Hi,
I just recently rooted my Xperia Z, I was in the process of installing a modification to the software buttons off of one the users on this site. Unfortunately superuser was denying superuser access to root explorer while I was trying to copy the file over to the system folder.I was unsuccessful at installing the UI modification.
I decided to turn it off and on again to see if that would work; upon turning on my phone I realized that I no longer had any software buttons at the bottom (no home button, no back button... nothing) While it looks nice, as soon as I enter an app I'm stuck as I can't "back-up" out of it.
I checked out my apps in setting.
1# System UI was showing as 0.00b. As in it's gone!
2# I checked root checker, and apparently my device is no longer rooted; also none of my rooted apps are working so I'm incline to believe it.
I have a back up of the System UI on my computer, but no way of putting it on the phone as I'm not rooted. I have tried to re-root using the same method as I have before but it's not working. (It's the "Easy Rooting Toolkit for Xperia Z SO-02E, and it just wont recognize the device; USB drivers are working fine as companion works and I can browse the device using explorer :?)
--
I'd really appreciate it if someone could suggest some solutions to get System UI back on there; even some way to reset the device if possibel!
Thansk
Checked it out again, the System UI is there it seems.
I had a look on Google Play at the application I was last using before my phone pulled a wobbly; I should have looked at the first review (1 star):
Root Browser Lite - JRUMMY APPS INC
"does not work properly on my sony"
"I can browse the file system. But then I tried to create a new folder which failed. It totally screwed up my phone. Now the whole phone is very slow and apps often crash"
- Jost Joller
So this app has obviously screwed up my system,.

Sound's like you didn't root properly, so flash a stock ftf and start from scratch.
First off I am running lolipop and have been working to find a way to disable bloatware that you don't want. I can't root as I'm on a att s5 lolipop...
finally found out how to get those apps that can't be disabled disabled.
Instructions:
1. Find the app that your wanting to dissable... let's say for example My Magazine.
by default in lolipop this app can't be disabled without root... frown face.. bad day...
2.Search for an apk file online for that app you want to disable.
And install it.
3. Here's what happens now... since you just updated the system app yourself, you now have permissions over it.
So to disable the app go to app manager and look under downloaded. You will notice that now the app that previously could not be disabled... now can be. You also have the option to uninstal the update... update only unfortunately but oh well.
Now you have just succusfully disabled My Magazine or what ever other system app that can't be disabled.
If you need any help just ask.
Update.
I can only currently get this to work for my magazine on 5.0
Possibly a version issue where u have to fine a version newer.
in any case the my magazines I downloaded did install. And afterwards was able to disable
After I unlocked the bootloader and got root permission using Magisk (I followed the guide in the Guides section) the Netflix app stopped working, as soon as I restart the phone and/or I clear the app's cache the app crashes without saying much (Netflix'app has crashed: reopen or send feedback)
If I reopen it it just stays on the Netflix's logo screen forever.
Any idea what's causing this?
If I remember correctly, Netflix won't work on rooted devices. Go to magisk-> Magisk Hide and choose apps like netflix, android pay and pokemon.

That did not work when I tried last April.. but the file "liboemcrypto.so" in /system/lib is the file that makes the error occur. When the file is removed or renamed, the error goes away and you can watch movies but not in HD quality.
There's a Magisk Module that solves the issue too...
as the title says i have been having problems getting the youtube app to stop updating , i followed the instructions in the vanced post , i did the method 2 of the magisk installation (where you download the latest version from the page and install the module) placed the install via magisk module and the detach from playstore module on the download folder , all goes normal i even deleted all youtube data , and unistalled the app with titanium backup , and disabled the auto update tick box several times and it still ends up updating youtube and removing the vanced version :/

For the app should be enough.
that's what i always do and it still ends up updating , even with the detach module, maybe i'll have to disable it all together :l
That's werid stopping auto update from the play store should stop all that

Well, it doesn't. I'm experiencing the same.
i am using it on pie. is really frustrating the app update by itself.
SWITCH OFF AUTO UPDATE IN PLAYSTORE ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL.
detach in TB is NOT WORKING also.
but version on nougat doesn't have this issue, maybe google did something fishy on PIE?
I guess you should ask for help in the dedicated threads for Youtube Vanced instead of creating a new thread for this.

Same in Oreo. Never had problem with Nougat.
I installed it just like the OP, it would detach but play store would attach youtube back on the update list by itself every night. When the phone is restarted the detach module in magisk will detach it again, but the next morning, play store would put it back on the list.
use service disabler

Disabling the auto-update from Play Store works fine for me. I've been using Vanced for months and no such issues.

Your link is dead. However, you inspired me.
Which service in Google Play Service should be disable?

Read the part in the first post under:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757
"Explanation of the (Ad)Vanced options of the official installer:"
After thatd download the files from the 3# post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75772897&postcount=3
Use the Mediafire host. in the Installer folder you'll find all the necessary files.

I've been trying to figure out this issue for a while.
Basically issue for me is on Google Pixel XL and now Pixel 3 XL and my friends Moto x4, all on both Android Oreo and Pie... Using Magisk repo install and uninstalling stock YouTube, and then adding enable_detach empty file in cache folder in root along with turning off "Enable auto update" in Google play store for YouTube . Usually this works for a few weeks but every now and then it ignores it and updates itself and turns on auto update without user explicitly allowing it. (Says YouTube was just updated).
I can easily fix it by uninstalling updates again but my friend doesn't know how to do this easily. I also tried to remove YouTube forcefully with titanium backup from system app and detaching months ago but that caused a lot more problems. Currently it gives option to attach to market forced despite it still showing up in market saying update (and auto update off for it)
I wanted to understand the plz and settings.sh options if using specifically Magisk method 1 (Magisk repo). Or are those only if using the other methods under magisk and/or root only option (no Magisk)?
Use the Sudohide xposed module.
This Module will prevent apps from detecting other installed apps on your device. Settings are done on per app basis.
Steps to hide VancedYT (A) from Play Store (B):
1. Select app A in the main list a new list view will be launched
2. Tick the checkbox next to app B in the newly opened list view
3. Press apply to save and back to exist
4. Restart luncher or reboot the phone.
Slow down.
Detach using titanium backup WORKS
For me I could only press "attach to playstore"
So I did. After I got button detach.
It worked and removed it
Hello to all folks,
This is a weird one.
My banking app could see rooted state although the app was in the hide list and also the Magisk Manager was hidden too (renamed, reinstalled etc).
So I was out of options until I read this:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHideHidingRoot
Among other useful bits and pieces it says "If an app still can detect Magisk, even if you have it on the Hide list, the Manager is repackaged and everything else from this list of tips is ok, try to uninstall the Manager and see if this helps. If that works, you might be out of luck and the only way to fully use the app in question is to regularly uninstall and then reinstall the Magisk Manager..."
I did so and here is the crazy part...
After uninstalling magisk manager app then a series of things took place:
My banking app now works ok
Root checker says root not properly applied
All apps that need root to work (TitaniumBk, Adaway, CallRecorder) see device as rooted and work flawlessly.
In other words, as like magic everything works fantastic!
Problem/Question/Worry: What will happen after I reboot?
Any ideas please?
Thank you very much!
You just made my day! Someone actually did their homework...
If you don't have the Manager installed you will end up having issues with superuser requests. Reinstalling the Manager after using the banking app is probably a good idea. Or you could probably set up a script or an app to freeze and unfreeze the Manager at the press off a button. I'll have to look into that and add to the guide.
Update:
I had to uninstall and reinstall TitaniumBk and sure enough TitaniumBk didn't get root permissions.
So I installed again Magisk Manager and updated to 8.0.0 and decided to try once more to hide Magisk Manager by renaming it to a different name than "Manager".
I noticed an important difference compared to previous endless times of hiding MM: The newly installed MM had a diferrent icon than the original one with the masked face.
And then...
...magic happened!
All banking apps didn't decect root!
Root checker could see device rooted!
Conclusions:
1. Either the MM 8.0.0 has a better hide MM feature
2.or my installation of MM 7.5.1 wasn't robust
Who knows...
Anyway this is my underatnding and I wsih there is a script to freeze/unfreeze MM with the push of button because in this battle of app developers against MM it's not always safe to assume that the "hide MM" feature will do the trick.
Thnak you again

This, most likely.
With this new Manager, the stub that is used is completely empty (which is why you're seeing the basic Android icon) and much harder to detect.
