COMMONS FAQ: Q: Why this tool? Why should i use this tool instead of other available method to get root for BlueStacks? A: Well, this tool is a time saver! With this tool, you no longer have to spend minutes to hours DIY rooting or downloading hundreds of MB of the pre-rooted images. Q: How did you come up with this tool? A: Well, let's just say i got a thought in my head since years ago, wondering "Why would you need another linux to root BS while you already have one? The BlueStacks itself!". Q: How long it takes to get rooted with this tool? A: The actual rooting process should take less than 2 minutes to complete. Q: I got an error message from the tool when trying to root? A: Perhaps your BS has too many apps running in the background, thus not enough free resource available for the tool to use, try disable or uninstall them temporary before rooting. Q: I can see Root.fs being resized, and why 320 MB? A: 320 MB for /system is more than enough for normal users, prior to BS ICS version it give ~167 MB free space! and for ICS you get ~48 MB.. Q: 320 MB for /system is not enough for me, i need to install lots of system apps! A: The future release will support resizing to any size you want, for the mean time you can use tool like TopoResize to resize Root.fs. /system is now get mounted directly instead of a loop device.. Q: I feel that my BS is running slower after rooted using this tool, can i undo or return to stock BS give me? A: Sure! If you got rooted using this tool, just rename the backup Root.fs.BAK back to Root.fs, you can find the backup in one of following folder:
A: Yes, it will!. The first thing i would do after setting up google account is disable the auto update apps feature under Google Play settings menu. A: SuperSU on BS cannot be updated using the usual way, it MUST follows certain steps to update. |
