Can't change Mac ADDRRES.

Hi there, non-native english posting for some help.
So I have a Moto G 2015 XT1542 and I've tried in Resurrection Remix and LineageOs aswell trying to change Mac ADDRRES with the app Change My Mac and the phones reboot by itself.
I've tried too with the Terminal Emulator but nothing changes also when I try use root explorer it just doesn't work, same with other apps.
I got rooted both rooms.
Anyone knows something?

i don't think you can change the MAC address.
why do you want to change it?

Go to /proc/config/wifi_mac/ and open the "ascii" file with a text editor that has root permission. Your WiFi Mac is on the left, your Bluetooth Mac is on the right. They are separated by commas. Change it, save it, reboot, profit. I suggest backing this file up, as there is no way to get it back.

Thanks but I have two problems, using custom room I can't navigate between system files with root explorer and I can't find a root text editor

If you're properly rooted, then its probably selinux. Try setting it to permissive. The command in terminal is "setenforce 0" no quotes. Try editing it after that. You can verify you're in permissive by checking the about phone section in settings. This works for me on LOS14.1 and stock 6.0.1.
Edit: Just checked, I can't directly copy the ASCII file with selinux in permissive, however, I can edit and save it though, and also copy the text in it, and paste it to a new text file.

I am actually using the ROM by default. I've Flash the LOs and did what you said but still can't use root explorer or similar apps, do you have any idea about that?

Are you rooted? Lineage is not rooted by default. This is about the only thing that would prevent you from using root apps.

The su add-on has a problem being seen by rootexplorer. Flash either SuperSU 2.79 or magisk 12.0+. It will fix it. It's fine to flash over the su add-on. Never hurt anything in my experience. Also, don't forget to set selinux to permissive. Magisk has a permissive selinux module here on xda if you go with them.

Did you get a root prompt from magisk and also put selinux in permissive mode? If you use magisk you also have to install magisk manager. I can't imagine what the problem could be otherwise. I've used this method on two different ospreys without any issues.

Cant delete system apps

Because system apps don't uninstall like normal apps they're rooted into the system image for a good reason. You can't just start deleting left right and centre you need to understand what you can and cannot delete first.
When you've done this just locate and delete the .apk file of that app.

And how can i find the apk i want to delete? These programs, i think is doing the work, like root uninstaller.

use TiB (titanium backup) and uninstall whatever you want, pro version will let you freeze apps which results in the same thing

How to uninstall system apps?

Hey guys,
I'm on OOS, rooted with TWRP and I want to uninstall Duo, Youtube Music, Drive and all this other pre-installed crap-apps.
TitaniumBackup does not work anymore (it fails to locate the apks when you click "uninstall") and the often quoted "uninstall system apps with adb"-method just removes the app from user space while it actually remains installed on the device in the root directory and keeps wasting space. So this method does not actually remove apps, it just sorta deactivates them in another way.
So, is there any known method to remove system apps?

Read up on how to use adb commands.. quite simple..

You do need a laptop, it you don't have one this app is great... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.draco.ladb

Wait you weren't the original poster... But since he has TWRP installed he could just use the file manager and delete the files from there..

Thanks, but according to my knowledge this cannot work either since the app does not require root access. And you cannot uninstall system apps without having root. It probably just follows an adb-like approach.

That TWRP method sounds promising. Do you happen to know if all app related files are in one place or are they spread accross several folders?

Now with all due respect, you asked for a suggestion on how to remove the apps, they were given to you, you used every reason why not to use them... Have you even tried the various methods or just "read" about them ? Trying out the methods given then verifying through TWRP file manager would be nice learning experience once you "read " up and tinker with TWRP's file manager and different file locations...
But please make a backup before you start and have necessary programs handy in case you remove the wrong file... as it can really ruin your day..

It is simply NOT possible to uninstall system apps without root access. Thats why neither the adb method nor the other suggested app from questionable source can even work in theory. If it were otherwise, you would have found a major flaw in the android system, which, with all due respect, I doubt a tiny little bit.
You could also suggest to swim in a muddy pond for two days and look if this removed the system apps. But I hope you understand that I won't try that approach either because I prefer to not waste my time.
But thanks anyway for the TWRP idea, I'll look into that.

@haitower here's a Magisk module I use to remove a fair number of system apps. See the REPLACE variable in customize.sh

Use the magisk module "debloater". When you are done removing apps (don't really remove) just export the file. It will make text file in your storage. Then if you want to re-install any of the apps just reopen the app and import the file.

Maybe @BillGoss will help to clarify things a bit.
As far as i understand. On 8T (or better to say from Android 10 and latter) /system partition is read only and furthermore is located inside Super partition.
I suppose even with root access you will not be able to directly uninstall system apps without remounting /system/ as writable.
From Magisk manual we can learn that:
Since / is read-only on system-as-root devices, Magisk provides an overlay system to enable developers to replace files in rootdir or add new *.rc scripts. This feature is designed mostly for custom kernel developers.

For each module, the folder $MODPATH/system will be recursively merged into the real /system; that is: existing files in the real system will be replaced by the one in modules’ system, and new files in modules’ system will be added to the real system.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So as Magisk overlays modules /system folder to actual system with debloater module blank files android "thinks" those files specified in MODPATH/system don't exist.
Though a presume, in reality they are there.
So is magisk solutions really delete files from /system and not just "hide" them from Android?

For Xiaomi phones, first install the “Hidden Settings for MIUI” app.
1. Open “Hidden Settings for MIUI.”
2. Go to “Manage applications” and find the application you want to disable.
3. Tap on the “Disable” button.

Any ideas?

The DocumentsUI module controls access to specific files for components that handle document permissions such as attaching a file to an email. This module is updatable, meaning it can receive updates to functionality outside of the normal Android release cycle.

Using an app called" System app safe remover". never mind i solved my problem by flashing recovery ota.thankyou for trying help me.

You have to root for this
1. Install any root browser (x-plorer , cx file manager etc.
2. open /system/priv-app/DocumentsUIGoogle
3.copy all apk files to any internel storage folder
4. Install all these apk files at once using any split apk installer ( Recommended -com.smartpack.packagemanager )
download link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartpack.packagemanager
5.Reboot
Note :- if you are unable to find these apk files then use attached files

Question Viper4android Complete uninstall.

What is the right way to completely uninstall viper4android??
I clean cache and data from the application, then disable the magisk module and then I just uninstall the app itself.. But I can't get rid of the com.pittvandewitt.viperfx inside superuser?! It stays.. I want to delete anything has to do with viper as I found wavelet efficient enough and does not interfere with my bluetooth devices...

You'll need to re-do the settings and probably re-enable the modules. There is no guarantee when you're doing ANY kind of "modding" on your device, so you need to live with it if something goes wrong.

If I have completely uninstalled magisk and I am unrooted can I flash the patched img back for magisk without a pc? Or only with pc via fastboot and terminal command?!

Everything is solved thank you all very much it can be deleted
