I have rooted my SMT580 and checked it with Root Checker.
SU works, Root explorer File manager works and deletes some bloatware
I have then installed System App Safe Remover (Which works fine on my ASUS tablet). It will remove my installed apps, but none of the System Apps. No matter which one it tries to install, the pop up window alwas says:
Done, 1 failed Uninstall, Yes
(see attached picture)
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

I have tried using ES File Explorer, Root Uninstaller & Titanium Backup. But they somehow just can't delete apps from the system dir.
ES can't set the RW on /system, neither can Root Uninstaller. And the Titanium "Force uninstall" method does not work either.
Any suggestions?
What apps are you trying to remove?
CMStats, Gallery3D.
Try using Root Explorer > System> Apps. When you get to the list of apps, change the mount to r/w instead of r/o. Now when you long press on the app you will get a series of options, including "delete".
I would not bother trying to uninstall any apps that come with CM7. Being on there does not hurt and uninstalling them can have negative consequences.
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 successfully Desire 626 (At&t) that's on Android Version 5.1, Steps on how to root below:
First Enabled "Unknown sources," Settings->Security->Tick the Check Box and Click yes.
Return to App Drawer, open File Manger and install "KingRoot-4. 1 .0.249.apk" when finish installing open the app
"Ignore any error message" and start root (Internet Connection required) once successfully rooted verify with "Root Checker" app
Now to replace "Kinguser" with "Supersu" install a "Terminal Emulator" app, Extract the file "KS.zip" and place the extracted folder on the root (main) of your Phone Storage, now open terminal emulator app and type the code below:
su
"allow root permission when asked"
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
" after typing the above code ignore any errors til the process is complete, Supersu will open if successful
When asked to update binary select "normal" and reboot if asked.
Done.
N.B. I have package the files needed to do the root here : https://goo.gl/A7BIsD
N.B. Your Bootloader must be Unlocked !
Link to packaged files needed to do the root is broken. Could you please re-post?

Sorry bout that....link has been Updated.
Thank you for the quick reply. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I downloaded the zip file, installed KingRoot and opened the app, but the root keeps failing. I've tried multiple times and KingRoot fails at around 60% every time. I updated KingRoot and that failed, too. Based on your screenshots, it seems like we have the exact same phone with AT&T. Would really love to root if you have any suggestions. ("Unknown sources" is enabled and Bootloader is unlocked ) Thank you!

use the kingroot app provided...if your bootloader is unlocked then it should work.
uninstall kingroot and restart your phone.. connect to WiFi or Data, reinstall kingroot open and try root again..if it fails try again at least 3 more times.
Worked perfect for me

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

I have had the Oneplus 5 for many years. After each update of OxygenOS I uninstalled some system apps (Chrome Google Photos, Gmail, Google Movies etc) in Solid Explorer (with root access).
But, since the update to OxygenOS 10.0.0 with Android 10 this does not work anymore. Solid Explorer says that the app has been deleted, but after a reboot it is still there.
When I try to uninstall one of the apps with Titanium Backup, the message "Cannot remove system app. Failed to locate the apk file."
Does anyone have an idea how to permanently uninstall and delete system apps?
Thanks!

On Android 10 it's not possible anymore to delete system apps directly from OS, even with root access. You must use Titanium for show the path of apps you want deleted, system apps are located on :
system/system/app
system/system/priv-app
Go in recovery TWRP
> mount Cache, System, Vendor, Persist, Data, Firmware partitions
> Advanced > File Manager > system/system/priv-app/Gmail > "Folder" button on right bottom > Delete
Do the same thing for all apps that you want deleted.
Actually,it does get deleted from a root explorer, however, few apps have symlinks as well, or few apps have stubs as well. Hence those may invoke reinstallation automatically. Those are the ones which need to be deleted permanently from recovery (especially).
As you have discovered, several apk files are system linked and so every reboot will bring them back. To counter this I use the xXx debloat script. The module is flashed in Magisk and allows one to select which apps and services you want removed. Here is a link to the module on xda: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82391573&postcount=2.
You can flash the module with stock settings or make a custom profile as I did.
I have a question or two...
1) Is it ok to convert Chrome and Google Maps from system to user apps in android 10?
2) Will first deleting the app using TWRP, then install it from Playstore convert the app from a system to a user app?
