I've recently upgraded to Nougat on my rooted phone and wondered how best to replicate my old Tasker profiles that were reliant on Secure Settings which appears to no longer work on Nougat (it says it cannot find root)/
The main functionality i want is the ability to turn on/off:
Airplane mode
Location Completely (when screen off)
GPS when opening apps that use maps
Mobile data
Can anyone suggest the best way to get this functionality back if its possible?

You could try some of the run shell commands from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/u/tasker-tips-tricks/best-run-shell-commands-tasker-t3419204 or use the AutoTools plugin https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autotools
Majority (if not all) of Secure settings stuff is now easily available on AutoTools.
Thanks, just installed it and playing around with it and when i try to run a task it tells me 'No pemission to change settings' i see the adb command being talked about. Do i have to run that even though i'm rooted or do i just have something configured wrong?

You're gonna have to run that command. It should work fine then.

I'm on Nougat as well and I'm using Secure Settings every day, it works fine for me...
The adb command worked but my bigger problem was that my phone had lost root. All fixed now tho
You can replace Secure Settings with SecureTask plugin. Free and it works great.

Simply better. First of all it's free. In addition it has a lot of features like sync settings, failed login monitoring, settings monitoring, change pin/password, log information, data usage and much more, nothing comparing to automess.

@automess... I have used both and though autotools is 2.99 I find it more user friendly. But both are equally up to task.

@farquea,::if you want to stick with securesettings in noughat,here is the work around i am using, found the fixfrom superSu forum..
Obviously i am using superSu to give root access for secure settings..
First flash superSu in systemless mode in twrp.
After reboot, using terminal emulataor type the following command
su
echo "BINDSYSTEMXBIN=true" >> /data/.supersu
and reflash superSU from twrp..securesettings will be enabled...

You can actually enter that command in TWRP's terminal as well before you flash SuperSU. Saves that one extra reboot.

[Terminal] App Systemizer
Terminal App Systemizer systemizes Apps systemlessly! This is inspired by App Systemizer by stangri. I then decided to make a script/UI in Terminal emulator for it to make 'app systemizing' easier.
How to use:
Install from recovery
Type su and
Code:
systemize
in Terminal emulator or adb shell (use -nc, -a, -d, refer below)
Systemize Chosen App/APK!
And reboot to apply changes
OPTIONS:
** If you don't want those colors, use -nc.
Code:
systemize -nc
** To directly systemize (without ui) a given package name/s, use -a
Code:
systemize -a com.oasisfeng.greenify org.adaway
** To directly systemize (without ui) a given apk/s, use -d
Code:
systemize -d /sdcard/example.apk /sdcard/example2.apk
** Uploading logs
Go to the menu and type `logs`, this will upload the log files of this module and will generate a link. Send that
Alternatively, Send `/cache/terminal_debloater-verbose.log` here. I'll examine it for problems and will try to fix it.
Dowloads are here!

HERE'S A LITTLE VIDEO ON HOW TO USE IT:
F.A.Q
Q. Why do I need to systemize apps?
A. Some apps provide extra functionality as a system app (like Greenify, Launchers, etc). And if you just want an app to be a system app for no reason .
Q. Is A/B Devices (Pixel, Essential, MI A1 etc.) supported?
A. YES
Q. What's the advantage of using this over the other systemizers?
A. This one is very light weight (since it's just a script). And it's also very versatile and supports almost all devices.
Q. Something's not right??
A. Report in this thread...
When a systemizied app is updated, how do you re-systemize it? Do you just rerun the terminal UI and choose the updated app and reboot? After reboot, does the updated app replace the old one?

No, it's like when you update a system app from play store, it stays as a system app.
No need to do anything if it's updated :good:

What if we wanted to use this as a tool to save space on internal memory? Once the systemized app is updated, it would take space on internal storage right? Anyway to put it back into system?

Apks are not stored in internal mem. It's stored in /data. This only affects apks so i think saving space is out of this module's fuctionality.

Some users got this problem with my snapshot updater module & I had to remove "pm" from it... I think is a common problem with Nougat, because in Lollipop & Marshmallow all is fine... Do you may enable all usb debug options under developer settings in Android?

I'm not trying to get on you, or burst your bubble, so please don't get mad. I want to know what the difference between this, and titaniumbackup pro? It has a function to turn user apps into system apps. I'd rather use this, cause titanium can get wonky sometimes.
Does anyone know how to completely remove Google services on EMUI 10? Maybe some ADB commands because I can not disable core services from GUI? I don't need their bloatware, especially after they added COVID s*it inside.
Thanks a lot and have a nice day!

Download "package name viewer 2.0" from market then open it and Search for "package name" for the app you want to delete,,
Open adb on your computer
Put those codes :
- adb devices
If you see an entry listed under the “List of devices” section, then your device is connected.
- adb shell
- pm uninstall -k --user 0 package-name
For example you want to delete google play services app,, open package name app and search for package name for that app,, will be "com.google.android.gms"
So..
- pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.gms
So do this with the rest of the apps you want to delete..
Will factory reset restore all removed packages, just in case something goes wrong?

That is an interesting tool. I will have to check that out. Right now, I am running LineageOS with MicroG (an open source replacement for Google Play Services) on a Samsung S10+ (SM-G975F). But because it is the international model (the only ones that support unlocking the bootloader) I do not have all LTE bands enabled and so I have poor reception in places (not terrible but I am concerned about when I go into rural areas).
So, now I am thinking about getting a Canadian model and de-bloating it instead of running an alternative ROM.

Last night I used bugjaegar to uninstall some bloatwares along with REALME THEME SERVICES. In the morning the screen is flicking and fingerprint and all functions are not working. Just suggest some way how to fix this?
How to install that THEME SERVICES without accessing phone (screen not working) and I don't want to reset the device. Please guys help me here in this situation.
I just ran into the same problem after debloating my Realme 8 5G (RMX3241). Have you found a solution yet?
Edit: Had to do a full wipe from recovery mode. I ended up just debloating google apps. I'll leave the other system apps as they are.
I don't know what bugjaegar is. But the same thing happened when I uninstalled com.coloros.weather.service with adb (My screen started to turn on and off). I don't know if bugjaegar fully uninstalls the system app or not, but if its the same as uninstalling it with adb, then you can do
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.coloros.weather.service
if this doesn't fix your problem, try figuring out the package name of theme services and install it with the same adb command but replace com.coloros.weather.service with the theme service package name.

I used this list to debloat my Realme 8. I hope this helps.
I had also once to do the recovery mode, in my case I suspect I should not have removed com.heytap.appplatform but it would be good to know for sure. Maybe everyone could list the apps that he removed without bricking the device (adb shell "pm list packages -d | cut -c 9- | sort") so we could compile a list?
I think you have debloated 'Weather and weather service' app. Although u can rebloat them through adb.
Weather app linked is with clock app/widget ... seems too tightly ... may be clock app removal to fully debloating ...
So, I was going through and removing bloat from my phone and was trying to remove the Samsung Contacts app through `adb`, but apparently I removed the wrong thing and now the Phone, Messages, and Contacts app are crashing every time I try to open them. I removed "package:/system/priv-app/SamsungContactsProvider/SamsungContactsProvider.apk=com.samsung.android.providers.contacts" which is apparently a core service. I'm wondering if anyone might know how I could reinstall that APK?
install this apk should solve the problem
If worse comes to worse a factory reset will.
A lot of the bloatware is useful. I prefer to use a package disabler as I can easily toggle them on or off as needed real time.

It sat for a minute trying to install and then came up with, "App not installed" and says that every time I retry.
Trying install via adb I get: "
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install /home/mhicks/Downloads/SamsungContactsProvider.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION: Package com.samsung.android.providers.contacts attempting to redeclare permission android.permission.SEND_CALL_LOG_CHANGE already owned by com.android.providers.contacts]"
Hmmm, perhaps I should remove Google Contacts first...
Okay, that helped, but now I'm getting: "
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install /home/mhicks/Downloads/SamsungContactsProvider.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]"
I thought deleting the "com.samsung.android.providers.contacts" might solve the problem, but trying gave me: "

try these commands on pc
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.providers.contacts
adb shell pm install -r --user 0 /system/priv-app/SamsungContactsProvider/SamsungContactsProvider.apk
The first command returns: "Package com.samsung.android.providers.contacts installed for user: 0", but the second command returns: "Failure [-3001: INSTALL_FAILED_REJECTED_BY_BUILDTYPE]"
If you have deleted the apk with root you just have to paste it again in the folder /system/priv-app/SamsungContactsProvider

It is somewhat complicated to recover the device without wipe in the past I had these problems, it was solved with a higher version of the application
@rtd4, I suppose it's time for a wipe... Thanks for trying to help me.
If you had made a copy of all your apps including system apks with ApkExport you could now use that copy to restore it.
Now before you factory reset make a copy of your installed apps and any system updates then save it on the PC or SD card. After the reload you won't need Playstore. It speeds things up a lot...
APK Export (Backup & Share) - Apps on Google Play
Manage and extract your apps.

@blackhawk, thanks for the tip. Right now, I'm trying to set up a Telegram account so I can root my phone (US version) if I'm going to go through the trouble of wiping. Unfortunately, Telegram's SMS verification appears to be broken or at least doesn't like Mint Mobile... Fun day.

You're welcome.
You really don't need to root.
Consider the possible consequences carefully.
Package Disabler will easily block apks you don't want running.
Well, it would appear it's moot anyway since I'm at Baseband v4 and only v1 can be rooted apparently...

This is the one I use:
Home - Package Disabler
The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.
www.packagedisabler.com
It has an interactive widget that allows you to toggle selected entries on/off. It runs even in Safe mode so be careful what you disable. I've never had to do a factory reset because of it but the potential is there.
Unfortunately it no longer disables Google play Services but will disable all carrier bloatware including OTA updates.

Then how come you have removed apk from system?
In case you have used command like

Or
If you have used
pm hide packageName then try
pm unhide packageName
