Hello.
I want to integrate some apps that are updated, uninstall useless ones, and convert some others to system apps, like Cerberus and some others. I'm using Magisk and Butterfly kernel.
But when I try to do this with Link2SD, it gives "mount: '/system' not in /proc/mounts" error. Titanium Backup don't gives any error, but in some apps it keeps integrating and/or uninstalling on a endless loop.
I know there is an addon for Magisk called "Systemizer", but as Magisk is systemless, it will not really integrate or uninstall, don't?
Any ideas about Link2SD error or why Titanium keeps on endless loop?
Thank you.
i used systemizer for some launchers and it worked as expected but thats as far as i can help you im afraid

The system partition is mounted at /, not /system.
I have used Ghost Commander to remount it read-write.
However, I broke my phone when I rebooted without remounting it as read-only first. Every app acted as though it was the fist time i had run it. So be careful.
I've taken to using TWRP to access system (installing a custom bootanim).

Today I just tried to install some fonts using Root Explorer and all of a sudden I was stuck in boot loops. So I tried to boot into recovery mode and there was an update.zip on my device (probably from when I was originally rooting) which I think the recovery mode ran. After that, I was in clockwork and I flashed a new font.zip file and that still left me in a boot loop state.
I fixed the boot loop by manually changing permissions on DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf to match the other fonts and change owner/group to root:root.
This stopped the boot loop but now every time I boot my phone it force closes all my apps that were previously on sd. I'm not sure why this is happening and it might be other apps that are also not on my sd. It is also not showing all of my installed apps and Launcherpro no longer runs and I am stuck with default htc sense launcher. I would prefer to not wipe the entire phone to fix this.
I have tried a different sd card with the same data and I have also tried formatting the sd card and copying my files back on. Still stuck with force close errors. I am not sure what to do at this point. Any help?
Try fix permissions.
I have tried running the fix_permissions script. Didn't seem to work. Unless there's another method you are referring to. I am unable to launch ROM Manager and it seems like all of my apps are 'new' and never launched before from what they show. Including my alarm settings, those are missing too.
Think I'd restore a backup taken prior to all the font changes. You did make a backup, didn't you?

I do have a backup but unfortunately its a little bit old and I would rather fix this if possible. It feels like some folder is missing permissions. Because even stock Google talk crashes and market crashes when I try to view an app but I can search around if I want.
Another route I can go is to backup my data for apps and then install a new Rom as I have been wanting to. This would allow me to fix my problems but I need to know what folders I have to manually backup for saves.
Well some good news. After messing around with permissions on some files on the sdcard I was able to restore my notification sound back and also able to make GTalk work properly. So it looks like there is hope yet.
Where do apps store settings such as configuration, db, etc?
It looks as if my data/data partition is wiped? I'm not sure what happened but I guess that means all my app saves are gone.
Am I right to assume that?
I used this application NotEnoughSpace made by a xda member and using it to symlink some of my apps from data partition to a new area on emmc seems to work. However when I try to restore back to my data partition, it doesn't work.
So this leads me to believe that the permissions on my data partition are off and I need to change the permissions, owner, and group for the data partition and all files inside it. The command would be:
Code:
chmod 664 data/*
chown root:root data/*
And run this while outside of the main data folder. As long as the right owner/group is root:root.
Can someone confirm?
Currently I can't any of the busybox installers to reinstall it, they
all report not able to get root immediately after superuser says
it has root privs.
Can I push the busybox executable to /system/xbin manually?
Would I do better to just reflash the rom, over the existing one,
(running install-script will put back busybox and and symlinks).
help
Are you able to get su permission for other apps still?
You can push it manualy to /system/bin or /system/xbin, just make sure to set the correct permissions owner and group. rwxr-x-r-x and root for owner and group.
[Resolved] I ended up restarting with a wipe and new rom install
It was just to complicated due to so many basic functions
being in the busybox binary.
I did a TiBu of my apps and system data and exported people data
to a vcf. Wiped and re-installed the rom, restored my export of the
people data, restored my apps+data and system data. rebooted,
installed a ext4 compatible kernel, rebooted, installed the ext4 no
data limit (/data/data to /data), rebooted, installed the ext4 kernel
again, (as the ext4 zip puts its own), rebooted, installed the UOT
Kitchen Circle Battery, installed the zip to fix recticle & recurring
warning box, rebooted, setup people group for full page people
widget, rebooted to recovery to run a new nandroid after all the
patching was done.
*sigh*
Tedious, but everything is working as I'd planned .
low internal storage on my HTC m8. i want to remove unwanted system applications. is this possible on rooted (TWRP) HTC m8? please help.
Try TitaniumBackup
This is Not working. It uninstall application I selected. But it's exist. And I restarted phone. Still it's exist.please help
Make sure you are using superSu with the last binaries
Super su v2.76. Is there any newer version
Get Titanium Backup Pro. It can do this and so much more. Totally worth it
It's titanium pro
On this device, the system partition is write protected, even with root. You need to install wp_mod to delete system apps.
I've seen folks accomplish it other ways (I think changing permissions in ES File Explorer or similar "root" explorer) in addition to Titanium mentioned above (which I can't personally say works or not). But wp_mod is the most common way I've seen discussed to delete system apps.
Its all a bit irrelevant. The system (OS) partition is not normally user accessible; nor will deleting system apps change the size of the system partition. Nor will deleting "bloatware" system apps does not increase your user data storage. The only exception to these points, is if you intend to install user apps as system apps (which again, will require wp_mod or similar). But that's getting pretty fancy and I don't think that is what you are talking about.

if you want to replace kingroot with supersu,
download kingroot & supersu from this thread... check that threads attachment for links..
Read that thread carefully... & uninstall current kingroot or reinstall this new downloaded kingroot..
& only follow all steps of kingroot replacement with supersu...
reboot your device once before following his steps!
OR
if you only want to uninstall any apps.. download & grant root access to System app remover (ROOT) & remove apps you want to remove.... also check & empty that app's recyclebin..

Hey y'all,
I rooted my phone with Kingroot and I was trying to get SuperSU on it. I tried a ton of different methods like SuperSU Me but it didn't end up working so I settled on Kingroot.
I was trying to uninstall Google Apps I don't use with Titanium Backup but every time I try, it just doesn't remove itself. I tried using Kingroot's version to remove the apps but that didn't end up working either.
I know my root works because I can use Root Checker and terminal emulator to 'su'.
Any suggestions would help!

You may have a partition mounting error.
If you have twrp recovery then goto the mount section and make sure system and data can be mounted. If yes then it may be a permission for R/W access for system.
I had all kinds of issues getting permission to write to /system.
You need to start by getting rid of King root. I used it to root initially also but swapped to super su. I also installed busybox the app. If the app can install the busybox tools then you should be good to go.
Also check a root file manager for the ability to mount "root file system"
If you have a terminal app then you can check your partitions permissions my typing 'su' then 'mount'. The mount will display the current state of all partitions without making any changes.

Guys, I'm rooted with magisk and I want to remove system apps like youtube. I used system app remover for it and it always fails, any idea how to do it?
Try root uninstaller. Always worked with me.
I've always used root uninstaller on all my devices until this one. It says something along the lines of "sorry, root privilege found but cannot mount system r/w " so it will only allow me to disable apps. Root essentials on the other hand won't disable apps but will allow me to uninstall system apps except for Google, which I had to manually delete the folder and apk for.

You can use Titanium Backup to do so, uninstall and reboot to confirm, Just make sure the app is not disabled before you uninstall it.

Thanks it really works.

I had the same problem, too. I tried several apps but the uninstalled ones magical appear again after reboot.
The only thing that worked for me was to install the magisk module " terminal debloater " here on XDA.
Now they are gone.
