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.

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.

Well I wanted to receive OTA updates! But when I was rooted I didn't really use it, what do you use root for?

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

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.
Apparently the only way to get MiraCast to work is to go back to stock and use triangle away. Booooo. That won't happen.

It likely detects root on startup. ..like so many other apps. ..
I hate that. .
However. .don't we have some apps that hide root ??
I saw a few threads in the themes and apps section I'm pretty sure. ..
Sorry for not having a link. ..as it's been awhile. ..g

I have successfully rooted my note 2 bhut when i try to use game killer it says root privelages are needed.. suggest me something fast and easy

Try to reroot it and you should get an app on your phone called superuser and when you launch gamekiller it should ask for access from root and just hit grant.

Firstly, are your keys broken? At least bother to write correctly.
Second, as mentioned above, install superuser from playstore. I prefer SuperSU.
