[Q] ICS freezing randomly after rooting?

Hello all, I'm a newbie here. I have just updated to ICS yesterday and decided to root it today. The root process completed successfully without much drama, but I've noticed after the root, my phone is freezing up A LOT. ICS was silky smooth running Nova launcher before i rooted it, so the root must be the cause of the problem. Each time it freezes up, I must fully reboot the phone to have it working again. But since I don't see anyone else experiencing trouble, I assume it's some of the apps that are acting up instead of the actual root?
I never rooted 2.3.6, so I'm completely new to this rooting thing. If this is a common occurrence right after root and will get better over time, pls let me know so I can feel better lol. If not, how can i find out where the problem lies?

Doesn't sounds like root to me. do you have CWM? If not, flash it and then boot into recovery and clear your cache

Are you rooted with superuser or supersu? I am rooted with supersu without issue

i followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
so i assume superuser? and i guess i have CWM
i think the problem is going away now...although i lost about 10% of battery...
hope this battery loss is part of the freezing and not part of rooting consequences..

Did you happen to restore any apps or anything after root? If not try a factory reset through cwm. Make sure you backup whats on your phone first

[Q] How to deleting all data, un-root?

I want to factory reset everything on my phone, and also un-rooting it, just like fresh out of the box. I got a ton of crap on my internal drive (Nexus 4) and I want to delete everything. What is the best way to do it, and carefully?

This will help to unroot it.

for unrooting you can install first super su app then in settings full unroot check option and your device will unroot

[Q] Only install 2 apps as root?

I have my Galaxy S5 rooted and a custom rom(Rico's rom or something like that) installed, but my friend with the same phone gets better battery life and she is on stock.
So I was curious, can I restore the stock rom and just install titanium backup as root and unlock the hotspot? Instead of installing superuser and all of the other stuff?
If so how would I go about doing that after restoring it back to stock with ODIN?
Thanks for your help!

I think no. But do your friend gives the same use as you to the phone? That must be the first question.

Titanium backup will not work without supersu/superuser. You can restore stock rom and just root only using those two apps if you'd like. But as the post asks above, are you using the phone in the same way? Same installed apps? Same coverage area? All those factors play a role in battery drain.

temp root & unroot question

There's an app that won't work for me on a rooted phone so i tried to disable root in SU but it still doesnt work. My question is, if I full unroot from SU, will it delete anything? Can I just reroot - unroot - reroot - etc... from nexus toolkit without having issue?
I also have xposed installed with gravity and gel. if I unroot, will the changes I've made stick without root?
The only time I actually need root is when i make backups from titanium. Dont flash much and I have xposed setup where I like it so going unroot isnt a big deal. I just want to make sure unrooting and rerooting won't effect my phones setup/files.

You're good, rooting and unrooting won't hurt anything...

well full unroot from SU didn't work. it still thinks I'm rooted. any ideas. btw the game is mlb perfect inning. hoping i dont have to install the stock image and keep my setup. no idea what it could be. I also tried rootcloak from xposed and that didnt work.

Reboot?

no idea what it could be. tried it on another phone. complete reset with only twrp on stock rom and it doesnt work. only thing it could be is that is recognizes that its unlocked phone, twrp or a modified stock rom. #%($&^(

SM-G955W: Need a quick root, then revert back to non-root (Which one to use?)

Hello everyone,
I currently have the Canadian Model of the Samsung Galaxy S8+ (Model: SM-G955W, running Android 7.0 with most recent OTA firmware) which I believe has the snapdragon chip (please correct me if I'm wrong). I have need to convert an application on my phone to a System App, which is something you can only do while rooted. After performing some research, it appears SamPWNED and SamFail are the two root methods to use on this particular phone. My question is: which one should I use in terms of better stability and less bugs? Also, after performing the conversion, I will want to revert back to an unrooted phone - so which method allows for this as well?
Please let me know,
Thank you.

Rooting the phone will wipe the device, unrooting the phone will also wipe the device... you sure you still want to do this?

It would? In that case.....probably not. I’ll wait for a method that doesn’t require wiping the phone. Thank you so much for letting me know.

That will never happen.

In that case...if I was to root the phone (thus wiping the phone), move an app to become a system app, unroot which then wipes the phone a second time, that that app remain a system app? or be wiped along with everything else?

No, the app won't remain a system app because it's doing a full wipe (system, data, everything)
