I don't need it and it's annoying to manually clean up all the time. Someone help?
Help please. I've got a custom kernel so have done a manual update to 4.3 but I keep getting a notification to do the OTA update. How do I stop this happening?
I could disable notifications for Google Services Info but that would hide notifications I'd probably want to see.
I could disable a system update app but there is no app matching that description in /system/app
Any clues gratefully received.
Thanks
Nick
Hello there guys.
My work's wireless network requires the installation of a certificate to be accessed, which is a .p12 file. I have such a file and the key to access that were used on my notebook, so I tried installing it on my phone to see if it could access the network.
Turns out it still requires some access info I'm unsure about, so I gave up on the idea. Thing is after installing this certificate the phone required me to draw a pattern or a set a code to access the phone, and tbh I was keen on having no security at all.
Now I can't enable lower level security unblocks on my phone, and I can't find where I could uninstall this certificate to remove this lock.
Does anyone know where I can uninstall it, or where I can find the file inside my phone? It's not on the root of the phone anymore.
I have an unrooted GT I9505 (and plan to keep it that way). Thanks!!! :angel:
Hi admins, pls delete this post. I just found out how to do it
Had to go through security and then clear credentials.
Sorry for bothering.
Hello!
So I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900i)
I flashed the kltedd .tar.md5 file through odin (downloaded the .tar.md5 file through Chainfire's CF Auto Root Website)
Everything worked, after going through the whole process my phone rebooted and everything seems normal.
All my data has been preserved and it all works fine.
The only problem is to check that my phone actually has root access I need to download one of those root-checker apps from the play store, but I need to sign into my Gmail account to get to the play store in the first place.
I just wanted to know if it is safe to log into my gmail account on a rooted device - is it possible in any way shape or form that I might have a sneaky keylogger or some spy-ware that could potentially see my Gmail password?
Any help would be appreciated
Sincerely, a noob to XDA Forums.
If you have rooted then there should be a SuperSU app or similar, and when you enter it it should tell you somewhere if root is working fine.
There's an easy way to check for root, which doesn't involve any app, but you need to be able to connect the phone to a PC and you will need USB drivers, and to get your hands on adb.exe (or android-tools-adb package on Linux). Assuming you've done that:
* Enable developer options. (Settings > About Phone, tap Build number 10 times, you will get a popup telling you that Settings > Developer options has appeared.)
* Enable "USB debugging mode".
* Connect via USB to the PC.
* Run `adb devices`.
* You will be asked if you want to accept the debug connection, and possible if you want to enable MTP, say "yes" to both.
* Run `adb shell`.
* Once inside the shell you can type "su[ENTER]". The terminal should freeze and you should get a popup from your SuperSU app asking if you want to grant root access to ADB. If you don't get a popup and "su" fails in the terminal, you don't have root. If you don't get a popup but you get a "#" prompt in the terminal, you have root, but you don't have a root controller app, which is not good (anybody can get root).
Another even simpler method would be to use a terminal app... provided you already have one installed. Most custom ROMs do, stock ROMs don't. Then you just use the same "su[ENTER]" stuff in the terminal.
also, you can bypass the whole thing of logging into your gmail acct and go directly into your phones main screen, go into menu, settings, about phone and tap on the build number until you see the message stating that you are now a developer, back up one step, go into developer options, check the box to allow the installation of third party apps and just download the root checker apk from elsewhere. Sounds compllicated, but its easier than CLI stuff for the uninitiated

also also, ive never heard of anyone getting a keylogger after merely rooting their phones
It's technically possible if you get your "root app" from random websites. It's a golden opportunity for a hacker, you're practically begging them "please exploit my phone, I'm gonna help by running your app and bypassing all safety measures".
security should be fine as long as you dont lose your device or download apps from unsafe sites.
as for whether it is rooted or not, already answered above.
Good to see another aussie here.
I'm still a bit of a noob too but happy to help with any endevours regarding phone, especially model specific ones (I have G900I too).

really mate!?
i have my rooted S5 with my 3 gmail accounts logged in
and i didnt have any secuirty issue at all in past and now
I am trying to spoof (for Pokemon Go) with this phone but in the Developer Settings it just says Allow Mock Locations check or uncheck and it does not give you an option to select the app to mock with like newer versions of android.
My question is can I still use this phone to spoof untrooted by just checking allow mock and use FGL or AppNinja GPS?
or
Should I attempt to root it and then try spoofing? If this, what way of rooting is best? SuperSu/Magisk/TWRP etc.? Any walkthroughs or help with this?
What should I do as far as this phone goes. I am trying to set up this phone for a friend so that they can use it to spoof. I currently use a s6 edge to spoof myself unrooted and it works but rubberbands at times.
Any help, tips and suggestions are appreciated! Thanks in advance!
