Super SU has a option to unroot right in the app
BLACKED OUT LTE N4

yes it does but in pac a different superuser app is installed to the settings and there is no way to get that one out :/

I have always just flashed the SuperSu zip in recovery without problems

Why not just use a file explorer with root rights to uninstall system apps by going to
/system/app and deleting it?
Odds are you'll have a file explorer already.. don't see the point in an entire separate app just for that purpose.

You can't do that when it is preinstalled into the framework of the settings of a rom

If you have a rooted phone you can use rootexplorer to remove some unwanted apps from the system/app folder there is somewhere on this G3 forum a list with apps you can remove but for the moment i cant find the name of the thread

Here, at the end of this post ("Clean ROM" section): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15391697&postcount=5
And I recommend you Titanium Backup. The free version just works.
i recommend the es file explorer as an alternative.
use titanium explorer
backup the apps you wanna remove and then remove them
even if you run into probs you can restore from the backup

[Q] Can I delete busybox free, quick boot and supersu after rooting?

As per title, Can I delete busybox free, quick boot and supersu after rooting?
I have used the video title on youtube: How to Root the Google Nexus 4 - Latest, to root my device, was just wondering if I were able to delete those files after rooting or are they required? (I'll be installing ParanoidAndroid soon).
Thanks.
No they aren't required but what's the purpose of rooting if your gonna delete the app that's essential to being rooted?

Alright thanks.
I was just asking since I can save some space. I don't understand why I would require them still, since I've made a custom backup etc;

If you want to use root apps busy box(usually) needs to be installed and super user is a requirement.

Have you run busybox and then used it's installer?
Your supposed to do that once.
Use root uninstaller to delete any app. Keep su

it could also be an app, among other things. have you tried if after a factory reset, and a minimum amount of apps, it still continues?
No I haven't let. I only have a few apps downloaded. Including ROM manager and that's about it oh ya and Skype cud that be the issue?

it could be possibly. could be rom manager as well(or other root apps). is there a certain situation when this happens? do you have the superuser or supersu app installed?

It happened once when using Skype and once when browsing the web and I have the super su app installed

It happens to me sometimes due to a faulty kernel. It happened on stock too though. It shouldn't really be a problem and doesn't happen often to me. It went away after a day or so anyways.

try this, just as an easy possible solution.. boot into your custom recovery and wipe the dalvik and cache, nothing else, then reboot.

I removed that app and installed this one, and everything works fine:

Chainfires SuperSU has been updating and playing very well with everything. The one from root exploit is dodgy at best.

So I flashed the new superuser apk and you were right. The one that came with io root is dodgy. It never said I had any apps that had su rights.
The new app started freaking about su privileges. At least I know the new one is working.

Is it as easy as removing? and installling a new supersu? or do i have to flash it via TWRP?
Will using the superSU over write the previous?
I'm having the same issue but i stopped at that and haven't touched the phone since i saw others have been having trouble after that.
I have not installed TWRP or anything. i just want a simple root as i'm not looking to do anything fancy.
As you can tell I'm still new to all this.

Install the one I posted from the App Store, then remove the normal way thru app manager to remove the other one.
After opening the new Chainfire SuperSU, a pop-up will notify you that it found another version of SuperSU installed, and ask if you'd like to remove it. Select Yes, and the software will remove the previous version for you.
I downloaded the new superuser app and opened it. It said some information didn't really read. It was basically install while phone is still running or flash via custom recovery. I flashed via custom recovery then uninstalled the old superuser app.
The thing is the system part of your phone is read only during runtime and that is where the apk needs to me installed.

You don't need to install in recovery after initial root. This is just for troublesome phones. The G2 takes SuperSU like a champ. It will uninstall the old for you and install new and update without a problem.

You push apk's into system/app and libs into system/lib but you have to find a way to clear dalvik cache and cache so that when you reboot android system will read all apps and create. dex files for them to work and without custom recovery I don't know if any other app would do without any problems.
