How to install our apps as system apps?

-
Due to the limitation of Android, some root-only functions require you to install our app as a system app.

On Android 8.0 or greater devices:
================================
An app required permissions won't be automatically granted even it has been moved to "/system/priv-app/". If you are using Magisk, please download App Systemizer for converting our app as a system app.

Here are the steps:
1. install and then open Magisk (https://magiskmanager.com/)
2. tap Menu > Downloads
3. install "App Systemizer (Terminal Emulator)"
4. reboot the device
5. install and then open Terminal Emulator (http://bit.ly/2IrPZWN)
6. type "su"
7. type "systemize"
8. type "1" for Systemize Installed Apps and wait for listing apps
9. type the number corresponding to our app in the list
10. type "2" for "/system/priv-app"
11. reboot the device

On Android 7.x or lower devices:
================================
You can use /system/app mover (http://goo.gl/lj23wH) or other similar apps to do that.

If the "/system/app mover" app does not work on your device, you can try to use ES File Explorer (https://goo.gl/GxK5yC).

Here are the steps:
1. open ES File Explorer, open the right navigation drawer and enable the "Root Explorer" option
2. copy our app folder from /data/app/ to /system/priv-app/
3. long press on our app folder, open Properties, tap the Change button
4. enable read and execute permission for group and other
5. open the app folder and open the "Properties" of the APK file by long pressing on it
6. enable read permission for group and other
7. reboot the device

Please note that you have to install the app on the /system/priv-app/ (not "/system/app/") directory.

My device does not have the "Change" button for moving apps!

To move apps to SD on an Android 6 or greater device, you have to format the SD card as internal storage (refer to http://bit.ly/2rOy4Uh ). Unfortunately, device manufacturers may remove the "Format as internal" option (no idea why they want to do that?). If you are using such a device, you can still format the SD card as internal without rooting the device. Please visit the following page for how to: https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-adoptable-storage-for-galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y68EZlCW70E It looks a little bit complicated but, at least, it works w/o you to root the device for enabling this function. As it's the device's issue, you can also get help from your device manufacturer & mobile carrier .

How to format the SD card as the internal storage?

As you may know that, Android 6 introduces a new moving "apps to SD" feature (adoptable storage, refer to #4 below) and abandon the original solution of moving apps to portable external storage. If you are using an Android 6 or greater device, you have to format the SD card as internal storage for moving apps. It's required by Android. You can do that by following the instructions below: How to turn external SD card into internal storage on Marshmallow? 1. Go to the device "Settings" > select "Storage". 2. Select your SD Card > tap the three-dot menu on top-right corner > and select "Settings" (or "Storage settings") from there. 3. Select Format as internal (not Format or Format as portable storage ) > and then "Erase & Format" on the next screen. 4. Your SD Card will now be formatted as internal storage. 5. Reboot phone. This is very important; otherwise, you may end up frustrated with issues
