I have an app that I would like to use. When I run this app it says cannot run on rooted devices . Is there away to trick it into thinking I'm not on rooted device.
You could try vodoo keep root and try to unroot when you want to use the app the reroot with one click.

Time Warner cable app. With the app I can hmm watch my cable tv on my android devices but put it on my kindle and older poo getting g that error
The twc app is easy to trick.
1) Rename the superuser.apk file in /system/app.
2) remove all cases of test-keys from your build.prop. you can change it to release keys.

I am trying to remove the SPG.apk (I believe that's Verizon's tether block application) from a stock rom that is already installed on my phone. I tried using root explorer however it won't let me. I believe there is a way to use adb to do this? If so, what would the command lines be?
use
Code:
adb uninstall <package name>

To delete anything off the /system partition in root explorer, you need to mount the it r/w first. There is a button on the top that should say "Mount R/W". You need to press that before deleting anything.
Root Explorer will let you remove anything you want.
Provided you click the Mount R/W button in the top right first.....

He's gotta be if he's running root explorer. It won't run if you don't have root.
Def rooted, however removing the app I listed below just messed things up. Anybody know how to remove the Verizon tether block without installing a custom rom

I wasn't sure if root explorer would function as a normal file manager without root. Especially considering he said he is running s stock rom.

Nope. It won't run without root. The developer has another file explorer called "Explorer" as opposed to "Root Explorer", and that one runs without root.
I downloaded the time Warner Cable app today, then it said it was for Android 4.0 or higher. So I flashed the sensewich rom (sense 4.0) and it said the app isn't for rooted phones. Does anyone know a way to get it to work on gingerbread or a rooted 4.0 rom?
The app runs, but I can't view live tv.

Try the Market app "OTA Rootkeeper", which has the ability to temp unroot. Not sure about the Time Warner app you are talking about, but OTA Rootkeeper seems to work for other movie streaming apps with root restrictions.
If I recall, some applications do a check for the superuser apk on the phone. If the Root Manager doesn't work, you may want to try renaming the SU app.
Thanks for the responses, but how do I use the ota root thing? It's the voo doo app?
Edit: nevermind

To be clear, you installed OTA Rootkeeper, opened the app, and selected temp unroot? You may need to also reboot, to make sure nothing is lingering in memory that would indicate root.

Use a file explorer (needs root) to rename superuser.apk in /system/app/
Thanks for trying, but none of those worked. Oh well.

Yes. If any doubt exists...You can boot to twrp and before you flash the zip do the following...go to mounts and put a check mark in system. Then go to advanced and select file manager. Navigate to /system/app and rename wifirouter.apk and it's odex to have the .bak extension. Then flash.

Did you freeze anything ?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Just do the edit your self its easy, no need for a flashable. Just use a root file explorer to go to /system/customize/ACC/ and open default.xml in a text editor. Almost to the bottom you will see
Code:
<app name="Tethering_provision">
<item type="integer" name="TetheringGuard_Rule">1</item>
Change the 1 to a 0. Save exit and reboot. The stock wifi hotspot should now work.

Will take a look at this tomorrow when I can get my hands on my friends phone again.
I had the same problem with the phone app force closing, then realized it was because I had used the wrong version. Don't use the one from the first post. There's a link - post 21 I think.

Morning all!
Possibly a silly question but I run 100% stock because of one app that will not work when rooted - Sky Go (a UK video streaming app). There is nothing that has got it to work when rooted so I've not bothered. I don't even need root access these days. BUT I'd like to give CM11 a go and I was wondering if you can turn off the root access in the ROM and then use a stock kernel and it would still boot/run?
If not, not to worry but seeing as CM11S does't have root it'd be nice to see the same available for other phones and not just the OnePlus One
I guess you could run the super su zip in recovery and then full unroot it through the app. Not sure if you'll run into any issues in cm without root, never tried it before

Kinda what I was thinking, it's the kernel I'm more worried about as that needs to be a secure kernel otherwise the app won't work
Might just have to give it a try...

No, otherwise I would've used it
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak
App: Sky Go - BSkyB - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skygo
Method: Most likely detects root via native library (built with Android NDK). Unsure of exact method, but the Java portion of the app contains "VGDRM_STATUS_DEVICE_IS_ROOTED = -41942891", and based on the library name, it's a safe bet.
Relevant Files: libvgc.so
I think Sky Go looks for more than root doesn't it? I think it looks at kernel and software version also, so if you are running anything "custom" it instantly thinks you are rooted.
I just set up a separate rom on my Nexus 7 (Using multirom) for this exact reason.

It works for me. You'll get an error and pop-up window if the intended directory is mounted as read only, just remount r/w and make sure root explorer has root permissions, and it works fine. I use only root explorer, and can absolutely guarantee it works to do this operation, as I started doing the same thing when titanium was unable to convert to system app on 5.1.1.
A click on thanks is always appreciated.

If you're running encrypted, that's the issue. Otherwise, try cutting and pasting. You said before you copied, copy won't work, you can't have the same file in two different app groups at the same time.

I doubt it's the boot .img, depends which ROM you're using I guess, I think it's a permissions issue with root explorer. As I said, I've never seen that operation fail on my device outside of r/o, it works fine for me on flo and four other devices on 5.1.1 ROMs.
