Is it possible to add adway with adb without root? - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

Is it possible to install adaway without root, using adb?

No, Adaway changes the system hosts file.

You better use the Private DNS feature instead, with AdGuard DNS servers.
Customising the hosts file is a bad idea.

Why are some of my Apps unable to gain root access?

I am running AOKP JB B1, just like suddenly, some of my Apps like DX tool box and DX power booster can't gain root access anymore, but other apps like root explorer work fine, I tried to update supersu and binary, no good.
Then I thought maybe I screw up the system because lots kernel flashed, so I just reflash AOKP JB B1 with full wipe , but still no good...
Could it be application compatibility problem or something wrong at my end?

Just a guess but some apps look for Superuser.apk to confirm root access. If your ROM has SuperSU.apk as SuperSU.apk that could be the issue. When I flash a ROM with SuperSU I always change the name to Superuser.apk.

a. update your busybox, use stericsons busybox updater from the play market. open the app, update busybox.
b. open your superuser or supersu app and make sure that your binaries are updated and that root is enabled. superuser has known issues with jelly bean.
c. if aokp has an optional root or no choice, enable root.

unfortunately , still can't , busybox is updated. SuperSu has updated the binaries as well and i even set to gain permission without asking, still can't
all other apps like ROOT EXPLORER , TRITIUM BACK UP, FRANCO KERNEL UPDATER, PGM2 and something more were able to gain access to root , only these 2 can't
this is the app that can not gain access ...

I have a rooted phone. I have SuperSU. Do I really need Superuser and BusyBox?

Hi, I have a SONY XPERIA S rooted, and I have SuperSU after root. Now do I really need other apps like Superuser or BusyBox? Or Superuser it's the same thing as SuperSU.
Can i use the phone just with SuperSU or those apps : Superuser and BusyBox are a must ?

You don't have to install Superuser because you already have SuperSu. Busybox is very useful and many apps depend on busybox so it is much better to have busybox installed. But usually, most rooting tool kits [like DoomLorD's] even install busybox if my memory serves me. So if you would like to know if you already have busybox installed, just check my signature for my app on Playstore

Yes I have rooted with this : SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE but only SuperSU appeared on my phone, as an app. Doesn't BusyBox should appear as an app to ?

Oh that's great. Then you should have busybox installed too. Busybox is not an app and hence you won't find it in the app drawer. It is an all in one executable file which contains a variety of commands [linux commands] like cp, mkdir, touch etc. It is located in system/xbin or system/bin.

Use "Root Checker Pro.apk" to check superuse & busybox is correctly installed.
Download the pro version of root checker or buy , your wish.
Busybox is required for some mods to work.
I use Xperia Ion, i need busybox for clockworkmod to work properly.
For u it might help in some other mods.
Thanks. Helped me a lot.

And another thing. What other apps are a must for a rooted phone? Like : Greenify, RomManager [Not working for me, reboots my phone when I try to make a backup ROM ] , DroidWall, Nandroid Manager,Better Terminal or any kind of terminal ? Are this useful or I may look for other apps ?
I don't have any of that. Lol

Well Titanium Backup is a must for all rooted android phones. A good file manager which can modify system files (like Root Browser by Jrummy) is also a must have app. There are many other useful utility apps which utilize superuser access like adb wireless, terminal emulators etc. Each app has it's own function so depending on your needs, just search for playstore and I am sure that you will find an app which suits you the best.
Great, although Greenify it's ok because he can help you identify and put the bad behaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them.
Root uninstaller and es file explorer. Job done

Do not use rom mangler. Not sure how well it works now but it has had a history of not working correctly and messing up some devices.
Yeah,mine rebooted every time I tried to do a backup.

If you are on ICS follow this method.
If you are on JB follow this method.
Before trying any of the above, do your own research. See if u have all the requirements before doing anything.

Done it. Download it, extracted the files, do the exact steps, everything ok, I see no change. The link you gave me for JB is [RECOVERY] CWM Recovery 6.0.3.0 for {JB} LOCKED bootloader and I have an unlocked bootloader. When Ienter in recovery with my phone it says that I have CWM v6.0.3.2

Apps and services to disable on the A50

Now the hype has died down a bit
Do we have a list of samsung bloatware that can be disabled via the apps list?
so done manually
Not using ADB
Unless you have root access, there are only a handful of apps that can be uninstalled manually without adb. Why don't you want to use adb?
You can debloat system apps using Package Disabler Pro from the playstore without root.

Running a backup right now from Q3, going to transfer some files to my Q5 phone, will let you know.
Moved files with TITBU to Q5 no problem. Try and clear data and cache, TITBU will crash on me if my OTG USB device is not plugged in or mounted.

hmm I can't even open it
Looks to have been something to do with magisk. Reinstalled it and the big point here is
Make sure 'allow from untrusted sources' is enabled for magisk before using it.

It costs money but I recommend adguard. Adblocker without needing to root. I've set it up for my wife and mother in law who has Samsung's and won't dare root them and they have had no issues with it

how to uninstall system apps?

I have always used titanium backup to do this for as long as I can remember. However it seems like titanium is a very limited on this device. Have tried through terminal emulator, etc, but I really not come up with a good way to uninstall system apps. Does anyone know of any easy way to do so?

Freeze / deactivate the apps. It's the same without the risks to uninstall something mandatory.
I followed the steps on this website and it worked for me! I'm rooted by the way and Titanium didn't work for me either

Use a uninstaller with root acces you can find some on GooglePlay https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en_US.
Or you can use adb commands to remove some apps

Your best shot is adb or some magisk module.
With Android 10 making system permanent read only, uninstall system apps like you usually doesn't work.
