Got a brand new S4 and would like to remove Lookout. I've deactivated the app from Device Administrators and then tried to uninstall it but the only option I have is to uninstall updates. Has anyone been able to remove this succesfully?
Root it and then use titanium backup and use that to get rid of it.

If not rooted,you can also go to settings>more>app manager>lookout>then disable the app.
loockout was the first app i deleted after acquiring root access....that app is so annoying.
Unable to Root S4, Lookout is blocking the Rooting software

I'm unable to root my gS4 because the Lookout app is blocking the rooting software. Anyone has any idea how to bypass this problem. Thanks

Flash a recovery and then flash root, you're guaranteed root then, lookout or not.

Are you using the Xposed 2.3 Beta. It's the only one built for 4.3
Hmm its 2.2, guess I will have to dig for 2.3. Thanks!

I have it installed as well 2.3, but I'm having issues with a couple of modules, which isn't suprising, just need some time to get them sorted.. xblast specifically..

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

Not sure. I either use Greenify or Titanium backup to freeze apps but am not aware of nonroot solutions :/

You are welcome. Just curious, what is the reason you don't root your phone? The benefits outweigh the negatives for me lol.

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.
Hey I was wondering if anyone could help when I try and use the gandalf exploit it just hangs then closes. Help would be nice or another way to root with no computer since I don't have one sadly.

What about freezing it?
You can freeze it. I assume youre using a F400S because that's a SK telecom thing. I froze it on mine and it was fine.

I had the same issue with the kindle app. Using something like root explorer go into system/vendor/app and anything tibu can't delete is probably in there.

Guys,
Do we have a way to restore root to a device to recieve OTA updates? Previously I would use the Root Keeper app, but that hasn't worked since 4.3 was released. I'm specifically looking for a way that doesn't involve reflashing the stock firmware in Odin and basically starting fresh. I'd like to keep my device as is, just restore root to pull OTA updates.

Did you make a backup on out-of-the-box,no-root stock?
Yes, but that essentially would be the same as loading stock firmware, since it was the first thing I did. (No apps installed, no account syncs etc.)
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Free mobile app
Alright, so Superuser is able to restore root to the device, but OTA still won't work because the device is still detected as unauthorized modification. Looks like I'll be stuck pushing firmware after all.

Use Kies to update, it allows updates even if you are rooted stock.

Does this install the stock recovery as well?
Yes and you'll have to reroot as well.

That's okay - I'm wiping everything in order to sell. Which option should I choose? Emergency firmware recovery?
If you're wiping, yes. Then you'll Reset to factory defaults in phone.

It's funny that nobody seems to want to use Kies, but it's a great way to safely update the phone, you don't have to wait for OTA to get pushed to your phone, and it works on rooted phone.

I played with the Flex 2 at CES, I wasn't that impressed. I need a removable battery in my phone, plus that slight curve still makes for an awkward pocket fit.
