I followed the instructions posted in and successfully Rooted and updated the Kernel on my WiFi Xoom. but today when showing it to a co worker we found out the google books app wasn't functioning.
I tried replacing it from the market by logging into the web page after the market app would not find it and it will not let me put it on the Xoom. I then downloaded the WiFi dump that was made hoping to sideload the app and it says it's already installed. i tried uninstalling and it says it failed to uninstall.
So would anyone have any other ideas in getting the app reinstalled?
get root explorer, delete books from system/apps
Then use root explorer to place books from the dump zip into system/app
Once placed, check the permissions and make sure they are the same as the rest of the apps. Reboot
Didn't see your post in time i ended up doing a wipe and reinstall.
I have this problem also...is there another way to do it without root explorer? sftp or ssh?

Yes bigworm, there are other apps out there that allow you to drill down into the system partition (not sftp) as long as you have you root you can use most types of terminal or files system tools.
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
I regularly use the Root Explorer file manager. However, it always force closes on Android 6. Fresh installation from Play Store makes no difference.
I have the 2gb UK version.
Does anyone else face this problem or have a possible solution?
Thanks in advance!

It did for me as well. I just switched over to using solid explorer. No issues so far.
X-plore and ES File Explorer both working in root mode here as well... Root Explorer is FC'ing too though.

after rebooting, the apk is not in system\priv-app anymore also the installed icon is gone
2. tryed to install the app with (Mod Edit: reference to warez removed) as system app. but after reboot, no installed app. (i used the base.apk which i moved to sd-card, to install)
My Device:

Once you move the app to system/priv-app reboot your device, it will disappear from the apps catalog (because now it's a system app).
Then browse with any root browser to the installation path I remember something like system/priv-app/com. .... there is a base.apk select ans REINSTALL the base.apk, it will prompt to UPDATE the app, allow it and reboot again, Tada you will see the app with system permission.
It took me a while to figure out the process, hope it helps.

1. Install it as normal apk.
2. Using any root explorer copy that app's folder from data/apps and paste into your priv-app (don't cut or move that folder, only copy). Then Reboot.
3. Now after reboot, go to settings and open installed apps. See if that app is there or not. If not then seleect "show system apps" option.
4. After finding that app. tap on it and select uninstall updates (or disable option if you can't find uninstall updates option there).
5. It will prompt you to replace with the factory version of that app. After selecting option "replace with factory version" enable the app again if you've disabled it. Then Finally reboot.
Done!

Does not work for me. everything I put in system/app or system/priv-app disappears on reboot, after reboot I can uninstall app left in data normally.

As I dai, don't "put" in system/app or priv/app. you have to copy the folder from data/app.
i think with disappearing he means that the icon is no longer on the android user-surface.
same problem here. even if i copy the whole folder into system/priv-app and dont erase it in data/app i can only uninstall the app normally (and then its no longer listed in apps, even though there is the copy of the folder in system/priv-app).
there is no option like "uninstall updates" or "replace with factory version". there is simply the button "uninstall" like with every other non-system-app.
Here's what I had to do on my Note 5 through t-mobile running Nougat with the March update. I rooted with Magisk and I used ES file Explorer to move, not copy because i guess that confused the app on which path to load from and breaks. After moving I needed to change the permissions to rx-r-r, which I did for both the base.apk and the app folder as well then rebooted just to make sure the changes stuck, but I used a different joystick. I used GPS JoyStick by the app ninjas which once in system mode can disable the gps and eliminate rubberband and has a lot more features than the other joysticks.

I'm having similar issues. All the posted solutions do not work for me. I've tried the xml permissions modifications as well that are on the apps home page and that does not work either. The system option is still greyed out for me. I have the app installed to system/priv-app as suggested and it opens and shows on my launcher just fine but the application itself will not detect that it's installed to system. Oreo 8.0.0 with magisk root. Please if anyone has something to try let me know. I've been searching for and trying solutions for over 5 hours now. I can't use mock locations because the application refuses to work with that enabled and the system ability to spoof gps is my only option

I am now running into the same problem, cannot "Enable System Mode" with the app. Using a browser I noticed that the folder for the cloned app version is different than the app that I named it; "com.tgmqqhposmr.xacn....."
Is this normal?

To answer my own question and others that may share the same question, yes, the randomly named app folder is correct when compared to working versions on android 8.0.
Also, the app is supposed to be located in the priv-app/ directory.
The problem in the additional steps posted by gps joystick's faq, specifically #4:
Additional Steps for Android Oreo (8.0) Users:
These are user submitted steps, so your mileage may vary.
1. Put GPS Joystick in “root/system_root/system/priv-app” and make sure file permissions are set to 0644
2. Create a text file called “privapp-permissions-com.theappninjas.gpsjoystick.xml”
and paste this into it:
<privapp-permissions package=”com.theappninjas.gpsjoystick”>
<permission name=”android.permission.INTERNET”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.INSTALL_LOCATION_PROVIDER”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.CHANGE_COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE”/>
<permission name=”com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES”/>
<permission name=”com.android.vending.BILLING”/>
<permission name=”android.permission.WAKE_LOCK”/>
<permission name=”com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE”/>
<permission name=”com.theappninjas.gpsjoystick.permission.C2D_MESSAGE”/>
</privapp-permissions>
3. Place the file at “root/system_root/system/etc/permissions/” and make sure permissions are set to 0644
4. Edit the file “root/system_root/system/etc/permissions/privapp-permissions-marlin.xml”
5. Add the same XML from Step 2 between the <permissions></permissions> tags and make sure permissions are set to 0644
6. Restart the device and confirm that the Enable System Mode is enabled in GPS JoyStick Settings.
Number 4 references an xml named marlin that belongs to the Pixel 1 XL. My phone, and others I suspect, does not have this file. I looked for a Taimen (Pixel 2XL) file but no luck.
Any ideas?
This last method FINALLY solved it for me on my Nexus 6P running Oreo. You only have to change "com.theappninjas.gpsjoystick" with the package name of the cloned app, something like "com.mksacniw.apoerslnose" (this is just an example). Follow the instructions carefully and rememeber to change the permissions of both files to rw-r--r-- (this is VERY IMPORTANT).

perfect works fine
None of the above worked for me (pixel on 8.0), what finally worked was the app systemizer terminal module in magisk, then installed turmex, ran these 5 commands and rebooted
1. su
2. systemize
3. (choice 1)
4.(the number of the app to systemize)
5. (The option for priv-app)
When i want to download something the chrome or or whatever browser application don't let me download it, 'cause i need STORAGE ACCESS, but i can't grant permission to that, help
