Dec 30, 2018 at 23:21 comment added Irfan Latif @MikeN. systemless root is now no more an option, whether to keep /system intact or not, boot.img is to be modified because root daemons start from init, to fix issues with selinux, logs etc.
Dec 30, 2018 at 16:35 comment added Mike N. If he went systemless, most probably was due to keeping system intact. I was using the zip flash I. Magisk so I can have Action Launcher as system app, before the Google Now Module appeared
Dec 30, 2018 at 16:33 comment added Irfan Latif @MikeN. /system can be modified with systemless root if dm-verity is disabled. But OTAs may break
Dec 29, 2018 at 9:27 comment added Mike N. My bad. Having systemless root, means your main system partition is not modified, and cannot hold any apks added by the user. In this case, you would need to use a Magisk module to add the app to the system partition at reboot.
Dec 29, 2018 at 9:25 comment added Danel Dave Barbuco I do have systemless root
Dec 29, 2018 at 1:25 comment added Empire of E Could you have Systemless Root ?
Dec 29, 2018 at 0:15 comment added Mike N. That might be something specific. I never encountered such issues (seems to be a kernel panic, or os protection). Try going into TWRP, mount /system as RW and then copy the file in the same way, under /system/app. In case of bootloop, after reboot, just remove the file through TWRP.

Dec 29, 2018 at 0:10 comment added Mike N. If you are rooted, then you just need to mount /system as RW: mount -o remount, rw /system ; cp file.name /system/app/file.name ; chmod 644 file.name
Dec 29, 2018 at 0:08 comment added Danel Dave Barbuco Well. I do have twrp and my phone is rooted. But still it doesn't permit me to move apps to system. Where should I move the apps? The os that my phone is running is 6.0.1
