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.
I came across this guide that explained how to get a sideloaded apk to work with Android Auto.
It got me thinking, there are always some apps that don't respond well to integrations due to the getInstallerPackageName() method of checking the install source.
Would someone be kind enough to create a module that does this so we do not need to connect our phones to the PC every time we update the APK just for a few apps?
There's no need to connect to your computer (and neither for a Magisk module, really). You should be ably to simply run the command in a Terminal emulator instead (without the ADB shell part).
As Didgeridoohan said and you could try as
Code:
pm set-installer "PACKAGE" "com.android.vending"
Replacing PACKAGE with the package name of app installed already you want to change its installer to Google Play.
Can't you do this in titanium backup by clicking on the app and going to special features tab and clicking attach to market?
This pm set-installer didn't work for me. What did was just installing the package (as root , not sure it's needed) with:
pm install -i "com.android.vending" <apk>
Hello Friends,
When I was on MIUI 11, I had removed Mi apps like Mi pay, Mi video, Poco launcher, Mi browser and Mi music by adb. Now I have updated to latest MIUI 12 but I am not able to remove Mi calendar, Mi browser via adb. I get an error message, "failure [-1000]". Why is it happening and how I can remove the bloatware?
Hi Friends,
I am using MIUI 12.0.2.0 China stable ROM on my K20 Pro & I removed all the bloatwares apps included in this rom. For removings apps I use XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar .I suggest you download this tool & install JDK (java development kit) for the removal process. I am very haappy with this tool. I also use it on XIAOMI.EU rom.
I hope your problem will be solved with this great tool.
On global rom the tool cannot remove these apps, no idea why not.

You try this tool on global ROM?
i try that tool on global miui 12 and it cant remove that apps.
But on latest beta orange fox recovery exist option to remove system apps. didnt try as i change miui 12 global to Xiaomi.eu weekly and tool can remove that apps.
so global stable cant remove and xiaomi.eu weekly can remove
I tried with both Szaki's tool and OrangeFox Recovery tool, none of them work.
I confirm that following apps can't be removed on Global (12.0.1) MIUI 12
Code:
com.mi.android.globalminusscreen
com.mi.globalbrowser
com.xiaomi.calendar
com.miui.player
com.miui.videoplayer
com.miui.weather2
Following error occurs when I try to uninstall any of these apps:
Code:
pm uninstall --user 0 com.mi.android.globalminusscreen
Failure [-1000]
I removed it

MIUI custom ROMs are not in question.
You allways can remove these sh*t apps on a custom ROM or, if can't be removed by "pm uninstall" command, you can remove by recovery.
The question is to remove these apps from unrooted and unlocked MIUI 12 global

I understand, but the answer is that we cant from miui 12 global. My phone is unlocked and i had magisk. and miui global stable, removing that apps is not possible with that debloater tool or commands. Didnt try other metods. but with debloater tools as sakis, it doesnt work.

The smallest ADB package for PC that is enough for ADB is Minimal ADB and Fastboot (find a thread on XDA)
According to your error, it was the following ADB command that failed:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <pkg-name>
Try instead the other ADB command:
adb shell pm disable-user <pkg-name>
Where <pkg-name> stands for:
com.mi.android.globalminusscreen com.mi.globalbrowser
...
or package name for any other system app you want to disable - use AppInspector from Playstore to read package names corresponding to the apps
I'm not using any windows command but the adb shell command to access the device then exec pm uninstall command.
I also confirm that I've tried also pm disable and pm disable-user and both fails to remove/disable the related apps

By AppInspector, find the system or data folder and apk name where the corresponding app is installed
By using TWRP (root not required) or e.g. MiXPlorer (root required), go to that folder and rename <app-name>.apk to <app-name>.bak and reboot
If you disabled a critical app causing e.g. a boot failure, use TWRP and rename bak file back to the original apk extension
To use twrp root isn't required but bootloader unlocked.
My bootloader is locked

Thanks a ton!! The MIUI browser (com.mi.globalbrowser) had been bothering me for quite some time, and because of you I was able to get rid of it! Thanks!
I can also confirm that using the disable function works on both the browser and calender apps, you can't uninstall but it will accept disable - problem solved

Btw, there is not much difference in disabling and 'uninstalling' - i.e., don't think that
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <pkg-name>
would really remove the package from your system
It only uninstalls for the current user 0 - but the app is still available on the system for user 999
And the opposite command:
adb shell cmd package install-existing <pkg-name>
would reinstall it (for user 0), hence package was not really deleted from the system (to save some MBs or so)
---
The only differences between disabling and uninstalling (both make it for user 0) are
- Disabled apps are still visible in Settings, Apps and some of them can be re-enabled by click from there.
Playstore will show you an update of disabled app and if you want to prevent its automatic update (and re-enabling) you have to disable its auto-update in Playstore.
Similarly for System apps updater from Xiaomi (disable auto-updating and when it offers to update an app you have disabled, click to ignore the update)
- 'Uninstalled' ones are not visible in Settings, Apps. If you want to 're-install' them you have to remember what you have 'uninstalled'' and their package names.
Playstore and System apps updater will not bother you about their updates
Thanks, but this is just with the ADBFastbootTools.jar and the uninstall option failed for the new Mi Browser and Calender, but the disable option worked. Both are annoying bloatware that can't be fully removed without root, so this is the next best option.
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: "
./adb -d uninstall com.samsung.android.providers.contacts
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]"

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

Due to my previous wrong operation, I cannot manage su now.
I tried to download Magisk uninstall.zip in git tonight, uninstall and then install, install and uninstall, Magisk app is always there (because it was installed by me as a system application).
I have tried adb uninstall (adb uninstall com.topjohnwu.magisk), but I cannot get root privileges.
I tried both of the two uninstall methods in the app, but they didn't work. Every time I restarted, it was still the same.
I cannot use magisk to authorize other applications, nor can I uninstall it from the system software.
In addition, after every restart, it will say that the `su database is damaged, the database will be rebuilt`, and then I restarted again, opening magisk is still the same prompt.
