How do I make an app into a system app? - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

I have tried titanium backup, link2sd, and system app mover. Everytime I move the app to system the phone will not boot and I get stuck in a bootloop and have to fastboot flash the OTA image.
I am reading I can move apps to the system in twrp but I do not want to have to factory reset again. Any help?

+1. I've been using it for a couple years

You need to remove Verity to do it manually and better yet also edit fstab to remove avb

Do you know why I was getting stuck in a boot loop? Will this fix that issue?

That's the exact app I systemize. Though first I use the privacy mode feature to give it a random package name otherwise it's detected by pgo

Nope, stock was nice and stable. I then used the froyo exploit (z8 or something?), installed rom manager and flashed the zip file from Unrevoked and was back to s-off.

Restore the app that caused it.
Or reflash your rom (wihtout wiping data)

I did a backup using CMW Recovery and then did a factory reset. And with App Quarantine, I blocked unnecessary apps. Now RAM usage is 90-95 MB when no apps open
