Hello, i have installed Lineage OS 14.1 and flashed gapps full.
Now i need to remove some of the google apps. I have root permission. I tried to remove using Link2SD, AppEater, and Uninstaller, all of the three is not removing those apps, Link2SD is showing error that it cannot obtain root permission, although root permission is granted. What else can i do to remove those apps?

Use a file Explorer having root permission to remove system apps by going to the root storage and then system and then apps.

I can't delete any system apps with it anymore, does anybody else have the same problem or even a fix for it?
Working fine on 6.01 for me, Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling it?
I just updated to 6.0.1 myself, rooted using superSU 2.61. I too cannot delete system apps using titanium. I tried to uninstalled and reinstall the app (via playstore) but it didn't help.
I also tried to do the same via the root explorer option in ES file explorer and it didn't work. I tried to toggle the root explorer option in ES, but after I turned it off I couldn't turn it on again. Root checker does say that I have root, and other root apps e.g. adaway, xprivacy still work.
Any help and suggestion is most welcome!

hey guys, "system less root"
That would modify system... Just freeze the apps.

Some people still want to recover the space.
With systemless root you will need to modify the system in TWRP to get titanium and ES working correctly.
It's as simple as going into TWRP and mounting the system R/W.
You then need to open the terminal in the following places:
/system/bin and execute "touch su"
/system/xbin and execute "touch su"
This will create zero byte files for SuperSu to come along and swap/link to on boot so that ES and TiBu can ask for root and get it.
They will then operate as you expect.; with the caveat that you are on your own when you start tinkering and may break something.

Pretty sure you lose Android Pay with this method though, just FYI if you care about that.
But if you are running Xposed you broke it anyway. There is a way to get it working.
You will need to remove the empty su files you just created to be able to add cards.
You will need to use a Xposed module to hide modifications to the system so that the device check comes back clean.
It's a pain, but if you want Xposed, TiBu, ES and Android Pay, that is the price.

I usually use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp
I'm not on 6.0.1 at the moment so I can't test if it works. Anyone wanna test it out and report back?

Doesn't work. Apps restore themselves.
I have rooted almost every phone I've had and have always used the same rom, superuser app, etc. I recently switched from dirty unicorns 6.0 to aicp 7.0 because of an Android os problem. I have both SuperSU & magisk manager apps and binaries installed ( both came with rom for some reason and can't get rid of either, didn't mind too much) and when I open adaway it asks for superuser permissions and I grant it, then another window will pop up saying it can't find the su binary or I didn't grant it root access. I went through some other forums and tried using a terminal emulator to be able to rewrite system, But came back with saying "there is no such file or directory”. I then tried installing "mount /system ro/re (root)" from the play store, it said it was successful. So I tried adaway again and still says the same thing. Any other ideas?
Magisk has own "hosts", you don't need adaway. @as.hs

I checked magisk and I see what you are saying (I think) and checked the option but it says it doesn't get rid of ads, it just supports adblocker apps, does that mean I still don't need an adblocker?
I'm using AdClear app, it does the work for me. Also we can select individual app in which we want ads blocked

As the title states, my device /system is mounted as R/O and cannot be switched. This ROM has a prebuilt rooted in it, but I tried using Root Explorer, ADB on PC, apps on Play Store, but no luck. So I was wondering if there is a work around with this.

What root "manager" are you using (SuperSU)? When you try to make a root operation, does the root manager pops up and asks you to grant root permissions? I think you don't have a root manager installed or working properly...

I'm using internal root, which is not using TWRP to flash SuperSU, and I can assure you that I have root installed.

This app won't lie isn't it?
Guys, i am on stock os, 7.0 , recently flashed magisk for systemless root and when i tried to use app mover to move some apps to system, i get error as could not remount/system. Tried supersu root as well but same result, im a newbie here. please help Used both Vegito and Ex kernel too. but i get the error everytime. But root checker shows i have root.
You could try the Magisk module named "App Systemizer". It can convert user apps to system apps, but systemlessly.

Thanks, Is there a way to edit system files , like modifying host file ? It seems i have been using system root all these days. Is it still available ?
I tried modifying the system partition in root explorer but it says failed. I am rooted with magisk and other root applications work fine. Wanted to install adaway but that too failed. How to fix this?
