AirDroid incompatible with Core Prime/S820L? - Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers

I can't get AirMirror to connect to my S820L, either thru AirDroid Web or the Airdroid server app on Win7SP1. Is it working for anyone else?
First I should note I'm using Psilocelium's excellent pared-down v4.4.4 ROM. Whenever AirMirror tries to connect, I get two SuperSu messages on the phone, the first one in two lines. The first line states that "Airdroid has been granted superuser permissions" but the second line reads "kill -15" followed by some process number, which changes each time I make the attempt. Seconds later there's a second message, "Airdroid has been granted superuser permissions for an interactive shell." Then the AirDroid server app shows, "AirDroid failed to get root permissions...."
I also have an LG Optimus Fuel, on which AirMirror works just fine. When I try to use AirMirror with it, I don't get the "kill -15" message, it starts with the interactive shell message, then the chmod and so-on. Originally it was running the same identical version of SuperSU as the Samsung but I've since updated the Samsung to the latest version, which didn't change anything.
So I'm wondering, is AirDroid even known to be compatible with the Core Prime? Or might it be a SuperSU problem, a hiccup in Psilocelium's ROM, or (most likely of all) operator error?

[Q] Messed up install of Android Market

I tried installing Android Market using the copy to device and load with Root Explorer method and was only partially successful. I get forced close messages when running the market app. At one point I had the Market app working but it would not complete any downloads. Now I just get the message "process.com.android.vending has stopped unexpectingly."
I am not sure what state the Kindle Fire is now in. When I try to reinstall Google Feedback, it will not let me. Previously, I ran SuperOneClick and rooted the device with no problems. Now when I re-run the root command, it gets to step 7 (Wait for Device) and hangs. What apps and data do I have to eliminate to get back where I can try to install Android Market again?
P.S. I also get a forced close message on the eBay app but it will then run it okay.
You have the latest version of the KF v6.2.1 that has broken root capabilities.
You lost root and super one click no longer works.

Looks like you fell into the 6.2.1 trap. You'll have to wait until someone finds a way to root 6.2.1 but I don't know if there will be such a thing.

worked like a charm
instal an apk on the fire, extract a zip to adb on your computer, copy paste a few lines and you're good to go

What & where is this "myls" process

My N7 is rooted and encrypted (manually, no toolkit) with stock rom.
I left it unattended for a couple of days, and when I flip open the cover, there's a process called "myls" asking for root permission. I denied it twice, and hasn't been asked since.
I went to terminal and tried to find the process/file named "myls" and found nothing. Nothing out of ordinary shows up on installed apps list. Search for myls+android yields nothing relevant.
How do I find the app/process responsible for this root request? Is this something I should worry about?
Thanks!

I have the same process now requesting root access on my galaxy nexus phone. I am rooted and running codename android ROM. I'm also curious to know what this myls process is that would like root access...
Hi. I was curious too about this process who popped up today asking for su after i was playing with scripts etc. Then i searched on active processes from terminal and noticed that myls proc is used by ScriptManager app ?. I'm using that app from two years and today is the first time i see myls proc. Maybe that's depending on what script we use with the SM's widget becouse myls popped when i run the "flush.sh" script of V6 Supercharger from the widget. You can try yourself: type su on terminal, then type ps and check the aplication that has the same USER as mysl. On my case is app_91 same as SM. Hope that helps ?
Bump?
Yeah, this requested access after I rebooted my CM10 device. My only root apps are:
Titanium Backup
AdAway
SetCPU
Pimp My ROM
PDroid 2.0
Script Manager
Root Explorer
Android Firewall
GOO Manager
Lucky Patcher (for an irritating license nag -I pay for my apps)
BusyBox Pro
SuperSU (paid version)
I run v6 and KAK scripts, too but have been doing that for ages. It's the randomness of it that I find suspect. Any further thoughts in this would be quite helpful as this seems to be the only discussion about it on the internets, period.

[Q] Problem with Franco kernel and Superuser

After a long time thinking about it, I finally decided to try to root my Nexus 4 and install the Franco kernel. I wanted to do this mainly to get some control over the audio output of my device.
The amazing Wugfresh Toolkit got me up and running as root. I then used the Cyanogen auto-installer to install Cyanogenmod 11. I was very happy, and went ahead and downloaded the paid version of the Franco Kernel Updater from the Play store.
All good, but then when I went to lauch the Franco Kernel, I got an error saying 'You're root, but Superuser seems to be denying access. Open Superuser, choose 'forget' and come back to the Franco Kernel and you will likely be asked to allow it'.
So I went to Superuser (took me a while to find it because it used to be an icon on my desktop but it seems that it went away after I installed a custom theme, and I found it only at the bottom of the settings list). I couldn't find anything about 'forgetting', but I could see a log that showed 'deny' then 'allow'. So I went back to to the Franco app and voila! It was open and allowed me to look into all the different functions.
Using the video which is up at the Franco Kernel page at the Play store as my guide., I tried to go into 'Kernel Settings' to access those audio controls... and strangely, there were only 4 items there, the vibration control and 3 others. None of the audio control choices were there.
I thought I had to flash the Kernel so I went ahead and did that. After restart, I again got the 'Superuser' access error. I opened Superuser, but this time I could not get it to 'allow' the Franco Kernel. I could see the log with lots of 'Deny' events. I then did something I probably shouldn't have - I clicked the 'trash' icon. Now, it just says 'There are currently no Superuser app policies'.
So I'm at a standstill. I'm not a huge tech guy but I thought I would give this a try because how else will I learn, right?
Can anyone help me figure out
a) How to simply get the Franco Kernel app open again (by configuring Superuser to stop denying it), and
b) Why I can't see those audio controls in Franco Kernel?
Sorry for such a long post
Nick
Wow.
I saw that there was an option to 'Disable' Superuser permissions. So I tried that, but the Franco Kernel error message still popped up.
I went back to Settings to open Superuser and reset it to where it was... and now the Superuser icon has disappeared from the list at the bottom of the Settings page!
It doesn't show up in the list of Apps either (but it never did, even when I was searching for it earlier and found it on the Settings page).
CyanogenMod has their own implementation of superuser. And as such they can put it in settings instead of in an app.
Here is how you re-enable the superuser menu http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39903306&postcount=5
As for your how to allow root action, see if there is an option in the superuser menu for something like a default action and make sure that it's set to ask for permission.

Thanks a lot for the response. I was able to tap 7 times and get back to Develope Mode. I then clicked Developer Options and turned it 'on' as instructed. However, in the long list of items on that 'Developer Options' list, I could not find anything that says 'Root Access'.
Can you give me any indication where 'Root Access' can be found?
Thanks again, I will try to Google it in the meantime.
Unfortunately, I just cannot get Superuser to allow the Franco request. I can see the 'deny' event and I have played with everything available to me via Superuser-->Settings, but there's nothing there that says 'Forget', which the error message from Franco tells me to look for, and there's nothing that says 'Permissions' or anything else with which I can allow Franco!

When you open the superuser tab of the settings app, you should get a list of all allowed and denied apps. When you then long-press on one of the apps, you get another window where you should be able to deny access (to the apps that are allowed) or vice versa
Moreover, Franco kernel is not officially compatible with cm, so don't expect a bug-free experience even if you get it working.

Isn't Franco recommanded only for AOSP roms ?

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, when I open SU, the main window is empty and there's a message saying
"There are currently no Superuser App policies".
Trying to open Franco and allowing SU to deny it doesn't populate this window - it just says the same thing. When I click on Settings or Logs in SU, I can see the logs with the denial events. Even long pressing on those doesn't pop up a box which allows me to give Franco access.
Any thoughts?

I see. Okay, I wasn't aware of that.
It looks more and more like I am going to let Wugfresh re-configure my phone. I am assuming that in its current state, I can ask Wigfresh to just re-do the root process. Everything was going great until i installed Cyanogen and then Franco.
As an aside, rooting the phone has solved a problem I was having with my Gmail app. One initial startup each day, I would have to do a restart to get the Gmail app to pull emails in. It was always exactly two starts that were necessary, and it always worked on the second start. The native Andorid app which was handling my Hotmail didn't have that problem.
So rooting has been a positive for me so far.

Aha, okay. Well, maybe the thing for me to do is let Wugfresh re-do the root process and then try an AOSP ROM. Of course, the thing about CM is that there was that handy self-installer.
This is a slippery slope, I can see that. I have seen a few good guides here for doing this stuff manually. Maybe the time has come for me to really figure it out...
In fact the phone is definitely a bit unstable now. It's working fine but the screen is flashing at me a lot. The Swiftkey keyboard intermittently disappears when I am writing an email or a text.
I think I'll start over again. If possible, can someone confirm for me that I can just use the Wugfresh toolkit and ask it to do the root process again from the phone's current state, or do I have to do a restore back to factory and then do the root process again from there?

GlowNooter Root - Connectivity Error

Device Details:
Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight, Software v. 1.1.5
Process:
I have been following Instructions on: blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2012/05/28/how-to-root-nook-glow-using-glownooter-includes-googles-app-market/[/url]
Progress:
I created the recommended backup, installed GlowNooter root, and connected to WiFi (which I have confirmed through the browser app)
Problem:
I opened YouTube and attempted to sign into my google account and received an error message. I tried to open the amazon market app, to obtain Titanium Backup to fix the issue but "content could not be downloaded because of a network connectivity error." I have verified again that I am connected to the WiFi and that it is working (on the nook). Going back into YouTube now causes the YouTube app to crash and returns me to the nooter home screen.
Notes:
Some part of the login process did work because my gmail recognizes my username.
Also, since I was stuck and frustrated, I tried to refresh my email (to see if it worked) gmail crashed. Now when I click on gmail it automatically tries to refresh itself and crashes every time.
I am hoping to avoid having to activate my backup.. but do not know how to proceed. I would be grateful for some assistance.
FWIW I just re-rooted my NST recently (after upgrading from 1.1.2 to 1.2.1) using the rooting tool Nook Manager, then I used NTGAppsAttack to install (Google) Market, GMAil, ... apps. I found the combo of these two tools to be far easier to use than the other available rooting tools which I had tried and had used when I first rooted my NST a few years back (Nook Manager did not exist then).
If you plan to use Nook Manager you'd have to activate your backup -- or, better yet, use Nook Manager to reset to factory-fresh stock for a guaranteed clean-start for your 2nd rooting attempt (which was what I did in my 2nd iteration).

Question: Is it safe to log into gmail after rooting?

Hello!
So I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900i)
I flashed the kltedd .tar.md5 file through odin (downloaded the .tar.md5 file through Chainfire's CF Auto Root Website)
Everything worked, after going through the whole process my phone rebooted and everything seems normal.
All my data has been preserved and it all works fine.
The only problem is to check that my phone actually has root access I need to download one of those root-checker apps from the play store, but I need to sign into my Gmail account to get to the play store in the first place.
I just wanted to know if it is safe to log into my gmail account on a rooted device - is it possible in any way shape or form that I might have a sneaky keylogger or some spy-ware that could potentially see my Gmail password?
Any help would be appreciated
Sincerely, a noob to XDA Forums.
If you have rooted then there should be a SuperSU app or similar, and when you enter it it should tell you somewhere if root is working fine.
There's an easy way to check for root, which doesn't involve any app, but you need to be able to connect the phone to a PC and you will need USB drivers, and to get your hands on adb.exe (or android-tools-adb package on Linux). Assuming you've done that:
* Enable developer options. (Settings > About Phone, tap Build number 10 times, you will get a popup telling you that Settings > Developer options has appeared.)
* Enable "USB debugging mode".
* Connect via USB to the PC.
* Run `adb devices`.
* You will be asked if you want to accept the debug connection, and possible if you want to enable MTP, say "yes" to both.
* Run `adb shell`.
* Once inside the shell you can type "su[ENTER]". The terminal should freeze and you should get a popup from your SuperSU app asking if you want to grant root access to ADB. If you don't get a popup and "su" fails in the terminal, you don't have root. If you don't get a popup but you get a "#" prompt in the terminal, you have root, but you don't have a root controller app, which is not good (anybody can get root).
Another even simpler method would be to use a terminal app... provided you already have one installed. Most custom ROMs do, stock ROMs don't. Then you just use the same "su[ENTER]" stuff in the terminal.
also, you can bypass the whole thing of logging into your gmail acct and go directly into your phones main screen, go into menu, settings, about phone and tap on the build number until you see the message stating that you are now a developer, back up one step, go into developer options, check the box to allow the installation of third party apps and just download the root checker apk from elsewhere. Sounds compllicated, but its easier than CLI stuff for the uninitiated

also also, ive never heard of anyone getting a keylogger after merely rooting their phones
It's technically possible if you get your "root app" from random websites. It's a golden opportunity for a hacker, you're practically begging them "please exploit my phone, I'm gonna help by running your app and bypassing all safety measures".
security should be fine as long as you dont lose your device or download apps from unsafe sites.
as for whether it is rooted or not, already answered above.
Good to see another aussie here.
I'm still a bit of a noob too but happy to help with any endevours regarding phone, especially model specific ones (I have G900I too).
