[Feature] turn user apps into system apps and vice versa #6

Open Megver83 opened 3 years ago

Megver83 commented 3 years ago

I was thinking in something like "/system/app mover" (the F-Droid app), as that's the only FLOSS app in F-Droid able to do that (AFAIK), but it's too old and looks like this feature would be awesome in Package Manager

@Megver83 Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Despite it's a good addition to Package Manager, I doubt it will work on many devices due to issues related with mounting file systems. Still, there is nothing wrong to give a shot. I'll keep this issue open.

any update on this?

It is (infact most of my projects) still on hold due to more important issues in real life. Thanks for the understanding.

Sure, it happens to everybody. As a side note, you could check the App Systemizer Magisk module, maybe PackageManager could imitate its behaviour

Thanks for understanding. & I know how the App Systemizer module works, but it badly needs a fully working Magisk environment, For eg: It won't work in Magisk core-only mode or with other rooting solutions, I really don't want to make this app too much dependent on Magisk.

Cool idea
