Quick remote - G2 General

Anyone else have a vizio smart tv? I love the app, but 99% of my usage are the smart TV functions....I got nothing on the app other than basics. Wondering if learning would be an option.

I'm pretty sure the app can learn commands. One guy said he programmed his fireplace.
Supposedly the Remote app is very customizable.

The app can learn

Thanks guys, time to play! If I can get netflix and amazon to launch and use the menus I will be a happy guy!

As others have stated the app can learn and does so with all remotes

SO easy!! Love this thing.

Yea it can learn by going into the universal remote and creating one by following the directions of course i have no remote for my tv but i do for the cable box

Have a 55" vizio. All commands are working, just a bit different from remote. Charter keys don't work, but all menu keyss through menu are working. Just a bit different placement.

Is it possible to reinstall Quick Remote on LG G2
Hi,
My Quick Remote stopped working. When I touch it, all I get is two LG documents. I tried to reinstall an apk file, but all I get is that my current installation failed since such a program already exists.
How can I regain Quick Remote capabilitiers?
Is there a way uninstalling and reinstalling it?
Is there any other way?
In addition, some sources offer a single file, LGQRemote.apk, some a pair - LGQRemote.apk and LGQRemote.odex and some three pairs - LGQRemote.apk' LGQRemote.odex, QuickSet.apk, QuickSet.odex, QuicksetSDK.apk and QuicksetSDK.odex.
Which ones should I use? And, if a pair' how do I relate to the *.odex files?

Try to go to settings>apps and then system apps and find the quick remote and wipe cache and updates if there are.
The odex is also if you have odexed system (stock) and deodexed so without odex probably for modified stock or deodexed stock.

No "System Apps"

Thanks, wulsic.
Tried to locate the "System Apps"', but there's no reference to these applications in my "Apps" list.
May I need a third party tool for this task?

Well, I wish I had it. Checked my list and no sign for its existance. Still, when I try to unstall, installation fails.
Can it be a hidden installation?
Is there a possibility for an application to reported without it being listed?

Do you have the app in the launcher? All the system apps must be listed in this tab. Maybe you have it installed in /data and should be listed in the first tab in this case...
For the installation fail,if you have recovery go and wipe cache and dalvik,sometimes app cache/dalvik got corrupted and you can't reinstall it.
If you have recovery find the thread for quickremote for aosp and try to flash it,maybe it will work.
If you have only root,try to manually replace them and don't forget to set right permissions.

Unfortunately, I took no precautions with my LG G2 and have no recovery options.
I tried your last resort option, "try to search /data for "remote" and delete all you thing is connected with the app", but since android experience is very short. I encounter difficulties implementing it.
How do I run a search for "Remote" in "/data"? I've these apps on my unit: root browser, root checker, ES File Explorer. Do I need anything else?

This is only going to end in tears and bricks.
I think you have some other issue, if you say you get "LG Documents" maybe you didn't actually get the QR files to install at all? I'd re-do whatever install steps.
And as for the install location, you have to flash the zip, therefore the two APKs that installed are:
/system/app/LGQRemote.ap
/system/app/QuicksetSDK.apk
There are some other files which the zip installs.
How exactly did you install it in the first place? I haven't seen anything where you just install the APKs.

My LG G2 came with QR preinstalled. It stopped working, but I don't have a clue as to the circumstances.
I found the installation files in the /system/app/, but can't install them. The installation end up with a failure. Some files must be cleaned first, but which ones, I don't know.

I made that couple of times in my expiriens with android(almost 4 years),without problems and bricks,but there is always a risk.
On the problem.
If the files are in /system/app ,they are already installed and you dont need to install them from there.Download the zip for the aosp mod,open it and see what files and where they need to be placed,then backup the original apks from the /system/app(just copy them somewhere in your SDcard) and then replace them with the apks from the aosp zip.Dont forget to change permissions on all the files you'r replaced to rw-r--r--.
Good luck

So Quick Remote is just not working, you haven't modified the ROM, or changed the ROM in any way??

I did the following:
1. Installed TWRP 2.7.1.0 touch recovery (which, I believe, won't do any good' or bad' for my current problem).
2. Renamed the apk files using SystemCleanUp. Then' reinstalled the program. The results: no change, running QR opens the LG user document.
3. Cleaned the davik cache. (No change).
As to the AOSP installation, please refer me to a reliable howto reference. I've never installed a MOD on an android

Okay, as far as I know, the app named DeviceManager.apk does the job of updating. I have just freezed it with Titanium. It can also be uninstalled. My device hasn't been updated yet (I keep my wifi on 24x7).
Alright rjmohit, I'll look into it. Thanks!
Currently i am still on 1.4.0, if i farked up my NT and need to do the 8x interrupt powerup to get system restore, will any steps (i.e. allow wifi to be turned on to complete the initial registration process) update the NT to 1.4.1 before I get a chance to use Indirect's original zergrush method to root it again?
Thanks.
It shouldnt

For those of you who are unhappy with the 'unavailable' software number, you can head on to the nook color forums to deactivate OTA updates w/o disabling DeviceManager!
But as far as I know, this is the safest method, as the other methods mentioned there dont seem foolproof with the NT.
Has anyone tried to see if this method loses ability to put have off Barnes and Noble store. I dont books or apps available for purchase anymore.

Yes, by freezing devicemanager, you no longer have access to "shop" and if you try and shop online instead, the book, etc. will not sync to your library. So if you actually like using this as an E-reader the way it is designed (rather than using kindle app instead), then hope the FOTAkill.apk does the trick.
Sooooo where can i get fotakill.apk?
I rooted mine earlier with gapps but do not have it.
Fyi, i used the method mentioned on the nook color forum; sqlite to edit fota value from "auto" to "manual" in database and my B&N Store seems to be working fine. Device info still shows version 1.40 also.

You can find it in the first post of the rooting thread, under "Download Link for rooting script:" Inside the Nook&Zergy.zip file under system/app
Mod: If I posted in the wrong place, please let me know. I am new to all of this.
On my rooted NT/not de-bloated, I just received the OTA at ~7:45pm PST, it took ~3 mins to download then installed successfully. I had confirmed that FOTAkill.apk was in system/app yesterday so this did not block it.
Note: I have been using my NT with WIFI ON waiting for the OTA to hit hoping to confirm(not discount) Indirect's theory related to FOTAkill.apk.
Here is a review of my initial NT rooting success, the OTA update and current outcome of no root/no functioning gapps:
12/15:
1. Rooted using Indirect steps.
2. Installed Gapps (of course)
3. Did not de-bloat
4. Confirmed NT root access and installed terminal emulator, File Mgr, Root Explorer
After rooting: (all good)
Button Savior works
Android Market works
Amazon Apps Store works
B&N Apps works
Several launchers work. (Go, ADW, LauncherPro, VTL Launcher)
Use ADW Launcher EX regularly
Some issues with widgets not starting.
Google Services Framework error re-curring inconsistently but not detrimental to functioning.
12/21: Saw XDA post of OTA 1.4.1 warning:
Kept reading XDA forums to assess impact and wait for ideas on solutions
Saw Indirect post that FOTAkill.apk was installed in his rooting process.
Confirmed FOTAkill.apk was present in /system/app on my NT
Installed OTA Rootkeeper
Decided to wait for OTA update to see what happens
What I did not do:
No devicemanager.db edits as suggested by yaggermr post
No Titanium Backup freezing of .apks
No de-bloating (Unsure if proven that this would prevent but assume it does)
I did not confirm FOTAkill.apk permissions but had not changed them. (They should have been whatever they were when this file was delivered in root/gapps process.)
12/22: OTA update received
What was in place that I hoped would work:
FOTAkill.apk
OTA Rootkeeper(don't really know how to use this but think I did the protect and back up.)
Outcome:
Button Savior works
Launcher selection works as does the Launchers
Android Market does not open and the icon weirdly small on dock
Gmail not working
Amazon Apps Store opens and downloads but app install is blocked as non-B&N content.
All other previously loaded apps work. (that do not require root access)
Lost root access.
Next steps:
Full factory reset or sdcard approach seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20502705&postcount=1
Then:
Edit devicemanager.db approach seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20499801&postcount=2
Or
Freeze devicemanager.apk seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20513770&postcount=6
FOTA kill didnt work, time for plan B. Most OTA's check the build.prop through recovery which means I'm modifying the build.prop to change to a nook color and see what happens. It should in theory work.

Then I can verify that blocking appears work. I'm in the same area and didn't receive an update.
I had frozen "DeviceManagerService 2.3.4" with Titanium pro. I also previously freeze "cloudservice 1.0" and com.bn.cloud.svc 2.3.4", and have not defrost them.

[Guide] How to flash Google Apps.

When I installed nAa's port recently published for our Mini Pro's, I noticed there was no way to use Market, register a Google account, or use any of the Google services that comes by default on most ROM's. This is because Google Apps are protected by copyright, so Cyanogen decided to wipe them from their official ROM. This can be easily solved by flashing them, and although this is very simple and easy, I found that there isn't much talking about this. Also, I saw there was some people asking and getting no answer, so I'd like to share this. Yes, flamers, even if it is REALLY easy or whatever you may say.
First of all, click this link. Here, you will always have the lastest version of the package, so don't worry about the dates. Then, scroll down and click the Download link, like this:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note: Ignore the other downloads. EDIT: Unless you want other versions of Android. In that case, go to the bottom of this post.
You will get a file called "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip". Well, just flash that (Install as any other Custom ROM -DON'T WIPE-) and then, when you turn on the phone, you will get the default setup where Google configures your account and download Google Apps such as Market.
Hope this can help someone c:
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Times goes on, and technology advances at insane ratios. Ice Cream Sandwich's CyanogenMod version is here, and so are its Google Apps. We, on the X10 Mini Pro community, have actually the option to install ports of this great Android mod on our phones thanks to the awesome developers we have. Some of us, like me, still decline to use CM9 or ICS ports (In my case, because of the awesome stability and every-day use of the Gingerbread ROMs out there), and thus you should know:
-If you are going to use an Ice Cream Sandwich(4.x) ROM, you should download the CyanogenMod 9 Google apps version.
-If not, if you still preffer to use a Gingerbread(2.3.x)-based environment, download the CyanogenMod 7 Google apps version, the one on the screenshot above on this post.
*I don't know your reasons, but if you would like to keep using an even earlier version, I'll list them for you:
Froyo(2.2) ROM, CyanogenMod 6 (Tiny version for our Mimmi -x10 Mini Pro-) is for you.
Eclair(2.1) is CyanogenMod 5 (Tiny version for Mimmi)
Donut (1.6) is CyanogenMod 4 (Tiny version for Mimmi)
Read ALL in nAa first post in MiniCM7 Rom thread. Look at instructions.

It just says "Flash gapps", it doesnt explain much further and that's what kept me stuck a bit. That is why I wrote this. Not the GREAT guide but will save some minutes of research to some people...
And there is a download link too ;-)

I think if we read carefully nAa said at his post we got no problem for gapps. From 1st flash until now I have no problem on it

There were android ics 4 apps too on the list. have you tried any of them? Just curious.

Describe in detail your problem so I can add it to the main thread c:
I have a bit of a n00b side question i'm afraid. I've flashed a ROM which I love but how do I selectively flash gapps, the Nexus 4 comes without the native calendar, email etc apps, but if I flash the latest gapps these are flashed back onto the device (obviously). What is the best approach get this ROM with the latest Google services apps and not AOSP apps, I want Chrome, Camera, Calendar etc. Should I just not flash gapps and use Titanium back and backup user + system apps or just flash the ROM and then download them from the play store?
Thank you nico, Now i understand why gapp exists!

I followed instructions from a youtube video and installed CyanogenMod 9 on my HTC explorer. Before that I rooted my phone and wiped out factory cache, dalvik cache etc. I also installed one of the gapps-ics-xxxxxxxx-signed.zip (do not remember the datestamp) in the recovery mode by selecting the zip file from mounted USB storage card. Now how should I get back my backed up apps/data and google play to install more ?
N.B.; I took back up using Titanium Backup prior to taking all these steps.
Thanks in advance for any help in this regard.

Thanks Nico,
Almost 2 years later this is still useful info. My first custom Rom install since honeycomb tablet and I had know idea how to flash gApps. Should have guessed from term "flash" that you use recovery but there seems to be a dearth of details. Your post was first google hit.
Sorry for the late responses, I had totally forgotten about this thread! I don't actually know if this will be useful for the ones who asked the questions, but anyways I'll answer them here in case someone else needs them.

Wow, didn't expected to get first place on Google haha Thanks for the appreciation. Yeah, it is not that hard, but I had little trouble doing it while I was new. It's important to understand not to wipe again to flash gapps also!

It depends on how you backed them up on Titanium. Maybe you did a full system backup or just app-per-app backup. If you did a full System backup, try to restore only Data, look into options, custom restore, something like that, there's probably an option there to do that -I usually don't use Titanium haha-. If you did the app-per-app, just look into the list of apps, go to the bottom of the list, and there should appear the apps you backed up, tap on them and restore them with their respective data.
BTW, for the next time, I suggest doing a backup from the Recovery menu, and then do a custom restore > restore Data. Data is where your personal stuff is saved, so no system files will be affected. It may pass down some bugs or troubles because of incompatibility between your backed up ROM and your new one, but normally that doesn't happen.

MD5 is just a file that makes sure your file is not corrupt. If you flashed a corrupt file, you could mess up your phone entirely without any chance to turn it back, so it is important, but you don't have to care about it because it gets checked by the phone itself.

I have a bit of a n00b side question i'm afraid. I've flashed a ROM which I love but how do I selectively flash gapps, the Nexus 4 comes without the native calendar, email etc apps, but if I flash the latest gapps these are flashed back onto the device (obviously). What is the best approach get this ROM with the latest Google services apps and not AOSP apps, I want Chrome, Camera, Calendar etc. Should I just not flash gapps and use Titanium back and backup user + system apps or just flash the ROM and then download them from the play store?

I think you can get the APK for specific apps inside of the ZIP file that you download from Cyanogen, but I don't know if you can just install them right away. If you want to try, just extract the files, delete the APKs of the apps you don't want, and compile it again.
Even though, you actually HAVE to install Google Apps because you need, for example, the Play Store. There's no problem though with having both Google and Nexus apps (Which I think should be the same ones, being the Nexus like the "official" Google phones), I am pretty sure you can install all of them without getting original ones replaced and then deactivate the ones you don't want to use on the phone's Settings, in the Application Manager.
I hope my answers someday help someone. Regards, Nico.

(THANKS) ​
Thank you for this post.
I will profit it to put a problem that I've since Honeycomb and continuous with ICS.
I've created a script to have the music in media library from sdcard2, that script was in init.d folder.
Since then I' m getting the error message:
"android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. please try again."
Even after deleting the script I get this error every time that tablet starts.
I thought that with ICS upgrade this get fixed, but no, I still have the problem.
I'm sorry in advance if this is wrong topic to post this, it's just that I need 10 posts to create threads and post replys in other topics and I don't wanna just bluntly spam in order to ask one questions.
I have a problem rooting my tablet :
Model number : Sony Tablet S
Android version : 4.0.3
Kernel version : 2.6.39.4 [email protected] #1
Build number : TISU0017700
I've followed this rooting guide and also used Automated ADB Driver Installer for Sony Tablet S and P.
Seems like everythings working :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But I'm getting this problem at the very start of rooting with permissions, I tried old and updated rooting tools several times, but I constantly get this one error.
In any case, I hope this problem can be solved and I have everything right. ( Was trying to root a device first time ) x_x

"Android version: 4.0.3" is the problem. To the best of my knowledge, at this time, a tablet that has already been updated to Android 4.0.3 cannot be rooted, nor can it be downgraded to a version of Android that can be rooted. You will need to wait until an exploit is discovered/created.

Try this,
Reboot into recovery goto Advanced then select Clear Dalvik Cache
If that still didn't do it, then you must reflash you Prerooted ICS,
Edit:
Do you still have some sort of file changed?,
if thats the case then i want to know which app contains the error you could try to reinstall the system app by changing its permissions etc,
with Romtoolbox for example. i will make backup try to upload the file you replace it wil the old one reinstall and then there should be a problem no more,
Also make shure you don't have any files left on you tablet wich contains changes,

In recovery mode I don't have "advanced" option.
Only 1. reboot, 2. update from zip and 3. factory reset.
edit: SOLVED
In Setting / applications / All
I clear data for program "Media Storage" and the error message stopped!

Thanks for letting us know, its good to hear that you solved your problem.
Doesn't come out of sleep
Several times a week, the tablet won't come out of sleep. Pressing the power button does nothing and I have to resort to using the reset button on the right side of the tablet. This started happening after ICS update.
Anybody else have this problem? Solutions?
yea i had that problem with HC, but maybe like 3 times since ive bought device. All i did was plug into pc and it turned on....has not happened in ics update, but it probably will.
Hey,
Just one question
Can we flash ICS by placing the zip in pendrive and connecting it to our Tablet?
Will the AIO tool find the zip?
Thanks
Nope, maby it can be possible but the recovery is not made to search in
external devices, only External SDCard inserted in the normal way,
Because if so you could simply search your PC within recovery
I know it can be used for a bootable image for PC but this won't work on Android (For now)
Who knows if some dev will change Recovery, and make it so, that he can find other devices as well.
I am new to all this. I successfully rooted the tablet without using AiO tool. But i have no idea where to proceed next. Can you dirext me to the appropriate forum/topic/post that can help me move forward.

Hello all,
Since ICS update, battery behaviour is very weird, it is dischargind very quickly, also when standby. It last one day and a hal whereas before it lasted at least 4 or 5 days... Am I the only one concerned by that problem ? Do you think it could be caused by something else than ICS update ?
Thank you all in advance...

Its most likely that you have some sort of app installed that drains your battery,
Do you use a Task killer?, that kills automatic?
Because this can cause battery drain aswell, since android has his own way of killing his apps there is no need to kill apps by an 3th-party appkiller.
You can check in your app settings, within running apps, which apps currently are
running, like a music player of movie player.
Also Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Auto Sync and GPS can use allot of energie.
i'm not shure how long my tablet runs if its in standby, but it is longer then yours.
No task killer running, I do that manually...
But I've uninstalled chrome beta and since last charge, 14 hours ago, tablet has lost 11%...
Kind of bizarre...

Nabi 2 ROOT Installer

Nabi 2 ROOT Installer
Use this script to install TWRP Recovery, ROOT, and Google apps to your Nabi 2 tablet. Step by step instructions are included within the installer. While there is another more complex script (by aicjofs, and which was offline when I originally needed it), this one is smaller and simpler. It is based on jmzrootpackage, and I had some inspiration from Victoria's video. I started this with the intention of only making things just a little bit smoother. I ended up adding more than I had originally intended. This installer contains information through each step to help guide you through the rooting process. Linux instructions can be found here.
NOTE: (Jan, 2015) There are newer versions of the Nabi on the market now, and I do not have any with which to test this script, only the original Nabi 2. As a result, it is unlikely that this will get any further updates. The newer models most likely will not work very well, or simply not work at all with this script. If you are capable and so inclined, I officially invite you to use this script in your own rooting project. Just give credit where credit is due.
Summary:
Helps guide you step by step
ROOT your Nabi 2
Install Google apps
Will NOT wipe your data
No Android upgrading message
No wifi issues
Install TWRP
Simple update to TWRP
Reported to fix touch screen issues in TWRP
Includes ADB files
Automatically backs up before rooting
Includes PdaNet driver installer
New Remove Wings (for Nabi 2 v2.1+)

}
1. Check For Proper Drivers
Use this option to check if your computer has the PdaNet drivers communicating with your Nabi2. This is a simple check for existing connectivity. Nothing will be changed. This will also display your Nabi 2 serial number.
2. Install PdaNet Driver
In order for this installer to properly interface with the Nabi 2, you must have the PdaNet driver installed on your computer. This option will start the PdaNet driver installation process for you. Requires Windows 8/7/Vista/XP (32 or 64 bit). If you already have the drivers installed, you can skip this step.
3. Install Recovery and Root
This will install the touch enabled TWRP recovery to the tablet, as well as copy over the rooting file. Use the TWRP install button to select the rooting file and apply.
4. Install Google Apps
After your Nabi 2 is rooted, use this option to install Google apps. After it is copied over, use the TWRP install button to select the Google apps file and apply. Reboot the Nabi 2 (parent mode) and then update the Google apps to the current version of Google Play.
5. Update TWRP
Here you can choose from two experimental versions of TWRP, or drop-in your own custom version. You are given the options of testing and installing. That way you can make sure it works with your Nabi 2 before you flash it.
6. Remove Wings
This option only applies to Nabi 2 system version 2.1+. With version 2.1, Fuhu filled up the /system partition. As a result, there is not enough room to add Google Apps to the Nabi 2. Removing Wings will free up nearly 105 MB, and will allow Google Apps to be installed. You have the option of removing the files with or without backing them up first.
9. Exit
As you might expect, this closes the program window.
Misc. Notes:
Tested with US edition; With other versions you mileage will vary...

Does this method allow you to purchase and.or download apps from the Google Play store or is it just installing the Google Apps that have been known to work on the Nabi (sans purchasing apps from Play)?

Any idea if this would work on the first nabi?
Also does this leave the parent / nabi mode intact?
This topic may be dead but I just ran this script for my niece's Nabi 2 to get some better games for her and everything worked except for the Gapps. Flashed 3 times using the script and once using the custom recovery(flashed Gapps.zip). Can someone please help?
I followed all the instructions.

I do not have access to the original Nabi, so I cannot confirm whether it will work or not. Most likely it would not work. As for the parent/nabi mode, YES. The process used in this script does not in any way delete or remove your data or Nabi 2 system information. It only adds ROOT and Google apps. Once you have root you could remove whatever you want.

This topic is not dead, I've just been unusually busy this year.
Have you tried wiping the cache/dalvik before flashing GApps? Please post back with some information about your Nabi 2. What is your Nabi kernal #? Have you verified that root is functioning correctly? Is there enough free space available on your Nabi 2 to allow installation of GApps? Is there anything else that you have attempted but did not list above?

Firstly thanks for the reply. Secondly the Nabi in question just received a update in the software and while I was under the impression that it was a nabi one the software clearly showed that the file was Nabi2 update. So with that being said, does this root installer still work on the latest update?

With the latest update (2.1), there seems to be some changes in the Nabi2 that prevent the Google apps from properly loading. Everything else seems to work fine (meaning your Nabi2 still gets rooted). There are some custom rom's in the wiki that include root and gapps.
I am looking into a fix regarding this. I have a possible work around, but it requires manually moving some files. Although, I have not tested it yet so it may not work.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant the "play store" that you said that you installed from the "everything nabi" website. I need the link to there, so that I can see what it is that you installed. If they have more than one version listed there, then I need to know which one you downloaded and installed.
You have Nabi2 Product version 2.1-release-keys
I noticed from your screenshot that the Nabi2 has a new entry: Edition NABI2-NV7A-US which does not exist yet on the one that I have here (which is much older).
Have you done anything to verify that you have properly functioning root on the Nabi2?
I remember that screen cover. A little window cleaner, and those white lines come right off. I actually used that as the screen protector for a while. Until I got an actual screen protector that fit the entire screen completely.
Simple answer is the system partition is full. Gapps and full 2.1.27 don't fit. Have to delete something to have gapps fit on /system. I discuss a bit of it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45866724&postcount=1647
That solve my problem, thanks a lot for you both !

A new Beta version (1.5.0) has been posted. It addresses the full partition issue with the Nabi2 v2.1+ update, and introduces updated *.zip files as the beta element. For those interested, please read the updates on the first post, test, and post back your experience with it.
More would have been included, but due to unrelated RL issues I had to save the rest for a future update.

Issues with kingo root

Hi Guys,
I installed Kingo root app and clicked on one touch root. I got an error as shown in the screenshot, after the setup was 100% complete. Inspite of this error a new app Superuser has been installed in the system which cannot be removed. It is also giving an error when I open it, again check screenshot. I am using Samsung Galaxy SIII Android 4.3. This thing has made my phone really very slow. When I open apps like say Clean Master now it asks whether you want Superuser to allow rights or something to Clean master, there is no difference when I click yes or no. I contacted Kingo Root's customer support but they are not replying. What should I do?

What model do you have?
I rooted my phone using the same method, did a complete removal of it's binary and used SU by Chainfire instead (this was over a year ago)
If you cannot uninstall the new app then it might be a system app, and you know you need root to install an app as a system app, so use root checker to check your root status
Clear /cache partition using your recovery then try again, if you don't know how to access recovery then I don't suggest messing with SuperUser

Actually the methods of rooting mentioned here were too complex for me so I tried that app. But it gave an error after the completion of one touch root and now the Superuser app that it has installed also gives an error when I open it and it cannot be removed. Kindly check the screenshots and let me know what should be done in this case?

- Have you tried cleaning /cache then trying again?

I downloaded a root checker app from Play Store, unfortunately when I click on check status it hangs, Could you please share the apk of a good root checker app? I usually clear cache via App Manager app, is that ok or do I need to use some other app for this and then try again rooting?
Hi looks like you missed my point but I'll help
Uninstall root checker now,
1. Hold Volume UP, Power button, and home button at the same time and keep holding them until the Samsung logo comes, then release the combination
2. Use your volume button to navigate the menu and choose clear cache partition
3. Use the power button to select
4. Reboot
5. Try to root again using Kingo Root
Looks like KingUser has messed up your system
You root the I9300 with cfautoroot. You flash it via odin on a pc.. Not rocket surgery.
Now you need to flash a stock rom and start over..

I got all your points dear. If I select "wipe cache partition" using the method that you have mentioned, then will it delete any data from the phone or memory card?
....Looks like KingUser has messed up your system.... True that. When I force stop and disable the superuser app that has been installed in the system by kingo root, the phone speeds up and everything is great.
Why isn't root checker showing whether it is rooted or not? It should do it's job I guess and not display a message that root checker is taking too much time I can wait or force close it..

It will not delete your data, only your cache which builds up over time
You can root your system easier if you have a PC, not as simple or fast as Kingo Root (apk) method
BUT if KingUser messed up your system be careful, it might cause some cross conflict with cfautoroot

Rooting the phone with pc method is way too complex for me so I won't be using that method. Plus it deletes the data so a BIG NO.
Why would kingoroot mess up my phone's system? And how to make sure whether it really has?

Yes
Clearing cache on an individual app only clears the cache that it holds
Cleaning cache partition will clear all of them, including the ones which you cannot normally clear
It won't affect your boot time, unless you clear dalvik which isn't available in stock recovery so, the time it takes depends on you
No you don't need to take it out

Cleared cache, took about a second. Should I try to root again with kingo app now? And should I disable or enable the superuser previous installed by kingo?

Yes try again, might be wise to disable the superuser app
I'm assuming you can't uninstall the superuser app because you don't have the option to, which means it is a system app and to convert an app to system app you need permission to write to system, it might partially flashed KingUser into your system, ran into an error and failed to revert back
What Android version are you using?

I tried again but nothing happened when I clicked on one touch root. Should I enable superuser and try again. I am using Andorid 4.3. This was the last OTA update for my phone.
What you have mentioned is exactly what I was thinking.

What do you mean nothing happened? It failed or does it do nothing?

Apologies for scorning you earlier but it perplexes me why people choose what seems to be the easy way but in fact, due to lack of research, it turns out to be the easy way to break your phone.
Is your device carrier locked?.
Which software version is it on?.
It isn't broken. Those 3rd party root programs embed themselves into system and you cannot remove them by regular means. It must be removed by script from within recovery and replaced with the proper supersu by chainfire.
Either, neither, or.. It makes no difference now. You should flash a stock rom and start over because the method you have chosen has locked you out when the purpose was to gain complete control.
If you are using the international I9300 i can provide you with the software you need to recover the device back to stock but it will be 4.3. I will also provide all the rooting software too, all from my google drive.

I turned on superuser to take this screenshot-
P.S. I cleared data, cache and uninstalled updates before turning it off few days ago. I hope it is ok

I work for like 8-10 hours, a sitting job but the mental pressure is way too high. Then I am underpaid, who isn't? Then there are family issues and stuff. So, in my life I don't have the time to do all the research and everything. When I had time in college I hacked my Nokie S60v3 phone N73ME using the secman method. I bought this phone in 2012. I was waiting for a simple method as trust me I don't have the time and life to do all the research. So, this is why I used this simple method.
It has not locked me out. The thing is when I turn on superuser my phone hangs and when I turn it off it works well. I am using I9300 with 1 gigs of ram. I am from India so I guess that it's an international version. It has Android version 4.3. It is not carrier locked. I have mentioned every other detail in the thread.
I don't know what's going on, you might have to flash stock and do it again
