well its a factory installed app so i guess it has root access, the app is the one on this screenshot, ive seen it opens whenever an LG phone has a damaged or broken screen-digitizer. but my phone is wirking perfectly, no damaga, no drops or anything.
what i want is to freeze it or completely delete it from the system apps folder but i dont know what the app is called, do you know? ill really appreciate it.

Hard to say.... If you can get into settings/app/running you can try to see what it is

[Q] Atrix root not working properly

I "successfully" rooted my Atrix using SuperOneClick and have the superuser app. I was able to install and user Titanium Backup. But for some reason whenever I try using an app to screen shot, the app asks for super user perms... Then fails, telling me that my phone isn't rooted. The apps appear in the superuser app as having the correct permissions. This happened with ShootMe and ScreenShot It. Any suggestions?
My best suggestion is to reboot then try it. The second may be the app may need to be updated for Atrix compatability.
I have rebooted the phone several times (as per GetaPhixx's recommendation in his youtube vid) but, that didnt work). I guess I will wait for an update. Do you know of any screen shot apps that are usable on the Atrix?

I just unistalled Shoot Me this morning after not being able to run it on my Atrix. I'm fairly sure your problems are not the result of a bad root. If you try other "rootable" apps, they will work fine (mine do), but the screen capture apps - specifically Shoot Me don't seem to work with the Atrix. I'm running Barnacle, CacheMate and Titanium (that all need root unlocking) with no problem.

I was having the same problem with screen capt apps but I don't have an sd card installed yet and figured that was the problem... Do you have an sd card on yours?

Make sure you have USB zdebugging on when you are using the application; however if it is saying that you aren't rooted at all then.... you should try doing the thing again.
When you plug it in, make sure the USB setting is set to none.

[Q] Missing Select App

How is it possible that i do not have the Sony Select app, app anymore?
Is it because i have US version now?
Anyone has that problem too?
Im on ICS Rooted.
If its only me then:
Is it possible to change region and retrieve the app again?
Or can someone upload that apk so i can try to install it again?
Or as last can someone from the netherlands or belgium give a web adres?
Edit:
I will try a link for select app and will check this as soon as i am home
Also can i make an back up from a other sony tablet s that still has the app after upgrading prerooted
Edit 2:
I tried the url and thats working, +1 thanks to serhii
I made a backup from the URLShortcut.apk changed permissions set it to root - root but i still don't have the app in the drawer and also the app doesn't launch grrrrr. Just want it to work any ideas people?
- I copied everything from the same tablet with same region (never changed) and same pre rooted ics.
EDIT LAST:
I got it back again, and i know why it wasn't there anymore, the new ability to disable apps is quite nice, but if you disable the Help App then also Select app because you block the URLShortcut.apk wich contains more then only one url.... obvious
So, fixed this one.
I never had the Select App app when i got my tablet about a month ago. The only reason i knew it existed was because, after getting my tablet, i played on one in a store and happened to find it. Curiously, when i rooted my tabletg last week and downloaded ics, i suddenly got the missing app.
So much for consistency!
Sent from my Sony Tablet S
So you're saying you hàve the app now?
Thats exactly the opposite from what i have, its not that i use it every day but its annoying that i can't do it even once...
Can someone please make a backup from the app and post it here

Bright house just put out a app. for you to be able to watch your channels on your phone or tablet. My problem is when I install it , a pop up came up stating that I was rooted and that I could use this app. to be use on my phone.(I'm rooted). Any Dev out their could get a fix for this. Thanks guys all you do for us. By the way I have a Galaxy s II sprint.

I've tried some of the Hide Root apps, and so far nothing works. The brighthouse app continues to recognize the phone as being rooted. Sux

At least you got it to install, I get the message telling me that it's incompatible with my device. However, the TWC TV app (which it is likely rebranded from) installs fine. Just doesn't do much good when I have Brighthouse.
Brightouse is claiming "A rooted device does not allow us to set the permissions the LiveTv app needs to function properly".
Is this not such a bunch of crap. If their coders were worth a gain of salt they should have no problem changing or modding any permissions their app requires.
I'm guessing they are scared that rooted devices are able to record anything on the desktop. Sadly there are apps to help non-rooted devices to record the desktop too. So what would be the point of even searching for the xbin folder, which again I'm guessing that they are doing.. If this in fact what they are doing, could we add an app to rename that folder when the BH app is launched and rename it back when it closes?

Sounds like a bunch of bull****. A bit pissed that it aint working because of the stupid rooted crap. Someone has to find a way to modify the installation of this app but who will????
Thanks guys for the responds. Like everyone is saying it is a bunch of BULL****, but hopefully someone will come up for a solution to break this. By the way I started thinking why does it matter if our phones are rooted to B.H.. We pay them for service to our TV/Internet not our phones. It is not of their business what we do with our phones and if we made a decision to root, they should not block this app. to us. We pay the same amount that the person that did not root and they get to use this App.
I tried a little but the program won't get far enough along to help because usb debugging was enabled. I was using eclipse to monitor the log file while I launched the app.
There's a somewhat interesting (too much iFruit for me) discussion here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r27195196-iPhone-Android-tablet-users-get-Bright-House-TV-App-Joy- on the subject. Looks like the reason behind the ICS only is because of DRM. Is it possible, the same reasoning was applied to devices being rooted or not?
the TWC app got a fix for rooted users, any chance there will be a rooted-compatible apk for the brighthouse app?
Wahoo!!
Got it working...
File is attached below.
Uninstall original, if installed, then install this one.
Also make sure any reference to "test-keys" in build.prop are changed to "release-keys"

Hide Root from Brithouse tv app?

Hello all
I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to hide the fact my EVO is rooted from the bright house tv app?
All the I devices in my house can use it but when I open it on my phone it won't work and says the reason is because it's rooted.
Is there anyway to hide the fact I'm rooted from this one app without actually unrooting?

Have you tried supersu, it has a hide feature that should work. Also for reference might want to post in q&a next time. Good luck with the app
well if its like the time warner app all i gotta do is disable supersu and i can stream tv.
I'm running meanrom and have supersu, but don't see an option to hide. The app itself doesn't request root it just checks if you're rooted.
I haven't tried disabling supersu, how do you do it?
Thanks for the first help.
its on the settings tab, uncheck enable superuser. thats all i have to do to get the time warner app to stream.

Thanks, that's what I meant, lol.
I just finished doing that And cleared App data for the bright house tv app and supersu and it still says I can't do it on a rooted device.
Why so much hate towards root, I mean I have to log in and can only use it at my own house where I pay for my services so I don't see what the problem is.
Is that check something that can be pulled out of the apk itself?

It could be taken out, u just need to find someone who has it that wants it out to do it for u.
Also, try disabling su, clear brighthouse data/cache, then reset phone. Still not working?
Well, I disabled supersu.
Cleared bright house tv app data in settings.
Booted into recovery and cleared cache and dalvik.
Still no go as far as hiding to it the fact I'm rooted. It still knows I'm rooted and won't play.
I'm not about to unrooting for this one app either. Just wished it would work. Damn u bright house
I just flashed meanrom and same for me with the twc app. Won't play cause I'm rooted. App works fine for me on bad seeds tranquility Rom.

Lg VuTalk getting shut down

Fount this just this morning. http://m.lg.com/ae/support/product-help/doc-1401122177743-ar-LGEME
never actually used it. Always delete the app on every rom i use
Yeah I had only used it once when I first got the phone. But a co worker said he saw a pop up when he tried to use it so it made me curious. Thought I'd spread the word of what I found.

After it uninstalled itself this morning, I am still left with a Vutalk uninstall app AND when in a call, I STILL SEE VUTALK on the call screen! What kind of half baked nonsense is this?
They should stop making junk like this, along with the rest of their bloat...

It's still comes up on an active call. Anyone know how to get rid of that?

Google Play should have installed an app that will delete the data.
The service (as stated) is going offline July 1st, so that may be why you can still see things.

It did, but that button in a call still remains as does the non functional Vutalk Uninstall app. Very odd...
Hey, sorry for hijacking- but have any of you been able to get a Vibrate On Call Connection (as opposed to an outgoing call dialed) feature to work? I've tried everything outside of flashing a new ROM & basically the consensus is that it's an issue with LG itself.
I only tried to use Vutalk once as I only my mother had it. The app just uninstalled itself a few minutes ago so I searched and found this thread.
If you're rooted you can get rid of the remnants with Xposed (not sure which module it is, though)
Edit: Found it, it's G2 TweaksBox => Calls Tweaks
lg vutalk went of lg server is there any way to reactivate this personally??
Hey all,
I'm actually really upset that Lg took away VUTALK.. it really ruined my day when I found out perhaps it was one of reasons I decided to go with Lg in the first place.. is there anyone that can tell me if there's anyway around this.. I really want to make this feature work again and cannot understand Why everyone felt it was so unbeneficial.. it was very useful to me.. please give me any advice I'm not exactly tech savvy when it comes to this stuff.. but I was thinking if servers down then there's no way for me to go around it?
I not use it never...anyway, i uninstalled VuTalk
