How to remove BitDefender Anti-Theft application from Samsung Galaxy S2
Presuming you have BitDefender Anti-Theft application with password enabled:
1) install Root App Delete from Google Play on your phone.
2) Open the Root App Delete application and select the BitDefender Anti-Theft application and click on Uninstall button. It will prompt you that in order to be able to uninstall this app, you need to remove its Device Administrator rights. This application might take you to the Device Administrators settings but if it doesn't then go to: Settings -> Security -> Device Administrators.
3) There you will find the BitDefender Anti-Theft application enabled through a radio button. Unchecking that radio button will prompt you with a pop-up to Deactivare it or Cancel the action. Click on Deactivate.
This action will open the BitDefender Anti-Theft application prompt asking you for the PIN you setup earlier in order to allow you to deactivate it. Just hit Cancel (if the general Back button from the bottom left of your phone doesn't work) and it will automatically skip the PIN identification and it will deactivate the application.
4) Go back and open the Root App Delete application and select the BitDefender Anti-Theft application and click on Uninstall button. This time, will uninstall it for sure
Enjoy.
MENTION: I'm not sure if this procedure requires ROOT. Ive done it on my S2 which is rooted but it might as well work for non rooted devices. Please leave feedback.
Thanks.
This also works on my rooted S4 using normal android uninstall and because of this I won't use Bitdefender aymore. It took me literally 1 min after I've installed the app to figure this out.
Hi,
I've got a problem with the app tasker.
I am rooted without using SuperSU over cm12.1.
Tasker won't detect my root access.
What should I do?
Secure setting plugin is installed...
I've tried to manage the mobile data via secure settings plugin but it doesn't do the trick neither...
any suggestions?
Go into Settings > About and tap the build number several times, until you get a notification saying "You are now a developer!"
Then go back to the main settings screen and look for Developer options. Go into developer options and look for Root acces. Tap on that and set it to Apps. Or set it to apps and adb. Done. Otherwise just install SuperSU from the playstore

I've already enabled root access via CM.
That wasn't the problem.
I found a solution if anyone stumbles on that thread:

Hey, I have a few questions relating with opening intents and checking certain system settings.
1. I'm trying to have my app open to directly to the system unlock styles, so far I can only open to the system security settings, not to the unlock styles
2. I'm trying to have my app open to the notification access settings and close automatically after the user has enabled access. So far I can get the notification access settings to open but I can't check if its enabled (I need to check this as I will use it to prevent the user from skipping the step of the app's setup process)
3. I'm trying to make preferences that have a checkbox/toggle setting and an intent that the user can open

im doing automation testing on a samsung galaxy s6 sm-g920t and for my automation tests to run efficiently i need to delete the setup wizard that is prompted when booting up a phone after a factory data reset
i installed root explorer pro after rooting the phone and went to system/priv-app/SecSetupWizard2015 and deleted the SecSetupWizard2015 folder
after that i factory data reset the phone, waited for it to turn on, and then went to tap build number to activate developer options
but after tapping build number rapidly no message showed up confirming that developer options was enabled
after further observation i ran into a prompt that said "developer options are not available for this user"
this was not the case before i deleted the SecSetupWizard2015 folder in root explorer pro
the setup wizard is a big obstacle in the way of my automation tests ability to run efficiently, i need the phone to boot up to the home screen even after a factory data reset no matter what
can anyone help out?
Hi everyone, I've had this Redmi note 7 for a couple of years now. In the last few months its software started behaving erratically:
- Settings app doesn't work anymore, it gets stuck as soon as you open it
- No google apps work besides Google chrome (play store even lists possible app updates as: (, , , , , , , , )
- Keyboard doesn't open
- 3/4 of the installed apps behave like settings does
- Connecting it to a PC doesn't allow you to access the phone memory if not through adb
- Every x minutes a message pops up saying that "The security app is not responding"
Because of the points listed above, it became impossible for me to update the OS from settings and try to fix this whatever is happening. After looking online for a bit I found a guide that basically had this steps:
- Download the update.zip from xiaomi website (Done)
- Move the zip file to the root folder of the phone
- Restart the phone and enter recovery mode
- Select the options "Update from update.zip" or something similar
The problem I have with step 2 is that whenever I try to move the zip, it denies permission. Trying to get in as root throws "disabled in production build" error (I guess because the phone is not rooted).
Is there any way to recover this crippled phone? Has any of you ever witnessed anything similar to what is happening to it? Is there a way to update the OS without using apps/settings or root?
If you need additional info just ask and I'll provide.

What about try to do a factory reset from recovery mode?
