So I just flashed Axura 2.2.5.9 and have kernel version 2.6.32.9 and well I wanted to use visual voicemail from Tmobile, but it won't let me install the newest version. So I tried to uninstall the older version that came with the rom and it won't let me.
The uninstall button is grayed out.
When I try to download the newer version from the market it says, "duplicate provider authority."
Thanks

easiest way is through Root Explorer, simply delete the .apk file from /system/app
or, if you have ADB on your PC, access your device through adb, and type the following commands:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd /system/app
rm nameof.apk
reboot
hope this helps
Well, using the app "Super manager" as my root explorer didn't work, so I ended up purchasing "SystemApp Remover" from the market and it worked well. As for the other method you described above was above my tech level and knowledge so I figured I'd find an easier method with keeping that as a last case scenario.
I got rid of Voicemail notifier, google voice and visual voicemail. Worked like a charm.

yes thats a good app....but the above methods undoubtedly work. did you even try them? if they didnt work, which method did you try, and what part of it didnt work? they are two of the original ways of removing system apps, theyve been around almost as long as root access for Android was discovered....good things to know and learn
if someone is trying to help you, dont just say the methods dont work.......either admit that you didnt even try, or post what went wrong, cause it couldve been something you did...because if another person who has this same problem sees this thread, they will automatically think these things dont work and will lose solutions to their problem.
^^^this goes for any situation, not just this one
Okay my apologies,
I went to the market and tried to find a root explorer but couldn't find a free one so I downloaded "Super Manager" app
I went into system file and long pressed on the file and tapped delete, the file just sat there. I did it again and it wouldn't delete. I restated my phone and it still didn't work.
So it wasn't necessarily the above method that didn't work it was the app that didn't work. I'll correct the post above as well.
I had a problem with system app remover before as I think it didnt just delete the apk but core processes linked to the apk I had a unbelievable flurry of fc maybe that was just my experience but root explorer is indisputably the easiest way to delete apk's cause you don't need anything other than the phone to do so
Yeah, ditto that @wills, I would advise to just freeze the process in titanium and go from there. I wouldn't remove it.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
I deleted about 10 apps from system/app using root explorer. Not sure why a lot of the bloat was left in/inluded in the latest axura... I wish apps that can be grabbed for free from the market could be left out. ESPECIALLY the bloat from samsung.
I mean, why include samsung widgets when you removed touchwiz?
Hi,
I just received my order from Best Buy today, and Superuser was installed. I think that means it is rooted, do you think that is normal ?
Does anyone else has this on his TP ?
Thanks
(Edit: in fact not rooted, just an automatic download from the market, sorry)

just because superuser is installed, doesn't mean you have root. you need the SU in /system/xbin and busybox..
run ADB root
and type SU and see what it says
the market probably automatically installed it when you signed in, because you probably already have it on another device.

Oh yeah, that should be this, you make me less dumb now
But I thought superuser needed root to be installed (that's what they say on the market if I read correctly).
Update:
Ok, I downloaded a terminal, and I'm not rooted, since I get "permission denied" when I try sudo something or "su". Sorry for this thread!
I just saw this on the XDA home page. Its a new super user app. As we know, the SU app on CM7 is a little buggy and doesnt always give super user permissions. Maybe this app will work better for us. Im going to be trying it out soon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
UPDATE: So I installed it and tested all my root apps. Seems to work well. I will give it a day or two and see if I have any of the apps fail to get root permissions. If this works and fixes the SU problems we have, then this is a great thing for us CM7 users.

Since I am very familiar with ADB and the command line, I tore apart the apk in the linked thread OP to make sure I understood what was happening during the install. I moved the original su binary and Superuser.apk to my emmc (internal memory card), manually pushed the new files out to my phone, and then rebooted.
Once CM7DX2 came all the way up, I started doing some testing and noticed the the original Superuser APK was still showing up in my app drawer. If DOESN'T appear to be conflicting with the new SuperSU APK, but I'm not sure. I have had a few times of the SuperSU app stop responding and asking to either force close or wait. After hitting wait a few times, I ended up just FCing the app.
Once everything smoothed out, the SuperSU seems to have worked, bu, I was still receiving "not responding" messages from the SuperSU app when apps were asking for Root access.
I am going to also cross-post this to the linked OP thread and see if Chainfire wants more digging into this.
Also, as a side note, I think the reason the CM7DX2 Superuser APK was still appearing is that it MAY be installed as part of 2nd-init. I'm not 100% sure about this.
So, in conclusion, for CM7DX2, I think this needs more digging in to and I will offer to work with Chainfire to see what we can do.
Ciao!

Thanks Moon Shadow. The only time I had it hang on "asking for root access" is with Titanium Backup. I think that had to do with the SuperSU app freezing though when trying to get into the settings tab in the app. It just freezes up when selecting that and I had to go into application seetings and manually force stop the app. After that, everything worked fine. I think its just that settings tab for some reason.
The way I installed it was installed SuperSU from the market, then uninstalled the old Super User through the market. I then opened SuperSU and it asked to update so I did. After that, I went through all my root apps and the new SuperSU prompt popped up for all and I granted access. I too see the old SU in the app drawer. Opening that though shows that the only thing that its granting root access to is the new SuperSU app. It doesnt seem to be conflicting with anything so far.

Kind of random but Moon, you are a goddamn machine. The moment something great releases you take it apart and make it better. Good **** man, good ****.
Just including my experience...
SuperSU is working like a champ, but had major issues until I removed Superuser completely.
Here's how I installed:
- Install SuperSU from market
- Uninstall Superuser from settings > applications
- Launch SuperSU and allow it to update it's binary
- Delete superuser.apk from system/apps (use root explorer, es file explorer, terminal, etc...)
- Reboot
Since changing over to SuperSU, I haven't seen a single hang while an app is requesting su permissions.

Did you go Settings> Applications> Manage Applications and hit the app? If you dont see that option, go into Titanium Backup (an app you have no excuse not having) and uninstall it. Then go into Root explorer and follow the above directions to totally remove it. Then reboot. It may seem like it isnt totally gone cause you may see the icon somewhere, but it likely is gone and a reboot is needed in order to confirm.
yea got the tiBu. but i tried force stopping and clearing data and uninstall never popped up. thought about removing in TiBu buts thats not what it said in the instructions.

Did it disappear after you rebooted? If you have root explorer, go into system/app and see if SU is still gone. If so, you're in good shape.
to clarify
before i even started i backed up original superuser.apk to a folder on sdcard from root explorer, then
i downloaded supersu from market.
went to settings-app-manage apps- etc no choice to uninstall. force stopped- cleared data, still no uninstall option.
went into titanium backup to uninstall from there and superuser wasnt even listed in the apps! (ok weird)
only option left is to just delete from root explorer then continue continue to launch supersu, update binaries and reboot but im holding off.
Lowend was supersuper listed in titanium for u? y isnt it showing up in my list. i find it odd

I can't find superuser in TB either... it is kind of weird...
i believe u cant delete superuser from tibu cus u need superuser for root access so its like a paradox. i dunno y instructions were as someone showed cus it seems the only way to get this to work properly is delete from root explorer. but im gunna hold off till someone confirms this more legit
I don't understand why you're holding off...if SuperSU is active, go for the reboot and see if the old superuser app clears.

id rather not have a headache if it messes something up.
this thread however gives some detail on supersu
looks like sum apps look for the presence of superuser.apk in data/app and possibly system/app.
a dummy file looks like it can resolve issues. ill switch when more testing is done on CM7dx2.

It's odd that you guys don't see the uninstall option for it... Do you see it in Market (err...Google Play, stupid name)? That's another way to get the uninstall done. If it doesn't show up there, you should be able to use root explorer and delete it from /data/apps and /system/apps.
When we installed CM7, the instructions had us update Superuser from market. That would have installed it in /data/apps, so it just needs to be yanked from there. Uninstall via market, tibu, settings>apps or manual through root explorer should all do the same thing. Then you can delete the built in one from system.
Also, if for some reason the whole process breaks down on you...there's a flashable version of the original Superuser that will probably get you going again. I haven't tried it on CM7 though...

The most recent update (pushed yesterday) fixed this for me.
There is simply no play store. I've had my rooted Lg P500 for a while now and it was running CM9 fine, except allot of apps crashed and it was rather slow as well as no camera, so i returned it to my backup of Gingerbread (Stock). Everything was going well, and then i got bored of GB, so i re-flashed CM9 With GApps. I noticed that their was no play store however, even after re-flashing GApps which didn't really bother me at the time.
After doing this, i found that CM10 had been released, which allot of people said was allot more stable and the camera actually worked (even though its a bad camera, i still use apps which use the camera as a background, and it gets rather annoying with just black). I loved it for a while and then i realised that there was no play store (and possibly other android apps which i don't really care about), however there was Gmail. I Flashed GApps (the correct one) and then i tried re flashing it. I did this about 20 times, just constantly re flashing everything and occasionally trying to restore back to GB (Which does have the play store) and then re-flashing CM10, BUT NOTHING WORKS :S!!!!
I then learned that this was a common problem amongst many people, but i cant seem to find an answer. I've tried setting up adb to push a playstore.apk file through, but for some reason, my computer decided it wouldn't recognize my device unless in mass storage mode, so when i do the adb thing i get this message;
"No device found"
I've also tried flashing ICS GApps, and that didn't work. I've tried everything and i cant find anything :'( .
I've also connected to wi-fi and my google account and left it for a while to check if it would update, but it still wont work :/
This is the thread where i got my ROM from and GApps download. (P.S if you read the downloads, i've tried using the mine GApps thing but that didnt work :/ )

He is right. But, to ensure that the Play Store app is on your phone, search for it. Secondly, depending on the Rom, you might have to use TB or a related app to uninstall the apk store, since you won't be able to reinstall it if it IS in your Rom as a system app

Are you sure you're rooted? You should be seeing # if you're rooted, not $. You should also be seeing superuser or superSU pop up requesting permissions on your phone.
Open terminal emulator on your phone (assuming you have it, since you said you're running cm9) you should see $ here. Type su and hit enter - make sure superuser/superSU pops up and you grant permission. If you don't see superuser/superSU or get permission denied, you probably aren't rooted.

I have already given root access to the app Clean Master. Under the 'Autostart Manager' page, I tried to remove apps that autostart by itself. However, the app pop out a message indicating 'Failed to Grant Root' and reminded me to grant root access.
I went back to the superuser app, it was indicated that root access has been granted.
Any way to solve this problem?
I have been having this same issue on rooted stock gs4. It's temperamental when it comes to root I've noticed. One day I was able to turn it app off of auto start and when I installed a new app it wouldn't let me do it and su says I'm granted
I'm experiencing the same issues. Auto Start Manager is the only feature that has this issue.

I always face this issue also, what I do as a temporary fix is, go to the SuperSU app, then "Forget" Clean Master, open Clean Master and try to disable an app from Auto starting, grant root and the app will be disabled I hope it works for you too
I am glad I am not the only one having this issue. I recently updated an app via the play store and clean master told me it was auto starting. I tried to block it, but it keeps telling me root access failed and to grant it. Well I've granted it root 18 times now and it still says root failed. I have tried everything to get it to work...clear logs, tell superSU to forget clean master, give it global default, etc. Nothing seems to work and it's pissing me off.
Unfortunately this does not work for me.
I have granted root access according to SuperSU Pro however when trying to stop autostarting apps in Clean Master it reminds me to allow access.
I even get a popup massage from SU stating that the app got granted root access.
Whats happening here? Does anyone have a work around?
Deleting Cleanmaster in SuperSU doesnt help. It is always the same unfortunately.
Best Regards
J
I too also have problems with the autostart function in Clean Master on my Optimus Zone II
First of all, if you've root then you shouldn't use clean master. That's so naive.
About the permissions. Even after root your system partition stays in read only mode. I'm guessing this okay. You should check that out first.
