Action Button Missing seems a new problem for APatch users, Although APatch application has definitely become the prime root solution for the Android power user community in a very short time, especially because of its root hiding that is on a higher level than that of Magisk. On the other hand, one of the very common and frequent problems with these users is the Action button that disappears most of the time for certain modules such as SUSFS, Play Integrity Fix, and other similar ones. The modules in their work need the Action button to get further settings, and if it disappears, they will be at most only partially usable.
This step-to-step, tested, and permanent fixes guide is what we offer to help you get the missing Action button back in APatch and have your modules work perfectly.
📌 Reason for the Absence of the Action Button – APatch
In the Module tab of APatch next to each supported module there should be a button with which the user can perform additional operations concerning that module. If this button is absent, the most common causes are as follows:
- Out-of-date module versions
- The module to current APatch version is not compatible
- In certain builds some UI parts can be buggy.
- The APatch app may have corrupted data/cache.
✅ Remedy 1: Make Sure the Modules Are Latest Version
Lack of necessary updates is one of the primary reasons to loose control over a certain set of functions. Programmers quite often propagate solving the visibility problem or allow.Api.Module changes to be realized in their updates.
Steps:
- Go to the official GitHub or the developer’s page of your module (e.g., Play Integrity Fix, SUSFS).
- Get the current and reliable version of the software.
- Remove the module that you have installed from the APatch Modules tab.
- Turn your device off and on.
- Use APatch to install the new version.
- Turn your device off and on once more and see if the Action button is still there.
🔍 Tip: Pick modules that are maintained regularly and updated often.
✅ Fix 2: Switch to APatch Nightly Builds
Nightlies might fix issues that are not addressed in the last stable version. These changes can bring back missing UI elements, such as the Action button.
Switch to Nightly Build:
- Remove your current APatch.
- Get the most recent nightlies from official APatch Nightlies GitHub.
- Install manually with an APK installer or file manager.
- Run APatch and check if the Modules tab has the Action buttons restored.
⚠️ Reminder: Nightlies are more experimental and can be less stable.
✅ Fix 3: Clear APatch Cache and Data
In some cases, cache corruption can lead to incomplete UI rendering and hide some buttons.
Procedure:
- Open Settings > Apps > APatch.
- Hit Storage & Cache.
- Click Clear Cache and then Clear Storage/Data.
- Start APatch afresh.
- Put back your modules and make sure the Action button is there.
✅ Fix 4: Manually Enable Action via Module Manifest
Modules, in some cases, allow manual setup by their manifest or JSON config files.
How to do this:
- Go to the APatch location on your device: /data/adb/apatch/modules/your_module_name/
- Find the config or manifest file (e.g., module.json, config.ini).
- Open the file with a text editor (like Mixplorer, Root Explorer).
- Make sure a flag is present for UI or action enabled. For instance: { “enable_action_ui”: true }
- Apply changes and restart.
💡 This is a perfect fit for modules that support developer configuration.
✅ Fix 5: Rolling Back APatch to the Previous Stable Release
In case the issue appeared after an update of APatch, downgrading to the previous version may lead to the resolution of the UI inconsistencies problem.
Instructions:
- Remove the installed version of APatch.
- Locate and download an older stable version (preferably one where the Action button was functioning).
- Install and test the module operation.
✅ Fix 6: Search for the Modules That Interfere
Some modules might affect the way UI is rendered or the way APatch is handled internally.
How to Detect Conflicts:
- Switch off the modules that you added or updated recently one by one.
- Do a reboot after each disable.
- See if the Action button is back.
🚫 It is always the case that things that are still in experimental status, such as overlay modules or dual root systems, will interfere with the system.
✅ Fix 7: Use Terminal to Reinstall APatch
Only a fresh installation from the root terminal may fix corrupted parts.
su
rm -rf /data/adb/apatch/
reboot
- Install the latest APK of APatch after reboot.
- Again add your modules and see the button situation.

🔍 FAQs
❓ Why do only some modules have the Action button?
Modules that do not require any change in the settings are also not needed. Only modules with advanced settings (such as SUSFS or SafetyNet Fix) are those that implement the Action button feature.
❓ Is it safe to use Nightly builds of APatch?
Typically, nightly builds are not dangerous, but they can still contain some unproven features. If stable builds do not serve your needs, only then should you use these.
❓ Can I edit the module to add an Action button manually?
Yes, if the module allows UI flags in its configuration. Implement UI directly means changing the source code, which is impossible without development skills.
