Is there a way to stop Google Services running all the time using unnecessary amounts of my battery?
Tripping knox is mandatory (root or twrp). Then you can use servicely (root) to kill systemupdateservice or flash the modified google service from calkulin (twrp).
am having the same thing. is there is any way to disable that thing without root ????
I had the same problem. I deleted the cache from google play services and rebooted the phone. Seems to work for me now.
if you just need root, use ping pong root, then do what you need. it doesnt trip knox.

My goal is to COMPLETELY get rid of any root files / SuperSu files that are located on my device without having to reformat. Couple months ago i managed to install SuperSu and gained root and I did my own cleanup of bloatware apps and whatnot. Since then I have deleted SuperSu by going into the settings of SuperSu and clicking on the "Clean Root" option but without doing the original boot files option. Doing so, the phone reboots, cleans up , deletes SuperSU and i no longer have root. This is great and all but just one problem reminds.....
I can no longer play Pokemon GO because of the newest update that came out yesterday since it checks for rooted devices. Is there a way to completely remove all the files that are associated with the root process / SuperSU so that I can play this game. I have tried to use the app "SafetyNet Helper" to check for Google's SafetyNet CTS tests and it fails after i tried uninstalling SuperSU. I have heard of the Magisk app but it looks like you need a unlocked bootloader to install it.
Is there a way to get my phone back to the original state without reformatting my phone through Odin. At the end of the day, yes, i would rather have a rooted device than to play Pokemon GO but say what you will but this game has gotten me out, walking around my town, being social and actually making friendships.
Thanks for any help in advance,

I want to have fb messenger in ultra power saving mode (UPSM). for that i need to use the UPSM Manager app which requires root. I really do not like to root, because more and more apps are blocking rooted devices (Barclays banking, android pay, pokemon go). So I am asking if there exists some methods for gaining temp root (e.g. with adb). so i can install and use upsm-m once and then reboot and root is gone. It is important that the flag is not flipping.
Thank you for all your help

Nope, and even if you could, the app would fail as soon as root was removed

I expected that, on my old htcs there were temp roots available.
But the failing of the app after removing root, is not a problem. The app is just a configfile creator. Since the config file has changed, the app is not needed anymore.
Ive found a few for CM/Lineage versions, and COS12 but not one for COS 13 Official.
Does anyone happen to have a twrp flashable one? Or perhaps a list of safely removed items for the purposes of below usage.
And could all messaging and telephone/SIM services/apps & cyanogen phone home stuff, be removed as well? Making mine into a PokemonGo tablet for my kid. Doesn't need anything except for Play Services GPS/Wifi functionality, & ability to install from play store. I know it can all be removed through root however, everytime I root, and eventually full unroot, I get the incompatible OS screen that Niandicks setup to deter cheating... Have not found a way around it and do not want to deal with magisk, pph SU, suhide and so on, thus TiBU is not an option. Would like to just flash stock COS13 f/w, flash a debloat script and setup for my kid. That's all.
So the thing was the secure folder app and the samsung pay app and health app is saying I have root even though i never installed root, and even checked if i have root via root checkers saying that i have no root... how do i fix this???
Did you install a different ROM?

i haven't installed any rom but I did retrieved the old bootloader [ I changed to s8 boot loader but came back to the original boot loader (backup) ]
It appears that any modifications you've made in the past have left behind "pieces" or corpse folders/files. I have a 930F and in order to use banking apps, payment apps, etc. I had to use Magisk (hides from newer apps quite well). NO superuser or su framework can be present (apps see it right away and su doesn't hide well on new devices / apps). So I believe that there is a remnant or file related to root triggering the warning msg you are seeing. My advice would be to flash fresh firmware (also a full wipe).
*Sometimes changes made related to root (even if you don't have root) can trigger apps/system warnings even though you didn't root.

Would this affect major os update? and how do I remove remnant/corpse files
Hello!
I have a question about ROM, is there any that is without the unnecessary applications of Samsung, Google etc, example: Samsung Members, Samsung Connect, VR Gear, Samsung Health etc, a clean but non-root rom, why use bank applications and cards.
Sorry for the question, I always used cell phones with root, but I did not use banking applications. Is there a solution?
The touchwiz based ROMs like SuperMan let you choose what Samsung apps and Google apps to install during the flash process, so you can just untick the ones you don't want. There's also a debloat script floating around somewhere which removes unnecessary apps.
You can also use root, and a ROM with Magisk which hides root and passes safetynet so long as you don't use Xposed. That'll let you use bank apps.

Thanks for the answer, I was an old user of my old and good Xperia Z2, rooted but now with the S7 I'm lost, I just wanted to have a way to not have unnecessary applications.
I'm finally not needing something that needs root, just like it used to.
