[SOLVED]HOW TO remove Adobe Flash from JPC

I want to remove Adobe Flash Player from my device because in my opinion it is just way too slow to work effective. When I load a website with flash content I almost can't scroll and zooming is just even worse. Does anyone know how I can remove it or turn it off?
Thanks in advance.

In the browser, press menu.
Settings > Disable plugins (?)
If that doesn't work, use a file explorer such as root explorer (requires root) to delete the flash apk from your system.
It may even be possible to use the built in application manager to remove it, but I can't remember if it shows it or not.

I already disabled the plugins and I tried to remove it with Titanium Backup. When I select Adobe Flash and hit delete I get an error saying the apk-file can not be found.
Where can I find the apk-file in Root Explorer? I'm trying to find it but no succes yet
> Warning
install_flash_player.apk cannot be deleted because the file system is read-only.
How to bypass this error?
I already found out how to bypass it. I had to press some button to change from r/o to r/w.

There is one flash player floating around, 10.1.92.8. I removed the install_flash_player.apk (10.1.72) and install this. Didn't see any differences though.
As to your problem, i didn't face any such problems.

Change built-in file manager?

I would like to change default file manager but it seems that some links to it are hardcoded in LOS so for example if i uninstall it and replace it with fx file manager some
apps can't access it because they are calling to that default one which is not there anymore.
Any tips on how can i replace it, or where can i change those links to default app?

The default file manager that you were using has the package name "com.android.documentsui", and you generally see it when you have to choose a file for an app. Only here has it been turned into a full-fledged file manager. That was a system app that you weren't supposed to remove, so your only option is to install another file manager app alongside the default one.

Hi i'm with the same problem, i need a default file manger that can accese root so other app can get accese to root folder. Is there a way to resolve?

Here is how to replace the stock file explore with the root accessable one.
I'm gonna priovide the best filemanager fully featured, called mixplore, which i highly recommend. this file manager can access root directory.
watch Mixplore review from HERE
NB: make sure you have a root access
1. download Mixplore
2. install it on your device then open it
3. on the left then click on "root" then grant root permission when prompted
4. go into system/apps/documentUi OR system/apps/cmfilemanager
OR system/apps/files. If your on other roms apart from cynogenmod, lineageOs or RR-Os.. go into system/apps/filemanger
in case not found in app forlder try priv-app, i.e system/apps/..
NB: not "document" its "documentUi"
5. open the that last folder on the directory i.e file manager, swipe right and go into downloads copy the Mixplore.apk, then swipe left back into root/system/app/___ and paste the mixplore and delete the stock filemager from that folder
6. restart the phone.. now you have replaced the stock file explore from your android.

This method creates problem when trying to access sd card or otg,mixplorer ,though fully featured,will also need permission from documentsui to access externals,it will show error "doesn't exist x

Best way is disable documents ui from showing icon in launcher

yes, i already tried, it didn't work
best thing to do is give access to all apps that require SD write then freez DocumentsUI

Question Unable to convert any app into system app (Rooted)

So I am rooted, got android lost installed, the app that offers some useful features in case your phone falls into wrong hands. However I've been struggling to convert the app onto a system app in order to prevent it being wiped out in case the unfriendly fellow performs a system wipe.
All attempts to convert this app and any other app into system app fails with error message 'no space on system storage' I've tried this using apps2sd, link2sd, root essentials and all failed annoyingly.
Is there any specific way to get this done on Android 11 on the OnePlus 9 series. I've had no issues doing this on my 7pro, 6T and OnePlus 8.

The op9 have dynamic partition with a where so far (system, vendor, system-ext) are write-protected. if you want to install an app as a system app you have to do it with magisk modul app systemizer and a therminal

That's extremely helpful. But after installing the module. Can you help with any specific method making an app a system app? I am kinda stuck on what to do after installing the module. Thanks a million.

Download terminal emulator from store.
Open terminal.
Type su
Type systemize
Select app you want then select app or private app dir to move it to

Thanks a million bud. I got everything now. However I still couldn't systemize the app I wanted. The current version 17.5, is it compatible with Android 11?

Here's what happened. The Magisk module Systemize lost support from the original dev. You can no longer on Android 11 and up select the app from the list(because it doesn't list of does list but is random characters instead of names). HOWEVER, you can download the app APK from APKmirror.com or other sites, find the file path and copy it e.g. /sdcard/download/yourapp.apk go to Systemize in terminal by opening terminal and typing
Su
Systemize
(Select option 3) 3 - Systemize given apk
Paste the file path of the downloaded apk
Choose if you want system or priv-system
Voila

-install the app the normal way
-copy it's folder from data/app to somewhere you remember
-rename it to something clear with no space like "lost" (also rename the apk inside)
-uninstall the app
-open Mixplorer or any file explorer and give it root access
-go to system/app and paste that folder and give it 755 permission
-reboot
if still not work use the recovery file manager to paste on system/app (after mounting system)

System folder is read only. You use the Magisk module to Systemize. See my above post

Question Unable to copy file to system/priv-app

Hey - Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I'm stuck. I've installed an app via Google Play, and I'd like to move it from /data/app to /system/priv-app (I was instructed to do this to enable extra features on the app). I can browse to /data/app and I see a big list of crazy-character folders, and I locate the one with the folder inside I need. I try and cut/paste that file into system/priv-app using Root Explorer. It prompts me "The current file system is read-only. Do you want to remount as read-write and continue?" I click yes, and then the move fails.
I'm using Magisk and I've granted Root Explorer superuser permissions.
Am I missing something painfully obvious here?

Try it from the console and see what error it gives you. You can also provide output of a couple of commands, "mount" (show the mount parameters for all mounted filesystems) and "df -h" (show free space).
This a factory system image or AOSP?

system partition is write protected.
You might have luck using Magisk module for privileged apps

Yep, someone in another thread in this section had the same or similar problem, but I believe it was completely solved by a magisk module. I haven't used that module, and can't remember what it's called, so I can't be more specific.

While is is possible to edit the system partition, I highly recommend you don't do that. In order to do that, you would need to edit the super and vbmeta partitions. There is a scripted solution to do that (here), but I've never used it.
A much easier solution would be to use Magisk's mirror partitions that allow you to virtually override/add/remove elements for the system/vendor/product partitions. Create a simple Magisk module or use /data/adb/magisk (read the Magisk documentation)

Question OnePlus - How to grant root storage folder permission for app?

Hello there,
I used to use Catch! (from Daemon Tools) to schedule a daily incremental file backup from my phone and upload it to my computer. It worked pretty good - until Android 11 came and knocked on the door.
Since then it became a ****show. Can't select the root storage folder anymore:
"Can't use this folder. To protect your privacy, choose another folder" when trying to grant permissions for storage access.
Now I have to grant the permission for each subfolder and create a seperate backup schedule.
Many folders still can't be accessed though like the downloads folder.
The permissions for accessing folders are granted through the app "files". It is invisible and can't be opened by normal means.
There has been a workaround by using the app MiXplorer. Here is a video how it is done.
Important part is at 1:38:
Basicly he 'adds' a folder to 'Home' in MiXplorer and then this folder appears in the Files-App on the left side. This folder icon can be then selected to grant access in other apps.
For me there are no folders on the left side except googledrive and the phone itself despite having MiXplorer installed.
Having OnePlus 9 Pro and Android 13 - not rooted.
How do I add those sidebar folders in the 'files' app?
If it is patched are there any other ways to achieve this except rooting?
Greetings

Sorry, forgot to mention. I don't want to root the phone. I need it for banking and cannot afford having a magisk addon patched/circumvented. I had this game twice and it was not fun.

KernelSU isn't Magisk. Banking / payment apps won't detect Android got rooted, that's fact.

Unsupported. KernelSU only supports GKI kernels now.
App reports a QGKI Kernel v5.4.147

You were told this.
