Hello,
unfortunately I didn't find any answers to my question.
So, I rooted my S7 edge (Exynos Edit.) successfully.
Everything worked find. I can install root apps, run them, I have guaranted full access to the phone.
BUT,...
the only thin I cannot do is:
Deinstalling preinstalled Apps.
I don't touch system apps.
What I want to deinstall are apps like: Facebook (preinstalled) or instagram. Or google fotos.
When I deinstall them (with titanium backup for example) I get a bootloop.
This is my first phone, where I have this problem.
TWRP etc. working fine.
Thanks in advance!
Install a custom rom with options to remove those apps.

new xperia arc user, successfully unlocked bootloader and rooted phone, installed titanium backup and busybox, and removed some preinstalled apps, however whatsapp still showing as being installed , even though titanium no longer showing it as listed, any ideas. if i click on app, it launches as normal?
That happens sometimes and you have to do it manually by going into system apps and remove it. Reason, I am not sure.

i uninstalled it at the market place
is whats app a system app, as wanted to remove it and I can do is remove updates ?

Hello guys,
I'm a bit out of the Android world since some years, I got my new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duos and I love it.
I installed a Stock ROM using Odin and rooted it with CF-Auto and I have root access now.
However, it seems like I am unable to convert User Apps to System Apps. I tried it with apps such as Titanium Backup and others. As an example of Titanium Backup, it just "hangs" at the "Processing" step and that's it, force killing Titanium Backup doesn't help. The app that should be converted just disappears ("uninstalls") and thats it. I found about S-ON/S-OFF but believe it applies only to HTC phones, doesn't it?
I tried many other applications that claim to convert User Apps to System Apps, without success. Either the app just disappears like with Titanium Backup, or the tool to convert doesn't even work claiming "you're not rooted", even though the phone is certainly rooted.
I tried to do it manually with a root explorer, moving the folder from /data/app/ to /system/app/, the folder is moved, permissions are set, but it didn't work either, the app just doesn't show up.
Does anyone know what I missed? I tried to find a solution by Googling 2 days and trying multiple ways, unfortunately without luck.
Thanks everyone who has any hint to that!
Cheers!
I'm in the same page as you I have been trying to move apps to the system but without luck the reason why I want to do it is because none of the apps that I usually use with root work I'm using a galaxy s7 edge g935FD.
The reason why you can not do that is because samsung uses se for android and on top of that we have this knox
If you can change the selinux from enforcing to passive you Shuld be able to do what you want
I have not found a way to do that
Any news on this?
Hi all,
Pardon me if I am asking a relatively dumb question.
I have an S7 edge on 6.0.1, G935FD, rooted.
Microsoft Office, basically Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and One Drive, came preinstalled.
I cannot seem to create a new file.
I have two options for the file's file location. Either it saves in the cloud through One Drive or at the local device storage.
If I choose to save to the cloud, I can create a file.
If I change it to local device storage, I get an error which reads: "Office can't create your file right now. Please try again later."
Here are the things I have tried:
Delete cache.
Clear dalvik through TWRP.
Deleted updates and reupdated.
Uninstalled apps through System App Remover.
Reinstalled updates, tried to convert app from system app to user app then uninstalled and reinstalled.
After all that, I still have the same issue.
Any advice?
Try to use system uninstaller, remove those apps, reinstall from the playstore and try again
Also if you have xposed framework try to hide root from those apps
Didn't try any of those as i'm not rooted
EDIT: just rooted my phone (SM-G935FD) using chainfire autoroot and Offices apps are working fine including save, try to unroot then test again if working using chainfire method to root again
Settings -> Applications -> Word -> Permissions
I'm on the Nougat beta so not sure if the order is exactly that but something similar anyway. Check if Storage is enabled. If it isn't, enable it and do the same for the other Office apps.
Thanks. I'll go ahead and try these.
Thanks, I've checked permissions and they are a-ok!
I used the system uninstaller by jumobile and it's leaving a data folder com.microsoft.excel and i cant delete it. I think it leaves it there so in the event that i do a full system restore the apps will get reinstalled.
Update. I was able to get it to work!
Moved it from a system app to a user app, then uninstalled. Rebooted the phone, then downloaded microsoft excel in playstore. Fixed!!
I think it was in the order of how I did the steps with the reboot.
Hello!!
My phone is an S7 Edge with Android 7.0. I am trying to manually install updates from apps included in the stock, like the calendar, messages ... etc. However I can not do it because it gives me this error: " App not installed. The package conflicts cith an existing package by te same name".
Please, can someone help me with this?
Uninstall the app and install the newest. If you have still the problem try install over ADB. Then you can see package name with conflict and uninstall it.
Hi,
You're trying to install two apps with the same package name, in Android data system the apps you install have its data saved in a folder with the format /data/*package name*/, therefore if two apps use the exact same package name and have different signatures (that is, one is not the update of another) you won't be able to install it.
As suggested, try to uninstall the stock apps and then install again manually. However I do not think you'll be able to do it, due to the nature of stock apps being installed in system partition. So for manually installing an stock app you'll first need to uninstall it, and that usually requires superuser privileges.
All the best,

That is the answer I have searched for days. You know APKMIRROR right? I am on unrooted SM-G935F (s7 edge) and I was not able to install any system apps before. But in apkmirror, some people uploaded newer versions of system apps and there was one visible difference: older versions which I cannot install was with android head icon, but newer version had it's own app icon next to the name, and that installed for me. For example s8 launcher (touchwiz home). I always got package error when tried to download versions with android head, and when someone uploaded version with its own icon, it installed. Can you explain this?
And now im waiting for new versions of s8 weather widget because there is no version available with the app icons....
All you need to to to install Touchwiz 9.0 is to encript device, and afterward install will go smoothly (All other experience 9.0 apps can be installed too).(Samsung S6, Android 7.0, December security patch).
I recently realized that since October, I can't uninstall my system apps such Calendar, Calculator, FM Radio, etc.
I used EU & MIUI Kosmos ROM and both gave the same result. I usually freeze them on Titanum Backup, then Uninstalled them, then reboot my phone. But after rebooted, the apps kept going back. I tried to uninstalled them with another apps such Root uninstaller, Root app deleter, successfully uninstalled, but when I tried to rebooted the phone it was boot-looped.
So, now I can only disable them through the Titanium Backup. I rooted my phone with Magisk, and I checked the two advanced option in Magisk Manager [Preserve Force Encryption & Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity.
Anyone knows why that happened? And how can I properly uninstall those system apps like usual?
Is the checked choices on the Magisk Manager be the cause?

Yesterday i flashed Hellas Miui and faced the same problem. I tried to debloat using debloater magisk module and it showed successful but after rebooting the apps were still there.
I googled a bit and found out that we need to disable all magisk modules before uninstalling system apps.
Then i successfully uninstalled mi video and weather using "System App Remover (Root Needed)" from playstore.
Try debloat via adb
There are several topics about that.

I had the same problems a month back. I used to uninstall apps using titanium but that doesn't work now and root uninstaller sends the phone to fastboot. The terminal solutions only disables them.
After a lot of research I found a solution.
1. You must be rooted
2. Install any root browser (I used root explorer)
3. Go to
System/apps
System/ priv apps
System/ product / apps
System/ product/ priv apps
All the suckers are there, delete the ones bugging u (u should know what u r deleting, at ur own risk)
5. Reboot and voila :good:
