i read the faq but i can't understand if i need to root it (already did) and then getting new ROM on it or there is a way to it without getting a new ROM?

If you have root install some app that will freeze/delete preinstalled app. Titanium backup can do that.

I have root my phone with unrevoked the one click and I am trying to remove some stock apps directly from the phone and still tell me that is read only, I don't have the write/delete permission to do it? Is that how is intend or my root is wrong ?
Any other way to take this stock app out without flashing a rom?

You can remount your system partition as Read/Write if your NAND is unlocked, just do an "adb remount"

You could always just download titanium backup and remove them or download root explorer
Go to system/app hit the rw/w in the right corner and delete what you don't want

Need some Guidance on Backup & Root?

I no longer root, or modify anything deep like roms. I'm all default right now. However, I really am disipointed with Androids ablitiy to back up. I recently did a hard reset and can not believe how many customization's I did unit I had to recreate everthing.
My question.
Is there still no real solution to make a backup of your Android Devcie that includes system settings and App data without rooting?
If a root is required, Is there a simple minimal root procedure that would give me the ablitly to make full backups using something like Titanium Backup?

If you want to ROOT then there's a lot of one-click root options out there. You just have to search. Its quite easy.
I would recommend rooting if you're trying to do a full system backup. Titanium backup will backup all the programs+data but it won't backup your home screens and all that stuff. Nandroid backup will, however. For that you will need a custom recovery. Either CWM (through ROM manager, it's the easiest way, or TWRP).

Please....for the love of god/bubba/spaghetti monster.... read read read. Then do some research, and read some more before rooting. The guide mentioned here will teach you all you need to know. Just be sure to follow it. If your new to rooting I would NOT use a one click method. You don't learn anything that way.

Hello guys .. i have samsung galaxy nexus . Stock handset. Never been rooted
I want to root my nexus for first time so i have some confusions in my mind which i want to clarify so that rooting goes smooth
.
Question : rooting erased all the prvious data and apps. I have heard there are some apps which bakup the game and software as well as the other mobile content. Please suggest Some good backup app
Question: i have 4.1.1 currently on device. Does it mean after root only 4.1.1 roms will work on my handset
Welcome to the Nexus club
Here are the answers to your question;
Data Wipe:
Rooting erases all the previous data and apps? NO. The process of rooting only provides you with root access. (But dont be so happy yet )
As I see, you have a stock Nexus. So before Rooting, you have to do a process called Unlocking. And Unlocking wipes EVERYTHING.
Once rooted and unlocked, when you flash switch ROM's you have to do a clean flash. This removes Apps. But preserves app data and sdcard contents.
Backup:
For backup of data, I'd recommend go for individual apps. The below are my personal favorites for backups:
For app backup, use ES File explorer (It only backs up free app, and no data backup)
For SMS and log backup, use SMS Backup & Restore and Call Logs Backup & Restore by Ritesh Sahu
Contacts and calendar and mails will anyways be synced with google account.
Do all the backups and copy these contents to your PC and then proceed with the Unlocking and Rooting.
Once Rooted, you can use Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox for data and app backup.
Android Version
i have 4.1.1 currently on device. Does it mean after root only 4.1.1 roms will work on my handset. NO
When I bought my GNex, i was on 4.1.1 too. Currently I am on 4,2.2 ROM's
Hope this helps.
All the best.
Regards,
Neeraj

I have recently updated to 4.1.1 OTA and notices the battery of my mobile phone is draining quite quickly.
I am thinking to root the device and update it to 4.2.2 (i think its latest available).
Is it possible ? Where to find software to update ?

I have to unlock bootloader, root the device and then flash 4.2.2 on the device. Is it right ?
And when i will flash custom roms on device it will replace the stock 4.2.2 ?

yes, it will overwrite.
the battery life is more related to Kernel than ROM; so to get good battery life it would be better to flash a good kernel...
I have seen different tutorials for updating galaxy nexus to 4.2.2. It says something like this
"In order to do the update your device needs to be running build JOP40D"
But when i saw my settings in the mobile, my built number appears to be
JRO03C.I9250JPLH2
Now whats the point here .. ?
how to update the device in this situation
fastboot flash system nameofsystemimage.img
fastboot flash boot nameofbootimage.img
quite simple actually
the question here is that the build number of my device donot agree as given according to pre requistes of the process as per tutorials ..

[Q] Backup without root

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 ?

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.

Users with root access can backup APK+Data and market links

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:

UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER WILL FACTORY RESET THE DEVICE AND YOU WILL LOSE DATA

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.

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.

[Q] Can you unroot and keep custom ROM?

Hi,
I would like to use a custom ROM on my HTC One M8 (e.g. ARHD) but I would like to unroot it after installing the custom ROM so that I can use my banking apps.
Is this possible?
Thanks.
Should work, try it and see (backup ROM first obviously)
I believe CyanogenMod's CM11 and CM12 builds both have switches in their developer options to enable/disable root access. I'm not sure how your apps are detecting root, but that might work for you.
It is not possible.

Agreed:thumbup:
You don't need root to install a custom ROM or even run a custom ROM on your device. Obviously you won't be able to use any apps that require root, but the ROM in and of itself will still function.

I've been rooted and running custom ROMs for a few years, and I've never had any problems with using banking apps.
Some apps detect root, others don't care. I bank with NatWest and it's fine but apparently Barclays won't work. Same with other apps like Sky Go (live TV), even if you 'hide' root access it finds it in the kernel and won't run
Barclay's app requires the phone to be unrooted and I can't seem to live without it...
Is there instructions on how to install a ROM without root? All instructions online say root needs to be done.
Thanks!
I'm also wondering about this. I need to install a corporate app that needs a minimum of android 4 on my Samsung i9000. The last stock rom for i9000 was 2.3.6 so I need a custom rom. At he same time it also checks if the phone is rooted each time the app runs.
I've read something about deleting some files:
/system/bin/busybox,
/system/xbin/busybox,
/system/bin/su,
/system/xbin/su,
/system/app/superuser
Has anyone tested this?
Now in this forum thread I am reading about apps being able to detect root in the kernel of the phone. Does anyone out there have a way to unroot a custom rom??

This forum section is specific to the HTC M8, so any help you get from the users here maybe of limited help. Advice may not work on your device, or even harm it.
Did you try to hide root (various apps to do this)? Although that may be circumventing the security reason why your workplace is checking for root in the first place.
