I'm running the ICS leak, and just installed autostarts. It says it failed to change app status, likely because I did not have root access. Now obviously I have root access, being on the ICS leak already. And root still seems to work for root browser, ROM manager's clock calibration tool, and everything else except autostarts (and also Rom manager's autostart tool.)
Now I know that there are hundreds of threads involving this on google and on XDA, but I haven't found one pertaining specifically to the A2 and ICS leak. I'm working on figuring it out myself but I wanted to know if anyone knew about a known issue involving specifically A2 on ICS leak. Doing a restore now to see if autostarts will work with a clean ICS install.
EDIT: Hm... seems autostarts has problems with ICS to begin with. I didn't know that, as my brother's samsung something or other on ICS works just fine. And they say ICS ready right there on the app store page lol...
ICS leak doesn't require root. You may need to re-root using this method:

Yes I suppose I said that wrong. ICS doesn't require root, but I am rooted. I will try re-rooting, but as I said, root works for several other root-requiring apps.

Did you root before or after flashing the leak? Did you clear your caches and wipe data? If not, I would suggest wiping data and clearing cache and dalvik and flashing again. Also, if I helped you in any way, don't forget about that nifty little thanks button...
i was having problems with apps telling me i was unrooted on the ics leak even though i had rooted and some root operations worked.
i installed supersu from the play store and used that to grant permissions to apps instead of the superuser app and that made everything work perfectly.
i have frozen superuser because i like supersu better.

I saw the "extras" in ROM manager and tried the updated Superuser. It showed up in my apps but none of my root apps worked. I had to revert to a backup to get root back. Anyone else tried?

i think the type of superuser depends on the rom your using, and an updated superuser might not work with the one you have. i tried cooking a rom with the "ninja" superuser and it wouldn't work but when i tried the "#" superuser it worked. if your using a custom rom then i would ask the dev if it would support updated superuser apks.
hope this helps...at least a little.
2.2.2 Superuser.apk does not work for me either.

Installed the new ICS leak the other day. Works great but some apps that require root access aren't letting me use them...like titanium backup and rootdim and battery calibration. I am rooted because root explorer let's me edit build.prop, but something is going on.
Any ideas?
Try re running root.bat(windows) or root.sh(think that's it for *nix). I had thought I was rooted but had to run it again.

Disabled superuser and installed supersu..that worked for me

I had the same problem. Used OTA root protector in superuser and after official OTA super was there but did not work properly. I rerooted using the A2 root bat and now superuser is working properly. The only thing not working is that it crashes when you try to do a backup of the permissions, but that is not a big deal for me.
Just upgraded from the Incredible to the S3. Rooted, unlocked, and running Clean ROM. Wanted to play a movie on Flixster, but it detects root. I used to use OTA Rootkeeper to temp unroot, but it says it won't work on the S3 (I still tried, and confirmed that it doesn't).
Any suggestions?

I have attempted this multiple times as well and here is the basics, it does work, as I am running clean rom 5.0 with root and vodoo ota rootkeeper. I believe the trick is to ensure you temp unroot the device before accessing flixter application. So for instance if you happen to start the flixster app first, which I have a bad habbit of doing, you need to make sure to close out all running processes from flixster to ensure it doesnt detect, believe it is part of the initial startup process for the check, but unsure, either way have tried this on mine and was successful, so figured would try to help, hope it does.
I figured it out. You use SuperSu and disable SuperSu, then restart the phone.

If you froze, or removed any apps that are not normally removable if not rooted, the install will fail. Safestrap has been known to cause OTA failures in the past. Dont know if that is still an issue or not.

OK nothing frozen or removed. But I do have safe strap is there anything I can do with it to make the its work. Like uninstall it?
open the app, choose uninstall recovery.
open settings/apps/manage and uninstall the app
check both internal and external SD cards for any Safestrap folders and delete them.

I've never used safe strap and I tried using OTA rootkeeper to temporarily unroot and it still won't update...

did you update/remove any of the verizon supplied apps? If you froze them with TB, then just unfreeze them. If you have deleted any of them, then you will have to find the root thread here and startover installing ICS, and move forward with the updates from there.
my phone updated and lost root. but the super user icon is still there. i'm having problems with it and like to return it. any ideas on how to remove the icon?
Go to data / apps and delete the com.superuser.......
Provided the app must be installed.

You can delete everything and flash a stock rom before returning it. Which model of phone are you using?
