Used the ping pong root for at&t s6 and worked great. Deleted a lot of crap and was happy. But the galaxy apps app keeps finding a way to redownload itself. Tried to go through settings and turn off auto update And everything. Anyone have any tips??
I'd be interested to know if there's a workaround to this as well. Once I know for sure we can get rid of the bloatware I may jump back on the S6 bandwagon.
Isn't there a way to remove the download list app from the Play Store so that they don't redownload automatically?

On the G3 there was a folder which had a list of apps it would download no matter what, wonder if the S6 has something similar?
Did you reboot your phone after uninstalling?
Even without rebooting it does it. Play store auto update and everything is off. I did notice in kinguser after deleting things there are files that show up at bottom of the uninstall list. File names like com.Flipboard or com.shealth its weird files for the apps that were uninstalled. And even deleting those from list they just show up again. I'm going to look around file explorer see if I can find anything.
Samsungs S Health app is another one that won't delete. Found the com. Folder with file in it. But says can't delete. This is with root access. Maybe we just need to flash a whole new ROM. I'm sure cynagen working on one
maybe try using sdmaid, it uninstalls well for me
What are you using to uninstall? I see you said Kinguser so I'm assuming not using Titanium Backup. Try to get supersu instead
I tried a couple times to make SuperSU the main app but even following the directions in the ping-pong root thread I just can't seem to make SuperSU work for some reason
Hi, may you can install an "Root explore", then just go to /system/app and directly remove apk files of those annoying apps from your ROM.

The title explains it all. I'm trying to get rid of all the bloatware and other system apps I don't need on my Droid Mini (4.4 19.5.3, rooted, w/p off, BL locked) and some apps (specifically the Amazon appstore) I can't get rid of no matter what I do (it seems to be the apps in the /system/priv-app directory). I use Titanium Backup (I have the pro version), and it acts like it uninstalled it but it's still there. I use Clean Master and try to uninstall it but it fails. I use ES File Explorer (I have /system r/w mounted) and try to delete it and it says device or resource busy. Also get the device or resource busy error if I try to remove it via ADB. So I'm at a loss here.
Try to use system cleanup app from the playstore.
That app can see whats installes in priv-app.
w/p on/off isn't something i quite understand as i have only used bl unlocked maxx/mini, but what I personally do is install Root Browser, navigate to system/priv-app and rename the offending applications to app.apk.bak (example: Amazon.apk becomes Amazon.apk.bak) This way, if an update comes along I can erase the .bak and have the stock crap back. If you can't do this with your setup, i apologize, i just thought it might help, as I hate having to install an app just to do one function, and Root Browser is a great app for many things like this, not just one function.
Anyone else using Autostarts on their S6? If yes, are you able to use it?
This is the app i'm talking about:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts&hl=en
The app opens fine and the first time you try to disable something Supersu pops up to ask if you want to grant it root access, but after that a white box appears and nothing happens.
Attached a screenshot of that white box.
I've already tried several things but to no avail: flashed a custom kernel so SE is permissive instead of enforcing, deleting the root access and reauthorize it, etc.
It's not lollipop because it works on my Tab S and Note 3 (before) both running Lollipop...
Tried another app as well (forgot the name) and receive a message that root access failed (if i remember correctly). Clean Master and Elixir 2 are doing the job at the moment, but Autostarts is much easier to use for that kind of stuff.
I'm not having root access problems with another apps.

I've not been able to get it to work on 64 bit Lollipop both on my Galaxy S6 and Nexus 9. Wish I knew why!
I will email the developer with the issue.
I the mean time I've started using Myandroidtool which has it also categorised in different events (at boot, connectivity changed, etc.). It's under Receivers Not as good as Autustarts but it's pretty decent.
Anyone get a logcat? Please.
I am adding it to mine via adding the code etc...
So please upload a catlog so I can see and maybe can figure it out.
I rooted my phone with kingroot and while i was using the extra rope, i hung myself. The settings.apk in my phone has become somehow damaged, and will not open. The .apk still exists, but every time i try to open settings (directly or otherwise) it closes with a pop-up saying: unfortunately settings has stopped. I also tried to replace kinguser with superSU and failed leaving myself with confusing root access that is only revealed when certain apps like varied root checkers tell me i'm rooted.
I cannot install non market apps because when settings became damaged, the box was unchecked. All i need is to be able to fix the settings.Apk. I don't have a computer and i can't update superSU binary. I have factory reset my device and tried to find solutions onlinen to no avail. I can access the hidden menu and terminal emulator without root. I need to be able to enable non market installation some how. Can anyone help me?

As title says. I installed android pay. I went through the setup which changed an nfc setting from sim card to processor. Then I restarted my phone. About 6 apps are missing. If I go to settings/ application manager/All. I can see them there but they are greyed out with an SD symbol above them.
Annoyingly this includes "suoersu". Android pay doesn't work with root so I was hoping to turn root off temporarily. I can't uninstall supersu, install it from the playstore or from apk. I can't even install other versions like superuser etc.
Any idea as to what's going on greatly appreciated.
It's a galaxy S5 with xtrestolite rom.

Why don't you simply clean install the rom again? For using android pay you can try using Magisk and SuperSU systemless mode.
Thanks for the reply. I will give magisk a go.
This phone is my work phone and also has lots of photos and video pf my kids. I think it's all backed up but I always lose something when I reflash. Currently apps that were granted root in the past still have it so not a big issue yet. Xposed is missing tho so I won't be able to update modules. If that bugs me enough I may have to reflash rom. It has been smooth for 2 years at least. Probably due for a refresh. Maybe even a new phone.
hey, i am confused by my android phone. it is installing an app called 'notification' by itself. i have tried to stop it by restricting 'installing from unknown sources' in settings and by uninstalling superSu. but it keeps installing it. i want to know why& how this is happenning.

Some other app that you've installed is doing it.
Have you rooted your device?
What method did you use to root it?
Did you use Kingroot or KingoRoot?

It absolutely has to to be something you installed.
You didn't answer me question, by the way.
Did you root your device with Kingroot or KingoRoot? If so, that is what is doing it.

not with kingroot!
i rooted it with framaroot about a year ago.but the 'self install' thing began two weeks ago. new apps i hv installed are AIDE,,SCR pro & apk editor pr
Go to “developerettingUncheckInstall apps from external sources”(or something like that).
If the app is installing from play store delete the last install app. It maybe any thing like anti virus, phone booster, battery booster, twrp, recovery etc.
If the app is not installing from play store but downloading from internet then Go to settings> enable developer options> uncheck the box which says “Install apps from un trusted sources (or something like that). Then uninstall the last installed app or the app which u think is causing this issue. Same as above list.
Try closing all tabs in ur browser also.
Then install C cleaner app. Run it. Delete the files which u don't know. Then back to normal
