If you don't know what the app "PhotoTAN Raiffeisen Schweiz" than this is probably not interesting for you.
I'm just writing this to confirm that the aforementioned app can be run on rooted devices. First I tried several of the root hiding apps in the market, but for all I tried, the app still detected root and deleted the credentials.
The next thing I tried was suhide which left my Tab S2 (T810, 6.0.1, rooted) in a boot loop.
I ended up trying Xposed with RootCloak (Xposed Guide for S7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039). Installing Xposed using FlashFire didn't work for me, so I copied the zip to the external sd and installed using TWRP. In Xposed I installed RootCloak and added the app to the apps root should be hidden from.
After a restart, I can now use the app without an issue and I can also backup/restore the credentials using TitaniumBackup.
I hope, this helps someone and I hope the devs of the app don't read this and fix the app.
Using Titanium Backup I also detached the app from the market, so I'll not get automatic updates.
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.
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.

I have samsung m21 not rooted. I tried to remove and disable Samsung Game Optimizing Service via ADB, it saying success when i entered the remove command, but in phone it doesn't removed. Also i try disabling via ADB too, it also giving another success message but app not disabled in phone. I tried to remove an random app downloaded from gplay store, and it removed perfectly (btw i removed some system apps in same phone via adb before). I searched this issue and i saw some people have same problem. I tried to disable that app from Package disabler pro (samsung) and CCSWE app manager (samsung) but M21 doesn't have Knox, so that method didn't worked too. Game Optimizing Service app is limiting your fps to 40. I dont want to root my phone. I want to remove, disable this app without root. How can i do that? Please help me. Thanks in advance.

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...

@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)

EDIT
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 using revanced builder. I'm trying to use the manager app on my phone. Maybe I'll try the builder instead

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?

I don't know if it works on A13 but that's what I used to use on my OP9 to freeze apps, yeah.

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