On my Verizon Gnex before the OTA to 4.0.4 I was rooted but still on the stock ROM and I ran the Voodoo Rootkeeper to make it easy to get back root afterwards. Once I got the OTA I restored root and the existing programs I had been using still seemed to work, but I was no longer getting screen notifications when one of those apps was granted root. I also applied the few updates to superuser and it's now fully up to date.
Last night I went to the approved apps list in superuser and saw multiple entries for one of my apps, so I figured I'd delete them all and reauthorize it again, but now I never get a prompt to add it, it just fails.
So it appears that either the current version of superuser is hosed or not installed properly. Voodo indicated that root permissions aren't granted in its status screen, but gives no indication on how to fix this. So I'm wondering how I should fix this. Is there a way to uninstall/reinstall the superuser app easily or do I have to go back through some part of the rooting process over again, or should I wipe and flash all the way to stock and start over?
I rooted my kindle when I got it a few months ago, and ran an OTA blocking script, but it auto-updated and removed root anyway. I tried again after the 8.3.1 release, yet I still find I'm on 8.4.1 and root is gone. Obviously, I need to do something different this time.
Can anyone point me to a successful OTA blocking update that I can run when I'm done re-rooting again, please?
And is there anyway to tell my Kindle not to put all of my books into the carousel when it's done reloading them since I don't really want to long-press, remove from carousel, another 982 times? Or is there an option for a quick empty of the carousel somewhere? I've looked and never found anything.
Thank you in advance!
So last night I flashed dottat's RUU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...nt/ruu-vzw-kitkat4-4-3-sense-6-s-off-t2867643) to update my phone to 4.4.3 stock. Usually when I run the stock rom, I try to get rid of all the verizon bloat garbage using root app delete and root browser. Maybe this time I got a little overzealous, because I most recently deleted two system apps: verizon location app, and the verizon cloud sync app. Before I did this, everything seemed to run fine. But after getting rid of those two, everything went haywire. Every few seconds my phone app would crash and it would give me the message that "unfortunately, com.android.phone has crashed"and the display kept flickering on and off. Also, I keep getting a poppup for an app called Phone: HBPCG Current Country" telling me I have not input my country, and asks me to select one from a blank list. After trying a few things, I went into TWRP to wipe the cache and dalvik. Fortunately, that seems to have cleared up the com.phone process from crashing every 10 seconds or so. But I still keep getting asked to select a country from "HBPCG Current Country". Has anybody experienced this or does anybody know how to stop it, maybe by deleting another service? I can't remember ever seeing a "verizon location reporting" app in 4.4.2 so I figured it was more garbage that verizon added to the ROM as needless bloat, and didn't think it would affect other phone services.
Thanks for any help on this, it's really irritating me. If I can't get it resolved I figure I might have the run the RUU again.
I should probably also mention that after wiping the caches, I got the "android is upgrading" bit when I rebooted and it said it was optimizing 67 apps. I'm not sure what that was for since I didn't flash any updates or anything, but I figure maybe recaching some system info since I ripped out so much system bloatware?
Now that santod released stock 4.4.3 debloated you should just flash that ROM instead. Sounds like less of a headache to just completely wipe and go from there.

Verizon Location WAS in fact in 4.4.2, and many services of the phone depend on it and won't function without it…
Hey so I dug up my old Galaxy Nexus and wanted to get it ready for my dad to use. However after booting up when ever I try to do anything (press on an app or the menu) a notification pops up saying " Trebuche launcher has crashed". Rendering me unable to do anything as I can't get into the menu or settings either. I am not sure what to do. I think the phone has some version of Jelly bean on it from Cyenogen mod. It is a while back since I did anything with it.
So before I mess up and brick it I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to go forward with it.
In a crazy coincidence this is exactly the problem I ran into yesterday. I factory reset it in TWRP several times and it always eventually happened again. It may not be related, but it first happened immediately after updating the play store/services and agreeing to the play protect.
This last time I removed the SIM, reset, and reboot it. I immediately opened the play store (without opening the app drawer or trying to click on settings), turned off auto updating, and downloaded Nova Launcher. When you click home it asks which you'd prefer. I was then able to go to settings without any problems.
So far it's been about 45 minutes without crashing and restarting.
LineageOS (the successor of CyanogenMod) has an official build for toro that is currently maintained so after a complete backup I intend to flash it.
Hope this helped
I had an update pushed to my device yesterday and it went through without any issues. So, naturally, went to see if there s any new features and when I open LED Icon Editor, it says I need to do an update there, too, but each time I try, it fails.
Any suggestions?
