You are getting the prompt "can not find root helper" because there is data from that app left behind, when you boot your device and the system sees the data from that app but it doesn't see the app and that confuses the system because it thinks the app should still be there. The solution to this issue is to boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot.
Always remember this, anytime you add or remove system apps, you must boot to recovery and wipe the cache partition and dalvik cache then reboot, if you don't, it will make things buggy. The reason why is because it causes conflicts within the system because there is data there that shouldn't be or because there is no data there that should be.

I installed a new version of the settings app (I'm assuming from the OnePlus 7) and now it only Force closes. Any suggestions on how to downgrade it? I can't access the app info. I'm not rooted and don't want to. I also can't access recovery because I guess my phone is encrypted and asking for a password but I never set it.
What did you download, from where? What OS? Substratum (this could be it if your themed)? Logs?
It's the OnePlus settings app from apkmirror. No root or mods or themes. Open Beta 18

The password for recovery is the PIN you have on your phone.

Hi,
I had the same issue as you but I was rooted and had TWRP. I tried to install OOS 9.0.5 again but it didn't worked...
So the last idea I had was to boot on the second partition.
And it worked.
You can try to boot on fastboot and type : "fastboot--setactive=_a" or "fastboot--setactive=_b" to switch partition and reboot. It should work for you too.
Oh that's a good idea. I ended up getting one of the app uninstaller apps from the play store and was able to uninstall the settings update.
I've got my shiny new Pixel 4 XL up and running on the stock ROM after coming from a worn out Note 8. Everything is better except the new version of GMaps. I was using 9.47.x and this new 10.x.x is just awful. I want to completely delete the stub from the system so I can install the older version. I've tried several root uninstallers, even using the adb shell command. It always "uninstalls" but the stub is still there. Therefore the older APK refuses to install. I've even gone into the root/product/app/maps folder to try manually. It doesn't work, nor does changing any permissions. I have a feeling someone is going to tell me that this can't be done without installing a custom rom.
I'm guessing the culprit is not being able to remount the system with read/write permissions on newer versions of android. Unless there's something I'm missing.

It may be having a conflict with cached data from the version that you installed, removing the cached data might allow you to install the version you want.
Uninstall the app from system partition, then, power the device off, then, boot into recovery and wipe the cache partition, then reboot into system and try installing the older version.

That is right where the issue is. I can get it to the point from being a 66mb APK down to 200k where the system; or play store, even recognizes it's installed. I need to get write access to the system partition to get rid of the "Maps" folder persistently living in the root apps folder. If that can be done on 10 in stock recovery then I've never done that. Mind you I'm rooted on Magisk with the flashed boot image, no TWRP yet.

After flashing the Magisk patched boot.img, did you install the Magisk Manager app? Magisk Manager is what is used to grant root permissions to your other apps. There is more to it than just flashing the boot.img.
You can also use adb shell to remove the app as demonstrated in the second method described in the link below.

So I tried what you suggested, I got the same result. Maps uninstalls but still lives in the root directory. Not being an ADB expert I went into adb shell super user mode and tried the the rm command to delete the folder, also the remount system command. Neither of those worked. Trying to install the older APK results in "App not installed"
And yes I have Magisk manager. It installed the latest version automatically. I use RootExplorer and it has superuser permissions.
Would something like this work? I'm not completely clear on how this works.

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)
what security level recognize that some system apps are missing?

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.
I deleted netflix app using system app removal app then rebooted, now OOS won't boot, it's stucked in the red point with white points turning around forever.
Please anyone can pull his netflix app from the system (I guess it's a system app now) partition so I can add it manually in TWRP?

I am not rooted so cant help you there but i have manipulated system apps using adb several times even without root. Maybe this will help
Go to twrp, connect with adb and try this command:
adb shell
cmd package install-existing com.netflix.mediaclient
I have also removed Netflix and never had any issues. I used ADB's remove command though.

The app you are trying to install is trying to use permissions/functionality that is already dedicated to your Google Search app and the Google Assistant which are both system apps, disabling or deleting the Google Search system app or Google Assistant will break things and cause issues that will require reflashing the stock firmware which would put you right back where you started and it would remove root in the process of reflashing the firmware.
If you are trying to install the app as a system app, stop trying to install it in system, try installing it as a user app and then use a root explorer app with root permissions to move the app from your data partition to the system partition, then reboot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache(DO NOT factory reset) then reboot the device and see if things work correctly.

I'll give this a try, but it won't let me install at all, my device is Android go edition and for some reason, it only lets me install the fo version of Google . Trying to find a way around that.
