Hey everyone, most people might already know this, but I think it would be nice to compile everything we can do with our Glide's now that we have root, feel free to add to the list!
1. Install Root Explorer or similar file explorer:
This program will allow you to access areas of the Android file system that weren't accessible before having root.
2. Install Titanium Backup:
This program allows you to backup all of your apps, app data, and settings. great if you are messing around with the phone and run into trouble, just remember to save the backup to another source in case you can't access your phone at all.
3. Supercharge your phone!! (by zeppelinrox)
go and read this thread, follow the steps and see the results! I did this and it worked. Also an interesting read.
What other cool things are you guys doing with root? post it here!
I'm on the same boat with you as root explorer and titanium backup , but never heard of supercharger till now.. I had an HTC Desire HD (still do but never use it anymore) but it wasn't my regular use phone, it was more of a "HTC Player." And I tried the supercharger, but it kept coming up as "[[: not found" which was out of the ordinary. Don't think I'll be sticking with it sadly.
Still have to do that update in an hour, really hate how AT&T doesn't allow you to "update" more than once a day.
I'm still trying to learn the in-out of modding. Not that experienced yet

Hey, did you install BusyBox? I had trouble at first as well, then I installed a different version of BusyBox from the BusyBox installer and I installed it to a different location, Supercharger worked after that

There are two busybox installer programs I use, one is from Stericson, and from JRummy16. JRummy's busybox worked for my SGS Glide, but stericson does not even install. A complete opposite to my Captivate and Infuse, I have stericson's busybox on them but jrummy's doesn't work.
If you don't like to get Root Explorer, try File Expert, it also has root access which can be activated in settings, it also has file sharing like web, ftp(s), http(s). I have both, but prefer Root explorer for it's very basic and easy to use.

Just curious, which supercharge setting are you using?
I tried to get the update first, but "Update is Failed" yet again, and when I tried to do script manager, it said I didn't have root access, so i was confused. Checked titanium backup, no root access either. Then I had to re-root the phone, delete bloatware. I checked titanium backup again but it said I didn't have root access, but everything else did (Script Manager, SetCPU, Busybox Installer). Supercharger is working now though.

Hey, I think the same thing happened to me as well, after successfully getting the supercharger script to work, I went and tried to run the BusyBox installer again to find out the version I installed, and it said "Error Root access not detected"
It appeared I had root in all other apps, so I uninstalled Super User and BusyBox installer, and re installed them, now Root isn't working for any program.

You have to re-root again, sorry Do you still have titanium backup? Because the busybox version for that is 1.18.4, not the recommended 1.18.2. Uninstall titanium before or after re-rooting, and get busybox installer from jRummy16. Then run the script and you should be okay.
But if you have a backup folder for titanium backup, move the folder onto the computer where it'll stay there forever.
My list:
- Static the phone's IP on your DHCP server
- Install Samba. Then create a link on your desktop to \\yourphone\sdcard or smbmount on your *nix box. Great way to transfer media.
- Install QuickSSHd, and bind on :22 (yay)
- Install your choice of full VPN services (ie. openvpn) so you don't have to constantly redial with the built-in client
- Bring up a chroot()'d Debian environment, and apt-get install build-essential; full GNU toolchain on your phone!
- Install ROM Toolbox and remove all the carrier-bundled crapware
- Overclock (running stable @ 1.2ghz, currently)
- Install Better Terminal Emulator Pro (though this doesn't require root, you can also dump a lot of useful binaries in /system/xbin; be careful!)
After all of this, you'll have a nice portable linux workstation that you can access directly via CIFS & SSH/SFTP.

nice....i'm not surprise to see these specially from an N900 user.
Oh.....so you overclock? Is the kernel from the I9103 be used? or it's gonna screw up coz glide has keyboard?
EDIT: ooops....i just knew that there is a stock glide kernel posted, I'll test myself, thanks...
EDIT 2: thread says "for Samsung Galaxy R (I9103) only" LOL! nvm
"status indicator"
is there a way to clear out the status indicator in the pull-down notification bar? For awhile I used super status bar, but got tired of it refusing to withdraw. The "indicators" use up half the screen, and are totally unneeded.
Hi,
I have a rooted Arc with Locked BL, work with 4.0.4...
I have delete some Google sys apps like calendar and download interface. HOWEVER, I have tried many times to delete SE's apps but I failed. I have tried with titanium, explorer and Rom-toolbox. What I can do is just disable SE's apps from apps overview setting.
Any idea?
That's surprising. You can't delete apps even though you're rooted?

Try Root Uninstaller from the Play Market. I did not have any problem to delete any app I want, included SE. Actually, it does not delete, but let you uninstall.
with ics 4.0.4 there is a new folder for apps /vendor/app/
first mount it R/W with root explorer then u should be able to delete the SE apps
I have tried Root Uninstaller pro too. but I can't.
All rooted apps get rooted access, However, they give me an error when deleting apps.
Titanium gave me this error:"Failed to locate the apk file".
Root Uninstaller gave me this message:"Can not uninstall app, an unknown error occurred".
What really surprising me is: I could not find SE apps in system\app ?!!!!!!
NOTE THAT: I have rooted my ARC by flashing ARC S kernel, get the root, then, flash ARC kernel again. The root is there. All apps need root are working very well.
I tried another way to uninstall SE's apps. I reflashed ARC S kernel again... I deleted SE's apps. then, I reflashed ARC kernel, and I found all SE's apps?!!!
All what I can do is: Disabling these apps from system details (App info). But, I want to delete them to get more space.
ANY IDEA...
Remember that, I can't find SE's apps in system\app.

this comes pre-installed and is not needed to be replaced
5.ADFREE[FREE]
if you use this, you might aswell just steal the apps, as using this takes money away from devs!
8.BUSYBOX[FREE/PAID]
Already comes pre-installed and messing about with this can make the rom unbootable OR you can mess up your root based apps
9.SSH TUNNEL[FREE]
well most users will never need this....
Come on sometimes those ads are so annoying.....and not everyone is rich to buy all the apps that want, and tunneling is one thing i quite often use, well i was just trying to help

It seems the App Ops cannot work properly on Firephone without root, so any idea for apps permission control?
This is an Android 4.4.4. based device, so root it, install app-ops or Xposed and similar modules.
An app like "Advanced Permission Manager" is no feasible option either, free version is limited and with the concept of this app, you would have to make more than one compromise.
"APK Permission Remover" is just as bad, because you would be forced to change the permissions each time before installing an app (same general idea, since it's from the same developer).
When I uninstall stock installed apps (it doenst matter which app I uninstall) and then reboot some of my user apps are instantly crashing when I try to open them (Steam, Feedly, and a few others).
When I restore a TWRP backup everything works fine. Even if I uninstall a single system app the error occours.
Has anyone experienced this before?

The best way to uninstall stock apps is to use debloat. If you use anything else, I guess that may interfere with user apps, and that may be the cause. Just try to use debloat which is a magisk module that creates a terminal command that lets you uninstall systemlessly. If you have any questions, just reply!

How is that module called? Can you send me the name or so?

The module is called debloater. It's in the download section of magisk manager. You can sort it alphabetically to find it quickly. When you find it, install it, do a reboot and voila.
The module only works if you have a terminal app. If you use a lineageos based rom like I do, you can enable the app via developer options. If not, then no problem. Try to find any terminal emulator via google play. Thus, you can use it! :victory:
