TWC just released the app that will allow you to stream the live TV shows from your phone. I got really excited to watch Game of Thrones.
But when I try to launch the app. It says it does not run on rooted device. WTF?
What is the difference between rooted or unrooted device when it comes to TWC app?
I tried to unroot with root keeper to run the app with no luck.
Any suggestions or workaround to get it working?
Update: Thanks to b00sted now rooted users can benefit from Time Warner App
Here is the link to fix : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24975697

I can confirm this on Epic 4g touch (rooted)
Same issue here. Rooted Hp touchpad running 4.0.4. When you launch TWC app and choose Live TV it will state "TWC tv is not supported on rooted devices"

I'm sure it will be in time. Timewarner lol..
confirmed here on Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Hope someone fixes this. You also have to have USB Debugging disabled, AND be on your home network (which means Road runner is also a requirement).
EDIT...
Turns out the TWC app only checks for the presence of /system/app/superuser.apk. A quick rename of superuser.apk and it works fine. A simple script can be written for this to toggle it.

Ah ok, cool.
If you use the app 'GScript' which is in the market, you can write a script and add a widget to your homescreen to execute the rename and to reverse it. Makes it real easy to go ba ck and forth.
sweet!!! Working on my rooted att note, anyone have any workarounds that will allow me to view when not connected to home wifi network?

just found this post as well, was looking for this over on the nexus forums.. I have the decompiled apk if someone can tell me what to nix I can recompile and give it a try for us.. Here is the decompiled apk. u will see in the smali files it talks about if root and if adb is enabled.. I just dont know what to really nix out of there withough completely breaking it.. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22063477/com.TWCableTV-1.zip
Anyone else seeing ever so slight lag? Kinda like a jitter.. I'm wondering if this is due to rom/kernal or if it's just cause it's the first version.
Does this help?
:~/Downloads/com.TWCableTV-1$ grep -H -r "Superuser" ~Downloads/com.TWCableTV-1
~/Downloads/com.TWCableTV-1/smali/com/TWCableTV/androidphone/a/a.smali: const-string v1, "/system/app/Superuser.apk"
Thank you everyone for clarification. Some Driod-life members reported that clearing cache helps too. I have not tried it myself yet but it is worth a shot.
Quote from D-L: We have seen a user submitted tip that if you wipe the application’s data in your app settings menu, that could clear up the issue. It’s worth a shot, so give it a try if you have been having this trouble and let us know if it works or not.

I wonder if they've patched this already. I just tried, and it didn't work. Rebooted. Confirmed renamed APK. Cleared data in manage-apps. Still no go.
The only ICS devices I have are third-party (and rooted) ROMs.
Is there a problem if I have the superuser.apk file name?
renamed com.TWCableTV-1/smali/com/TWCableTV/androidphone/a/a.smali: const-string v1, "/system/app/Superuser.apk" to ****TimeWarner.apk and then renamed C:\Android\apktool\com.TWCableTV-1\smali\com\TWCableTV\androidphone\Login\Activities\SplashScreenActivity.smali an TWCHomeActivity.smali had root set to true so change the true to false and no luck.. I am shooting blind here so any help would be great
Looking forward to a fix.

Just checked it out again and still no dice on my Australian Sony Tablet S running 3.2.1r2. Service appears to start, but gestures don't register, either in multitouch or singletouch modes. No response at all when trying gestures, and the gestures are just recognised by the focussed applications (i.e. browser just scrolls instead of registering as a gesture).

Not sure if this is correct but your sig says stock 3.2.1, which I think is not rooted, and the app says it needs root. Mine isn't rooted so I can't use it either.
Now I'm lost . Anyone tried it on rooted device?
It definitely requires root.

Sorry. My sig is miles out of date.
Mine is rooted and checking Superuser confirms that Gesture Control is granted access. The toast notification for su access shows on service start and no other errors show, but gestures do not register.

Okay, I got annoyed enough with handcent not showing my contact pics so I googled how to fix it and found this from the rezound forums. It's way easier than it might seem.
Download the files from the link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24187839&postcount=6 and extract them. Now follow the instructions on the link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24242762&postcount=22
I used terminal emulator on my phone for the commands, and copied the long string of text from the browser and pasted it into terminal emulator after running "cd system" then "cd xbin" then "chmod 777 sqlite3" (obviously with no quotes anywhere)
Hopefully this is helpful, I haven't seen anyone post something like this yet. And I take no credit, except for my awesome googling skills
Edit: Sorry, I forgot to mention this is on the new ICS leak.

Bummer. I used root explorer to copy the two files, then ran all the commands and it worked first try. Maybe change permissions using root explorer? I changed mine to make sure they matched the other files in the respective folders.
Yea, updating every contact manually would be a pain though...

My bad, I had no idea since it wasn't an app or theme at all, and it was just taken from another forum. Either way, thanks for cleaning things up.

I assume so. I have the exact same sound problem. I hope this fixes ut but I am not exactly sure how to proceed. Should I use Root Explorer for this? Let us know what you did exactly and your results once you try it.
Es to unzip then used root explorer from rom toolbox to move them. There are more than 2 files in the original folder. I just left them there. Replaced the 2 that came in the zip file. Changed permissions only worked from root explorer in rom toolbox. So far so good. It would only happens sometimes. But when it did I would have to restart my phone. Then it would be fine. But sometimes was right back again right away. What a pain. Hope it never comes back.

Op says root required. There is no current root for Kitkat. How are we supposed to use the apk without root access?

Ummmm........There is Root for KitKat via Jackie's kernel. Search for it. I have seen it posted in a couple of places on this forum. I used it to root my C6802 last week.
Yea. Im rooted.

I found out how to root from YouTube, of all places. Thought I would find it here first.

If you're not rooted, and running stock KK, just go to your "About Phone" option in settings. Check for system updates, download, install, and you're done. lol

Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687549. Watch the included video. Screen image for you tube video says 4.2.2 I think. 9which is wrong of course) but it is actually 4.4.2 KitKat firmware .681.

Yes. We are linking to the same video guide (see previous reply). So, yes that is it. Must have latest version of Flashtool installed.

I was happy for a moment. At first this fix seemed to work, but the sound problems returned after 10 minutes of performing the procedure. Back to square one. Frustrating. :crying: Also of note: Interesting that the sound problem seems to be related to the touchscreen somehow. For example if I visually see that my phone is ringing but there is no sound coming from the normal loud speaker, if I touch the screen, the sound will begin to come from the regular loud speaker as it should. Very strange. Need a solution to this problem soon.

Im assuming this is a fix for the sound through the earpiece problem? Im going to do this blindly hoping it fixes my problem. My text message notifications and sound for games plays through my earpiece instead of the main speaker. Kind of annoying when you can't hear if someone is calling or texting you cause it plays through the earpiece and you can hardly hear a thing.

No problem Happy to help. Remember that your Bootloader must be unlocked for this method to work. In the video Jackie stated the opposite if I remember correctly.

Yes, Bootloader was unlocked and flashing the FTF& Jackie's custom rom was successful.
All I need to do now is increase the speaker volume.
@dragonclif. Try removing updates to chrome. Or remove chrome all together. Heard that could be the problem, an update to chrome caused this? Couldn't hurt to try at this point.
