Just to check, are you having trouble installing all apk's, or just the Mosaic OTA apk? If it's just the OTA apk, it's because it's not going to install by normal methods. You'll have to see about dumping it into the /system/app folder with a root explorer (if memory serves me correctly).

Please ask rom specific questions in their respective existing q&a threads.
Uninstall the ota with titanium back up, reboot and then you can install it normally.
By default it is in /system/app and the native package installer only writes to /data/app so if the existing app is still in /system/app it will fail to install.

I did just that and it still sees the original OTA in the system. Is it somewhere else also? I have Root Explorer. Never mind. I just copy and pasted it into system/apps and now it works.

What is "Trust System User" ?

Hello people.
Far as I understand this option is to make apps that are stored in /system/app gain root access without asking user. However, the apps that I have moved to /system/app folder still ask for root access nonetheless. Isn't it system apps that is meant by "system user?"
Thanks in advance.

System user is uid 1000. Apps in /system/app do not run as the system user.

This is because the boot looped in S6.
Please S6 Czech and to create the appropriate file.

Applications not Uninstalling

Dear All
I have a Gionee M2 4Gb. kitkat 4.4..2. It is happening 2nd time. I don't know how some porn apps downloaded in my phone and they are not uninstalling ever after Factory Reset. If I uninstall them they start again.
When for the first time this happened I had to install a new Rom on it.
It seems as a security problem as those applications are setting as system applications.
Pl. guide it is urgent. Pl. also provide some link for Android update .
Thanks.

Well, to uninstall system apps all you need to do is install ES file explorer, or Root Explorer, or Root Uninstaller
All these are guaranteed "safe" apps, with no malware/bloatware/etc.
Using any of these go to /system/app , or maybe to /system/priv-app and delete the APK files of the apps that wont go away directly
You must've been really careless that these apps were able to install themselves to your root: any root app such as SuperSU or superuser or whatever, would certainly ask for your permission before granting the source of these APKs the permission to extract to /system.. or maybe you dont have a root app. well all thats not my concern, i just wanted to help you out
share some screenshots here if you need more help while removing the apps. GLHF.

Successfully Rooted Device (Nexus 9) but some apps not giving me root access

Hi All,
First post here so be nice
I rooted my Nexus 9 yesterday and everything appears to have gone through successfully - I ran the Root Checker app which also confirmed "Root access is properly installed on this device!". I also have SuperSU installed and functioning.
However, when I try to run apps like System App remover to remove unwanted bloatware, the uninstall fails and I am told I do not have root access. I have granted this app super user permissions in SuperSU too.
Has anyone else had this problem or knows how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!!

Just a friendly suggestion/recommendation to help you locate a solution for your issue since I don't have that device.
Good Luck!

Hey,
Thanks for the super-fast response. So I used the Nexus Root Toolkit and everything went through successfully however, I am still finding the same problem.
Root Checker confirms that the device is rooted but when I try to use some apps to remove unwanted bloatware, I am told that I don't have root access and that the uninstall has failed (yes I did grant the apps super user privileges with SuperSU)
Hmm.

I have a rooted arm development board, How to use Magisk to manage root permissions?

Hi, I am very confused how to use Magisk to manage root permissions. I just want to know which apps that have root permissions and grant/revoke root permissions for apps.
My device is not a mobile phone. It's an arm development board. It's already rooted by default.
After installing Magisk and open it, it shows `Ramdisk No`.
`Superuser` tab is grey-out (inactive).
I have no ideas what to do and how to use it.
I did search the Internet, I don't find anything useufl.
Thanks a lot.
PS:
There is no superuser request prompt anywhere in this ARM development board.
I have no ideas how to grant root permission to any apps. I have no ideas if any apps can have root permission or not.
I can use adb shell. The username is `root` from `whoami`. I can access any directories.
