You can use antivirus apps from playstore. They are working without root in most cases.

Please don't bump here.
You should install some antivirus apps from playstore(yes, they scan for malware too, just search for it) and you're good to go.
You can also do a factory reset which wipes your data partition.

It's not meant to be an apk that you install onto the phone.
(1) Download the file onto your PC and unzip it.
(2) Enable USB Debugging mode on your phone.
(3) Connect the phone to your PC.
(4) Click on the "SuperOneClick" file in the unzipped folder.
(5) Click on the "Root" button.
(6) Wait until it says that root is successful.
(7) Unplug your phone from the PC and manually reboot it.
(8) Your phone is unrooted!
thanks, I will get a laptop from my work this evening and try.
So (yes I am a noob) should I downloading this file on the phone or on the computer??

You should be downloading it to a PC and running it from there.
Oh, I forgot to add that you need to reboot your phone manually before it is detected to be rooted.
okay;
thank you

Permission Manager - Non-Rooted

Hello
Found an interesting tool on Google play today that can remove unwanted permissions that a non rooted user has to accept in order to install any app. its uninstalling the app when we edit permissions and then install it again. Not sure how this is working. Can any expert review and suggest if it is safe to use this application.

Thanks

Its working fine on my Note 2 (GT-N7100) on 4.1.2 ... but after i modify the permissions i don't see the application in my Google play "installed" section but can see in "all" section. so i am assuming it will not offer any updates incase the developer releases any update?
is there a way to deny specific permissions to a application and still able to update applications incase developer pushes any update ?

Autorun management on Android Lollipop

Ever since updating my Nexus 5 to Android 5.0, I've found that you can't manage startup. I tried Clean Master, Autostarts, and Autorun Manager, but none of them works.
Please assist me in finding a solution. Thanks.
Anybody? Well, can the "Autorun" in the thread title be changed to "Startup" at least?

you can use app ops, the lastest version can do that
Do you mean the one by Lars Team? I just tried that, but disabling an autostart doesn't stick, it's enabled again when I recheck.

Yeah, the settings don't stick for me either, at least the auto start.

you can use this app to remove the permissions and it does not require root too..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.heagoo.apkpermremover&hl=es_419
Does that manage startup entries? Doesn't look like it, and App Ops seem to manage permissions fine.
Greenify?

You can remove the unnecessary permissions like boot with the phone...
Greenify is an option, but I'd rather not depend on another running process... Oh well, have to make do with it for now.
Just tried APK Permission Remover. It requires you to uninstall, then reinstall the app. Too much trouble keeping up-to-date.
Simply deactivate the app.

Just flash Pie Patch
you should just flash the pie patch via recovery, it solves a lot of the problems root apps have in lollipop, including the startup one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/fix-bypassing-pie-security-check-t2797731
Sounds risky and unclear, maybe someone else can try?

I agree, you should try it first, let us know how it goes...
What do you know, they just started working again for me... Didn't patch anything, just updated normally.
Autostarts has been updated to support lollipop.
Kingroot, but its also do more than I need.

Use adb
Use Package Disabler Pro for LG (on Play store)
Not 'deleting' exactly but this is good because you can restore them easily whenever you want to, which is a lifesaver. No PC required!

Help debloating

I want to remove Mi Feedback on the stock ROM as I don't feel comfortable with the data collection. Can I use this method https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
without breaking OTA updates?
Did you read it? It says:
Therefore, even if you “uninstall” a system application using this method, you can still receive official OTA updates from your carrier or OEM.

Thanks for your help, I tested if OTAs work and they install just fine, may I ask what does PAI do for you to want to uninstall it? According to what I've read all it does is install the mi apps from the playstore and define the home screen layout.
