Is it possible to access and manage (delete/add/transform) system files through TWRP/CWM with aroma file manager without super su installed?
Thanks
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'm currently on a ROM with magisk v8, superuser and Xposed preinstalled. With these installed, there is no way for me to login.
Does anybody have any workaround to bypass the login verification screen?
I've tried titanium backup but it logs me out after I restore the zip.

Sign in without root then root the device, Install titanium backup, Backup the app+data, Copy Titanium folder to sdcard, Install rom of choice and copy back the folder to internal storage and reinstall the app+data
Works 100% for me every time :good:
Its preaty simple. I just want to flash twrp, reboot to trwp recovery mode, go to file manager, move a installed app to system/app and then reboot and use my phone as usual. Have someone tried this?
no one ?

Yes, always. But you need root to change the permissions of the app.
Just root and use file explorer to copy apps to system/app or system/priv-app and set permissions.

You can do this via twrp
Hi.
I am new to this rooting and stuff. I got my pixel 4 rooted with magisk manager. (To activate motion sense). But now i am trying to convert user app to system app And it doesn't work. I have tried link2sd,system app mover even use fx file explorer to paste the app in /system/app. It just doesn't work.
Also tried with magisk module systemizer, the app get transferred to system but that app only crashes.
What to do? Am i doing something wrong?

I can't say anything about the mentioned magisk module because i don't use it.
But i think your system is ready-only as it is by many other phone nowadays and that is probably the problem. For example i can't modify system on my pixel 4 xl because it is mount as read-only (and i have installed Magisk, too)
That's the main reason why Magisk is the root tool nowadays: it works systemless so it doesn't need to touch the system partition.
I know some apps could mount the system as read-write in the past and i think adb could do this too theoretically.
But i can't give you detailed steps because i didn't need to mount my system as read-write in the past.
