP.
Thanks!
** List Of Apps :
Root Checker - Checks to make sure root works
Titanium Backup - Easy way of remove bloat apps
I was able to use AdAway/AdFree successfully, however on reboot the host file was reverted back.
