Need help with a root prob - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there. I'm new to the community and don't know where to go so I went to the QandA subforum. Don't get mad at me for being a noob.
Anyway, two days or so, I finally rooted my Nexus 5. I used kingroot, and then proceeded to switch to SuperSU. Now, before I switched to SuperSU, I noticed a problem. It wouldn't let me make in app purchases. It would either say "Try and update Google Play Services" or it would do nothing at all. This problem is still happening even though Kinguser and Kingroot and all that good jazz is replaced by SuperSU. Any easy fix to this or any fix at all?

[Q]Non market app icon

Hello,
If anyone can refresh my memory I would appreciate it.
I have had my atrix for several months. I rooted it almost immeditately after I got it with superoneclick... then the update came out and broke that.
I did not bother to mess with it for a while.
Now that the community has come out with gingerbreak and gladenable, I have rooted my atrix again...
So, to my memory lapse. superoneclick (I think) added another icon that was a non market app store. I think it started with a letter "C" but I cannot remember the complete name!
Is it possible to get this icon with gingerbreak?
Thanks!
Do you recall what this icon/app did?
That may help others remember.
Yes, the icon was a non market app store app.
I remember installing titanium back up using it.
The name started with a "C". Cyllia or cydia or something...
Thanks
I did not use SuperOneClick, as I just jumped on the Atrix bandwagon a few weeks ago, but I do know that Cydia is an unofficial market for the iOS.
Android does not have Cydia to the best of my knowledge. The only unofficial Market app that I know of is the Amazon Appstore.
It memory server me right you are asking about the option in settings/applications... If anyone has the location in root “data/data/??????” For the non market app on off option, let us know .Thank you and I hope that is what you where talking about.

Getjar.apk downloading despite being uninstalled

So back when it was noted on the portal, I downloaded GetJar to get a few free apps. It worked just fine, I got the few apps that I wanted, but then decided that I didn't really need anything else from them, so I uninstalled the .apk.
Thing is, now despite the fact that I do not have GetJar installed on my phone, the apk seems to continue to download itself. Since the portal announcment, I've probably had 4 or 5 downloads of this apk.
I've done a forum search, and the only mention of something like this that I've found is forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20595620&postcount=10.
So, my ultimate question is this... has anyone else experienced this, and how can I stop this from continuing?

MeanROM ICS 2.6 - Device Rooted Pop-Up

Initially I thought it was SuperSU that was causing an annoying pop-up every 5 minutes on my phone telling me "Device is Rooted - Superuser app will be used when using trigger method." But now I'm thinking it could be the ROM itself? I've disabled and force stopped SuperSU (since I can't uninstall it!?) but it still pops up. It's super annoying and I don't know where else to turn. Sorry...

That's probably your problem. SuperSU needs to be running with a rooted phone. You shouldn't be force closing apps anyway.
Also, I would suggest you post or at least search for this in the rom's thread.

Thank you for you help. I actually just tried the disabling and force stopping this morning after dealing with the pop ups the past couple of days.
I did search the forum, and I even searched google. I seem to be the only person with this issue... =\
You could try a different app. Download Superuser from the play store. Run it and give it super user permissions, update the su binary. This will make it the su app so you can remove Super Su.

Cannot install any apps outside of Google Play

Ever since I rooted I cannot install any apps outside of Google Play using a few different apk installer apps. I do have the box checked to install from unknown sources. When I click on the install button in the apk installer app nothing happens. However, the cancel button does work. I was able to install apps this way before rooting. And I have tried installing several different apps so it cannot be bad downloads. Even the new Facebook download could not be installed.
Can anyone think of anything else to check?
Have you tried putting them directly into sytem/app and rebooting?
Thats a new one on me.... I did notice after rooting that sideloaded apps took about twice as long to install as play store or amazon apps. How long have you left it to install?

It never installed, the "Install" button did not register when clicked. It was as if the installer was telling me that installing was not an option. The "cancel" button did work and that is how I got out of the application. I have tried this several times with several different apks using a few different installers.
I'm having the exact same probleem. Have you found the solution yet?

No solution.
Any solution so far?
Hello -- was this matter ever resolved? I'm having the exact same problem.
Rooted Galaxy Note on Jellybean.
As I recall, it happened once earlier, and I think I was able to resolve it, but for the life me can't remember what I did.
I finally got it to work.
1) Force stop Google Play Store.
2) Clear data Google Play store
3) Uninstall updates Google Play Store
I was then able to updates my other apps.

Sounds like a bad app or...
Are you using xposed? That's still causing people problems. Look in xposed issues for fixes.
Are you rooted? And did you downgrade to root?
Any other mods you've done?
To many questions to really help out. But more than likely, your questions have already been asked and answered in this forum.
Just a thought also upgrade your Google Play Services.

I am running stock 5.0.1 lollipop rom. I am not running xposed or and mods of any sort. Should i factory reset my phone and re root it?
I would go into settings>apps and see if you can uninstall any upgrades to play store or Google play services. You can actually uninstall all those apps and go on the web browser and download Google pay store to start fresh and then load apps.
You mentioned Titbu which leads me to believe you may have restored versions of the apps which may be outdated and don't work well with lollipop or restored corrupted data.

Thats the funny and dare i say evil thing about this i can go to the playstore online but when i try to install apps NOTHING HAPPENS no app downloading screen nothing nada. I made the titanium backup immedietly after rooting on lollipop. As far as i can tell i cant do anything more. I have unstalled updates to both services and run force stop on both of them still nothing.
I just force stopped and uninstalled updated on google play store and services still nothing. :/
Try wiping data on those apps also you tube uninstall that completely.
Edfunkycold
Have a great day!
How do i go about doing that? Sorry for asking so many questions. When it comest to android Im a total noob at best
Since you said you have titanium backup it's even easier go into Titbu find the App listed under the back up and restore tab. Click on the App then click on wipe data you can actually click to uninstall also within titbu.
Edfunkycold
Have a great day!
So just go to uninstall then restore? Im just making sure since its a system app and i dont want to ruin my phone
Yeah they install them as system apps but you can remove them. Just start with wiping data not uninstalling. Them reboot the phone. If that does not work then uninstall and then re download them starting with play store. Once that's running using play store download the others. One at a time.
Edfunkycold
Have a great day!
Ok im doing that now ill let you know how it goes
Tb has been hung on the restore screen for about 10 minutes now should i just let it keep going???
You should not restore from titbu you should have downloaded a fresh app and installed it starting with the Google play store. But go ahead and reboot the phone.
Edfunkycold
Have a great day!
Tb is still hung on restoring the google play store its been over 2 hours now :/
I said reboot the phone...
Edfunkycold
Have a great day!
Just did it installed my old back up but no luck is there anywhere i can just download the apk and install manually???
