[SOLVED] unable to uninstall system apps in CM10.1 with Jarvis kernel - HTC Pico (Explorer)

I have just installed latest CM10.1 and Jarvis kernel V2 with the new overclocking method. Whenever I try to uninstall a system app either through root uninstaller or by deleting the .apk file I can't. I suppose that it has something to do with the permissions of the /system/app folder. I tried gaining full access to this folder but I still can't uninstall any system app.

Don't mount system as R/w after OC, if u want to mount system as R/w to delete any app or to change permissions in system, so restore your OC frequency to 600 MHz..

I restored cpu frequency to 600MHz, enabled root access in file manager, tapped the lock icon at the top left corner to change / from RO to RW an was finally able to delete any unwanted system .apks. However when I try to uninstall a system app through root uninstaller it still says uninstall unsuccessfull although the app is gone from the drawer. Is this the correct method or I did something wrong?

Even root uninstallers need r-w access. U can't uninstall an app until you decrease the max frequency to 600mhz.

I did all of what you guys mentioned above. Now I can uninstall system apps through root uninstaller. It still says uninstall unsuccessfull but the app is uninstalled. Weird but who cares since the app is really gone?
Thank you guys for your help!!

[Q] Root Question.....

I just rooted my Asus TF101 tablet with Brk's Root Toolkit v8.
It says I am now rooted, but is there any way to know for sure?
I have rooted my phone before & when I did that I was able to remove all the useless apps that came preinstalled, but on my Tablet it will not let me. I was thinking with root access I would be able to do this.
I am thinking of flashing to another ROM, but want to be sure this thing is rooted first.
Any insight is appreciated!!
Thx!!!
Do you have a SuperUser or SuperSU app installed?
I would open it and see what happens.
Also, I do not believe you can uninstall system apps JUST being rooted, you need an app like Titanium Backup to do the uninstalling. They still are not uninstallable in the Settings - Apps section just by rooting.
Alternatively, install a root explorer (or enable Root Explorer permissions in ES File Explorer) and see if you get prompted for root access without errors.

Ah.....forgot about Titanium back up. I knew there was an app I needed to use.
I open SuperUser & it just says No Apps in List or something.

Hmm...strange why dont u ask the the guy who made the rom?? Try asking them on the original forum they may have a solution
there is nothing urgent in this.. And busybox is already installed on our phone..
Deleting the apps with root must do the trick.. or use Titanium backup to do it !

[Q] app turn to system app of status problem and also root question

I used titanium to convert some app to system, and does the app that are convert are greenify, xposed frame work and also gravity box.
1. Does the convert give the app priority to do the process without root permission and work as a original system app does? or the app still need root permission to run?
2. if the converted app still need the root permission to run, so is there any way to make it without root permission and run it ?
3. is there any way to hide a root app when it is running?
I know some of those step can be solve by flashing the other ROM, but I'm curious about the answer of without flashing the ROM.
Xposed framework isn't an app. You must have move the xposed installer.
1) nope
2) nope
3) what are you trying to achieve?

Converting a user app to a system app has no effect on the permissions, it just moves the app from the user partition to the system partition. A root app still needs root access to run.

How i uninstall fallout shelter from rooted 6.0??

Simple question...i hope for a simple answer
Use something like Solid Explorer or <insert file explorer here with root permissions> and remove the folder "com.bethsoft.falloutshelter-1" (or without the -1, shouldn't be that hard to find...) from system/app or system/priv-app and reboot.
using titanium backup with root permission to remove this/any apps.
also can try ES explorer with root permission to remove system app too.
always restart after remove system app(s).
Is the Fallout shelter game (pre-installed) any different from the free version on Play?

You can disable it from Apps in the Settings section. If you must get rid of it entirely, PixelVixen got it

You have to disable dm-verity, look for thread on xda there is already boot image patched with disabled dm verity.

Use system app remover
Disconnect internet
First uninstall update user app
Then uninstall system app
i have the same problem. No way to delete the app but just disable it. I have root and tried app remover, root explorer and app deleter ... same results.
Gave a try also at your method disabling internet but no success.
Is there a way to delete the native app ... i cannot install other apks because there a conflict

No problem
What we did:
Busybox installed : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer
Termux installed : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux
ES File Explorer installed : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
Open ES File Explorer, open Root Explorer on left side menu.
Open Termux, write "su", give root permission.
Write this "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable"
Write this "busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"
Open ES File Explorer, delete this folder "system/app/com.spotify.."
Reboot and done :fingers-crossed:

While the Termux told me it didn't find busybox and that didn't really seem to do much, I still did everything like this and it worked
