I just clean flashed the Resurrection Remix May 7 build and I am still having troubles uninstalling system apps using Titanium Backup once again. I can remove regular apps just fine though.
I have already tried "mount r/w" using a file explorer, updated to latest SuperSU and unchecked "Mount namespace separation," went to Developer Options and granted root access for both apps and ADB as well as enabled Android debugging. SElinux is set to permissive. Any ideas?

Of course superuser got updated again and everything goes crazy.
Titanium backup can't get root after this new superuser updates today. What to do what to do?
I was planning to go to the previous version by using titanium backup but i can't use it because of no root..
stupid superuser...
Have you tried running superuser to allow it to enable root access for itself?
I've just updated it, ran it, set auto response to allow then ran ES File Explorer and Link2SD and everything works.
automatic response is on allow set.
link2sd works, but titanium backup doesn't and now neither busybox.
i manually installed from recovery this:
su-bin-3.1-arm-signed.zip
Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
but i still can't obtain root with titanium backup and busybox.
what else to do?
Try checking the superuser app on the market. See if there are any other reports about this issue. If not, then email developer via the available options on the app page.
In my case with sony live with walkman w19i, I need to always enable usb debugging to get it work.
If I disable usb debug, then I'll get problem like yours.
Please report this bug. Don't know how to contact the dev,,,,,
I have also performed the following:
Settings -> Apps - Superuser -> Force stop -> Clear data -> Open su and update binaries.
I have an SGS3 with cm 10.2 and the secure settings has updated and uses the new system+ but I can't remove the helper. It gives me invalid configuration in the screen to install the system+. When I browse to the system/app folder I can't delete because of wrong permissions. When I try to change permissions on the folder it already has fuel permission for owner but I can't add write for the other options. I do have root access.
Anyone have any ideas?

I've got the exact same problem on my Nexus 4 with CM 10.2.
Edit: I just played around a bit and had the new version of System+ uninstalled.
I deactivated Secure Settings Helper in Android Settings -> Apps -> All. Tried to remove the securesettings.apk under system/app via terminal and adb without success. I deleted everything relating to secure settings using Titanium Backup. When I was unsuccessful, I opend up Tasker and unsurprisingly got a couple of Plugin Error messages.
Then I thought I might as well reactivate Secure Settings Helper again, so I did and also installed the new System+ Secure Settings app. For some reason via this app, I could now remove the helper granting root permissions again in the process and enable System+.
tl;dr: Try deactivating and reactivating Secure Settings Helper in Android Settings -> Apps -> All and then remove it via the new System+ Secure Settings app.
I have the same problem, also on a Nexus 4 but with stock KitKat. I have root, but I can't uninstall Secure Settings Helper either through the app or manually.

I'm not sure how this worked for you, because the System+ module supposedly can't be installed unless the Helper is gone. I did try uninstalling with TiBu, and it said it was successful, but I think that only removes updates to the Helper, and not the original apk.
After updated, many applications seem to lose root privilege.
For example, FX File Explorer cannot browse into several folders; they will be shown as empty folders.
When I reverted back to version 2.46, everything works right again.

I had a similar problem when I installed Super SU 2.65, the root explorer could not browse into internal memory folders and could not write there, also the Titanium backup could not write on the internal storage, so I did some experiments and found the solution : go to super SU settings and uncheck the 'Mount namespace separation', then reboot the phone and problem is gone.
Click thanks if you found this helpful.

Thanks, I will try that.
I had never thought of unchecking that option because it was checked in version 2.46.
I am trying to move an app from /data/app to system/priv-app. I never encountered this issue before.
My Nexus 7 2013 LTE tablet (deb/razorg) was acting up and I had a bunch of apps on it. I figured the easiest thing to do is just wipe the thing and start fresh. So I used Nexus Root Toolkit to flash the latest version of stock OS (6.0.1 (MOB30X)) and then I rooted it using the latest Magisk (v18).
So I have root, I am able to see all the files in /. I tried using FX with mount R/W (tried mount R/W on "/", "/System" and "/system/priv-app") to copy the app folder from /data/app to /system/priv-app., however it failed.
I tried using 'App systemizer (Terminal emulator)' created by veez21 with Terminal emulator to move the app, but that didn't work either... despite App systemizer stated it was done.
I figured it could be the OS so i tried flashing it again and rerooting it again with Magisk, same issue and I tried an earlier version of the stock OS (6.0.1 (MMB30S)) same issue. Tried it again on the latest OS and this time rooted it with NRT instead of Magisk, same issue.
I clearly have root as titanium backup works fine with restoring apps.
So I think for some reason the OS is denying me write access to /system/priv-app, despite I did mount r/w.. I think I did all the steps correctly..so I am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. .. maybe I am missing a step somewhere..

Let's try to cover the bases and go from there.
1) root checker verifies the device is rooted?
2) you have Magisk root manager installed?
3) you have the latest version of busybox installed and have granted it root permission.
4) you have gone to system settings>developer options>root access and have set root access to "apps and adb"? (you may or may not have this setting)
5) you have set mount R/W? (you have also granted your file manager/root explorer superuser/root permissions?)
6) your bootloader is unlocked? (this may or may not be necessary)
7) you have set your SELinux polcy to "permissive" mode instead of "enforcing mode? (this may or may not be necessary)
8) have you checked to see if there are any Magisk modules that you might need?
9) you said that Titanium Backup is working, Titanium Backup has a feature that converts user apps into system apps for you, have you tried this option?

2) you have Magisk root manager installed? Yes I have Magisk Manager installed, safetynet passed
3) you have the latest version of busybox installed and have granted it root permission. Yes, installed to /system/sbin
4) you have gone to system settings>developer options>root access and have set root access to "apps and adb"? (you may or may not have this setting) Not an option
5) you have set mount R/W? (you have also granted your file manager/root explorer superuser/root permissions?) Yes, FX has roots right based on Supersu and i have mounted R/W prior to pasting it into the director
6) your bootloader is unlocked? (this may or may not be necessary) It is unlocked
7) you have set your SELinux polcy to "permissive" mode instead of "enforcing mode? (this may or may not be necessary) Base on App Systemizer, SE Enabled is False, therefore I assume it is off
8) have you checked to see if there are any Magisk modules that you might need? Not that I know of, I have moved this app as system without it on my Nexus 7 before without any other modules and also have done it on my Pixel 1 phone without it
9) you said that Titanium Backup is working, Titanium Backup has a feature that converts user apps into system apps for you, have you tried this option? Yup tried it, it just hangs there, nothing happens

Sounds like I covered all my bases... so I am puzzled
Hey guys, so I tried using a system app remover to remove YouTube. On reboot, phone froze, crippled my OS. No biggie, just reflashed my rom. My question is, is freezing YouTube with titanium backup a better option or will that likely yield the same result? Making me just have to reflash my rom again anyway.
I'm running OOS beta 9.
xxx-No Limits works at doing this. As well as replacing it with You Tube vanced if wanted. I prefer NewPipe as my replacement.
Use magisk module Debloater(Terminal Emulator) to remove any system app, you also need to install magisk module busy box and Termux from the playstore.
If you want to install YouTube Vanced you can only disable official YouTube app and install non root Vanced and it will work without problems, root methods will need to disable apk verification, and magisk modules will overwrite official app so, the playstore Will update it even if you deactivated automatic updates.

With a file manager with root capabilities or just file manager in TWRP don't forget to mount system first. There you can delete any pre installed apps you want just careful what you remove as could lead to issue or loss of features etc. The tomato debloat script or xXx module should have a list of safe to remove apps.
twrp file manager has been the best. Just follow the confusing steps below
Reboot to twrp
Go to mount
Mount system and vendor
Go back to main page
Go to file manager
/system/system/
App
Data
Priv-app
Vendor
Product
there are several folders with these apps installed into so you'll have to go around and delete them
Only thing it doesn't delete is India.img (because oneplus has been sucking Indias dxxx while letting everywhere else struggle)
