Why don't you just disable them under settings > apps..

Thanks. That works. Just disabled Media hub, Bonus app etc.
If I reboot the phone, do they run again?

Can you tell me how to root and unroot without triggering the counting warning? Thanks.
Just look on the stickies
Root no trip the flash counter method
However, you could root any of the ways and use the app triangle away to reset the flash counter

I do recall reading something about doing the opposite, temporarily unrooting in order for the OTA to install properly then enabling root again, but I can't for the life of me remember where or how it was done. It was just a tap of a button is all I can remember. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Inside the root programs SuperSU or Super User, there are options to select "Temp Unroot"

No they will not restart upon a reboot. This is your best bet imo OP. As well as the easiest.

Actually I was trying to remember OTA Rootkeeper, but it's nice to know of this method too. Once you install OTA Rootkeeper it allows you to temporarily unroot.
Clear and safe temporary rooting?
I have no need for custom ROMs etc, just want to make complete backup, perhaps remove some apps and for curiosity try to run some game data analyzers. Can I do this with temporary rooting and is there some clear and safe howto for the S3 (currently seems to have JB 4.1.2) ?
What I want is to temp-root the phone, do some magic and then after restart use the original rom without root.
(Little OT, but if I do a permanent root and then unroot the phone, will I lose some data? They talk about "wipeout" and it sounds like a permanent lose of data.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ari

There is no such thing as "temporary root". You either have it, or you don't. You have the option (through root access) to remove root when you are finished with it.
You will not lose any data. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.
I didn't answer the how to question because the answers are in the stickies.
This method will show you how to back up your important memo in times you want to change or flash your ROM.
Step 1: Phone must be rooted and make sure you have "root explorer" application.
Step 2: Locate the "Memo.db" using your root explorer (data/data/com.sec.android.app.memo/databases/Memo.db.
Step 3: Copy the "Memo.db" in your SD card (anywhere in your SD card as long as you can easily find it)
Step 4: You can now change or flash ROM.
Step 5: After changing/flashing ROM, locate in your SD card the "Memo.db" you saved before using "root explorer" and paste it to data/data/com.sec.android.app.memo/databases/Memo.db and overwrite it.
and THAT''s ALL!
:good: HIT THANKS please

okay back to the topic...
i didnt got any memos back..
rooting is new for me...and i am noob to root...
Noob Questions... Probably.
Any reports on whether this method works or not? I can always use Kies to backup memos but it's a tedious process and i'd rather not want to do it every time i decide to tinker with my phone.
Also, regarding Titanium Backup, isn't it not advisable to transfer memos from one ROM to the next? Experimented with it once, couldn't restore my Apps and Contacts, so I just did the longer method and made backups with Kies.
I bought myself a Nexus 4.
Now i'm trying to move everything from my current Desire HD.
Data like pics , music and so i'll just do manually trough pc , contacts i exported to SD and then imported them in Google , apps go trough play store and for text i'll use an sms backup app.
The problem is app data and settings.
There are some backup apps that can do it but they either require root or abdroid 4.0 and up.
My DHD is stock and unrooted , so my question , is there another option , way around it , very easy root method or whatever lets me backup the app data and settings ?
You need root and titanium backup.

Is there an easy way to root ? (doesn't need to be permanent i guess)
If you tell us which version of android you have we can advise you better...
Before rooting, Maybe you could try using "js backup" it's supposed to be able to backup without root, but, I've never not been rooted while using it, so can't be sure how good it is.

Yeah , my bad
(just assumed it was , as in stock has latest update)
Came across Carbon App Sync and Backup while googling solutions.
It is the predecessor of Helium and it should work for GB to (helium requires 4.0 or up).
Found the apk for it but can't open it on my phone , it says " prblom with pasing the package " , what does that mean ?

Googled some more and it appears that way indeed , bummer ...
Seems like rooting is the only way , so can someone point me out the easiest way to do that ?

My backup pro does backup without root. I have never used it so, I can really know how it works but I know that works without root access.

Yeah , but this is what i found in the play store :
Gebruikers met root toegang kunnen zowel APK+Data als Market links back-uppen
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
translated
Users with root access can backup APK+Data and market links
Click to expand...

So i would think that it won't backup app data+settings without root ?
(if it was a free app i obviously would have tried it already)
Edit : it even says literraly :
NOTE: Data/setting of applications can only be supported if you have a rooted phone, or if the application integrates with us.

Have you tried JS BACKUP to see if that works on nonrooted phone?
Edit: just realised you can "unroot" phone in superSU temporarily, tried it myself it backs up, but FC trying to restore, so it must need root too :thumbdown:

Was looking into that but read this :
UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER WILL FACTORY RESET THE DEVICE AND YOU WILL LOSE DATA
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So i'm f ' ed either way ?
Root = loose data
Unrooted = no way to backup ...
I thought that only happens when you run a RUU. Can someone confirm?
I can confirm, bootlader will factory reset the device.

No one that has a soluton for me ?

I use my backup pro. Its way simpler than titanium backup, and there is a free version but I paid for the pro. My backup will nack everything up for you but if your not rooted then it isnt able to access the app data so cant back it up. I dont think you will be able to find a solution without rooting. When I rooted I used the AAHK which is no longer available on xda as the dev fell fell out of love with them but can be found through google.

You can't flash an apk, and you don't even need root, just go to settings>security>unknown sources and tick it, afterwards u can open apks and install them.

I won't.say that it's impossible but in practical terms, no. I haven't seen anyone post a script or app to do this. Normally you need root to manipulate the filesystem. It can actually be done by way of various exploits but it's simply easier and more useful to root a device.
