I know it's a silly question...but the tutorials said I would have a little super ninja icon in my apps after I set up super user. Not there...I want!
(Actually just wondering if anything is missing or if just symptom of Evo's.)
I DO have super user access as I completed root and unlock last night and was in the su a lot trying to find out why stuff wasn't running as smooth as tutorials implied. So I do get logged into SU and I get that # prompt.
I installed one ROM (not sure which) and my SU app icon was just a blue pound sign. But with Fresh I have the ninja.
Not that it matters, it's only in the app drawer, it's not like he stalks the home screen or the notification bar. Although, if he did, would we even know?
So...should I have something that says super user? I don't have any app that says super user. (In another thread today they said to look in app drawer for super user.)
I used the root and unlock process from unlockr.com.
I still have unrooted stock ROM...(no time last night to flash to rooted OTA ROM.)
if you just did the rooting proccess and did not flash a custom rom, then that is your problem. you are on a STOCK rooted rom. was that app there in the stock rom? nope. flash a custom rom or download in the marketplace.

Flashable .zip version of SuperUser v2.2.2.
Download file, place in root of SDCard, and then boot to recovery; flash .zip from SDCard just like you would a ROM and then reboot phone.
Presto.
Newest version of SuperUser app has been installed and ready to roll.

I did too...my real reason for asking was to make sure I didn't miss / mess up something.
Now it makes sense that the stock ROM would not have it as an app. Guess I assumed that one of the eighty files I worked with would have been it......but no.
I get it now. Tonight will be my first ROM on android. Probably do the rooted stock and do a nand backup....then go to damage control since I hear good things about it.
(Really need to figure out odexed and deodexed next I guess huh...)
Ninja come to me......
ps....THANKS for the links!!

Does anyone know of a "1.47.651.1 ROM" that:
• Is rooted WITHOUT Super User(meaning "adb shell" brings up "#", not a "$" and then "su" to get "#")
• Isn't tweaked to hell
• Has working AND updated EVDO & WiMax Radios
That's all I want, but can't seem to find it in this jumble of hacked ROMs and special do-dads.
I think that the "start over with 1.47" thread gets you to stock with everything updated, except that you're going to have superuser access.
It's probably your best bet. Why don't you want superuser permissions?
Because typing "su" an extra step, and it also asks me to give permissions everytime something with root access pops up. So annoying. I just want it to work lol.

It should only ask for the application once. If you don't have it, the application won't run at all will it?

Seems to do it a lot, and even stops me to ask me if certain programs are allowed to communicate with Google servers every so often. Is SU something that is required NOW for a root to work? Because my last phone didn't (Black) didn't have it on there, had 1.47, and rooted fine with the flash exploit method.
It's not working for my white phone though, so I had to use SimpleRoot (which took me back to a WAY earlier version), and flash my way up to 1.47.

I do not have your issues with the superuser permission app. It maintains a list of all allowed apps. Once you ass it as "always allowed", you never see it prompt for that app/function, again.

Does anybody know how to change the status bar from plain white to black?? And I'm looking to do this without adding a launcher..Any help?
I asked the same question in Enom's themed rom thread. You have to change certain system settings if i'm not mistaken. His manup themed rom that runs off the sd card has a black notification bar. It would be amazing if we can change it via a script or something.
i used 2 change the status bar on my g1 2 black whenever the roms had the normal white one. you have to edit the 'framework' (i think thats what it was called) files in a zipped rom file. that was the way i would change them at least.
i havent tried on my g2 even tho i do have temp root. just really havent bothered really and i think it would return 2 the white one after reboot even if the rooting takes place at reboot. dont take my word for this cuz i havent tried but... i dunno... the white one hasnt bothered me much yet. lol.
There are many threads on this. Two main ways use enomthrs manup rom or use metamorph. Both ways have instructional threads in the G2 forums... just search

i manually updated so i cant use Enomthrs Manup Rom until he fixes it, and i have no idea how to use ADB or anything so i am SOL with that... and i have no clue on how to use metamorph so i am going to read some threads about it, but i did download the app from the market and i am temp rooted using visionary but when i go to open the app sometimes it wont open, like today the 1st 3 times i tried to open it gave me an error and when i went to see the error again it worked fine lol

Lookup busybox installer, it's by the same dev as metamorph. That should fix your problem with starting it up. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the morphs to apply though. At the end of every theme install, it syas "reboot required". I know I obviously can't do that because it would be erased, but I tried a "hot" reboot and it didn't work either. I think it's because everything needs to be de-odexed. If that's the case then no themes.
**facepalm**
Click yes. It does a hot reboot not a full reboot.

Well I clicked yes and nothing happened. Actually, the same popup asking if I want to do the reboot again, each time I click yes it pops up again. I tried my script I use for a hot reboot as well as a market app and neither time did the morph apply. Unless I'm missing something then I don't think it works.
It works.... just not great. Try a complete reboot, run visionary, then metamorph, then hot reboot, then all your scripts, then hot reboot (if your scripts require). That's how my setup works everytime from a full shutdown.
I've been using various nexus one metamorphs lately, cool stuff. FYI, the LG Optimus launcher works flawlessly on this phone, that too was also ported and is in the nexus one theme section

Hey guys, im fairly new to the whole rooting and customizing of android scene, but i rooted my epic 4g using the oneclickmethod found here. Everything has gone fine and ive been able to flash multiple roms and try different things out, but today i downloaded the font changer app which then lead me to downloading the busy box app, however i got hung up on the installation of busy box because its saying im not nand unlocked. i assumed that took place with the whole rooting method, is there anything i can do to fix that at all?

I believe No nand unlock is needed, unless it goes through that when rooting. Make sure superuser is up to date. Even try to uninstall superuser and re install. I had the same problem before and am trying to remember what I did. I know I uninstalled superuser & re installed and uninstalled the APP i was trying to get to work and also re installed. So try that and see if it works
Samsung doesn't NAND lock their phones.

i dont mean to sound completely stupid, but how do i go about uninstalling/reinstalling superuser, do i just re-root the phone? Just asking before i try anything so i minimize my chance of bricking, thanks guys.
why dont you link us to the app not working?
If you have a ROM installed chances are that you already have busybox, there that most dev's include it on there ROMs.
I think that your trying to install Busybox in an area of your phone were its currently mounted as Read Only and not R/W. Double check the destination of the busybox installer (it will give you several options) and choose from there.
Hi,
Since i can't post in the thread, so I just highlight in here.
I've been using this rom for about a month. This rom is really nice but since the new update, it gets even better. Only one small thing, the LED flashlight widget in the quickpanel didn't show up although you have tick it in the settings.
That's all. I hope someone could tell this to Spizzy01 so that he can fix this.
Thanks...

Aurora Play Problems
Hello,
I just installed Aurora Play 1.1.0 and I am having problems which I think might be related to superuser.
The Rom works fine, but anything that requires root access gets frozen in place. My phone is rooted, I am pretty sure of it - not only the bootloader is unlocked but also, I did manage to initially change the clock speed to 1.4 ghz, and that change has remained so far.
However, if, for example, I try enabling root access on the ES File Explorer, it simply freezes the app (sort of like it is waiting for the confirmation from Superuser, but it never comes). I only ever saw the superuser authorization screen once when I changed the clock at first.
I am pretty sure the OC is not the problem, since I reinstalled the rom and did no OC on the 1st time at all, but the same problem persisted.
I would try uninstalling SU and installing that other superuser app on the market to see if that would solve the problem, but I couldn't manage to uninstall it.
Any thoughts on this? I would love to solve this problem since this room is outstanding on all other accounts.
PS.: I followed all instructions to the letter, and like I said I tried reinstalling the rom already. I am using Lupus v10 (tried Lupus v11 before on the 1st installation).

Can CWM coexist with TWRP? I think I only have TWRP installed. Or can I just use TWRP instead?
missing pixels in landscape app drawer
Spizzy, first and foremost congratulations on this great rom, it is fantastic! The only gripe I'm having is that when the app drawer is in Landscape mode it is cutting some pixels on the bottom (can't see the lower end of the blue highlight when using the ps controls). Other than that, all is perfect so far.
It worked!
Thanks a lot, Spizzy! Whatever that package was, it worked great and now superuser is not giving me any headaches anymore. Everything works great and the rom is blazing fast!
Just one thing - when I checked the info that comes up on the pachage before installing it, it said it was for locked bootloaders, but I assume that was a typo (since the zip file is for unlocked, and mine is unlocked as well). Just mentioning since it could maybe cause a little confusion on people downloading it in the future.
Oh and I did use TWRP in the end - I guess it's the same thing.
Okay, I want to be out in the open. I have never rooted a phone, nor ever wished to do it for myself. Unfortunately, I have a father who believes everything is a 1-2-3 clicks away from perfection, which is why he prefers not to do it himself.
Anyways, he requested that I root his phone because he believe it will make it run faster
I tried following the steps on this website, from a link which was for the phone SMG-M919(T-mobile S4)(Ver. 4.3) . This is the link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005
So I did finish all the steps required. I got my phone rooted, i checked by downloading "Root Checker". SuperSU even asked for permission, to my limited knowledge that means the phone is rooted.
Anyways, the problem seems to be that when I first opened the SuperSU app, it asked to be updated, it just kept loading and loading, 20 minutes must have passed. The loading screen said it it takes too long, just try again by restarting phone. I did that, but the app never asked me to update again, which is weird. Under the APP or the Logs tab in the SuperSU, it just shows a circle loading pic.
Can someone help me to understand what is going on. Also, apologies in advance if this is the wrong place to post about this in this forum.

Rooting doesn't make your phone faster. In any way. Just gives you "admin" rights to delete crap and change stuff you normally couldn't.
Changing roms and kernels can tho.
You're fine. Make sure it's updated thru the playstore, if up to date and pop up doesn't come back don't worry about it.

Yeah, I definitely know that Rooting wont make it faster ;D but he doesn't despite my nagging.
Anyways, so if I want to delete apps like the T-Mobile App or those Samsung apps, how can I do it
Also, if I click on things like Clear Logs, the loading circle just loads.... never stops.. Is this really how SuperSu functions

Download a file Explorer with root access, I use Root Explorer, but there's free ones like root browser, I think es file Explorer has root, open it up, navigate to system/app delete what you don't want, and go to system/priv-app and delete what you don't want.
You can delete all tmo apps without affecting anything, pretty much all Samsung apps, travel crap, yahoo, etc. Just be careful, delete something like your home launcher you're screwed.
If anything, install TWRP or cwr and make a back up of the system to play it safe.
Or say screw all that, and download a touchwiz rom in Android Development and flash it. If you want latest greatest version both Sickness and myself have some 4.4.4 roms up. Take your pick
Orrrr aosp rom. I don't usually recommend roms but I will say I love nameless rom....
