SuperSU making /system read-only in TWRP and FlashFire?

Hi,
I'm running CyanogenMod13 on my galaxy S4 with TWRP 3.1.1.0 and I wanted to flash XPosed. The xposed page says that it's only compatible with SuperSU so I installed latest Stable SuperSU 2.82 and deactivated root access on CM13 in developer options. Then I tried flashing Xposed framework zip but it complained about /system beeing a read-only file system and I realized that TWRP didn't ask me anymore if I want read-only file system (which it always did before I installed SuperSU) anymore. Looking into "Mount" I see that "system" is not mounted by default but also making a checkbox there doesn't change anything even if "Mount system read-only" is not checked. BTW: Do I have to apply the mounts somehow or is activating the "checkbox" actually enough. Maybe my problem is just that system is not mounted r/w which is my current guess but I don't know how to mount it r/w now that SuperSU is installed.
Then I though, ok if mounts are incorrect in TWRP let's use FlashFire. So I selected to mount system r/w in option for flashing and started the flash. Again even if I selected mount system partition r/w flashfire reported read-only file system. I also tried downgrading to SuperSU 2.79 but same effect.
What the hell is going on since I flashed SuperSU. Is my root now partially broken? The Apps all are working fine, it's just modifying system partition is somehow not possible neither in TWRP nor FlashFire....
Any help or insight will be greatly appreciated.

Try my SuperSU systemmode from here.
Thanks for the link and it also gave me hint what to google for. It seems that my SuperSU is running in systemless mode, so I would need Systemless Xposed too. Unfortunately this also requires Magisk to be installed and Magisk doesn't work with adoptable storage which I can not live without. So I will give your SuperSU version a try and run it in System Mode and try to install official xposed too. Hopefully this works.
Edit:
I had a hard-time switching from systemless mode to system mode cause you have to completely unroot and restore the patched boot image fully (just un-rooting and restoring doesn't do the trick) fortunately I had a nandroid backup from prior to rooting with untouched backups of "boot" and "system" which I could restore. Finally I was able to install the system mode SuperSU (although I didn't use your package, but created a .supersu file with SYSTEMLESS=false) and flashed it.
This now enabled me to run latest Xposed in system mode which was failing when trying to flash in systemless mode. I would have needed magisk (which is incompatible with adoptable storage) to run it systemless. I tried using the old 86.2 systemless xposed but that always resulted in a boot loop whenever I activated one of the xposed modules). Now it's working fine., Thanks for the hint ho led me find out what system mode and systemless really is.
So actually my problem is solved, just couldn't find out how to edit the thread title....

magisk not giving rw for /system

Hi, I have problem with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4. After magisk root i can't uninstall system app because there is no permission to r/w /system. Before last rom installation everything worked great. Could you guys help me?

Question root problem

hi guys
i rooted my phone but unfortunately i can only use it in ro mode and i can not change to rw does anyone know what to do?
root method:magisk v23
recovery: orange and twrp

We can either try doing modification in recovery or use a magisk module which points to required location in system

Question Root problem

Hello everyone, I have a problem with root my A33M variant, my problem is that it won't let me mount r/o in root explorer and in any explorer, does anyone else have this problem? I want to debloat
First you have to flash Magisk.zip with your custom recovery to get root succesfully then you can use lucky patcher to debload or uninstall system apps

magisk v26.1 android 12
Android version above 9 or 10 cannot mount system as rw. You need to create a Magisk module to replace or change anything in system partition. On mount it will Magic Mount the module systemlessly.
