[Q] Hide root?

Anyone know of a way to hide my root on the nexus 6?
Thanks, Robert

Hide it from what?

From apps that don't work with rooted phones. The one app in particular is puzzles and dragons.

Does Xposed framwork work on Lollipop yet? You could use Root Clock then.

No xposed on Lollipop yet.

Any workaround till today ? this is really frustrating

Wonder why a game should care if you are rooted?

Wonder why *anything* would care if you have root access....?
It isn't like any possible detection method can actually verify that the device *does not* have root.
For example;
cp /system/bin/sh /system/bin/bitemerootchecker
chown root.root /system/bin/bitemerootchecker
chmod 6755 /system/bin/bitemerootchecker
Now you have an "su" command that can't be detected.

[MODULE][Terminal] App Systemizer v17.3.1

[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.

Damn, what happened? What rom?
Anyways, I'll try to find a workaround for this without using pm

No idea why that's happening. Stock 7.1.2, just did a factory reset a few days ago.

I couldn't find a workaround for this, sadly. You have installed 3rd apps after factory reset?

Yes, I have quite a few apps installed. It does the same thing without the -3 option, too.I wonder what could be causing it?

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 have USB Debugging enabled, yes. I'm not sure what you mean by "all usb debug options".

All options related to install/verify from Debugging section (maybe different in your ROM).

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.

Lost my navigation bar completely after using an app to hide it...

I used an application to hide my navbar, however, it was glitching and flickering forcing me to stop and uninstall the app.
Doing so permanently removed my navbar. Issue is any other replacent navbar I am not able to use. I must enable access in the accessibility option, however, when trying to do so I keep getting ''settings has stopped working'' error. How can I fix this?

Bump. Anyone? Even when trying other third party apps such as power toggles, I am unable to use the back, go home or recent apps menu....
Any way of restoring the soft navbar keys?? I am unable to do anything without them. The last resort would be to factory/data reset, wipe or re-flash rom. Please advise.

Try clearing cache in recovery mode.
Or
On PC with adb command uninstall the app but with the com.xxx.xxx name of the app.
Or
You can try to flash the stock rom 3 files + home-csc file (won't wipe data).
Or as you said factory reset.

I will try the second option, using adb command. I believe the name of the app that caused me this issue is ''Navigation Gestures''
This one - ''https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar
However, it was uninstalled yet my navbar is still missing. Ever since I tried other ones without success. How do I remove all the ones using adb?

Hi,
In the future, please contact us directly via email. If you uninstall the app without reverting the pill like we warned, this situation will happen. If you have access to ADB, you can manually re-enable the nav bar by running the following command:
adb shell wm overscan reset
The "glitching" and "flickering" by the way, happens if you use Samsung's nav bar hider and not ours. Version 1.2.0 of the app has much better compatibility with Samsung phones (tested personally on a Note 8.)

I re-flashed my rom 2-3 times due to bootloop/not booting due to messing about with several navbar hiders, VERY surprised that messing with the navbar can prevent the phone from booting!
Even when trying Substratum with the paid addon, even this caused a bootloop/unable to boot.
I may of even tried your version, cannot remember, what is the latest version YOU have that has been tested and works with Note 8? I'll give that a try.

Is there an ADB command for no root to swap back and recent on the navbar?

Hello all, I'm used to having my back on the right and recents on the left on the nav bar but for some reason Amazon won't let me swap them in the settings. So I tried to the ADB commands
adb shell settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "STRING"
And
adb shell settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,recent;home;back,space"
But the second command gave me an error and it didn't work. Is there something I'm missing or is rooting my only option?

Even with root swapping back/recents is not easy (reliable) in the absence of a custom ROM or Xposed Framework + GravityBox or similar tool.

Ah, I see. I guess I can root and install Xposed and try it that way. Bit silly that something so basic isn't just included, I really hate FireOS.

Key swapping isn't an option on most stock ROMs. Xposed likely won't load/run well with FireOS v5 not to mention the challenges of installing via FlashFire in absence of a custom recovery. You best option is to go with a custom ROM augmented with Xposed. Still requires root which can only be achieved with on 5th gen devices running FireOS 5.3.1 or lower.

Hide Navigation Bar?

Is there anyway to hide the navigation bar in any app? I'm on the global rom for the US.

install fluid navigation from play store and follow the instruction to enable it

Use navigation gesture app from xda google it.
But you need pc to run the adb command which will be prompted by the app...
Once the command is executed grant permission as required.
Root is not required...
Then you can hide the navigation bar and also can use the navigation gesture..
Enjoy !!!

I'm a little new to ADB. I have my red magic 3s in USB debugging mode but when I shift right click in the ADB folder and type ADB devices, powershell doesn't recognize the command. Do I need to download the Nubia USB driver first?

I finally figured it out! This is still much better now! I also bought the pro version of fng. It works great! Thanks again for the recommendation!
