Root Permissions - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have my G2 perm rooted but it seems like every time I start an app or service that requires root the pop-up comes up various times until it finally gains root permission. I hit "allow" every time it pops up but it asks a few times before it works. Is this normal? It gets annoying for trying to do a backup with Titanium since it'll ask me to allow for every app it tries to backup and sometimes asks various times for a single app. Thanks for any help.

Try to open your superuser app and tap the setting, at the last line, tap it to let it check the su version and update it.
I did these to fix the problem which same as yours.
Hope it helpful.

So few days ago my evo started not allowing me to update some apps, and some new apps won't install at all. Funny thing is other ones will.like my calculator app won't update, yet some other apps will.Only thing I get is notice saying, unable to install, and no other info.I havent changed anything, and I'm running a completly stock 2.2 system.so I'm clueless about what's going on.

Try going to settings, applications manage, them go to market. Clear cache, force stop and try again. Mine was doing the same but this fixed it.

There is a bug with the market and google voice interfering with eachother, they both must be logged in to work.
Just open google voice and make sure it is logged in, if it already is log it out and then back in. Should work afterwards.
So I have tried what ppl have posted but no luck. Any more ideas?

I just fixed my friend's Droid X that was doing the same thing. Turns out he had deleted Google Talk. If you did then you need to reinstall it using root explorer, find a download of the .apk off the internet, copy it from sdcard/downloads, go to system/apps, click the little button at the top that says mount r/w, and paste. Run the installer and reboot the phone.
Still no luck, and what is the google talk? I don't have an app. Like that

still looking for a fix, any one have a guide to some common fixs.
Same Problem but can't seem to fix it without flashing a custom ROM...
I can't install most updates to apps or new applications. It usually says "update unsuccessful" or "installation error: unknown reason -18." Any ideas?

How to remove bloat ware from my rooted G2?

I rooted my phone, now how do I remove all this Google junk I don't need?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I'm sure somehow this will offend you, or offend someone else for some reason, but did you try searching? There are several threads and posts showing you how to do it.
No, I don't get offended. Don't even worry about it. Yes, I will do some more searches.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
there are at least two ways that I know of. U can use ADB to remove them while your phone is in recovery mode or u can use Titanium back to uninstall just about any app.

Thank you, I will try this.
I just searched and came up with nothing.

rm -r /system/app/whateverthenameoftheapkis.apk

In adb it would be
adb remount
adb shell
# rm -r /system/app/whateverthenameoftheapkis.apk
# rm -r /system/app/whateverthenameoftheapkis.odex
You could also use Root Explorer (or Android Mate, or SU File Manager), and go to /System/App, or use Titanium Backup, and delete that way. Be aware though, deleting the wrong things could seriously bork your install, causing you to need to relash.
Different ROMs have different methods. For example, is your ROM de-odexed? Are all apps stored in /system/app? I'm working on a script that can remove bloatware. Just trying to iron out the kinks.

I tried getting Root Explorer from a friend, but it wouldn't install.
I can't order from the Market any paid apps because I don't remember credit card info, when will they support paypal or add to your bill?
None of these apps are under system/app
Titanium Backup doesn't even work... I say Force Delete and then it says it will restart my phone twice and then it restarts it and it will sit at that screen where like your getting a update for 10 minutes then I click the power button and it says E: can't find signature or somethin' like that, so I select restart and I'm back to square one...
I am running the stock ROM.

I hope this thread is a joke? and it should be in general.
Use adb and use pm uninstall.
Or...more simple than anything... grab titanium backup and just pick and choose ANY apps you want to get rid off without doing any extra steps...

Ok...I must be retarded...but I can't figure out how to delete protected apps "bloat ware" using the free version of TI backup
Posted from my HTC Vision via XDA App
I really think you need to do some reading and learning before you start jumping into this. From ur posts u obviously have no idea what you are doing and need to know before you ruin your phone. Apps arent just labeled as you see them in the phone. If u can't figure out how to delete the stock apps you don't want there's no was your goining to figure out witch apps are witch in the system folder. And if you delete the wrong one ur effd. No offence or anything just read up and take notes then jump into it. oh ya post in the rite section
No offense taken. Still learning. Google is my friend I figured it out
That's why I love this community...lots to learn and always to better my knowledge and of course lots of helpful people.

What I did...was in TI Free...hit the "problems" button and it will ask if you want to load busy box...
Do it
Then it will list all your apps
Find the one you want to delete...press and hold
It will pop up a window and on the end of that window list there is a option to force uninstall.
That's how I got rid of a few apps I didn't want or need and my phone is running great.
But as the guy above said...be careful.
Good luck

It means something is getting superuser permissions. In SuperSU you can look through the apps you have given permission to. You can then modify their permissions, i.e. block apps. Try blocking apps until you find the one causing problems.
Good luck finding it.

If you have superuser installed, it's a recognized issue with the developer.
Short story; root isn't sticking at boot.
You can open up the app and make sure binaries are updated or you can just apply the supersu apk. Supersu will take priority for root permissions and it doesn't hurt anything running both.
If you have supersu installed and superuser doesn't apply to you, open supersu and ensure binaries are updated.

Do you have an app the requires Superuser that refreshes after a certain interval? That could be doing. I think Juice Defender has an option for rooted users that can scan for data, wifi, etc. after certain intervals. Just an example that you might be able to compare to?
I figured it out guys. Thank you so much for your help!!

Google now no longer does the following:

So for a little while now I've noticed Google now is no longer doing the things it use to:
1. It use to notify me how many minutes home is from my current location. It no longer does.
2. It use to notify me how many minutes an appointment was and when I should leave to be on time. It no longer does
3. Listen to/play <song title> use to play music on my device or YouTube. This no longer works.
Anybody know why these stopped working?
I'm on stock (Rogers ) ROM with all apps up to date.

Just an idea, maybe you did this but if not its worth a try. Go into settings/application manager/google and hit force stop. Now clear cache, data, and defaults. Now hit uninstall updates, and when done re-install the updates and run app. This should give you a fresh start I believe and this could allow you to set all your options over and give you the origional operation you had before. Im not a pro so I cant guarentee this but it cant hurt, its not a dangerous operation anyway. Good luck!

[Q] how to stop autostarting app

Hi,
Anybody can help me? My battery is getting crazy drained from unwanted autostarting app, especially Chinese ones.
I thought it was too easy using just the auto start app manager in the phone settings.
I successfully rooted (double checked with root checker) using the guide found in this same forum than I tried different third party autostart app manager but all without success
After granting SU permission the most of the app says that the procedure is successful but just seconds after the apps I disabled are already back in the running app list.
The weirdest thing happens with Clean master, after granting permission and while is working it tells me that the app itself couldn't succeed and the only thing that suggests is to grant permission in the SU app that obviously has already.
What can it be the problem?

I'm not sure, I'm not using such apps yet. Are these apps lollipop compatibles?
BTW I've checked one thing on the m9+, slightly related, that /system modifications stick or not with the default kernels we have, and luckily the Write protection on an unlocked device is not present. So we don't need write protection cracking kernel module like on m9. I've tested this with AdWay rooted app, and it modified the /system/etc/hosts file and it sticks after reboot.

I downloaded all of them from the play store or the app market already installed in the phone so I guess they all are…
Didn't check In the specifications though…
I'm using Ad block plus and that seems to work properly without problems

Have you tried Greenify? Lots of people swear by it, though it works best in conjunction with Xposed because then you can hibernate badly behaving system apps.

I tried after your suggestion and seems to work
until I use one of the apps and then it wakes up again all the others (like I am using an app to shop online and it awakes music app,weibo, a Chinese taxi booking app and baidu maps)
Proper Chinese style haha
I'm afraid that exposed is Not gonna work properly at the Moment because I got an error message that says that they don't have (yet) a version compatible with SDK 21 or the phone processor architecture…
Thanks!

Your answer is actually in the question you pose.
Download Autostarts and kill off the apps criteria so that it doesn't start up.
Been using that app for years now, it's superb https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts

There is an alpha that works fine on the M9. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-android-5-1-successfully-t3074586
You need the sdk21-arm64 zip to install the framework, then the Xposed for Lollipop "installer" (which doesn't actually install anything, just manages he modules).
This will let you greenify system apps, which appears to be your problem. Greenify will complain if you try to do it, but it should be fine.
