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

Ok, so I managed to get my fire rooted again after the 6.2 update with little to no problems. However, my gmail, market, etc is still broken. I've tried reinstalling the apks to no avail. It won't even install the google framework at all. I have ESFile Explorer & just gave it root access, but that's not helping me too much, since I don't know what I'm doing. If someone has some steps to try, I'm up for it.
Try this

1. Mount /system as rw
2. Copy the google framework.apk to /system/apps
3. Set permissions to rw- r-- r--
4. Install the google framework.apk (This is how I was able to keep my gapps functiong after the update. I think this will install it under /data/apps. You don't have to install since anything in /system/app runs a boot, but it will probably help in avoiding to have to re-do this after every update.)
5. Reboot
6. Follow the regular install steps for the .apks you want to add.
7. Make sure /system is read only when you're done.
These are pretty much just a reprint of the steps from this thread. So I would take a look at it.
I don't use ESFile Explorer so I can't help you with specific actions, just the general ones. Sorry!
I did everything, using root access on ES File Explorer. No dice. All the APKs are in the system/app folder. The still refuse to install. I still get "application did not install" on all of them.

Change the permissions on the apps in /system/app as he said above. Reboot. Done.

I don't have any options to change permissions, but they are the same as all the other apps in the folder.
Hello guys,
I can't copy any app to system/app, nor command in the terminal or with apps from playstore. And I can't flash any zip because after flash and reboot, Android starts a kind of recovery and deletes any changes the zip did.
I'm using the latest stable version of MIUI7
Any solution?
You need root ._.

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.
Okay so recently I have rooted my E4 (Sprint) and can't seem to uninstall system apps. It comes with face book and all that other Sprint bloat. But when i use an app to try to uninstall them, they just stay there. Any help? I'm currently rooted with magisk 13.3 and have xposed installed along with busy box.
install root explorer app and try manually deleting apps (/system/app) (/system/priv-app)
This will work for sure

I've tried using ES file explorer pro and the Facebook or Sprint apps aren't in any of those folders for some reason...

Any way of doing this without a PC? I'm currently away from home and need something mobile
What app are you using to remove the apps? Titanium Backup? I've had TBU not uninstall some apps for whatever reason, but link2sd was able to remove apps. Might want to try it.
I've noticed some of the apps that are carrier installed are in the oem folder, deleted them and problem solved. This was on a metro PCS variant.
This is the oem folder, I used FX file explorer.

I have the Sprint version but when I try to erase any app from those folders the device freezes
It was freezing on me when I was using root explorer pro, that's why I ended up switching to FX. Also when you rooted your device did you do a wipe and then flash noverity and then su because if you didn't do the wipe your phone might still be encrypted and it won't allow you to modify system folders.

I can't get it to work with FX either. It just freezes the phone. I don't get why it works for you.

You could try deleting them in the file browser on twrp
That is how I had said I to do it in the thread I started explaining how to do it. This users problem is they can't find the option to mount the OEM folder in twrp to be able to see the contents in the file manager to edit it.

I formatted the system, flashed magisk then noverity
In order to make it work for me I had to format data in twrp then reboot twrp and then flash noverity first then your root of choice and then it worked.
I REALLY don't want to format again only to find out it may not work..

So, I tried This on my hd 8 2017 after rooting it. it didn't work and i ended up deleting /system/priv-app/FireTabletSettings instead of just the apk (when it didn't work) so i couldn't/can't open settings. this was my first time rooting, so i don't know anything, and thinking factory resetting would fix it, i reset it using recovery. turns out that doesn't do anything to system modifications. not even if i can get a settings apk, i can't enable ADB because i can't go into settings to enable it. i think i still have root at least. Any help?

If you have a copy of your settings APK, you'll just copy it back to its place. You can use any root file explorer e.g. FX or ES File Explorer to do this job. I have the same device so I could provide you my version.
Amazon also offers factory images for recovery that will restore your system partition.

I can't copy it though, because I can't install any uknown apps, because I can't enable it through settings. Edit: i also don't have a copy.

Download a factory image from Amazon and flash it via recovery. https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=202144610

I don't think i can get to the root directory to put it there...
Download the latest software for your device from Amazon (the US site seems to have the latest version) or at least use a version no lower than your current one. Copy it to the same folder as your ADB driver. Reboot to recovery mode, connect to your PC by USB cable and do an ADB sideload of the software. When it is done you will have to re-root and disable unwanted system apps etc.
Edit. Same solution as post #4
