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'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.

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.

I'm using the Magisk interface and Secure Settings just works with the root method that is built into Magisk,

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.
I outsourced rooting my device. Now I need access to Magisk to change the settings for the monitoring software I need to install. How do I open the Magisk app after it's been hidden? TIA!!!
It's in your app drawer, named "Manager".

Just run the app "Magisk Manager" or "Manager" (with the Magisk icon) that is on your app drawer.
Don't you have it? Well, then you don't have a proper installation of Magisk, at least the Manager is lacking. Download it (the apk) and install. Then open it and see if everything is fine or not. Check main Magisk release thread for links.
Thank you so much for replying! Magisk Manager is not in my app drawer, but it *is* listed in the device settings as an installed app. I just can't figure out how to open it. I assumed that app had also been hidden somehow. Advice?
Whoever you outsourced it to have done something that's not standard. Ask them...
Bummer. They'll probably charge me again. Thanks for your help, though!!!

Yeah, that didn't work. So I'm again trying to DIY...
Your wonderful guide says:
Unhiding the Magisk Manager
Go to the Manager settings and choose "Restore Magisk Manager".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But I can't do that because "Manager" is not in my app drawer.
You also have:
Starting MagiskHide manually
MagiskHide is enabled by default and should start automatically on boot. If it isn’t working, try toggling MagiskHide off and on in the Manager settings. If MagiskHide just won't start when toggling it in the Magisk Manager (check the Magisk log, it might have started but the Manager doesn't reflect it), try starting it manually. This can be done in a terminal emulator (as su) by executing the following command:
su
magiskhide --disable
magiskhide --enable
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I downloaded a terminal emulator and ran this command, but got this error message: su: unrecognized option '--disable'
Any more tips before I lose more money? Should I just try and reinstall Magisk completely? Having watched the tech guy do it the first time, I'm not sure I'm completely up for the task. Would it be easier after it's already been successful? Should this be straightforward, or am I better off handing over my wallet?
THANK YOU so much!!!

I'm curious... What happens when you want to grant superuser access to an app? Do you get the prompt to accept or deny?
I'm also curious what Magisk version you actually have installed. What's the result if you run this command in the terminal emulator:
Code:
magisk

You need to run the three commands separately, not all together.

My first tip is to not trust your "tech" guy... From what you've described here it doesn't at all sound like he knows what he's doing.
Secondly, I would try to install the Manager and see what happens. Download the apk from here (that's the current version of Manager v7.2.0) and install that. If that works you're golden, if it doesn't report back...

So I downloaded and installed this apk. I think. All that's necessary to do that is just click on it while on the phone, right? It said it was updating my previously installed Magisk Manager, so I assume it worked. But both immediately and after a reset, there is still nothing new in the app drawer. It still shows in my phone settings->apps, but that's it.
I've attached a log from my results in the terminal emulator regarding magisk and magiskhide. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
What launcher do you have? Sounds like the guy just his it from showing up the app drawer?
Sent from my MI 6 using Tapatalk
I was about to kick myself if it was that easy. Just installed Nova to check, and still no Manager app.
So should I just try to reinstall Magisk completely? Do I need to uninstall first? Is it as simple as opening the .apk on the device?
Hi, I have the same problem, did you find a solution?
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

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.
play.google.com
@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
