I'm new pretty new to rooting and the XDA community, so I two questions.
The first question Is this app safe to use and is it open source?
It's called EmojiReplacer (Link to XDA thread)
The second question would be how can I determine for myself if apps are secure?
I ran the APK on virus total and it came back clear but I'm unsure if root access could bypass any of this, thanks in advance for the help!
Apps what require root-access generally are unsafe, IMO.

Hi, I don't understand what do you want to do, but if you want to remove ads on android you can use apps like adaway or adblock (you need to be rooted) or you need to modify your hosts file like here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916098.
Thanks for help but I want to remove the ads from app I made with andromo app maker not just block the adds on my phone itself with another app.
I did find an ads folder in (smali/com/Google/android) folder but after recompiling it reappears.
We bought some cheap 7" tablets for our kids, as they'd been playing games on our TF300T and I wasn't getting a look in!
Google MID-741KID-PNK
On the TF300T, I was using the app "Kids Mode" by Zoodles to help manage their use i.e. blocked content, promotion of educational content, etc. I thought I'd be able to install that app and use it, but the tablet comes pre-installed with its own app which auto-launches on start up. The two aren't compatible so I've had to stick with the pre-installed app.
1. Is it possible to stop the pre-installed app from auto-loading and/or remove it? I'm not even sure where it is as it doesn't come up in the list of installed apps.
2. Could I try flashing a new ROM? No Laser devices come up on the XDA Forums though... so what would I use?
(current install - Android version 4.4.2, Baseband version Unknown, Kernel 3.0.36+ [email protected]_desktop #393 Mon Oct 21 2013, Build Number JDQ39)
Thanks!
Mark.
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately there's zero development for Laser devices, which is a shame because they're awful and desperately need modification (got one for free when buying a laptop, it's collecting dust). As far as uninstalling pre-installed apps go, you usually can't without root access. It might be worth trying some of the root exploits that you can find in the root directory:
How To Root
If you have root you can use an app like Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall a pre-installed system app.
Thanks timmaaa, I'll give that a go. :good:
No problems, good luck!

Hi guys I know this is a very simple post but since I'm new to forums I thought I would just start with this.
So let's get straight to the point you will only need to download two apps to get root access and have ultimate control over your Android device these apps are all you need:
•Root all devices = I'm a new user and can't post links so just download in play store.
•Supersu =
I'm a new user and can't post links so just download in play store.
•And that's it all you need and if you guys want to help me code a exposed module contact me @0823254209 on whatsapp thank you.

rooting any android device will be different than rooting a certain device. every device differs, and they are made by different manufacturers. rooting a nexus will be different then rooting any samsung, for example.

Hello All,
I have tried searching the forums and the internet at large but have not found an answer to my question!
I am using lucky patcher on my rooted OP3 running Nougat. I have used it to crack some in-app purchases. Lucky patcher gives you the option of saving the purchase for use in the future. My question is: Is there a way to backup these purchases as I intend to flash a new ROM and don't want to lose the cracks that are already working well.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Backup your cracked app with cached, internal and external data, odex file and all other option from Titanium backup setting.

You can't add or remove anything from system without root.
Some malware has been known to install files/apps into system, but that is very specific and depends on the device having certain vulnerabilities.

Sir, your quote "Some malware has been known to install files/apps into system, but that is very specific and depends on the device having certain vulnerabilities" i could not understand .
Could you please elaborate what kind of event you have come across regarding malware that can install files/apps into the android system and what kind of device it is , so i can understand better.
I hope someone will soon help me out .

I can't give specific instances with specific specific apps on specific devices. It wouldn't matter even if I could because specific instances have nothing to do with understanding how or why malware gets into system.
It all depends on what is built into the malware and what vulnerabilities there are in the device's kernel.
A generic example is Kingroot, it's an app that is used to root devices, it is well known to install malware and extra apps into system when it is used.
