Hello guys! So, I have a Nexus 5 (stock ROM, twrp and rooted) for a few days now, and I already unlocked and rooted it using the Nexus 5 Toolkit by WUG's . I have the TWRP installed, and using the root checker from playstore i can confirm that I have root. But the strange thing is that it looks like I dont have permissions to the System. Let me explain the problem: I want to install App Ops, for example. Like always, I go to play store, and download the application. Open the application, do install (SU appears and I grant permission), reboot, and when I open the App Ops, it is in the menu to install again. Tried with this flashable zip from @apatal, but no luck. I already tried to install others zip through recovery and had no sucess, but I thinked that was the zip that was damaged. Whats wrong with my rooted Nexus?
Hey there,
I've tried installing Youtube Vanced a couple of times on my OP6 but to no avail so I would like some help from you guys!
I"m following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757
This are the steps I'm doing:
Download the ytva-universal-installer-v3.0.zip
Download the White/Dark arm64-v8a.apk from the "Rooted downloads" section
Move both the .zip and .apk to my phone
Boot into TWRP
Install the ytva-universal-installer-v3.0.zip
Reboot system
Auto-updates have been disabled in the playstore.
Youtube has been unistalled from my phone.
I've recreated these steps with the armeabi-v7a .apk, but that did not work either.
Downloading and installing it within Magisk did not work either.
Am I doing something wrong? I'd like your help.
Thank you in advance.

Hey, Simply use magisk just uninstall all version of YouTube and install modules via magisk [emoji6]
Envoyé de mon ONEPLUS A6003 en utilisant Tapatalk
I installed it as a module in magisk. Reboot. Done. Everything working?
I downloaded the apk version and the universal installer and the "ytva_use_this_settings.sh".
then, i edited the config file to detach youtube from the playstore (so i can get rid of the update notification).
Then just used magisk to flash the zip installer
install YouTube from Google Play, then magisk module, restart and then uninstall YouTube updates on Google Play ...

What do you mean by 'in system apps'?
Assuming you ready had Google app already pre Installed in system, if you manually installed the pixel launcher the. It's placed in data instead of system. Usually if you flash it, it's placed in system. If it let's you uninstall it then it would be concerned a data(user app) and not system

You can move it to system app of it's not already. But all I know is both have to be there for feed to show. From my experience

I manually installed the pixel launcher. I had it working while on Oxygen OS 8. But it stopped working when I updated to Oxygen OS 9. Can you please guide how to move it to System from Data?

(i recommend disabling ur default launcher so if an error happens you have access to a different launcher(example OP^ launcher)
Yes I just tested it and it worked for me, I have root explorer as my file manager (u need root fyi)
You can use a different root file explorer app(whatever suits you,
1. just to be safe backup ur launcher in Titanium Backup.
2. go to /data/app and locate the folder come.google.nexus..... (i forget the rest of the folder name)
3. cut the folder once you locate it and move it to /system/priv-app/ and paste the folder
Make sure permissions are rwxr-xr-x(when I pasted mine I just did a reboot and it worked fine.)
4. reboot phone!

Thank you for the steps.
Just curious - Will rooting the phone wipe the data?

Yes because you need to unlock the bootloader for that. It will wipe everything on your phone. There's a great guide in the news & dicussion forum (pinned). Feel free to follow it.

If you are not a root user it can cause more problems than needed, do you have Google Hangouts? I can help you one on one better there!

---edit---
Root it's self doesn't wipe ur phone, it's unlocking nthe bootloader (which is required to root or add twrp recovery)

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)
I'm trying to run vanced YouTube on my pixel 7 Pro. Vanced manager manager still working on my op9pro...but I need to delete all remnants of the stock YouTube app from my device.
I'm unlocked and rooted. Titanium backup shows the error "can't locate APK". I'm trying to do it manually with root explorer. The YouTube and YouTube music APKs are located in /product/app/YouTube. I cannot delete these files and root explorer won't allow me to change the permissions of these folders. I also tried adb but that just hides them, I need to remove any and all files associated with the stock YouTube system app.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm not looking to hide these apps, I'm looking to permanently remove them from the phone.

[SOLVED] Revanced working?
Did anyone try installing revanced manager on the P7P? Get it working? I installed the manager and it doesn't seem to see when I patch the youtube apk. It goes through the process of patching the youtube apk. I installed using non-root methods...
forum.xda-developers.com
@rester555, @EtherealRemnant, and some others got it working well enough....and I don't think they had to go through the trouble of deleting "all remnants" of the stock app. You might be used to a bit of an outdated method or particular to your previous device method because I believe it's been a long time since you had to remove the stock app to get it to work -- at the very least on my Pixel 5 A11 rooted, I used Vanced manager and it would merely overwrite/replace my stock app; I just had to make sure to turn off auto-update as Google would insist on re-installing/updating it back to stock...
In any case, the thread below is where a bunch of them got it to work well enough on the P7P (without the need to remove the stock app, i believe)

Sorry for re-iterating what netgar posted. He got his post in before while I was still drafting mine...
Just disable the app. You can do it natively. Go like you're going to uninstall the app and you'll see disable.
I did disable it. Only problem now is I can't install an older YouTube APK from APK mirror in order to patch it with revanced lol. Phone is giving me an error when I try to install an older version of YouTube.

I literally installed ReVanced yesterday. All I did was disable YouTube, build with ReVanced Builder, install micro G, and install the patched APK.

I'm not familiar with using the builder, but I saw EtherealRemnant have success with it, so that's why I @'d him. Glad he/it helped!
I got it working. Although I'm rooted, I had to use the non root method with microg in order to get it working
Even though I got it working, I'm still kind of pissed I can't delete certain system apps off my device. Huge reasoning for rooting in the first place is to have ultimate control over my device. Can anyone shed some light on why I can't remove certain system apps or provide a working method to do so?
Just did the "Install as root" option and it installed just fine. I did uninstall all updates followed by installing apk of recommended version with no issues on my end

Root these days is systemless. The best you can do is disable apps or uninstall them from your user profile with adb.

i know it's old and EOL, but can't Titanium Backup "freeze" system apps? It's been a while (years), so I'm working off of memory and just basing it off of what I kinda remember and can't be too sure...
Open a Command Terminal, grant root access by typing "su"
This command works for me to delete system apps (youtube for example):
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.youtube
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.youtube.music
Have you tried that one?

TiBu still works. I'm using it currently. Does a fine job of disabling or freezing system apps as needed.
