Ok, updated my phone to the first nightly build on cm11, everything is working fine except for the fact that I cant modify system apps or files although im rooted.
Eg. I cant replace bootanimation.zip
Eg.2 I cant uninstall a system app
Is this a problem with the rom or what?!
Reminder: I AM ROOTED!!

What are you using to remove apps ???and how .
Are you just trying to remove the apk in a root explorer? If so does /system have the correct permissions?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
I tried to use the following apps from the play store:
1.Root app delete
2.Clean master
Both failed to work as root app delete says that I am not rooted, and clean master fails to uninstall a system app although I granted it root permission.

And also I forgot to mention that root browser does not let me delete system apps despite the fact that I granted it root permission. I tried solving this issue by reinstalling busy box but that did not work either.
Sorry if I'm posting this on the wrong form, I'm new here

Rom toolbox also fails to remove system apps - however simply deleting them with root explorer works fine (after which, I use SD maid to clear up any corpses).

I told you, I tried using a root file manager app but it just fails.

How do I unflash gapps? Someone recommended I installed it so I did and now I have 2 of some apps and gmail force closes. Everything worked fine before I flashed it so now I'm wondering, how do I unflash it?
Remove the apk files of gapps from /system/app
I suggest clearing data of them before deleting apks.
Root uninstaller
Are you using the latest version (for 2.3.5/2.3.6/2.3.7) ?

I opened the gapps.rar and checked the apps in it then removed them one by one using root explorer. Had some problems after removing a few so I flashed them back and now everything works.

Are you rooted now? What did the script say before busybox detected? su binary detected? Superuser detected?
Download BusyBox Installer it will tell you if a busybox is installed and what version it is.
Not rooted now, no root apps working. it detected super user, was going to overwrite everything except busybox.

alright lets take a manual look download root explorer lite it will work for the purposes that we need it for.
go into root explorer lite and navigate to /system/xbin and see if there is a file named busybox there (and also alot of other files like ] ]]) then navigate to /system/bin and see if the file su is there and finally navigate to /system/app and look for Superuser.apk.
did you try any other methods of root since the update?
retried aio, droid 3, and torpedo thru terminal. Ok, thanks for help.

It can be done but the process is a little involved. removing symlinks and such. the script will remove it all for you.

Hey bud, sorry that apk I sent you didn't work out. I think the easiest way to get it back would be to kdz flash. You shouldn't lose any data or apps or anything in the process but be sure to backup with cwm just in case.
Oh, it's okay
I will flash kdz.
Thanks anyway

Just ask someone you see with your device p760 and get the email apk plus the odex file. Use smanager or other root file manager and move the apk and it's odex where they belong and reboot. I deleted my messenger apk and it wouldn't install with titanium backup. I had a backup of it and i moved both files back to /system/app
Note, the apk and the odex should have the same name. Example, LGEmail.apk & LGEmail.odex
Hope this helps

Removing unwanted apps should not cause any problems unless you removed some vital system app. Only a logcat can give the real reason if the force close.

Bro I tried installing superSU bt when supersu demands root access from superuser, superuser activity of granting is forced close (and that is the problem).
Superuser,at the moment, in my phone is the sole authority to grant root access to other apps (like font installer, rom toolbox, rom manager etc) and the problem starts from there i.e. Granting root access...
