If i use es file explorer and use the app mgr then press system app and select which app i want to uninstall and it says uninstall failed. Root explorer is on and system is mounted rw. If i use tibu to uninstall a system app it will say apk cant be located. Im on moar v8 with stock kernel but this same thing was also occurring on ktoonsez kernel as well. Supersu is set to allow and show notifications. How do fix this?

I usually use root explorer and go to root, system, app, and then delete whichever apk I choose. Have you tried that method?

That does work. It only started happening since 4.3 i think the emulated directories is what is causing the problem

For instance, I install a ROM that includes an app which I TOTALLY don't want, but will not let me uninstall through app manager, or even an app on the rooted stock version if I didn't want to use a custom ROM.... is there some sort of combination of Superuser Permissions and another app? I thought I remember reading something about a file explorer w/SU that lets you do that, but I can't find the post. =[
Use Titanium Backup, can uninstall pretty much anything

Faaaaaaantastic! TiB worked like a charm =] Cheers mate!
Also, the explorer you were referring to is called root explorer. That works great. I used it to go into /system/apps and rename all the Sprint crap to .bak at the end of the file type, and they no longer run or show in app drawer. But they're not deleted, in case you ever need them back.
Download Titanium Backup, go to setting and enable "Chuck Norris" mode, and you are good to go. Definitely check out the safe to delete thread and don't uninstall anything that has to do with Google Talk. It will screw up your market downloads.
I know this is part of superuser, but I don't use that anymore, I use SuperSU. I removed the Superuser app after I installed SuperSU, and everything still works, still rooted, SuperSU handles root access, but this program still remains. And I am getting force closes from it.
How do I remove it?
Did you try to use root explorer and just delete it?

I did a search of my SD card and the phone itself, I can't find the actual file.
I have the same problem, where is the file?
Install link2sd or titaniumbackup and remove it.

Hey i rooted a while back with the *Idk what its called method* but it was every simple and looked like the command prompt and i just want to know how to unroot ff18 ics
If you have superSU from the play store, there us an option to permently unroot. If not use root explore or an app similer to delete the Superuser apk and the SU binary file in system/xbin folder. Reboot your phone and try an app the need superuser permission.

What do i do?
I am looking for an app that will let me pull a system apk from a backup of my system using cwm. I have tried nandroid manager, app extractor, and a couple others that I don't remember the name of and none of them are working for me. Nandroid manager says that it successfully restored the app I wanted, but it didn't really do it. I have also tried titanium back up, and it's not restoring the app either. It's a system app if that makes any difference.

TB might do the trick for you. I just checked, and under the MENU
Then under special backup/restore
I know it works with twrp, Might work with CWM too. Never actually pulled one from there, but there is an option to grab the apk
Good Luck
edit: odd, searched with root explorer and was not able to find the apk i yanked from TB nandroid

I've tried TB, both restoring the app and extracting the app from a backup. Neither worked. TB spent 30 minutes restoring this app before I canceled it.

Ok so flashed back to my stock rooted backup and used the app Appwererabbit and it allowed me to make a copy of the apk that I wanted. The I flashed back to my current rom and tried installing it, but the install failed. I'm guessing because it was a system app. So I placed it in the system app folder and still nothing. Is there a way to install this without using a pc and pushing it with ADB?

Anyway to install a system apk from another rom without using a pc and ADB? I have tried to restore a backup off the app with TB, but that was a no go.

I had the permissions set to rwxr--r--. After changing permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooting, it's still not showing up I'm my app drawer or in installed apps under settings. I do have the app placed in the system/app folder along with all other system apps but still a no go. Thanks for the input though. Any other ideas?

Probably would help to know what app, also is it from the HTC One or another phone ?
And are you currently using a sense rom?

Alright, i firgure out the problem and how to fix it.
Download the apk you want to install, put the apk file under data/app or system/app. You need es file explorer or root explore to do so. After that go to your twrp or cwm recovery and do fix permission.
Hope this helps!
