Hey guys, I've been searching the forums and I can't find a pure Google rom without root. Mainly because I use an app that requires the phone to be as secure as possible. So my question is: Can I simply delete the su.apk and use the app? Just to let you know its the Barclays mobile banking app.

no, use Siyah kernel, and select temporary unroot feature in extweaks.
This will disable root for some time and thus allowing you to run your app

He's right you can ExTweaks to temporarily unroot. However, in Cyanogenmod 9 there's an option to disable root for apps alone or adb in the security settings I believe, either there or development options.

I have been installing a few apps and now im questioning if I am going to have to install these apps again after I root this phone? Those of you that have rooted your phone, have you have to install your apps again?
Thanks!
No.
From your question it would appear you are new to rooting. It does not mess with the installed apps; it provides more access to the OS so you can do more.

Rooting will only give root access, but changing the kernel will force you to format your phone?

I already install the superuser app, do i need to configure something else ?
Superuser will prompt you when it's needs root access for something (i.e. using a application requiring root) and you will have the option to allow or deny this access. You shouldn't need to configure the application itself unless you just want to change some basic settings. Hope it helps!

Give Titanium Backup a try. It needs root and can backup your apps+data. A must have tool.
4.468 euventri
is superuser to root
Just to ensure I am not missing out on anything.
I have made use of root by doing the following :
- Backed up apps before flashing Rom with titanium backup.
- Freeze unwanted apps with titanium.
- Installed ad free to remove ads.
- Load custom roms and kernels etc ( I did this on my s2. not bothered on s3 yet as only had it a few days.
I think that's all I've done with root. What else have people done?

Nothing as root is a method of opening the OS to a lower level than standard .
If an app requires root privileges its used if not it isn't .

Yeah I understand that. What apps have you used or tweaks made with root?
Is there something about improving audio?

Try the app rom toolbox
Install custom rom and even try Google search
Press the "Thanks" button below if I've helped.

I would rather have skygo than my rooted phone, how do I go about doing it without losing all my apps?
Thanks

If you are rooted using chainfire superSU, go in supersu settings and you will find an option to completely unroot
Otherwise, flash a stock kernel from your rom

any other way as I cant get odin on my work pc?
ignore this
I wiped all my apps and forgot my phone was unlocked which was only available through root so I have to keep root.
Whats the best rom to use these days?
get the stock kernel from <sammobile.com>. and flash through ODIN. really very simple. but then you root for the fun and freedom and why go back?
I'm trying to use Watchever (I think its the German equivalent to Netflix). The problem is that it won't work on rooted devices and I tried all the hide root apps with no success... How does this app know that I'm rooted? I did tempunroot and even a complete unroot and it STILL says I'm rooted! Any ideas?

maybe you still have a super user app installed...
that app could have scanned your packages list and checked if u had a superuser app installed...
