Hi. I really miss playing Pokemon GO on Android and I wanted to know if there is currently a way to make it think I'm not rooted. Got HTC Desire 816 with Virgin in USA. I'm rooted, running unofficial CM14 for quite a while, I have XPosed installed (not sure how old it is, or how to update it) as well as Magisk manager and probably several other tweaky stuff going on. I also have my SD card partitioned and run most apps off it using Bulent Akpinar's Link2SD. I am not sure what the next step to get Pokemon Go to authenticate. Once upon a time it worked with something simple but that doesn't work anymore. Any ideas? Thanks. I am not quite to the point where I can post links yet (junior member) but I will provide screenshots if I can get to that point soon.
P.S. I would also like to get Miitomo, Pokemon Shuffle and Fire Emblem Heroes working if possible using the same/similar methods but it's not that important to me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm a long time Paranoid Android user and I'm really happy with it.
But i have one problem. I want to play 'school idol festival' (can't post links) but it doesn't work with root access. Every time i want to start the game it just says: 'Illegal access detected. Game cannot start'
I know this game is not for devices with root access (it says so in the description) but is there a way to solve this? I already tried to turn off Superuser in the settings but it didn't work. So i hope you guys can help me.
Thanks.

I guys just turning of the superuser app doesn't do much since root is still in tact, you've to unroot your device completly.
Also by searching on google for a bit there's no bypass (at least i found nothing).
Another thing is i think that the problem lies with the game and super su, so asking here is not quite right in my opinion.

Try RootCloak from the Xposed Module repository. It hides root, so I suppose it's what you need. I don't understand why you are posting this here, though...
@DeadPhoeni many Japanese games' developers don't allow rooted devices to play those apps for security purposes (avoiding hacks and such) like Puzzles and Dragons. It's not ParanoidAndroid's fault, it's just the developers prohibited rooted devices
I've only just heard about the Ouya, i'm a bit late, I know...
I'm after something to replace my pi for xbmc but I'd also like to have mame, SNES and Amiga games on there too using a real controller.
Would anyone recommend a ROM that allows access to the play store and that also allows use of the controllers or is the stock ROM good enough?
CM11.

If you also want the ouya discovery to get to the ouya store games then don't use CM11,from what i hear it doesn't include the store in any custom firmwre for ouya's,but all the questions can be answered as yes except adding playstore on a stock ouya,and all questions from what i can tell are answered yes for the CM11 firmware or other custom firmwares installed on your ouya.
Personally i'd forget custom rom's and play store unless absolutely necissary,it's hard to get any tuition if you are not savvy tutorials around are lacking full detail explination of every process in laymans terms,and besides you can sideload compatible playstore apps and xbmc without the need for modding so if it were me i'd do as i do here and just have everything barr the playstore and sideload apps that are listed to work with ouya.
This saves time and risk of bricking,unless your adept to a.a challenge where the tutorials only explain half the process in detail and have to scour the net for answers that nobody really responds to questions for. And b.your not bothered about possibly bricking the ouya getting one thing wrong will kill it,unless you are adept to unbricking over fastboot,provided you load fastboot drivers before doing it and allways i mean allways make mure adb is on before flashing anything,it is impossible to recover a well bricked ouya if you don't have both working (adb,fastboot driver installed) without bothyou can't then reflash another recovery if something removes it i use ouyatoolbox 1.0.0.0 to fix missing recovery with adb and fastboot drivers fully recognized in windows xp.

Had got cm11 on it,loads of bugs,glitching screen flicker,force closing the browser in use,bad if logged into a site.I had [email protected] loads of trouble getting back onto ouya firmware glad i did though got an old xbox hdd caddy and usb transfer cable.So i have external hdd but cm11 i couldn'get a hdd as the primary install location,GL to SD app worked free on play store,could then add games to hdd in cm11.For all the bugs i can't be bothered so keeping stock firmware/rooted with emulators etc and media apps,at least it works. :good:
Had to revert back to the CM11 firmware just so i can use a vpn vpnoneclick app does not work as it's loading but not auto configuring,i now use the vpn unlimited (now free) app and it works well extremely fast for free user,nut the problem is on reboot or cold boot it enables the wifi when your on ethernet as if it thinks you have a phone and no ethernet so it's a pain you have to keep un-enabling wifi on every start of the app.
Really angry with the ouya from a vpn perspective as i paid for a year and had 9/10 months elite left on it,next thing vpn unlimited will be paid only,the worst thing with google play store of all things is the lack of paypal payment,without that i don't trust them with my credit card details at all.Otherwise i'd pay for vpn unlimited 1yr outright.
Hi,
I have been reasonably happy with my Wildfire S, even though it was a little slow and clunky. I thought about rooting it, but never got around to doing it until yesterday. The reason for that is that Wunderlist, the only app I actually use has been updated and now supposedly needs Android 4.0+
That's not a big deal right? Just unlock, root and then flash a CyanogenMod based on an Android version that's high enough. To be honest it wasn's as easy as I imagined and it took me the whole day yesterday to read everything, select a ROM and manage to flash it correctly. The only problem: Wunderlist still doesn't run on it!
I have tried a couple of CM 10.1 versions, with various GAPPs builds, but Google Play still tells that it is not supported by my device. I have also downloaded and installed the apk from the Wunderlist website, but the app doesn't start :crying:
Can anybody help me? What is the problem here? Will an different ROM work? Is it impossible to install Wunderlist on WFS?
I have tried A LOT of To-Do Lists and I'm not willing to switch to anything else. If I can't get my Wunderlist on WFS, I think I'll a new phone.
PS: Sorry for the lack of links, but I can't post external links as a newbie
EDIT: So, I managed to install a CM11 ROM, using a more recent version of the ClockWorkMod recovery. CM11 is based on Android 4.4.4, which did the trick. I couldn't access Wunderlist via the Play Store though, but I could isntall it via the apk. My phone is a little slower than I'd like, but at least I have my Wunderlist
Received the FP with 3.5.0 att locked with unlock code from ebay deal today and now trying mess with it and got few questions that I just need to ask before I go any further in the path of no return.
First I`ve been somewhat following each steps here at this Guide to make fire os look normal. Everything is going smoothly and got all the way up to firing up google play but unable to download any apps from it. I`m guessing becuase I have missed installing the vending.apk before opening play store? Now I`m unable to install the vending.apk at all. Is it crucial to follow each install order of google services? Or am I missing something that`s preventing vending.apk install?
I`ve already factory restore the phone to try again but before redoing everything should I even try to upgrade to the most recent 4.6.1 and root at 4.6? Just asking because I`ve read somewhere along the way that upgrading to 4.6 solves some problems with play store. Or is it still best to stay at 3.5 for rooting purposes. I would like to eventually put CM11 in it.
Should I try to unlock the phone first with the included code from ATT before going all the way with rooting and to CM11? Will I be able to enter code with CM11? I just don`t have a nano SIM at the moment and just can`t wait to tinker with the phone. Or should I just stop at root/Google Now Launcher and unlock before trying CM11?
Is safe safestrap like just CWM recovery? Can I Make a backup of the rooted stock Fire OS 3.5 and install CM11 now and revert to stock if I need to?
I'm waiting for mine to come. Ordered from same deal I'm guessing. You can cut your current sim card down to nano if you really want to be adventurous.
How did the prime membership go? Any issues with getting the free year?

Yeah I`ll be cutting in-laws sim so I`ll wait until I sort the phone out. Prime automatically adds a year after putting your amazon email account when registering the phone, went through without a hitch.
Ok so factory restore didn`t really restore everything. Google now app launcher still on when it booted up. So this will be a fun night. Any suggestions on what should I try next?
Is Safestraponly for 4.6?
I wish I knew. I haven't gotten mine yet so I've just been trying to read and prepare.
Have you unlocked the phone?

I believe you would need to unlock the phone in order to install this update since its for an unlocked phone. But I could be wrong.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Not yet need nano sim card to unlock and that`s why I`m being wary on going through all the way tonight. They sent unlock code printed on a sticker with a disclaimer that basically saying once you claim the prime membership you are not able to return it. Found this unlock method for FP, does anyone knows other way of unlocking it without sim card?
I think you need a non att sim card so that it asks for the unlock code. That's going to be my issue. Don't know anyone with a non-att nano sim card

New to FP...one of the 2500 eBay purchasers
I'm in the same boat. Ordered my FP from eBay with the one year extension of Prime...so it was about $50 for the phone after tax and discounting the Prime membership. So my questions are...
1 - What is the best way to go to get Google apps working as I pretty much use much of the Google ecosystem. Should I sideload the Google stuff, or just root and go to CM11. I want to make sure I have all the LTE bands working and I'm not sure if CM11 changes the modem.
2 - If I stay with Amazon Android do I stay on Version 3 or upgrade to Version 4. Which works best with Google sideloads?
Any clear advice to a new user of FP. In the past I've had HTC and Samsung and always unlocked the bootloader and rooted. There is a lot in the forums I have to read but maybe somebody could encapsulate some advice to those peoples who seemed to have bought the eBay deal. Much thank for guidance from experienced users.
From my understanding, there is root for 4.6.1, and Google stuff seem to work better on 4.6.1. So I'm definitely planning on upgrading when I get the phone.

Ok found an old TMobile micro sim and just followed this guy and cut into nano and when I turned on the botched half rooted FP it just asked for the unlocked code and the code provided worked.
So this time I downloaded the Google services zipped file in this thread and jumped to his step 2 and when it came to step 2.iii I followed this guy`s instructions. I had to download es file explorer on amzon app store first so I can get to google services files that I had transferred from the comp. And turned off wifi so the auto update download will not finish downloading.
Basically I got google now launcher working fine was able to install the obligatory Facebook app until I updated the Market with Google play store. After that the dreaded "Google Play ervices has stopped" started popping.
I`m going to try to find a fix but if there`s none, it looks like updating to 4.6 would be the best route. Unless someone can give their 2 cents on this matter.
Ok so updated to 4.6 and rooted with kingroot. Play store worked great for few minutes andand found out about this white screen problem.
I`ll try to see how "stable" the cm11 which I doubt ready for daily use if not I`ll just have the inlaws use fire os. The update made it look closer to their old phone and actually not too bad. As long as they have facebook and candy crush they`re happy. Also mayday would actually benefit me in the long run
Update:
Used the apk files in this guide which looked newer versions and it seemed to do the trick this time while rooted with latest kingroot at 4.6. Even after I installed google now launch and google quick search which forced me to update the google services to use which also ended up updating the play store. So far no issues with play store.
Update:
Play store white death screen is back.......!!!!
I think I finally figured the fix for white death screen!!? The problem is ****ing google is auto updating the playstore automatically to a 5.xx version which breaks Playstore. Found the solution in this link. When GP auto update just disable/unistall updates and reinstall the older 4.6 GP or the last 4.8 GP apk version before 5.xx. Then I tried all possible options to block play store from auto updating. I used the Disable Services app method and the terminal emulator that someone suggested in the previous link. So far no white death screen.
Update:
Google managed to get around my solution and updated play store again, mfckers!
Any suggestions on how to block NSA auto updating play store?
I believe you need to use these on 4.6.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/general/google-play-store-4-6-1-version-4-apks-t3098592 I never had an issue with it

Its a very stable rom. I've been using it one week today. It got an update 3 days ago. You will get the "play services stopped working message" but that's happening with stock. Play store has opened every time I try it. Unless you like fire os better I'd try the ROM. I was skeptical too. In fact, I wasn't anticipating using this phone as my daily driver but that's exactly what happened. Just make a backup of stock to be safe.
Finally I got everything figured out. I just flashed the flashable stock 4.6 image from this thread through safestap. And every google services seemed to be working properly now (Maps, Hangouts,Navigation etc.). I just installed nova launcher and the phone feels like regular android phone right now.
I'll stick with the fire os for now as I need the phone to be really stable before handing the phone to the in laws.
I have the Virgin Mobile version of the HTC Desire 816 and I'm using some year+ old unofficial build of CM13. I'd like to try this ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-816/orig-development/rom-unofficial-cm14-a5-t3468631 but I have Xposed installed (not sure what the version of this is, or what modules, or even how I did it besides that it was for blocking root to Miitomo with rootcloak I believe and that feature doesn't even work anymore) as well as Link2SD+ (paid version) with almost all apps linked to my partitioned SD card. On reboot with my current setup the thing tells me my SD is corrupted but I can always just dismiss that notification and proceed as normal.
How do I proceed to update besides the usual backup procedures? What can I do to preserve the Link2SD stuff/Xposed before updating to 7.1 Lineage 14? I'm pretty new, and thanks for any help.
Bonus: I'd love to get Pokemon Go working again but since it's rooted, no dice. Any help appreciated with that as well.
