Can't make calls after uninstalling LogsProvider

Hi everyone,
I have a rooted my Samsung galaxy s3 mini ve. Because it was permanently running in background, I backed up LogsProvider using ROM toolbox and then I removed it.
Now when I open the phone app, it says "contacts has stopped". So I can't dial a number, but when I open contacts I can select and phone someone.
I already tried wiping contacts data, no success. I tried reinstalling LogsProvider, it says : " LogsProvider wasn't installed ". In logcat I see " dexopt failed"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How please?

Logs provider is a system app, it is not installed with the package manager. You need to copy it back to the system app folder with a root file manager.

and change the permissions to rw-r--r--

Thanks guys I copied LogsProvider.apk into /system/app and set the permissions but the app isn't installed after a reboot: (

So you rebooted and tried the dialer again? Did you double check that the Apk is still in system app folder, and has 644 permissions? Try 777 and reboot again.
Also did you remount the system partition before copying it over?

The dialer did not work and the app were nowhere to be seen in system app. This is the LogsProvider.apk properties:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How do I set 777 permissions?

777 is rwx for all three permissions. Also try group root.

I did it and reboot, but it looks like it messed things up. I'm not sure because I also installed or updated several apps, but now the xposed framework doesn't work anymore and on each startup, out asks me which launched I wanna use

Sounds like you gotta reflash to stock (or custom rom) and start from scratch re rooting and everything.

Thanks. How can I efficiently backup everything in a stroke? I have a very bad experience of adb backup or other backup solution. Perhaps copying data folder would be OK? And secondly where can I get a tutorial in order to reflash the ROM?

unable to flash anything in TWRP, SD card wont mount or show contents

Hi!
I picked up a Mate 8 from a local service provider and would love to flash a new ROM to get rid of the ugly stock one, but I am stuck when trying to flash anything from TWRP.
The phone boots fine, I unlocked the bootloader, and has TWRP Mate 8 version...I can't locate any files from the internal storage though. I understand this is due to the system being encrypted. I cant seem to get around that though. I tried the format data option, hit yes, then go back but that obviously has deleted what I had stored (the SU zip). I can't mount the SD either afterwards, to load it in recovery.
I tried using the Italian knife tool, and used the Root option, and option 3, but get an error: error: cannot load '.\rec\boot.img
I am not a pro on this so it might be something farely stupid. I would love if anyone could help me with this...

--------------------------------
Edit:
I was able to solve myself. It was a rookie mistake. Perhaps the internal storage is encrypted, however I was able to flash SU using TWRP by inserting an external SD, which I had not done before. I was able to view contents from that location and did not need to use the Italian knife tool.

Are you using SuperSU ??
To delete system apps, download system app uninstaller from play store and grand it superuser permission.

How to move Magisk from a system app to a user app?

I'm trying this LG Spirit Resurrection Remix ROM and it has Magisk as system app which is bad apparently.
How to fully delete Magisk as a system app, so I can reinstall it later? I'm guessing I'll have to install a different root solution, but... which, and how?
Any help appreciated.

Remark: Android is rooted as soon as the SU-binary ( ~ 100 KB ) is present in Android's /system partition.

As long as Android is rooted you can try to convert Magisk app into an user-app by means of Link2SD app, what means it will get moved from /system to /data - where the other stuff Magisk installs is already located. Take note that system apps are granted the ability to request certain system-only permissions that are never available to user apps. This is not the same as su permissions
IMO the easiest way to get Magisk completely off your Android device is to simply uninstall it from within the Magisk manager app:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

for the record: what I needed to remove was Magisk Manager, not Magisk, and the only way was to uninstall/disable it then manually delete the .apk in system/app after rooting with SuperSU.
Thanks for helping jwoegerbauer

Is it possible to convert a system app to a user app and then uninstall it?

One have to distinguish between apps located in /system/apps and those located in /system-priv-apps:
Apps located in /system/apps are essential apps to make Android work: they basically are not granted system privileges.
Apps located in /system/priv-apps are 3rd-party apps typically installed by OEM ( e.g. launcher ) what are granted system privileges.
Knowing this it's obvious that uninstalling apps what are located in /system/apps at 99% will brick Android whereas uninstalling apps located in /system/priv-apps mostly will not harm Android.
Long story short: You can directly uninstall apps located in /system/priv-apps, they must NOT be converted into user-app before.

So, I understood that for whatever reason you don't have the red-framed button in your Magisk app as shown in my screenshot.

Did you try the uninstallation instruction that topjohnwu provides in his Github here (I mean the second sentence of the paragraph):
Installation
The Magic Mask for Android
topjohnwu.github.io
Last but not least, the following thread is monitored by highly knowledgable members who are certainly better suited to support you than me, although a search there could probably already provide a solution:

This is the place for general support and discussion regarding "Public Releases", which includes both stable and beta releases. All information, including troubleshoot guides and notes, are in the Announcement Thread

@marcwsa
You uninstall Magisk from within Magisk Manager app.

Apologies - but I am new to this and I think I may have bricked my phone now.
I did a complete wipe and now when it asks to reboot it says "No OS installed"
I fortunately still have access to the phone using USB to my PC so can transfer an image to the phone still. It ends up in /sdcard
BUT when I say install and point to the Pixel image file it goes all the way to the end and then on reboot says
No OS Installed Are you
sure you wish to reboot?

No uninstall option on my APP - that's the problem - but no worries anymore, I think I bricked my phone in any case :-(

Question Need help

I been following the updates of Raven ui on their telegram, but there instructions don't work. i can't get it working on my redmi note 11 pro 5g.
I keep getting a error saying "mount system partition read-only" i tried flashing the encrytion disabler, but won't let me flash that either.

The error says that your system partion is RO (Read-Only) and you have to mount the system partion with adb tool in your pc to RW (Read & Write) but for this root (su) super user access is needed

Please correct me if I'm wrong but from what I can see, Raven UI is only available for the Spes device which is not the 5G model which is called Veux.

Ok be instructed while modifing your android half knowledge is more problematic then no knowledge

I don't think that is available for peux/veux. I used Lineage Recovery to sideload ArrowOS 13 stable without issues. The ROM works smoothly and is almost bug free.

You are absolutely right, just searched for it, it is for the 4G version of the Note 11.
