hey there,
I rooted my Nexus7 (2012) using WugFresh's Toolkit (it worked, I have root access).
Now I wanted to delete/deactivate some of the stuff I don't want/need like for example the hangouts app using the app "Root App Delete". I can choose to deactivate the app, but afterwards it still works/opens up.
So how do I actually deactivate this stuff?
thanks so much

I personally use Clean Master - Free Optimizer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard). It completely Uninstalls the system apps and not just deactivates them.
I use root uninstaller it will freeze, backup or uninstall apps. So you could backup hangouts (if you were ever going to want it again) and uninstall it or just freeze it to stop it working sometimes you have to uninstall it twice as the first uninstall only removes the updates

has anyone tried this yet and does it work
Yes it does if you're on nc1 firmware

I have tried this and everything says that the phone is rooted, however, when I open apps they are not asking for permission. Is there something else that I need to do? Apps that work only on rooted phones are working fine so I am kind of stumped. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

That's the way it works and part of the reason the exploit is scary, apps don't ask for permission.

I have SuperSu installed and I do get prompts for granting or denying apps permission, but yeah if you don't have a Superuser access management tool, apps are granted root permissions immediately. If you don't want that custom boot logo and that's why you uninstalled SuperSu (if you even had it), you can use Wanam exposed and Xposed framework to fake system status and set it to official.

I have SuperSU installed and that is what is confusing me. Sometimes it asks me to grant permission for apps I open and then other apps will open without asking any permissions.

Do the apps that open without notification need root permission? If they don't they won't ask for it.

Here is what i am trying to do...I used to be able to get music from Google Play to Doubletwist with my rooted phone. I had to unroot it and then root it again. Doubletwist used to ask for permission, however now does not. Nor will the music move over. Long story short, that is what I am working on. Unsuccessfully, I might add. Last time I rooted the phone, I used the SD Card method and this time I used towelroot. Not sure if that would make a difference or not.
Like I've already described much in the title itself, first it was one module then another and now 3rd I don't know why they aren't asking for root access first S View music app stopped, then blurred ui that's when I noticed them missing from Superuser app list and now YouTube Ad away module vanished from the list
I reinstalled the modules, cleared their data even Uninstalled Superuser and reinstalled still not working
Can anyone help me find the problem?

TL;DR Google Play has only the Open option and no way to uninstall app
After updating my I337M from rooted NI2 Kit Kat to rooted OC4 Lollipop, I was unable to properly run Wakelock Detector. It was stock to stock so I didn't wipe factory settings.
Googled a suggestion to move the APK to /system/priv-app so I did that but still the same result.
Now when I want to try uninstall (so as to re-install) there is no option. Under Manage Apps the app isn't even listed. The APK is still under priv-app and I deleted it... still shows up in app drawer.
D'Oh! What else can I do to uninstall it properly?

i have the same problem
so ticked off. same here. even paid for the full version because sometimes that fixes issues like this. I can disable or freeze with titanium backup pro but can't uninstall. i think the problems happened after converting to system app. so now I have 2 frozen apps I want off my phone. On top of that the app stopped working after converting to system app. I get an error after the app loads. I emailed the developer and am waiting to hear back.
This days the application App2SD is able correct install Wakelock Detector as private , and it is able to uninstall it if it was installed as private .
Just wondering if it's possible to hide root from the bar lays banking app - whenever I tried a while back it wouldn't work, just wondered if it's possible now? Thanks
