Problem after 8.1.0 update - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Verizon Pixel Unlocked and rooted. I flashed the December release 8.1.0 (removed the -w). Everything worked as always, re rooted with Magisk. I had updates which include Data Transfer Tool, which has never shown up in the updates before. In the about information it says"This system app will be automatically installed on your phone. Please do not install this app." I can not find any way to stop it from trying to install, I cleared the play store cache, Did the January update, and it was right back. How do I get rid of it?

If it's a system app you can go into Settings/Apps and disable it or use a root tool to uninstall it like Titanium Backup. Just be careful, you might find your phone not working correctly if you uninstall it. At the most I'd disable (or freeze through Titanium Backup) first to see what happens. I don't even uninstall system apps anymore, I just disable them.

Completely unistall SuperSU / Root Files

My goal is to COMPLETELY get rid of any root files / SuperSu files that are located on my device without having to reformat. Couple months ago i managed to install SuperSu and gained root and I did my own cleanup of bloatware apps and whatnot. Since then I have deleted SuperSu by going into the settings of SuperSu and clicking on the "Clean Root" option but without doing the original boot files option. Doing so, the phone reboots, cleans up , deletes SuperSU and i no longer have root. This is great and all but just one problem reminds.....
I can no longer play Pokemon GO because of the newest update that came out yesterday since it checks for rooted devices. Is there a way to completely remove all the files that are associated with the root process / SuperSU so that I can play this game. I have tried to use the app "SafetyNet Helper" to check for Google's SafetyNet CTS tests and it fails after i tried uninstalling SuperSU. I have heard of the Magisk app but it looks like you need a unlocked bootloader to install it.
Is there a way to get my phone back to the original state without reformatting my phone through Odin. At the end of the day, yes, i would rather have a rooted device than to play Pokemon GO but say what you will but this game has gotten me out, walking around my town, being social and actually making friendships.
Thanks for any help in advance,

cant login to Snapchat

I can't log into Snapchat on my OnePlus one. This has started very recently, after a factory reset.
My account is not locked, as I have logged in on my iPhone. I did try to unlock it however to no avail.
I have no 3rd party Snapchat apps installed.
Some apps I have that might be causing the problem:
Titanium backup
Magisk manager (with magisk hide enabled)
Catlog
FX file explorer
Rom: resurrection remix (6/20 update)
Kernel: resurrection kernel
A0001(bacon)
yeah its because of root, UNroot then log in then root again. its the most simple way.
I Found the reason and the resolution in the OnePlus 3T forum:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/help/snapchat-fail-login-root-t3571405
"Snapchat checks for root and purposely prevents you from logging in if it find it. If you rooted with SuperSU, try installing Chainfire's SUHide. Otherwise, if you rooted with Magisk, enable MagiskHide in Magisk Manager."
It took forever to find this solution, it worked!
I use SU# and it was simple to "unroot" from within the SU# app
1. click on the settings in the upper right, scroll down to the "cleanup" section, select full unroot, accept all the warning messages, the phone will reboot into recovery and then reboot the phone after it finishes. Your phone may cycle through the reboot process a couple of times
2. log back into your phone, then you can log into the Snapchat app.
3. now you can re-root your phone, if you want to.
Cheers.
For me the easiest way was to install SC in other nonrooted device and log in. After that, use Titanium Backup to export the data app, then from the rooted device just import data and that was it.

I wonder why they have such dumb policies.Can't they just simply increase their encryption level? Other social apps don't have any issues with root and they're also secure af!

Uninstall system apps

I am using OOS 10, which has TWRP and magisk installed. For some reason, i cannot uninstall system apps. I am trying to completely delete Chrome and other apks. I have tried going into TWRP, mounting system, and deleting folders and apks. I have tried root essentials. They all say it worked, but then the app still persists.
I do not want to disable, but completely remove, does someone know what I am doing wrong?
No idea what you're doing wrong but the xXx-nolimits magisk rom can debloat quite a bit.

uninstall any system app will fail in boot error

up to Android version 9.0.8 it was no problem to uninstall system stock apps.
since 9.0.9 and now also 10.3 its not working any more.
even when i uninstall only one app e.g. google pay , the system will not boot on next restart.
i have only root via pached boot (Magisk Root without TWRP for OnePlus 6 Oxygen)
to get boot again i have to flash stock boot and install hole system via zip. (no data will be lost)

How are you uninstalling the system apps?
root and try again!
with app "system app uninstaller"
root and try again will be the same
iam the only which have that problem?
how do you uninstall system apps?
try to use titanium backup next time
what kind of app u installed ? if its like stock from the rom itself, sometiems yes it will not boot up. and why did u uninstall it.. i mean its not that heavy.
There's ur first issue. Don't use an app dude. Either use the debloat Magisk module or do it through adb. Apps have a tendency to f*** up
in the versions before 9.0.8 it was not a problem to uninstall it.

It in android 10 you can delete apps permanently through twrp, these 3rd party apps not yet compatible to delete them even with root.

I tried using TB and no success. A pop-up was displayed in TB when I tried to unistall an stock app saying it was not possible (or so on, I don't remember the text). I did it in OOS 10.3.0.
In my experience, the only way to not see the apps is freezing them witn TB, for instance.

Strange behavior on Samsung Stock Android 10 with Magisk

So, I rooted my phone (Samsung A41) with magisk patch to boot.img.
On samsung phones i've alway used this method to have magisk's root.
Then I always removed some system apps packages like com.facebook.* and com.microsoft.*
But this time I got a strange issue.
When deleting the application (com.facebook.services) the phone just rebooted.
I tried with everything (Titanium Backup, SDMaid and more) with no luck, they just come back after manual reboot or automatically reboot on removal phase.
Do you have any idea/help?
And another question, is there any twrp build for A41? I've found none official nor unofficial TWRP build for this phone and i don't know how to create one.
Thanks in advance
