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.

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?

hello im getting the following message everytime i try and download the lists "copying of host file failed! please read help for more information"
ive just updated to the android 7.0 through the developer program, twrp custom recovery installed with root access build number NRD90M
just wondering what could be causing this and if i can do anything to try and fix it thanks
Is your /system set to read only, or read/write? If read only, adaway will not be able to update /system/etc/hosts

i have it set to read write im gonna try to flash the systemless hosts right now ill update how it goes
flashing the AdAway_systemless_hosts_v2.zip in the recovery, then unistalling and reinstalling the app seems to have worked
you can also use Magisk now to enable complete systemless root and then the hosts file /system/etc will be forwarded to the systemless version
I didn't even install Adaway, I just downloaded a host file and replaced it in /etc/
Works good enough for me and one less app running...

In the exact same boat. Frustrating. Tried Adfree, to no avail. Adaway, to no avail. Tried the adaway bind zip file, making hosts writable, and even System to writable. Nothing.

i have fixed this by converting adaway from user apps to system apps using Link2SD, reboot and adaway working properly again
Very old thread, but I've had exactly the same problem installing AdAway on the last 3 or 4 phones -- all but one running Nougat 7.0, the other on Oreo 8.1. This was when trying to install AdAway versions 3.1 and 3.3.something.
I finally got it to write hosts file updates using one of the following, not sure which was the key:
-- Installed version 3.2 which had been running problem-free on an old phone for years. The biggest difference is this older phone is running Resurrection Remix 5.8.3 (Nougat 7.1.2).
-- Before trying to update the hosts file on this fresh install, I went straight to AdAway preferences and set "Check for updates daily", "Enable webserver", and "Start webserver on boot". After making those settings I tapped Download Files and Apply Ad Blocking, and it successfully wrote to the hosts file.
Again I don't know which was the fix. It seems weird that version 3.2 would work when a version just before and after it didn't work for me. But of course it is possible that the version is the difference. It seems even more weird that those 3 little preference settings make any difference at all . . . unless it's just the act of writing changes to the AdAway app itself.
Before installing 3.2, using Root Explorer I checked permissions on the working phone and one non-working phone, for the systems and etc folders, and for the hosts file itself. (In all cases AdAway is/was set to use /systems/etc/hosts.) I also checked Android permissions in the Apps list. All permissions were exactly the same on both phones: 0755 for system, 0755 for etc, and 0644 for hosts. No permissions assigned via Android.
Hoping this bump will also get fresh attention from somebody who might know the details of a real answer.
@Moondroid
Why the hell you trying to make some really old ass version of it work instead of installing the newest version? Lol
I've been using 4.2.7 and though its kind of weird on a fresh install I need to update and apply the hosts twice before searching for newer hosts comes back its up to date. But at least it works.
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.

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.
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?
