Root Confusion - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

Hi everyone.
I have a rooted samsung tab pro 10.1 with Linage OS 14.1, with nova launcher made to look like the samsung S8 touchwiz.
I wanted free some memory and delete some standard apps like calculator, note book, alarm and browser (I use samsung internet).
When I downloaded a system app remover it said the device needed to be rooted. So I downloaded ES file explorer file management app and this said the same.
When I download the lineage ROM does it lose root access and if I reroot my device will it mess up the lineage ROM in anyway.
Hope people can help

Hi people
I have done some digging on the old web and found out what I needs doing.
Basically you have to download the superSu add on for the right version of Linage and the ARM version(I will add a link where to get the add-on)
After that you need to unlock the development options and then enable the level of root access from there.

[REQUEST] AOSP apps package Android L

I've been using the Android L port and I'm loving it. The only problem is that I hate all the official google apps. Plus the ROM only comes with Google photos. I really want to put something together once the ROM is more stable (although it really is good right now) that includes aosp style apps.
Does anyone know where I can get the apps? Can I just pull them from a custom ROM? Or can someone put together a zip that has a few aosp apps? I'm mainly thinking browser, gallery and a file manager, but suggestions are welcome.
EDIT: I was able to pull the apks out of another ROM, I chose the latest (7-20 at time of writing this) CM11 and put the files where they should be /system/app and I changed the permissions to match other files in the same location. Then I rebooted to recovery and wiped both caches. File manager (CM File Manager) and gallery worked fine, I can't figure out browser though. I found an app on the play store that was an AOSP Browser installer and tried that too, but browser keeps crashing on launch. So if anybody knows how to make AOSP browser install please enlighten me.
Thank you.

@pawtip when are you going to add a file manager to your new rom ..

[I am posting this because I am not able to post in your thread]
When are you going to add a file manager in your alpha version of android 6.0.0 for samsung galaxy grand duos ...it would solve lot of my problems
Use EsFile explorer, etc.... :|
I don't think gapps are available for AOSP 6. Use apk extracted from other android phones...
and how do i install es explorer (or any app for that matter..)

although i can download apk but i cant install it cause there is no file explorer....
this problem can only be solved if there is a built in file explorer...the rom will then become usable.
maybe this will help.

Make sure you back up your ROM first.

Any stock/AOSP/Google Dialler (lollipop) apps for Galaxy Grand Prime?

As the title would say, are there any lollipop dialler APKs or something? I can't install it from Google Play since it's not compatible with my version and i don't want to install apps such as KK Dialler or ExDialer :-\ I also searched for APKs but can't find any version that fits my phone's OS (Android 5.0.2, API 21). The reason why I am asking for this is simply because I hate Lagwiz- i mean Touchwiz, and I am replacing original apps one by one (disabling them with root access). But i simply can't find Google dialler (looking for version 2.0 because that's for 5.0 lollipop), so I have thought to ask around here
I hope people with similar issues will find this thread to discuss about this... You can also give me a flashable zip but with some detailed instructions since I have little to no experience with flashing zip files (never did it).
Anyways thank you in advance... :good:

[REQUEST] Samsung Browser

Hi. I have installed stock EPD4 following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-2014/general/rom-upgrade-guide-extras-t3410132
I used the debloater script. I read the whole list of apps removed but I missed the browser. I tried installing Samsung Internet from APK Mirror but it doesn't work. Please, can someone give me the app and its relative files? I like tablet mode of Samsung internet, and now I'm sad because it's gone.
I don't want to reinstall the whole rom.
At least, can you tell me which files I have to extract from the rom? I should add them by myself.

I don't know if you are still looking for this, but this is the APK from my Note 2014 on lollipop for the Samsung browser.

Question Changing default file manager app

Is there a way to change the default file manager app without rooting or using custom rom? Xiaomi file manager has so many ads and i want to change it to google files.
i think you can remove - some of the - the ads by going to settings and disabling the "show recommandations" - chinese for show ads
there's a lot of those toggles in miui, also in the security, browser, search in the miui forum there was a guide on where to find them all.
or easier, just go for a custom rom
im not to sure you need to set it default, just install the google version from google play and open that insted of the xiaomi version.
youcant really remove it since it's ibstalled as a system app.
