If I root my device, install something as system app or modify app data, and unroot, will the changes save or will the apps convert to data/app?

So I could root, install something like a modded play store or uninstall annoying Chrome, and unroot, and it be the same? Will my offical status change?

If you root the device flashing the file via odin or via custom recovery yoy can not uninstall it... you have to download the app from Google Play Store and then uninstall it.... but i do not know if the Superuser files will remain in your device

No they won't :|
So your phone will still have stock data... that is what you want right??

Hello everyone... a few days ago i bought from Google Play RomToolbox pro (great app for all root users) and i saw that with an app inside RomToolbox (this app is called Boot Animations) you can download, install and create Boot Animations...
I downloaded many bootanimation.zip files but when I turn off my phone to install them when it turns back on the bootanimation has not changed...
Later i tried to flash it from CWM recovery but it won't do it... so my question is How do we install custom boot animations??

Are you using a Samsung phone?
In case of my Samsung Galaxy y, first I need to enable boot animation, then I can change it.
If you want I can give you files of GT-S5360 and you can try putting then in your phone.
Make a backup first

In your ROM toolbox app, you'll see a root file explorer, use this, go to /system/media
Here you should see bootanimation.zip
Remove it, replace with the one you wanted and change permissions

Never had a Samsung device that I needed to do anything different for bootanimations for but if you say so, I've only had four Sammy's but I'm sure there's one or two out there that is special
I guess I should add to this, using ROM toolbox for changing bootanimations leaves original in place but pushes the new one to data/local which doesn't work for many devices, by manually replacing a bootanimation I can not see how it would be possible for the original to continue playing as it wouldn't be there and there would be a different one in its place
As a side note I have made aroma.zips for multiple devices including a few Samsung's that do exactly this, just I wrote scripts to do the manual parts for the user so they just tap buttons
So yes I can read your above post, I just don't find it to be accurate, but hey technology always surprise me

Sorry for late. I was working on Aroma Kernel Backup Tool. XDA Mobile app doesn't allow uploading files except images.
DO NOT FLASH!!!!! EXTRACT AND COPY!!!!!
Here are the files from GALAXY Y GT-S5360. MAY OR MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH GT-S5310.
MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING
Put bootanimation and samsungani in /system/bin by Root Explorer.
Permissions for bootanimation rwxr-xr-x
Permissions for samsungani rwxr-xr-x
Put your bootanimation.zip in /system/media
Its permissions are rwxr-xr-x
(OPTIONAL) If you want sound for bootanimation, put any sound file (must have name poweron.ogg)
Put poweron.ogg in /system/etc and permissions rw-r--r--
By the way, to press thanks from mobile app, click on writer's name; a menu will pop up and click thanks.

Actually they enable boot animation on galaxy y.

Using CWM........Busybox Commands........No I use my hands
decided to do some research being i never heard of this issue before and it turns out your right @hnkotnis so sorry for saying it was inaccurate
there are some phones whose kernel blocks custom bootanimations, new to me as I have owned only a handful of Samsungs, but like i said technology surprises me
but i would strongly recommend not to flash any scripts or mods meant for one phone on another without combing through all the scripts, a quick brick will often be a likely outcome, turns out this one wouldn't cause a true brick so may be worth flashing.
For the vast majority of android devices this script should not be used, rather just replace bootanimation.zip and change permissions
and if you use or link the script try and respect the author @deathnotice01
as clearly laid out in first post HERE PLEASE CREDIT ME AND LINK THE FILES HERE
so @leodani be careful what you flash and try the standard way first (and always make a nandroid when unsure)
and hnkotnis, what is an aroma kernel backup tool? i mean what is the purpose? sounds unique

@demkantor
I did not take files from deathnotice01, I took them from a custom ROM ported to Galaxy y from Galaxy Pocket.
For Samsung Galaxy y CWM is broken, it cannot backup/restore kernel.
There are other tools which can take backup or restore. But you need to use different tools which can conflict.
I mean different tool for backup, different tool or restore. There are bugs in boot.img renaming..........etc
There was a need of single tool. So I created it.
So I created Aroma Backup Tool for Kernel which can backup/restore the Kernel.
Click here to know more.
Yes... i did... i extracted the files with EasyUnrar Premium and then i copyed the files in system/bin using root browser.... i long pressed on the 2 files and changed permission I tried to reboot my phone...but it would only reboot into recovery but I managed to fix it since i have 2 pocket neos i tried on one( without doing a backup... noob) and i did a backup of the other one and did restore on the bricked one

It is disabled by Samsung. Now you have 2 options if you need to replace bootanimation
Flash a custom ROM having bootanimation.
If you don't want new ROM, then extract files from such ROM (They will be in place from where I gave you mine, check my old post) and replace in your current rom and give permissions.
If you want me to do it, give me link of ROM having bootanimation for Galaxy pocket neo. I will extract those files and (will try to create a CWM flashable zip for you)

Make sure you're defiantly unrooted first. Download Root Checker HERE
If you are, press Menu, Settings, More (tab), Application manager, (scroll to app), Force stop, Clear cache, Clear data, Uninstall.
artnada , I tried that but there is no uninstall option . All that is there is enable/disable option.
This is the screenshot of the result I got from Root checker Pro :

If you found still this supersu icon problem then i will talk you without root access you can't change files in System ROM, so it will remain there even after factory reset.
If you are worrying about re root, then just flash Stock ROM with Odin, then supersu will get removed.
Thanks for all the help guys...I finally removed the supersu app using root explorer app.
I don't know how my phone became unrooted , can anyone tell me how to change it back to its former condition that is before it was rooted . I have got the nandroid TWRP backup of my stock rom !!

Find and flash through Odin stock firmware for your model OR try to recover your firmware by Kies
Firmware update through Kies isn't really helpful. A number of times , it won't work well !!

The newer versions of SuperSU by Chainfire will prompt you to disable. Then you can use a System App remover or file manager with root access to rename, freeze, disable, remove, etc.

CWM Image
Hey if you have a Custom recovery installed (like CWM or TWRP), you can get an image of the whole device (including the ROM, data, boot, etc.)
Press Volume Up + Home + Power button while off to enter recovery.
I recommend PhilZ touch recovery.
(You probably didn't need the /system and some partitions, but it isn't bad to know.)

Well,in your internal storage is a folder called TitaniumBackup,copy that folder to s5 intranl memory,install Titanium Backup on s5 and just restore the app+data(it saves the entire app+data),but you have to have the s5 rooted
If I do a nandroid back with android SDK and then restore it on a s5 would that work because if I root my s5 and reinstall viber with data I won't be able to install the updates for the phone

Nandroid includes the system. Restoring a s3 system in a s5 is a bad idea.
