my phone is root , but can't delete system app !!!

hi everybody !
my n9005 is rooted by de la vega v5
but when i try to remove some boltware via system app remover a security pop-op appear and say you can't do it !!!!
what is that ?!
i also tried to remove by link-2-sd , but failed again !
please help

Did you try using titanium backup?

Assuming you have ADB set up, open up the Terminal if you're in Linux or the Command Line if you're in Windows and type the following:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd /system/app
ls
rm *name of app*

thank u
i installed terminal on my phone and your command is work!
but u know , by link2sd or "system app remover " you can find out the app by its icon .
so why i can't remove app by application !
- titanium backup , every time i try to trmove an application by titanium backup , it getting freeze! and force close ( after a while )
- link2sd : when i try to remove an app it says can't mount ...
- system app remover : when i try to remove , a security notification appear ...
so how can i remove an app easily by this applications ?
thank u

Maybe you have to try another root method??
Mine is working without any issue

Seems like those apps you want to use do not have SU permission. Did you install SU and Busybox?

It could sound silly but did you check with root checker that you really have root access?
If yes, another reason that I could think of is you might not grant the SU access when you opening up the TB

the point the makes me wondering is that " root checker" says that you have root permission !!!!!!!!!!!!
just one app worked for me !! " root app delete " 6.9.24 !
but this one not working complietely too . when i try to remove a system app it can't install that , but after that , an option appera and ask me : do you want to force uninstall , i said: yes . then uninstalled !
but i don't know why i can't remove the system app like others !
is that related to any security update ?

why my post putting double !!!!!

i moved system apps by root explorer

As I've said, try rooting your phone by another method. Mine without any problem.

You did not respond or confirm to dabgoo that you have super user and Busybox installed.
Did you install Super user PRO, you need to activate it?
I did not active it a first.
You can get a false positive from root checker. It will say you have root when super user is not installed properly. This happened to me.
Check in the Super user app if Super user is actually granting access to other apps.

Could be a long shot, look under settings /general /security /device administrators and uncheck knox if its checked.
I ran into this prob when trying to remove knox. it could apply to other apps maybe. Dunno, worth a try though.

Unrooted device when hosts file were corrupted.

Hello guys! I really need some help.
I have an Samsung Galaxy Tab A and since 2 weeks i was rooted with kingroot.
After I wanted to unroot permanently but I forgot to delete the hosts file so the android will build a new one. And now i can't acces Google Play or any app that use G.P.Services,and also I cant root again because all the apps downlod their strategies from the cloud and ,apparentlly , I can't download them because of hosts file.
What can I do? I don't want to use adb.... It's there a way to delete hosts without root?or to root again?
And if I have to use adb pls give me noob instructions epbecause i never used adb.
Sorry for my bad English.

I assume you can use kingroot desktop.

ES Explorer Can't Get Root

I have a G930F and installed TWRP + rooted with no issues. I can run rooted apps off of it as well like Titanium, Greenify, CF.Lumen, etc...
Although when I try the Root Explorer in ES File Manager, it keeps on telling me "Sorry test failed. This feature cannot run on your device". It doesn't look like it's even asking for root permissions. I tried different combinations of installing/uninstalling/rebooting and they don't seem to help. Any thoughts on what to do next?
Or if this is unfixable, any suggestions on what other file manager to use? Features I'm looking for include:
- Standard search/sort/filter/copy/cut/paste/delete
- Root Explorer
- FTP/SFTP support
- Configurable shortcuts/favorites
Thanks
Edit:
For anyone with the same issue, here's the answer:

Hello, the quick fix for this right now is to flash an earlier build of supersu. V2.65 or v2.68.
I'm currently using beta 2.68 and all root apps works great.

I had the same problem I ended up just installing Root Explorer, too bad because I paid for ES File Explorer Pro too. If you figure it out let me knwo

I'd suggest solid explorer, very similar to es explorer but none of the app scanning and permissions crap that's recently been introduced in es.

Or just thinking out loud, would it be possible to add it to SuperSU's list without it requesting for access?

I used to have an HTC M7 with the ARHD rom, and the rom came with it by default so I got used to it. I have to admit that there are some things I wish it would do that it doesn't. But I would say about 90% of what I need is available there.
But since I am starting fresh with a new phone, I'm open to suggestions if you have another root file explorer in mind. Pretty much the only thing outside of the standard functions that I need is sftp support, so I can copy/paste files to/from my mac.

Amaze or Solid Explorer is good. ES used to be good but it turned the way of Cheetah Mobile apps and started adding useless **** to their app.

If you google ES file explorer apk old version theres a website that has every ES file explorer apk from day 1. when the version changed to 4.X.X is when they added all the useless crap and adds.

lol yeah all of those sd card analysis and home page and stuff that I don't even use. I tried Solid Explorer, that thing looks nice. no extra fluff and just has what I'm looking for for a file manager
Do you guys know of any other file managers that allows for editing the DateModified? I know Total Commander has one, but I'm not digging their interface.

You have to disable dm-verity, look for thread on xda there is already boot image patched with disabled dm verity.

Use system app remover
Disconnect internet
First uninstall update user app
Then uninstall system app

i have the same problem. No way to delete the app but just disable it. I have root and tried app remover, root explorer and app deleter ... same results.
Gave a try also at your method disabling internet but no success.
Is there a way to delete the native app ... i cannot install other apks because there a conflict

No problem
What we did:
Busybox installed : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer
Termux installed : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux
ES File Explorer installed : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
Open ES File Explorer, open Root Explorer on left side menu.
Open Termux, write "su", give root permission.
Write this "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable"
Write this "busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"
Open ES File Explorer, delete this folder "system/app/com.spotify.."
Reboot and done :fingers-crossed:

While the Termux told me it didn't find busybox and that didn't really seem to do much, I still did everything like this and it worked

How to properly move an app to the system on Oneplus 6 (different from was used to)

I have tested myself the old ways to put an app as system app on Oneplus 6, but I didn't know that with new Android patches there are some new issues and permissions required (like you can still use ..., link2sd, es file explorer,..., but you have to add some xml manually, depends on the specific app).
(Moderator Edit: reference to Warez removed - as per XDA's Forum Rules)
You still need root (magisk) with this method.
The best and the easier way I have found is to use a magisk module: App Systemizer (maybe you can find it as an app or not, idk).
Search in dowload section, in magisk manager, install it, then install a terminal emulator.
Write and enter:
su
systemize
choose 1 and it will provide you a numbered list of your installed apps
choose the correspective number
choose 2 to move to system/priv-app
It will provide the additional xml that are needed now to move an app to system; then reboot and the app will be properly moved to system.

Think this might need moved to guides section mate
