What app do I freeze to stop the "Android System Update" pop-up from popping up? I can't seem to find it.
Thanks for any replies. I can't seem to find it through a Google Search and want to make sure I don't freeze anything I shouldn't be freezing.

The effectiveness and the apps you want to freeze depend alot upon root.
If not rooted all you can really do is go to the system update apps and delete the data, clear the caches and disable the one you're allowed too.
I may well be wrong but that's all I've found being without root again.
Look up the debloater program for root if you have root and it specifies exactly what you want to do, while providing a nice clean utility to do so.

Can you please post a link? I would really appreciate it. I don't want to use the wrong thing. I have a LG V10 h90120j rooted with a unlocked bootloader.

Is there a way to update to 20l from a rooted 20j without having to unroot?

My phone is running great and after installing the Xposed framework it's amazing but I do have slow Wi-Fi at times and it seems the update might fix that.

I know there have been PLENTY of threads on xda trying to solve this and I've asked questions on the threads themselves and I'm yet to receive a reply. Can someone please give me a small guide (if possible ) how temp unroot.
1. Rootkeeper or any other app on the app store doesn't work when root is protected for me
2. SuperSU uninstall doesn't work for me
3. Flashing a zip to remove SuperSU and Busybox didn't work for me either.
There isn't a file with the name 'superuser.apk' that I could find.
Can anyone help with my predict? I really need to get this working before US Open

BTW I actually don't mind unrooting my phone for a few weeks as long as I don't lose data or backup. If there is a way to do this (which isn't considered a temp root) please let me know

Have you tried the temporary unroot option inside superuser. It always works for me?

I've just tried that and it didn't work. I don't know what the Sky Go app is detecting but I keep getting the same popup that Sky Go doesn't support rooted devices. But thanks for your help anyways mate

I also tried using Android 4.3 which seemingly doesn't have root access, so I don't know what the app is picking up.

Sky Go is an application which allows people with a Sky subscription to watch TV on their devices, whether it be a tablet, phone or PC. I'm guessing u live outside the UK because Sky is quite popular here. As for the app, it is free, however you need an account to access it. Here's the link to it in the Play Store anyways.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skygo
I'm not sure if you can have a look at this without an account but let me know anyway buddy. :thumbup:

Rooted my phone using the Vroot method and did some surveying with permission manager, xPrivacy and I stumbled upon a mysterious app called MtkCamera (com.example.cameraroot). I have no recollection of ever installing this app. I find this suspicious because I use permission manager on other phones running ICS and never have to deal with this app before. Considering all the apps listed are installed from Google Play Store, I decided to restrict all permission and uninstall the app. Check out the permissions list.

I removed it right after I found its existence.
If root fail then we see toast notifications that restore successful and this app we can see in multitask... I think it is for reverting back if root fails...

I'm not convinced. Looking at the network permissions, it doesn't make sense why it would need to control network access.

If you not sure if you want to remove it yet, put it behind a firewall
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jtschohl.androidfirewall
or freeze the app
appreciate the warning
Any devs here want to decompile it and see what it does?

I rooted with Vroot, installed english SU and then removed the Chinese SU using the vroot app and I don't have the app installed.
Removed it as soon as I saw it. Better not run it, and remove it does nothing to the root.

Sure, but what does it do? Does it steal your contacts? Send SMS'? Log your IMEI? Log your keystrokes? Or is it nothing out of the ordinary? Who knows!
I could decompile it myself, but I have no idea what to look for, so that's a complete waste of time.

A quick Google search reveals that "MTK" is MediaTek, a Taiwanese semiconductor company that's in the smartphone business, so I guess that's something? Still doesn't tell us why MediaTek's camera thingy is installed on some Ultras, though.

Is this thing only visible when using certain security apps?

So the reason some people do not have can be simply because they do not have a TW firmware. Have a TW firmware and got it after vroot. But where would be the point for vroot to put a malicious apps on your phone when they can do anything they want while rooting your device? Maybe you should not take your phone with you on the bathroom, they may record you hahahaha.

So you don't find the following permissions suspicious?
Change network connectivity
Connect and disconnect wifi
Full network access
View network connection
View wi-fi connection
Pair with bluetooth devices
Allow wifi multicast reception
Call me paranoid, but I think this is a spying app...
this app with us from the beginning.
this is what I found -platform for the bottom and top of the camera for a detailed explanation of the process and the introduction of the frame code
that does seem suspicious.
Is the view that this root method is trustworthy?
Trying to weigh up if all is well before I root.
Cheers
I along with a bunch of people have root and am just curious what are some of the things you guys are itching to do or have done right away. I figure this could be a place where we share ideas.

Removing all the bloat would probably be the number one thing people Will be doing.
But rooting allows so much more.
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
1. Titanium Backup to remove bloat
2. Get Google Wallet back.
3. Get all my Tasker scripts that required root working again.
No more ads...

I installed Wallet right from the Play Store... haven't rooted my phone yet.
1. Titanium backup
2. no more ads!
3. AutomateIt (it's like Tasker) now can control app specific GPS on/off toggle.
4. I'm going to debloat the crap out of the phone
5. GMD GestureControl (get my swipe to Alt-Tab between apps back)
I almost never get a phone before it's been rooted, and in the few days that I've used the note 3 without Root, I've come to realize that rooting is pretty important in my day-to-day usage.

Are you able to pay with Wallet? I thought we could install it but the Verizon Note 3 would not allow us to pay with it.
What do you mean no ads. I have no ads now. What about DPI. Note 2 was all about 240 DPI. what's the hot DPI now.

I want to root my Verizon s4 using the towel root method . I am running 4.4.2 and my question is do I need to factory reset before I run the root or can I just get straight to it and leave things such as nova launcher as is and root away? I'm me to this board and rooting to so I'd like my first one to go fairly smooth. Thanks Jesse
No need to do anything before beginning towelroot

Hi folks, recently I bought my ney g2 mini and of course the same day I rooted it to have full access to the device via λroot.apk. 2 days later my lock screen stopped working as I disabled via the lock settings, though I didn't. So I full reinstall the original firmware via my PC and the original LG TOOL+kdz ROM and after that u re-root the device. Some days later I had the exact same problem. So I did a second master format and I let the g2 mini unrooted and guess what. It works like a charm till now. Does anyone else rooted user had this bug? Is there another verified method to root the lg without any problems?? Thx!
Perhaps a root-enabled app or a virus is doing it.

Whell, after a few days with no root, i decided to give it a try and re-rooted my phone. Today, i found my lockscreen desabled.. again! I have no idea if it's a virus or some third-party apps with root accsess that may affect my lockscreen.. i post a video showing me changing the diferent types of locking but nothing happens..

I have had this kind of issue myself few times... Its only some of applications that uses root privileges_(most likely some xposed framework) Try to install one by one app which uses root,than u will see which one is disabling your lockscreen. In my case it was XIUmod for xposed
