Description

From the listing uploaded by “karenkk”.

Root Toolkit for Android™ I wrote this little root utility for myself to help consolidate and automate some root functions that are available in various other apps, but nowhere all together. Note: this utility does NOT root your Android™ device--it assumes that your device is already rooted. If you have problems or issues with the app, please contact me via [email protected] with as much detail as you can provide. FEATURES: * display current root and device state/status * reboot options (normal, recovery, bootloader) * power off device * remount rootfs (/) and/or /system in read-write or read-only mode; note: remount behavior changed in Android™ 4.2 and higher that causes remount effect to not be usable by apps other than the one that initiated the remount * save (protect) / restore root function; for 4.2 and earlier devices with ext2/3/4 /system partitons; for 4.3 devices, I've implemented Pau Oliva's 4.3+ keeproot.sh functionality; saving root for 5.0+ has not yet been determined * freeze (disable) or thaw (enable) an application (use caution when freezing a system app!); see Settings menu to enable display of system apps * display system (getprop) property values * calculate an MD5 or SHA1 checksum on any file (navigate to selected file, long-press filename, select desired action) * options for selected Nexus devices: -- flash a stock recovery -- flash various custom recoveries -- make recovery "stick" (keep stock recovery from overwriting your custom recovery) -- identify currently installed recovery * bootloader lock, unlock, status (select Nexus devices: Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 (2nd gen 2013), Nexus 10) * small (
