(Q) Rooted but no root access ?

I have juwe's 2.3.4 rom and my phone is rooted but when I try to use root explore or system app remover they don't work. Root explore just crashes (the main music player also recently began doing this) and system app remover only allows me to remove installed apps, when I go to system apps it doesn't load the apps. I wanted to go in there to uninstall the music app and install a new to fix the problem.
Thanks for any help.

Go into recovery and apply the permissions fix.

I tried that too... no improvement.

This is probably a silly question. But do you have superuser? Or did u update it to the latest on the market?

Yup, came with the rom. I didn't update it tho from the market but the superuser claimed it granted access.

apps that need root access like adfree works perfectly, maybe it's something to do with my file system ?
Could it be the rom itself blocking me from accessing it ?

You can't.
The history of everything you download stays on their system permanently.

is there any expert out there can help me out..

Those apps listed in the downloads section are apps you've already purchased. They will appear there always. It doesn't mean they are installed on your device. You're logged into your Samsung account.
If you want to hand it back as new, then do a factory reset, make sure you include to format sd storage, and when it reboots displaying the Android guy and asks for google account, leave it, don't sign in or setup. Done.

This could be the solution to your problem, factory reset doesn't wipe the internal or external sd

I don't have a pc but someone posted else where this statement:
Connected to KIES...logged in...choose my download. Right click on the apps and chose delete...done.
Hopefully this might help, unfortunately Kies for mac does not support the app portion.

Choose on my downloads? You understand what im trying to remove?
Im trying to remove the apps in samsung apps downloads list. But i have alraedy uninstall those apps.now what i want is to remove the apps in samsung apps downloads list.

yes, you downloaded apps at one point and even though you have wiped the phone, the downloads still show in the samsung apps downloads. I was just suggesting what someone else wrote to the exact same problem. I admitted I had no way of verifying it, so I was only trying to help as it seemed pretty easy to connect your phone to a pc to see if it actually removed it from your account thus removing it from the downloads section on your phone.

But there's no donwloads in kies, i tried it.. so how?

first,do you know cwm?
if yes,go to cwm,and then take a backup (just in case)
after that,go to advanced,choose clear dalvik cache,then reboot.
if your linked apps doesn't appear,go to link2sd and then re-create mount script.
dalvik cache consuming some internal storage though.
in my friend's phone,clearing dalvik could free 10mb

pal if u dont have problem on factory reset do that....

First, know what rom are you using. If it is Stock then that's normal.
If it's custom, tell us first so we can sort this out.

Dear All,
Thanks for your Help. I have tried all those methods you have mentioned. And I didn't get any result. That's why I have asked your suggestions. It will be better if there's any other way without factory reset.
Btw I am useing Creed Rom V3.5 with Deepak Joshi's ICS trans theme. and I use clean master for clearing cache, well I used 1tap cache cleaner all.
Umm! what can I say more?
Thanks buddy for your valuable suggestions.

hi dude, this is great, so can you make an scrip that just have the esential gapps? just like if we install the "minimal gapps", if you can do it, i have another question, this will break OTA updates? thanks!

Yes because you have made changes to the system. Any missing files will prevent you from applying OTA updates.
BTW why not just use the built-in method of disabling apps in Android? Once they have been disabled and you reboot they won't be launched, won't take up resources etc etc. Deleting them from the system is just daft since you cannot reclaim that space for your own files.

Is space from deleted apps really not reclaimed? That's strange...so for example the 5,52 MB available (or better the free MB amount of those 5,52) won't increase after deleting built-in apps?

Just disabling your apps won't free much internal memory as deleting apks will.

Deleting apps on the /system partition will not give you any additional space on /data either, so there is no point in deleting them. Disabling them is the more logical way if you want to get rid of them.

The internal memory and the /system are two separate partitions. You cannot access the free space on /system unless you are rooted (and you have limited use of it even if you are rooted, for example you can move apps there with titanium backup, but cannot use it for storing media files).

Great! Works perfectly.
The general performance is slightly improved, and the battery life is better than stock. With the Faux123 kernel, the battery life (if correctly configured) is impressive.
Thans a lot.

Which apps are being the deleted exactly? (Did i miss a post about that?)

Foreground apps crash with no errors

Hello
I have this problem. whenever I open play store and apply updates or install new apps, the play store crashes and the updates are interrupted until I re-open it and resume the update manually. This doesn't seem to happen when the updates are done in the background automatically without opening the store first. I have already tried uninstalling, deleting cache and data, reboot etc. but the problem persists.
I have the Samsung Galaxy note 3 SM-N9005 LTE version with rooted kitkat 4.4.2

I see that very few people have this very annoying issue
I just don't want to resort to factory reset. I mean I know it will probably fix it but I just don't feel like setting my phone up again from the start which is time consuming, besides, what would be the purpose of this wonderful community if all problems were solved by wiping up one's phone.
I was wondering if the cause could be some poor memory management or bad cleaning/anti-virus apps interfering with the memory management I mean I am a complete noob in terms of android management but I assume when there are multiple apps being downloaded/updated at the same time it must consume a great deal of resources but for an app to crash without even the popup message that says "....has stopped" I have never seen before

Maybe you try to get a appstore.apk, delete your's wipe Cache and then install the apk.
I would also recommend data wipe though cause with backup (I use titanium) it'll be less time consuming than everything else. Just backup user data and you won't have to set it up again. The thing is it's not guaranteed that the problem lies within playstore and since we don't have your phone in our hands it is nearly impossible to point you to the exact fix.

well... speaking of backup I also use titanium and nandroid, thank god for that because earlier I tried something stupid (suggested here on XDA though) I cleared the app store cache and data which is fine because I did it before with no problem but then I cleared the google services framework data/cache, I wish I hadn't because it literally messed everything up. I was unable to connect at all to the store even though I had a good network connection. thank god it worked again after I restored the app/data
I can live with that issue. it's not such a hassle since I usually check the play store for updates every day at least. but I may try your first suggestion though. thanks 4aces

As you wish b careful though. I think (definitely not 100% sure) you have to put the apk file in device/system/apk with es file Explorer or root Explorer and than put the permission to rw rr.
That's why I recommend full wipe.

thanks for the link. maybe I could try to update it as my version is 4.6.17 which is older than 4.8.19 and see if there is a change. One thing I don't understand is that one can only disable it and not uninstall it so does that mean it's a system app even though it's not in the /system/app folder? should I convert it to user app with titanium prior to update?

From what I read so far it is implemented in system and not so easy to mess with. In the link above is a link back to xda. It'll be best if u read it.

One more suggestion. Try to open application manager in settings and select all. Look for download manager and clear the cache then reboot.
If it doesn't help wait for other replies or wipe data will have to do the work.

I tried that but didn't help. then I tried to update and move to system, made it even worse as play store crashed as soon as I hit the update button. Reinstalling the app wouldn't help so I had to restore a nandroid backup. I'm giving up now but won't waste time doing a wipe data because it's not a real issue since I'm able to update anyway by hitting the button and close play store right after. All my apps still update in the background anyway
