Just curious, what happens if you install an app that needs root - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

To a phone that isn't rooted? What would happen? Crash out?

No, depends, some apps is optional for root access, some is necessary for root access.
For the first type, some functionality that requires root wouldn't work but other part is OK.
For the second type of apps, it will politely says you don't have root access and then exit out

Uninstalling Superuser

What would happen? Would apps no longer be able to get root permissions or would they automatically get them?
To the best of my knowledge you can't uninstall superuser without going to back to stock.
Also the apps that need superuser won't work

If you delete the app, nothing will get root anymore. If you delete the su binary, the same thing would happen.

Temp root?

Red somebody had it but I don't believe them anybody confirm?
By the way I'm on a lot of pain killers so if anybody has already asked this I am so sorry!

not aware of any method for temp rooting. why not fully root it?
Certain cable providers like time Warner won't allow you watch live tv on their app. Some games too when rooted

You can fully root and then you can use the SuperUser app to temp unroot.
Only Temp Root that the Amaze had was on 1.36. Since then, it was always a perm root.
Can someone link me to the guide that instructs how to pull bloat apks through adb?
In the hospital right now so it's hard. And thank you so much for everything you've done all of you

Not possible, you will need root to change CPU settings
to change cpu, root is required
you can not do that without root permission

Has anybody noticed the new Play Store Permission?

Some apps that use root access are now showing a SuperSU permission?

great! play store should also not let the user install root apps if they don't have a rooted device, so they can't rate the app complaining it doesn't work for them
Nope
Yes. This is to let users know better because root permissions supersede other permissions.
Apps that don't declare it should be treated cautiously

So apps with SuperSu permission won't have to ask the user the SU priviledges? That would be even more dangerous.

that's where supersu or superuser app is for, it asks if you want to give su access

Superuser keeps asking for root access

I rooted my tablet and I have Superuser on it. When I use some apps it works fine, and others won't start because it keeps asking for root access over and over. Any ideas? Thanks!
