Hey, glad it worked for you! Wooo :) SuperRoot Permissions is installed when you root the phone with Universal Androot! You can uninstall it using the SystemApp Remover, its in System Apps. Also (though not 100% sure) I think if after youve deleted everything you can root youre phone using the Universal Androot and Im quite sure it removes SuperUser Permissions aswell! Hope this helps!

Guest rwalton159 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Does removing this stuff invalidate the warranty? I'd hate for it to develop a fault and I've invalidated the warranty? Anyone? Edited October 28, 2010 by rwalton159 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xeyaztian Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Does removing this stuff invalidate the warranty? I'd hate for it to develop a fault and I've invalidated the warranty? Anyone? Hello I THINK it may, now however, If you restored the apps and rooted the phone again, Orange would be none the wiser! And if you're phone wont start to no fault of you're own they wouldn't be able to check... However to answer you're question, I think rooting you're phone MAY invalidate the warranty, but this is a lot safer way to do it than doing the ROM thing, which defenetly breaks warranty!

Thanks for your reply - not sure altering anything is worth the risk. If it was outside of warranty I would not have a problem rooting the phone.

Guest xeyaztian Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 (edited) Thanks, I'm tempted. Is there an easy way to restore the phone back to standard? You can restore the phone by factory settings, but if you dont delete anything you shouldnt then youll be fine! You can also backup apps using the SystemApp Remover!

Guest Patricia1066 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 This really helped me, thanks to all who offered their expertise. The phone is now running as unrooted but less "orange" - I haven't seen any improvement in battery life that I can ascribe to this change, as the battery is still developing charge.

It helps with battery cos less apps are open as some Orange apps are silly and keep opening without you asking them too. Glad it worked for you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest booster22 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Thanks guys works a treat. now nearly orange less. :) Only ones i wonder if its ok to deleate now is alarm 1.3.1 analog clocks 2.0.69 digital clock 1.0.71 The clocks are in widgets ive downloaded better ones from the market/ I asume these are orange as they are "orange" in colour Are these linked to behind the scenes timekeeping or is it fine to get rid? The only other things orangey that i havent a clue on are orangesetupwizard 1.0 sim toolkit 2.1 But ill leave these unless someone knows?
