I recently rooted using the Doomlord exploit and have since put the UnNamed rom on my phone. My problem comes when I try to now use tasker to manipulate my GPS I get the message saying that Google doesn't allow it anymore etc etc.
Any particular reason that starting Tasker doesn't seem to prompt Superuser access? I get the prompt for other programs but not Tasker.
Thank you for any help

Not sure about tasker not seeing root, but there is an add-on for tasker in the market to allow GPS control. I can't recall the name of it at the moment, but a search should find it...

Thank you, I'll certainly keep that in mind for at least a (hopefully) temporary fix.
Taker won't control GPS on some ROMs. Previously I ran unnamed and it couldn't turn on our off the GPS without me helping. However I've been playing with MIUI this week and tasker can control GPS on it .

Hey everybody, I think that this question is going to pop up more often since yesterday (April 17) Time Warner Cable released updated version of their app that now allows you to stream live tv on your ICS device.
The problem is that they implemented a mechanism that checks if your tablet/phone was rooted, if it was they show you message that the app is not supported on rooted devices.
Is there a way to work around this? I would not mind unrooting my TP to test this app. How can this be achieved?
Thanks for any tips!

Same problem with Sky which I would like to use.
Try to set the root permissions to adb only in the settings. Its probably on adb and apps. Let me kw if it works cuz I might get the app then.

Try the app permissions denied in the market and see if you can disable the root check.

There is a patched TWC app that doesn't check for root. I found it in the Galaxy Nexus forums and have the apk for phone. Let me find the post and I'll put it up for everyone.

I changed the name of superuser.apk. Turned debugging off.
App starts fine. Can look through the guide and everything but black screen when I try to watch Live TV. No matter which channel I change to. I haven't seen this issue in any other thread yet. I just installed cm9 for first time, so its fresh.
edit: of course I found the answer a minute later after this post, after i searched for an hour. of course. i had to change test-keys to something else
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29685497&postcount=419
1) Use Root Explorer or a similar file explorer app to rename Superuser.apk to Su.apk
2) Open build.prop (/system/build.prop) with Root Explorer or a similar file explorer app and rename test-keys to dEris-badass (lol)
3) I left USB Debugging enabled (some need to disable this)
4) Log in and watch some TV =]

Hi,
Basically, I need tasker to do the following but have no idea on how to go about doing it.
1) Turn off Juice Defender (the whole service) at a specified time, turn the phones Wifi, 3G / 4G, bluetooth etc and set it into flight mode.
2) At a specified time OR after an alarm goes off (no matter what time), turn off flight mode and turn on Juice Defender.
Can anyone please help me get this working in Tasker or any other app for that matter.
Thank you.
If you are rooted, tasker can kill app using root. You can then launch as part of an alarm set up through tasker.

I find that you have to use some of the Tasker step throughs to get fully familiar with it and to get it to perform your fully customized tasks.
Have you tried http://tasker.wikidot.com/ as the profiles and step throughs are really very useful. I build a few of the examples for practice then try my own after that.

Hi all
Create a cwm back up of your phone before trying this.
Found a app that actually hides root so that you can use google movie rentals/ skygo restrictions and any app that checks that you are rooted.
It temporary unroots the phone and can restore su after you finish film etc...
Make sure to Backup Root in the app.
This hasn't been tested yet on my wildfire as wife at work with it but will test soon as she home.
It does say works on some phones. If you want to test it before I do search google play for ''OTA RootKeeper'' Its the first app that actually does what it says for me well on my sg2.
Note if something goes wrong Su you can restore in app, failing that reflash a backup rom

Yeh I downloaded root checker then ran the backup but it did nothing I still had root.

i tried this when skygo 1st came to android and it doesnt work.i found an alternative (hideroot) but it disabled my root altogether and the enable root option never gave me my root back, even the dev of the app was baffled and eventually stopped replying to my needs to regain root.it did however allow me to have a nandroid for my skygo needs.
something i never tested but its been mentioned over in the skygo thread is the supersu app which allows you to hide root also i believe but i never got round to testing it.
Thanks will try it
Can you keep us posted with the results about SuperSU?
EDIT:
I have found this app is used on the Xperia range instead of standard SU app, any ideas why?

Hello everyone i Just found out the TF201 is compatible with Brighthouse networks Live TV app, after downloading and installing it i have hit two issues, the first being it realized adb was on, simple I turned it off, second it popped up again saying the device was rooted and it would not run on it, so How if possible can i hide root?, the built in temp unroot in superuser didn't work

you can always try to use temp unroot via voodoo root keeper
j/w hwo does it check if you have root or not? does it ask? if it does, can't you simply decline the root access?
Wrong thread!
It dosent ask, it just has a pop up that says "Your device is rooted and unusable for watching Live TV" it said the same thing about ADB but that was an easy fix
as i said you can just do a temp-unroot using voodoo root keeper
did you try that?
Voodoo doesnt work either, I tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling it after temp unrooting

There's a way to run google play movie rental on a rooted device by making some changes. I can't remember exactly what the solution is but I will do some google searches and find it, and I'm thinking the same solution or something very similar would work on your brighthouse app.

My job gives me a Samsing S4 from Verizon that is filled with bloat. I have to manually go in and disable everything which takes about 4 hours or so. I am looking for an app that can do it for me but it needs to be a well known app not something that somebody just posts an apk. Any auggestions?
We are not allowed to root the phones. It would be great if I could put a googe play edition or developer edition rom on it or something but I don't think that's possible.

You will have to root your phone for all this. You can only flash stock rom on the device without rooting it.
What bloat wares are we talking about specifically? Do you mean all the S-voice/S-Note/Air gestures??
They can be activated and deactivated from the pull down menu. Other things need to be disabled manually!There is no work around this without root. You can try the widgets on the screen that allow you to disable wi-fi and bluetooth but its nothing new than what samsung offers from the pulldown menu

You can't remove system apps without root. Clean Master has a function to remove bloat if you're rooted. I don't know if this is changed to disabling if you're not rooted, because my devices are rooted. I seem to remember a previous version of Clean Master had something like that. It merely took you to the app info scree, one at a time, but at least it did it sequentially instead of you having to hunt for each one on your own. Maybe that still exists.
Since Android 4.1, many bloatware type apps can just be disabled via the the built-in Application Manager in your Settings app. Disabling it will hide it from the launcher and make it so it does not run, essentially doing the same thing as uninstalling it. It is better this way because some phones will not properly update if something is modified or removed from the /system partition. Also worth noting in regards to this as it is a popular misconception, removing these unwanted apps will not provide you with more usable storage as they are contained in /system/app and the apps you install via the Play Store or 3rd party sources will only install to /data/app unless rooted and moved.
That being said, TowelRoot is a newer rooting method for many newer phones running 4.4+(especially Galaxies like the S4 and Note 3). This root method is done via an app on the phone and only takes seconds and does not trip Knox. You could root, freeze what you needed and then unroot without anyone the wiser, though, of course, this is done at your own risk - like any other mod.

Yes you can disable them but it takes about 4 hours to do it each time. There's a lot of them. About 95% of stuff needs to be disabled.
Towelroot looks great unfortunately I am not able to root the phone. They don't use knox. I can do anything but root the phone really. I really just want vanilla android I'm a bit sick of touchwiz. I'd love to just flash to the developer edition or something.

The S4s bootloader is locked so basically not a lot to choose from. And as others have mentioned you need root to gain access to remove bloatware. Sadly samsung phones on VZW are filled with it as well as many other phones, it's not limited to just samsung.
And navigator may be better than Google maps but maps is free and having been a former user of both NFL mobile (when it was free) and navigator I'm happy I got rid of both of them
