I successfully managed to root Zenphone 5 built 2. 22. 40. 54 (verified using Root checker) and also the superSU was installed at the end. Now, when I try to uninstall the preloaded bloatware, I still only get the option of uninstalling the "updates" and not the entire app. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,
I would try Titanium Backup from the Play store. But use caution. You uninstall the wrong thing and you could have real troubles. You can also disable things in Android apps settings. But not uninstall. Disabling is safer too. Titanium backup has a freeze option, that's what I use. I'm not sure, but that may be a feature of the paid version thpugh, which I've owned for years.
And heres the goto thread for your device,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/asus-zenfone-5-zenfone-6-to-t2839984
lots of info there, and can ask for help too.
Good luck!

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.

Hello,
I think you need to uninstall them to factory settings first and then remove it using root explorer/root browser, it might work.

Hi,
Phone : ZOPO ZP999 - rooted
The latest month there is something weird going on : 2 'apps' are reinstalling themselves over and over again.
I deinstalled them, blocked them. Even when i block them they disappear and reappear again.
These apps use icons like twitter and facebook.
This is the data :
1. com.roma.boostcleanpro.apk
it refers to this links on GooglePlay : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roma.boostcleanpro
uses Facebook icon
2. com.sp.cp.apk
nothing to find on Googleplay
uses twitter icon
Does anybody knows the reason ?
Is there another installed app which is responsible for this ?
ps : in "security" , unknown sources is not enabled and verify apps which can cause damage is enabled
Thanks for the help
Hello,
You've picked up some malware, you have to remove the malware to keep those apps from coming back. I'm willing to wager that you rooted your device with Kingroot because it deceptively installs apps when you use it. If you used Kingroot then you'll need to find the method of converting to SuperSU on your device and remove Kingroot, then you won't get those apps installing themselves.
To find the malware you can use Malwarebytes Ant-malware app from the Playstore.
For further help ask your question in the forum linked below.

Hi - thanks for the reply !
This phone - my ZOPO zp999 - is rooted with SuperSU. I made the root-thread my self here on XDA So the rooting is OK.
The phone has been working fine all the time so there must be an app which caused the reinstalling of some bad apps.
Therefore I run Malwarebytes and had about 8 issues - see screenshot - removed them and since yesterday the problem was gone...
hope it stays that way
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.
Please help me
so I have already rooted with Magisk 5 times as possible, and have problems with gmail, mobile banking, etc.
actually it doesn't matter if I don't delete the default system applications that are not used with applications like link2sd etc, that request root access. but what is the root for me if it doesn't delete (sorry) the garbage application.
to deal with that problem I only got the trick by reinstalling the stock rom using odin. and not root
and are there other tricks to deal with this problem?
I really need help from you guys.
thank you
