SuperSu 2.67 missing icon in launcher

I installed SuperSu v2.67 on a Nexus 5 running stock Marshmallow 6.0.1, and SuperSu works great for me so far!
The only (minor) issue I've encountered thus far is that the SuperSu icon seems to be missing from the Google Now launcher home screen and app drawer.
I can still launch SuperSu by searching for it in the Google Play store and clicking "Open", and it still pops up when an unauthorized app is requesting root access.
I've tried to do a complete unroot + reinstall, change the SuperSu icon from the app's settings etc. - without success.
Has anyone else encountered this? Is there any way to get SuperSu icon to show up?
Thanks in advance.

Try this with your computer:
adb uninstall eu.chainfire.supersu
Reboot back into Android, then reboot into recovery and reflash, or extract the APK from the zip and "adb install" it.

Edit:
Correction! Found the icon. It was buried in the app drawer all along. What threw me off was that for some reason, when I write "SuperSu" or any prefix of the name in the search box at the top, it doesn't find SuperSu, like it does pretty much any other app. Weird.
Anyway, thanks for the help and sorry about the false alarm.

I'm having a similar problem as the OP except that 2.6.7 binaries don't install on a T-Mobile Note 4 (SM-910T3) in either Lollipop or Marshmallow using either the Normal or TWRP methods. 2.6.5 and 2.6.6 binaries install properly, however.
I tried the command in recovery and got the following error:

In other words, you have a completely different problem that isn't even vaguely related. Not enough info, wrong thread.
Also, adb uninstall doesn't work from recovery, only full Android.

You're right I didn't explain things right. My ROM comes preinstalled with SuperSU 2.6.6 and I have the same issue as the OP as the app doesn't appear in either app drawer and I can't launch it from the Play Store either. I'll try adb uninstall properly.
The 2.6.7 failed install is a separate issue. Do I start another thread here in the same forum? What info do you need?

Mate if adb shell not working then use this as i got same issues before anyway go to setting/application manger then roll down to find this
eu.chainfire.supersu
Then uninstall it & reboot then re install supersu app extracted from supersu zip it should work for u ok

Thanks. I got it to uninstall and was able to reinstall, but it still wouldn't show up in app drawer or open from the Play Store.

[GUIDE][GLOBAL]Flyme 7 update,Disable system apps,Enable night mode,Weather fix

First of all i highly recommend you update your phone to latest version of Flyme as of day i write this guide newest stable version is 7.0.0.0G. It brings various bug fixes as well as security update and new functions. It fixed the weather problem too when it would not appear on secondary screen. This is my experience based on the standard model with Helio P25 chip.
JUST IN CASE BACKUP ALL OF YOUR DATA FIRST
Grab it at http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=88&type=1
Installation is pretty straightforward:
-switch off your phone
-now press volume up button and power button at same time, then release power button when meizu logo appears
-phone now will enter update mode, connect it to pc and it should show up as removable drive named recovery, copy the update.zip over it
-once copied tap the start button to begin. the process itself and first boot will take a while
-when done and phone boots up just log in to your accounts and set up everything as normal or whatever
ta-dah ! you should be running latest software now.
Next problem i've encountered was big number of unwanted apps and you will need working ADB for that. I've always used custom roms which did not contain bloatware. Now im giving you one of the way of disabling them (not permanent removal).
For this to be done you need to activate developer mode and usb debugging, simply go to settings->about phone->and now tap on your build number several times
After you activate it it will be available in accessibility options under developer settings. just check the usb debugging and you're good to go
DISCLAIMER: dont ask me about adb drivers for your phone, since i had issues installing them under win 10 x64 build 1803 i thought "aw f*ck it" and just did it on linux where everything worked out of the box.
The application you will need is called Ice Box (you will find it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.catchingnow.icebox&hl=en_US) and install it.
After you install the app its necessary that you remove ALL of your accounts including your Google account. We will need to grant the app device owner permission. Also if multi-user or guest mode has been set on your device, it need to be closed or deleted.
When you have that done just type in your command line , terminal or whatever "adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.catchingnow.icebox/.receiver.DPMReceiver "
Now reboot and add your accounts back, and disable/freeze uwanted apps.
Last - the night mode. As its no longer availble in Flyme 7 if you want to use it you need to manually bring it back by installing Flyme Lab and enabling it trough quickshortcutmanager. Install both apps, then open quickshortcutmanager and search for Flyme Lab. expand it and choose the activity named com.meizu.flymelab/com.meizu.flymelab.component.nightmode.NightModeSettingsActivity .Create shortcut and open it. You should be able to enter the night mode.

Nice guides, thanks.
It's also nice that Flyme 7 still supports rooting, therefore I'm using Titanium Backup to freeze unwanted apps. I bought it when I was using another phone so, for me, it's still worth it. Altough, for uninstalling system apps I'm using separate ADB commands for each app.

Its first time for me writing a guide so good word is always appreciated. What im trying to show here is the no root way of getting rid of apps for ppl like me who dont want to root their phone. As i bought it literally two days ago and i dont want to mess with it too much and loose warranty or/and OTA updates.
I also been considering posting a root guide once i tried it myself to confirm it working.

Well, before I discovered a rooting method for Flyme 7, I used to uninstall apps by using ADB commands. So, yes, it is possible to remove unwanted system apps without root. But now, after rooting Flyme 7, I'm only using Titanium Backup to freeze unwanted system apps, not removing them.
As far as I know, rooting Meizu phones by the official method (from Settings) does not lead to losing warranty. Only OTA updates are lost, but this is not important, at least to me, because I can always check Flyme website for new updates and, if I want to update, I just download the file and flash it through standard Flyme recovery. There is no need, for me, to maintain OTA capability. Anyhow, Flyme updates are slow to non-existent, so we can't really complain about losing an update.

Thank you all. I'm happy with this phone at all, but software has few shortcomings and design flaws, in my opinion. Especially related to the integration with "flyme login" and Touchpal. This last one is very annoying because although I try to stop it, at each software update it comes back, more annoying than ever. So, I have some questions: which is the adb command to stop and freeze bloatware without rooting? Which is the official way to root the phone? Once rooted, is it possible to revert to the unrooted state? Some apps, actually, do not work on rooted phones. Thanks

I can't freeze (or disable) apps with ADB commands, only uninstall.
You need [email protected], App Inspector or similar (to find exact name of package for an app) and these commands:
adb devices
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 name_of_package
Example, for gmail:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.gm
Regarding rooting, as far as I know, the only method that works on Pro 7 / Pro 7 Plus is also supported by Meizu (but it breaks OTA updates).
The method is described in this video (in russian) but it's quite easy.
If you want to remove root (or if root breaks functionality) you have to reflash the same ROM from Recovery (without wipe).

Any air update coming soon? Or manually installation single option?

N960U1 and could not update software. Need help.

Hi everyone,
So straight into the problem: I got my phone around the end of November 2018, which was when the Security Patch for that month came out. After that last update, I checked manually every month to see if there was another one. But after 12/14/2018, which was the last time I was able to check for updates, the phone would keep saying that it failed to download update, and a network or server error has occurred. I desperately need help.

Boot into recovery & wipe the cache partition,reboot to system & then try again.
If that doesn't help,try using Samsung Smart Switch on your PC to update.

Sadly, none of the two options worked for me. I have also tried booting into Safe mode, but the same problem would occur again. What else can I do, other than a factory reset?

The only thing I can think of ATM is find the system apps responsible for system updates (two,I believe) wipe the cache & data ,if possible,from both,& try again.
If you are running an unadulterated version of the firmware that shipped with the phone,I'm stumped as to why you cannot update.
If you have any disabled apps perhaps enable them to rule out anything that might be causing this.

Do you have to rely on ADB to wipe the cache and data? I found the two system apps that are used for Software Update (com.sec.android.soagent , com.wssyncmldm), but I can't seem to find the command code to do that.

No,just navigate to Settings > Apps & tap on the 3-dot menu in the corner,select to view all/system apps & wipe each software update app.
If the buttons are greyed-out,then of course that can't be done.

I have just tried wiping the cache and data for the system apps, and also wipe the cache partition of the phone, yet nothing changes. I think what happened was that I accidentally disabled the two system packages for Software Update through ADB before this problem occurs, and now re-enabling them would have no effect.

You can't re-enable apps that have been disabled by ADB w/o a factory reset.
In the future, you may want to consider using one of the Package Disabling apps that are available to avoid situations like this.

If that's the case, then it wouldn't make sense that I were able to re-enable quite a lot of apps disabled by ADB. Or is this a special case where the crucial system apps that when disabled, they can't be re-enabled again?

So problem is solved: I did a factory reset, and the software update works just fine. I guess that the assumption about disabling crucial system apps caused them to not become re-enabled again must be right. Well I learned my lesson now - not to abuse ADB too much when it comes to bloatware. Thank you once again, I appreciate your help a lot.

No problem, glad to be of help.
As for the ADB Removal & re-install of apps, I 1st heard about it from this XDA article/how-to:
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/amp/
As it mentions the inability to re-install/re-enable apks, I just took their word for it & never uninstalled anything that I might need at some point.
That's why I like using package disablers, it's easily reversible without a reset.
Regardless, a factory reset isn't the end of the world, just a PITA at most.
Glad you got things going again.

Sorry to bother you again, but now I have problems with package disablers. I'm currently using a package disabler app, and it requires Device Owner App permission in order to disable bloatware apps, which can easily be done through ADB.
adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.pdp.deviceowner/.receivers.AdminReceiver
However, upon doing this, the lock screen of the phone will now show "This device is managed by your organization" at the bottom of the screen, and I don't feel comfortable about it. I have tried to uninstall the package disabler after done removing bloatware, but it wouldn't let me because the app is now a device administrator. I kind of screwed up myself after using the uninstall option inside the app, without knowing that it has completely uninstalled all the bloatware I disabled (instead of uninstalling the app itself), and caused my phone to stuck in boot loop, but I managed to fix that by another factory reset.
What kind of ADB command do I need so I can remove Device Owner App from the package disabler after I'm done disabling the bloatware?? (this is so ironic: disable a package disabler). Very sorry to disturb you again.

Glad the problem was solved. My view is that concern with bloatware is a vestige of the past. On present-day phones, I'd guess that less than 0.1% of storage, memory, processor time, or battery charge are tied up with bloatware apps. So trying to identify and disable them won't have any noticeable benefit, and may well break things.

The message is just a generic one (as used when you grant admin rights for work e-mail,for example).
What it comes down to is if you trust the package disabler app & its developer,as I don't think there is any way to revoke the permission as long as you are using it to disable any apps at all.
I may be wrong on that,but,it seems like that's what's going on here.
If this still bothers you,then the next best solution is to continue using the disabling app long enough to determine which apps you are 100% certain are not needed/wanted.
Make a list & then switch to the ADB method.
That way,you get the admin rights to the disabler app off of your phone,but,you do give up the flexibility of the app as well.
The only way I see around your predicament is gaining root access & using the disabler app w/o admin rights,or,another app such as SD Maid Pro or Titanium Backup Pro.

Question Problem after debloating realme 8

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 ...

Question Okay, I'm stupid...

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

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...

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
pm disable packageName . Then try pm enable packageName
Or
If you have used
pm hide packageName then try
pm unhide packageName
