Not tested, but I know there is a module for xposed framework (i think it is called something like "cloak hider" or similar) it hides root for some apps. Maybe you want to take a look at this?!

Hulu App: G2 CM7

How do I get this app to work on my G2? I'm rooted and running CM7 2.3.7. I have an identical G2 with the same program on it running the same mod and hulu works on it. I would be using that phone but the volume button is broken so I had to root this one I have now to replace it. I don't understand why it runs on a rooted G2 before but doesn't on this new one I have. The only difference I see when I go to "About Phone" is the Baseband Version.
The baseband version on the one that works is 12.28h.60.140fU_26.06.02.27_M
The baseband version on the one that doesn't work is 12.22.60.09bU_26.02.01.15_M2
Is this a factor?
Is there a patch? A zip file of some sort or a work around Cyan has found to fix this?
What do you mean "work"? Are you not able to install it or run the app or watch shows? If you can't watch shows, it's probably because you need to have subscribed to Hulu Plus and then logged into the app.

In their defense, you didn't actually specify what was/wasn't happening; they were just trying to get intput in order to help you narrow down the problem/solution.

You can't use the hulu "app" without a subscription.

WOW ... sorry ... I don't know what I said but I didn't mean to offend you.
I've been looking around and there doesn't really seem to be a clear answer for those peoples issues with Hulu Plus.
One of the simplest fixes appears to be turning off any Ad-Block apps you have running. Make sure after you turned that app off that you reboot your phone at least once to make sure that the app is turned off.
A lot of the other fixes for Hulu appear to only be to play it through the browser.

[Q] Virgin Media TV Anywhere (UK)

Hi,
I have just installed the Virgin Media TV Anywhere App on my rooted N2, it states you can't stream media on rooted devices does anyone know how I could possibly by pass this?
thanks
Yep. Unroot your phone.
I would say your best bet is to search the forum for s thread regarding the sky go app.
In there there's lots of suggestions on how to circumnavigate this non rooted phone requirement.
Hope you succeed

Do you mind uploading the app or giving a download link I can't find the app anywhere. I'm sure there will be an xposed module that will bypass the root check

Virgin's TV Anywhere app is at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.virginmedia.tvanywhere
I would like a version that lets me run it on a rooted device too. I don't plan to lose essential functionality such as ClockworkMod backups just for the sake of watching Virgin TV (TV Catchup does most of what I want anyway) but it'd be nice to have the option.
Andre
I'm the same would like to have the functionality of virgin TV anywhere but not at the expense of non rooted. The TV remote bit works nicely but not that bothered about that. It feels like virgin half assed this app doesnt work on KitKat either but the remote part does???
Hope someone can solve this cheers guys
If its anything like Sky Go its not going to be easy
Any solutions found to this? Have tried uninstalling SuperSU and re-installing the Virgin app but it seems to remember my device is rooted and blank out the Watch button. How would I go about clearing all memory of the Virgin app?
Thanks!
i found a way to do it! method is easy... it is working... pm for details... that is confirmed streaming channels using tv anywhere on rooted device...

Just to confirm, this works with Xposed framework & Root Cloak now. Just remember to remove it from SuperUser app permissions if you inadvertently clicked OK whilst tinkering.
Still not working on KitKat phones it seems

I'm having the same issue. I've got Root Cloak installed and reinstalled Virgin TV Anywhere and am having no luck!

Once you've installed what you need to, try clearing the Virgin app's data, and then your phone's Data Chache and Dalvik, and see if that helps.

Root? Advice...

Hi all...I usually always root my devices if possible and enjoy customs roms in the 3 or 4 android devices I've had....I bought the nexus 7 and I updated to 4.4.2.its turbo fast and great battery life...What am I gaining by rooting with this. ..? Just wondering If someone has input.Thank you.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Rooting generally is very useful for installing system type apps like ad blockers, file managers and stuff like Greenify. Also some custom roms give you the ability to govern processor speed to throttle back when you are not using the device and therefore further extend the battery usage between charges. Hopefully my vague answer was of some use?
Sent from my LG-P880 using Tapatalk
It depends on what you want out of your device, there is nothing wrong with being happy with the stock device, unrooted, but for me, I rooted it for, Titanium backup, stickmount, xposed+gravitybox, francos kernel, multirom...and more, I work in IT and there are tools which help me make my job easier, and my clients networks more secure, which I can charge for!
Thanks weezle...very useful indeed.what is stick box and multi rom m?

No, because as far as I know, it's part of the launcher (although it can be updated through the play store). Ensure its not subscribed to anything and that it it's set to sync as little as possible.
turned off all of your auto update.
Ok, thanks for the quick reply's

That does not delete it. If you want to really delete it too probably need root and system access. And have knowledge about adapting apk files. Maybe it's possible to remove some code from the prism.apk to actually true disable it. But that's kinda difficult i guess.

Barclay's Bank - UK

I'm so desperate to root my g3 but I bank with Barclay's and the app doesn't work on rooted devices. So frustrating. Has anyone found a workaround ? I known things like root cloak don't work with it.

Root your device and use Xposed module RootCloak.
Had the same problem with one of my apps.

why do you need an app for banking ? that's a big security hole in your phone.

Have you confirmed that the app is broken by root? The RBS Android app stopped working when I installed it on my G3 (it worked on my rooted HTC One X+). RBS confirmed that the app is broken on some devices, rooted or not.

It may not be possible. Root cloak methods dont seem to work for this or SkyGo, even unrooting doesn't work for some apps, you need to reflash to stock completely.

root your phone install whatever you want tweaks etc then unroot it and install the barclays app...
It's not so simple. Adblock will be working but Xposed not. Not sure about Barclays app, I can't test it because if it won't work you need to reinstall your rom... Time consuming
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
Ok I did it. I rooted the phone, installed adblock, froze some apps in Titanium etc, Barclays of course didn't work.
Then fully unroot from SuperSu, restart and Barclays works!
Thank god.
Will ota work?

This is the best answer I have seen. Barclays, in general, has a stick up their collective asses regarding hacked phones. Switch to a bank that doesn't care what you do with your phone.
