Easiest way to remove basic superuser and install superuser elite? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it as easy as uninstalling the first .apk in the system folder and reinstalling the new one back in there? For some reason I don't know if that will work just that way with superuser.

Uninstall super user go to market purchase superuser elite and enjoy ??

Yea I thought I tried this like a year ago and stuff got messed up. Maybe I didn't change the properties after installing it and moving it into the system folder (with root explorer) but something didn't work.

Actually I may have been mistaken it might be just the unlocker you have to purchase on top of the basic app.

Dude you want the pro version well idk if it requires an unlocker or there is another standalone app for it but download from market "fast uninstaller " and delete the Super User app and install the other pretty easy..

Superuser elite just installs on top of superuser. It unlocks extra features. Not useful without the basic superuser.

App to change build prop

So I need to download some jap games
I need to change my build prop to a jap phone such as an xperia. I plan to use market enabler to change the market to docomo
Anyone know an app that can change the device type in my build prop back and forth so I don't have to mess with ADB ?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I haven't tried it on the E4GT, but Blade Buddy has a prop modifier. It's free on the market.
Root explorer will allow you to do it make a back up by rename it to buildprop.bak then copy it and change it but name it to buildprop again ...

its not on the market but it can be downloaded from amazon app store. its called market explorer. you can change your market to a bunch of different ones.
Don't know that "Jap" is the proper nomenclature lol

There's one called PropModder that works great on the NS4G....not sure about E4GT. It may be free if you can hunt it down on XDA otherwise its a buck or 2

i just did it manually recently to get 50gb of storage on box.net...had to make my phone look like an lg...anyway hit up
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386159
for instructions to change it manually using root explorer just read through the first post on how to change it to an lg...and im sure u can follow the same instructions to turn it to a "jap" phone...in the very least you can follow the instructions to get free 50gbs of storage
if u need an app you can use system tuner or rom toolbox or root tools or like i said root explorer
Rom Toolbox is probably the best app for something like this.
Absolute System has a prop editor integrated on it.
Prop modder on rootzwiki
Rom Toolbox has a build.prop editor along with other goodies =D.

I have the pro version...but I hate its backup feature and everytime I install that app it starts automatically backing my apps up even when I tell it not too...
Titanium is much better they should just give it up
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Always edit your build.prop manually with root explorer fist. That way a backup of the original is automatically saved. Cal me crazy but I don't trust an app to backup anything system related.
Well you are not crazy, just a little bit contradictory.

Removable bloat ware ICS

Now that we have achieved root in ICS , shall we start a safelist of stock apps we can remove without ill effect?
feel free to submit your list. crossix you might already have a safe list and would love it here if you see this thread
I just rooted today but am at work so I will edit my post later with my list once I can take a closer look.

Why not just use ICS built in disable app functionality? I have disabled a number of apps and it seems great!

well i always have been more of a fan of using titanium backup to completely get rid of bloat. also i dont believe you can disable a system installed app even with root. titanium can delete anything :-D

I didn't think there was too much bloat on the A100, even with the ICS upgrade, apart from Aupeo, Acer Media and a couple other apps I barely notice them. Nigh on a stock build, thankfully
What apps did you uninstall and how did you get them uninstalled? I just uninstalled several of them with Titanium Backup, but when I rebooted they were still there. Some of them I was not able to uninstall, error message Cannot remove system app. Failed to locate the apk file.
Use Root Explorer and delete the applications contained in the location: /Flexroom.

Change superuser apps to SuperSU and use it's temp unroot feature. Also if you do so make sure you update SuperSU's binary's before you delete superuser

It sort of did that... it said supersu needs to be updated. Didn't mention the binaries. When i opened the settings and didn't see the option, i figured that was the case but I wanted to be sure before I removed the old su
Thanks for verifying it for me.

I read the reviews and that's bull. There's no reason to keep rooted users blocked. Just rate it a 1 star and move on. Hopefully they'll see the error of their ways and revert the change.

Bloatwave removal app

I am looking for an app that can remove some system bloatwaves and I hav been using some apps in the play store but didn't work on my n7 so could anyone provide an app that could remove n7's bloatwaves?

What bloatware do you think is in your Nexus 7 anyway? Just disable them using the built-in mechanism, no need to remove anything.
Yea I've compiled aroma installers just for removing bloatware but this is usually carrier related garbage or touchwiz/motoblur/sense stuff. None of that exists here so I wouldn't even spend the time creating that. I don't think there is any bloatware here just maybe "unwanted" apps. which once rooted can be easily removed or just frozen/disabled.
where are bloatwares in a stock jellybean rom?simply deactivate what you don't want\like..no need to cancel..for example a rom like bamf has built-in the tool to deactivate system\apps.very usefull for a person in yours position..
As a matter of interest what apps/files can be frozen via titanium? Anyone got a list of which are safe to remove?

I'm interested in this too. My device isn't yet rooted. You can force stop apps from settings but I believe they start up again at reboot which is annoying. Maybe time to root my device!

NO! There is a Disable button on the same screen with the Force Close that disables apps since ICS.

Cydia Substrate for Android

http://www.cydiasubstrate.com/
for Android
Supported on versions 2.3 through 4.2,
including Kindle Fire, CyanogenMod, and Intel.
While Android itself is "open", the devices that run it often aren't. Before installing Substrate, you will first need to get root access on your device.
Depending on which device you have, and which version of Android, this process differs; we therefore can't provide a simple recommendation.
Once you have root, you will need to install our APK, run the application, click Install, and grant Superuser access to Substrate when prompted.
Interesting

@jd14771: In the play store description it says:
Users should keep in mind that Substrate includes a safety feature: by holding down the volume-up button on your device you can disable Substrate while it is attempting to load these modifications (such as while it is turning on and starting); this will give you an opportunity to use Google Play to uninstall things that might be broken.

Ya I installed winterboard which is a tool that lets you make theme changes and stuff on the fly. Looks like it still has a ways to go. After I uninstalled Cydia Substrate and winterboard my network came back online.

Right now its more of a beginning step this is going to be awesome once it gets up and running well. All the mods you want all in a app not having to browse throughout xda forums or google play I say bring cydia to android. After all the more options the better no? If you don't like it just don't use it lol
Also when I used my network worked fine I was on liquid smooth ROM may 3 or 5 build not sure anyways winter board wouldn't open up however. Back on cm10.1 and haven't tried it again don't plan on till it gets updated

Could be something to do with HTC sense ui try uninstalling cydia and then installing it again and see if that works. Don't know what else to tell you other than to wait for an update

Plain and simple...any type of "app store" shouldn't require root. Huge red flag there.

It modifies the system to run mods. That would be hard without root

If you guys are wondering why the app would need root, just email the developer using the link in Google Play, and ask him/her....
