I accidentally denied access to an app and it remembered my decision. How do I change it to allowed?
Pretty sure go to settings, applications, manage applications, find superuser then either clear It's data or cache . Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Go into your Superuser app and then select the app you denied and select forget. After that try to use your app again.

So I got got root, after having a long and hard decision, because I soft-bricked my phone yesterday.
Anyway, I got titanium because no other apps were free on Market like Root Manager or Root Explorer.
When I go to Backup/Restore I get a list, but they're not apps, they're stuff like:
Accounts
Application Widgets
Bluetooth Pairings
Country, Language, Time zone
Wi-Fi Access Points
but I want to delete the Avatar, TeleNav, and others.
PS, I've tried searching, didn't help me, so please don't tell me to "SEARCH". OH and I also read the sticky, didn't help x]
Any help is gladly appreciated
Does anybody know how? Please?
I prefer File Manager, it's free and pretty easy to use and delete all the Bloatware. Download it, open it and navigate to My Phone>system>app and look for the apk you want removed.
Is it ASTRO file manager, eFile - File Manager, or just plain "File Manager"?
Oh and what is .odex and .apk? Should I delete both?

.odex is the file before deodexing.
.apk is the output once deodexed.
Yes, delete both.. But I would recommended titanium to uninstall. And there is a link in the sticky that tells you all of the .apks & .odex files you can remove...
Plain File Manager.
Here's a list of safe programs you can remove.
First off all the Standard Apps:
AccountAndSync.apk/odex -> The app in the drawer, not the settings.
AddToHome.apk/odex
AudioPostcard.apk/odex
Avatar.apk/odex -> The app that launches Avatar in the video player.
BuddiesNow.apk/odex
Dlna.apk/odex [Allshare]
FlashPlugin.apk/odex
GoGo.apk/odex
Infoalarm.apk/odex [Daily Briefing]
KindleStub.apk/odex
Layer-samsung.apk/odex
MediaHub.apk/odex
Memo.apk/odex
Mini Diary.apk/odex
MobiTV.apk/odex
MyAccountStub_4-5-10.apk/odex
Myfiles.apk/odex
Sims3_Samsung_Embed_Launcher.apk/odex
slackerradio.apk/odex
Swype-Tips.apk/odex
Telenav.apk/odex
thinkdroid.apk/odex [ThinkFree Office]
vvm-signed.apk/odex -> T-Mobile Visual Voicemail [can be re-downloaded from the market. for some reason that version is the preferred one.]
VoiceRecorder.apk/odex
VoceDialer.apk/odex
Writeandgo.apk/odex
TouchwizWidgets:
Day.apk/odex
DualClock.apk/odex

Open SU and see if you accidentally denied it. If so click it if not then reboot your phone and open Ti again. That should prompt SU.

Hi guys, I am totally new here and have a question that how I can re-grant the app permission as wrongly denied... Try to re-install the app but still unable to get the SuperUser allow to grant. Is that means once denied one app, then this app will never be get the permission fever ?
Thank you very much !

You should be able to allow/deny via Superuser app. Just open Superuser, you will see the apps which require root access, open the app of your choice and press the menu key, so that option appears whether to deny/allow root access permissions.
~Cheers
You can also try either clearing the app data or flashing SuperSu (do a search) and using that instead of SuperUser.
Is there any way to grant a app always su or other similar rights by settings this in the ROM?
The background is:
I have a launcher in my custom ROM and I don't want it to ask always for SU-Permission. How can I avoid this?

When it asks for SU permission, check "always" below the accept or deny button. U will not be prompted again by that app for SU permissions. Or u can even go to SU settings, find the app, set it to grant always.
I am familiar with this. But I want to implement that inside the ROM, so the user can't change this

Doesn't matter whether you pick grant or deny as that is not so important process.
You can even remove the apk without any impact on the ROM performance.
SuperSU made it a feature to scan all system user processes so if any "naughty" process that is not a system process but running as system user can be intercepted.
For me, I just tick the "Trust system user" in SuperSU settings.
yea I did the same this morning...thanks anyway
Hey guys! I'm new to this community so first of all I want to say hello to you all! Sadly my arrival is mostly based on a possible-problem for me.
So here's the situation:
1- Bad Guy runs an app on Good Guy's phone that asks for root access, this app is malicious and can be used to steal almost everything (like theftspy that was developed by a dev from xda)
2-Bad Guy grants it the access and sets SuperSU to "grant on demand" for this specific app. Then deletes all the logs of all this and removes this app from APPS tab of SuperSU.
3- Good Guy is completely unaware of all these.
4-A few weeks later Good Guy learns that this Bad Guy could have been installed an app on his phone that can steal sensitive information. He performs an Avast Mobile Security scan that returns clean and later performs a complete wipe of his phone and loads a new ROM.
So I'm the Good Guy here I confronted Mr. Bad Guy about it who ultimately denied that, but I got some strong suspicions that he might be lying. Data in the phone was private (mostly business) so even the probability of this being stolen is scary.
Without any further ado my question is: Can this malicious app keep onto its root access after a reboot (can any app do that)? Because if it can not, then even if it starts itself after boot, it'll have to grant root access again which would leave logs and would be seen on SuperSU this time, which neither was there so would mean I am safe. Also is Avast's scan result reliable on this basis?
Thanks to everyone who took their time to read, any help is so much appreciated.
Bump
Well, there are many root apps that run after system startup. It depends on the app that was installed on your phone.
If Mr.Bad removed app from SuperSU and deleted logs, that means the app isn't in use and will no longer do its work. That means, the app is just installed with no harm.
Also there was no need to change your ROM and factory reset. Just by uninstalling the app you'll be done.
Even, you scanned through AntiVirus and didn't found anything.
Stilling data from one phone and sending to other phone must need a medium to transmit data, in your case it must be internet. You could have check in Data Usage in Setting weather there is any anonymous app that is using your data.
Still there is probability, that your personal data must be stolen.
It depends on the duration between 'granted root permission to app and removing app from SuperSU list'
Also you said about 'grant on demand' its similar to 'prompt' was applied to the app in SuperSU.
Have you granted permission anytime? I yes them probably your data is stolen by Me.Bad.
Hope you understand everything

Thanks for answer hitman!
I haven't granted any app root access. But Mr. Bad could have done it before I got my phone back. After starting to use my phone I rebooted it. I wonder if this app can start running with root access on its own after a reboot. Or should it get granted root access again by the user.
If so, then that'd be like NSA level coding / spying to avoid detection and still run after resetting.

Resetting as in like restarting your phone right? And not returning to factory state.

If the app is setup such that it runs on startup and SuperSU is set as 'prompt' for that app, it must have asked user for granting permission after every reboot.

Nope dude! Resetting means going back to factory state.
Say, Mr.Bad could have installed an app in your phone that you are unaware of.
Whats more important is the permissions of that app. If it can claim sensitive permissions like access to contacts / messages / sdcard , then he can get that data even when the app doesn't have root access. And if the app has root access, then the damage could have been done already before he deleted the supersu logs. And no, it cannot be granted root access after the logs are deleted automatically on startup.
And Mr.Bad could have installed his malicious app on to system partition in which case u may not be aware of what the app is. And what damage it does. In such case even a factory reset doesn't help.
It is advised to reinstall the rom and protect superuser with some pin / password.

Well I'm mostly scared of screenshots being taken remotely which requires root access.
HA! That's what I wanted to hear! The startup part!
Yeah since resetting won't clear off a possible /system infection I performed a full wipe and installed Cloudy ROM.
Yet I have done it after a few weeks.Still, a possible spy app would need to grant root access again on device start up by me which didn't happen so I assume I'm safe Is there a known way for an app to grant root access without user permission once the device is turned off and turned back on ?

Once an app gets root granted and is in whitelist of superuser management app, then if such app can autostart on boot it can get root granted without user permission.
Eg: Firewall app.

True but if it is whitelisted on the Superuser management app then it is pretty easy to detect since it'll be listed there.
P.S:I assume you mean to be "set to "'grant on demand'" on SuperSU by "being whitelisted".
