We are developing one app that will be pre-installed on device manufacture time. seems like a bloatware app.

we want to prevent our app to uninstall by user like Contacts and other pre-installed app.

i searched a lot on google. but getting the same technique like using device rooting.

i also tried by using this app. but when i am clicking on any app to move to "System/apps", it gives me message

"/system/app mover has been granted superuser permission"

and then i am getting Error i.e

"Error: cp: applet not found"

with Ok Option.

So i tried by using "Es File Explorer" to move app from "data/app/" to "System/app/" its also moving app to "System/app" but when i am going through App Manager, it allow me to "Uninstall". but i want to disable "Uninstall button" like other pre-installed app act.

i tried the same method.

  1. Rooted my device.
  2. Moved my app from data/app/ to system/app/
  3. set permission rw- r-- r-- and reboot.

Still i am able to uninstall my app. Can anyone please help me to fix this issue.

  • There is many apps available in playstore to convert user app to system app in rooted device.Just search. I tried this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.systemappmover&hl=en and successfully moved app. – shine_joseph Dec 15 '15 at 09:43

  • Did you try to move your app to /system/app instead of /system/apps? – leandrocastelli Dec 15 '15 at 09:55
  • Have you tried converting any other apps like facebook, whatsapp?? Sorry I can't really help here with that that error. – shine_joseph Dec 15 '15 at 09:58
  • Error message says that `cp` command could not be found. Please install BusyBox and try again. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox – Igor Gorjanc Dec 15 '15 at 12:28
  • First remove all the instances of app. Uninstall the app from the device & use adb command i.e adb push where destination_path will be /system/priv-app/ and then reboot the device – Gautam Dec 15 '15 at 12:36
  • Steps To make system App on root devices with super user permission: 1. mount our device for read/write permission 2. Copy your apk to sdcard 3. move your apk from sdcard to /stystem/priv-app/ 4. change chown command to system 5. change read write permission to full access. 6 reboot your device. – Ashish Garg May 01 '17 at 14:21
