seriously just run sfhubs 1 click Odin and get root... if there's things you want which require root why not just root as opposed to trying to work around it... it can always be restored to unrooted stock should you ever need to take it into sprint anyway

I don't wanna root... Thats why I'm asking for a way without root
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Some 3rd party SMS apps will display them, like handcent for one, and there are viewers for them available in the market, but to view them system wide root is your only option, or at least the only one that I am aware of, you may want to Google a bit to confirm that... again that said I would just run rooted stock if you want to be able to use/view them system wide... there is no risk of bricking running sfhubs el29 rooted stock Odin one click and it can be easily undone should you ever need to, plus this is xda I'm not understanding the aversion to the simple task of rooting to get something you want to work to work?

I guess I'll just have to root... Is there a way to root without losing any data and still be able to receive official OTA... Also if I change the fonts in the system will that effect the ota process...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
If you use flipfont apks it won't affect the ota
And if you root you can always just go back to stock

After trying to download a theme. I deleted Facebook. When I went to reinstall Facebook from market I get the following error, "package file not signed correctly". So I can't upgrade Facebook from 1.5.0 to 1.5.1. Help please. I tried to clear cache. Still says the same error. Thanks.

You use root explorer to go to
System >app> find face book delete it
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Or you can use, SDX Stock app removal, root explorer never seemed to delete system apps for me, even tho i had it on r/w. SDX is also nice cause it backs it up!
I hardly ever use root explorer just sometimes to save apps for backup off the market..
I completely forgot about that
I'm too used to pushing everything by root explorer

There is no need to upgrade to 1.5.1 there was very minor changes that you won't even notice. That's why I haven't themed it and kept 1.5 in my theme
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I used root uninstaller to delete Facebook. I then downloaded it again. But it downloads 1.5 instead of the newer version. But then the newer version will not install.
Even though I may not need 1.5.1. What id there is a major update in the near future and I cannot update it.
I guess I can wait until the new bonsai comes out.
Thanks everyone.

Is there not a fix for google play movies yet?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
There's nothing to fix. Its specifically designed not to work on rooted devices. If you want it to work, you have to be on stock unrooted rom. Although now I'm curious if it'll work on cm9 now that you can disable root in the developer options

Interesting thank you
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
So this is still an issue? I was having the device rooted can't use google movies on el29. But on both fc22 n 24 it works for me. I thought google probably remove that but i guess not. Im runing fc24 oneclick by sfhub. Maybe it gets broken when u use another recovery besides stock?? I never bothered installing another recovery. Maybe someone should look into it. On el29 i did have rogue recovery installed.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
There is an app called hide my root. Never used it but I assume that will work.
You can use the supersu (can't remember if its free or pro) app to disable root. Then google play movies work.
Apps like temp root remover and hide my root have also worked for me

Those apps don't work in my case

Never mind. To copy apps you need access to the system folder which means you would need to root.

you could odin a custom recovery image, boot into recovery and create a nad of your phone and then dropbox it for safe keeping. Flash the original recovery - i think i saw it in the development threat - and check the flash counter to see if you tripped it... if you did then you'll have to follow the instructions in the dev thread on how to reset everything to stock, it'll take a bit of the search function and some reading but should be releatively easy.
How do I prevent apps from running constantly in the background? And by apps I mean Samsing link, S Health, Samsung Watch On, and Samsung Apps
I'm not rooted, but when I was rooted I used greenify to disable them but now I can't. I'm on 4.3. Also, I'm not looking to uninstall or disable the app, just prevent it from running in the background.
Thanks in advance

Rooting simply allows you to gain super user and control every single aspect of your phone. You can disable battery hogging services to removing preinstalled apps to customizing everything about your phone. Think of your phone as a demo app and root is the premium key that unlocks all the features of the full retail version. ^.^

This.
You can also uninstall SuperUser really easily (there is literally a button in the app settings to do just that). That will unroot your phone and let you get OTA's again in seconds. Then just just have to re-root when you're done the OTA.
This, of course, is if you JUST have the SuperUser app installed as part of your root package. If you have a custom recovery installed that's a different story. You'd have to remove that too.
But if you just root with a method like Chainfire's Auto Root, you will have the stock rom, stock recovery, and can easily ditch the SUperuser app so you can get an OTA whenever it comes out. Since they dont' come out super often, it's not in the way at all. It's not like you'd have to do that every week.
Just some suggestions! Hope they are useful.

Can you link me to chainfires auto root, I can't seem to find it in the development section
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Whatever happened around here? I would have thought someone would have informed the OP that those apps are not "running". Yes they are taking up RAM but this isn't Windows either. The way m we memory is handled is vastly different and in some ways, opposite of conventional Windows thinking. They are not using power either.
I never freeze an app or force kill it unless it causes an issue. If I don't use it - root, uninstall, be happy. I only say all of that so the OP didn't pickup the bad habit of killing apps to regain RAM. Its unnecessary to say the least.

Another thing is that some apps will, by default, execute when opening certain web based applications (FF, Chrome, Internet). Same goes when enabling Wifi.
It does get tedious disabling them all the time if you're someone who wishes to have your device quiet and clean.
I just decided to uninstall them all via Titanium backup...Most of them you can download via Play if you ever wanted them back.
