Apps that won't work with root work around! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've found a work around to bypass apps that won't work on rooted androids. I've tested Barclays Mobile Banking and SkyGo. Both work.
I need a list of other app that can't work with root so I can test further.
Please list any that you know of?
Thanks.

Hi can you tell the work around for skygo on s3 please
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

I've been told the SkyGo app checks for root when the video is about to play so I havent been able to test that far as I dont have login details for a Sky account. I assumed the app checked for root at start up.
Anyway, I've you could try this for me and let me know...
You need ES File Explorer. Open ES and go in to the options. Make sure 'Up to Root' and 'Root Explorer' are ticked. Navigate to '/system/xbin/' and long press on the 'su' file. Then select 'Hide' from the popup menu. Try streaming anything from SkyGo. Let me know if that works or not.
I've just tried another beta app called 'WorldPay' but it didn't work. So far the only app confirmed is Barclays Mobile Banking and Barclays Pingit.
Thanks.

Hi tried what u said didn't work for me

Bugger. Looks like it's just for Barclays app's then. Thanks for trying it for me.

That's ok there might be a fix soon by someone

[Q] looking for help

i would like to download and app from the market but it says not available in your country.
can someone help me by uploading it here or via pm or email. if its free of course i don't know if it is or not cause it wont let me get that far.
the app is called clipfish. its a german app i believe. id like to listen and watch to music and videos from another country and this app seems right up my Alley.
if anyone could help that'd be great!
I'm not sure but if copyright of this App is ON maybe you can't install it, anyway search for "MarketEnabler" application in the market. (I can't post link's because I'm new and I need at least 8 post's)
I personally never try it but i read a good stuff for it.
I found it when i search for a same problem with my app in the market, but my issue was that it was filtered for the developer device and i didn't check it.

Nope it didn't work. But I see market enabler being useful in the future. Thanks for that!

Just read the comments for that enabler app. Some people are saying that it doesn't work with market v3.2 which is what I'm using. So I'll wait and see if it gets updated.

I have tried both now and this one does work better but still it doesn't allow me to get the app.

Is the app perhaps available on other markets? I know AndroidPit and AndroidTapp are both making their own, there was another one too, they are springing up all over the place.
What app is it out of interest?
All the best,

I am rooted. It still doesn't work for me. I've tried to use it in as many variations as I can think.
I'm thinking since it is a German app for German music, videos, etc. That its all copyrighted specifically to Germany. Which makes me sad.

Time Warner Cable (TWC) app for ICS and LiveTV Root workaround

Found this thread on xda's "Droid RAZR General" forum that mentions conflicting results with a workaround for the TWC app preventing the livetv feature if you have root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604411
Just want to point out that on my AT&T NOTE (Seraphim First Flight ROM) renaming the /system/app/Superuser.apk then clearing the TWC app from memory was successful. Was then able to use the TWC Live TV feature.
A script to do this automatically is probably warranted but I'm sure some of the great minds here on xda will beat me to it !
Worked fine for me on DAGr8 alpha II, no moding needed
Just wonder if any way to get live TV working when off my home wifi network.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Anyone tried "hide my root" for this? I can't test it since I don't live in a TWC services area.
Cheers

renamed it to just "SU"... as long as its not "superuser" the app wont see it
So I downloaded it, went to install and it won't let me click install, I can only click cancel?!? Install doesn't highlight or respond. I've had this happen with random apps off the amazon appstore as well. Wtf?

I've had this happen a few times as well... Fix permissions for market and clear data after having to force close the app has always worked for me.

[Q] hide root/make app see phone unrooted

I have an app that refuses to operate fully, because it says that streaming is not allowed on rooted devices.
Is there a way that I can hide rooted status from this app, or make it unrooted as far as the app is concerned? I have not given it root permissions; it just seems to know that the app is rooted.
Thanks!
I've had good luck with OTA rootkeeper, I've been able to watch movies on Google play, that sort of thing.

You can to set your root management program to automatically deny root on request.

Tried OTARootkeepet and app still complained. Even functionally unrooted it seemed to know.

[Q] Using Sky Go on a rooted S3 with Cyanogen

I know there have been PLENTY of threads on xda trying to solve this and I've asked questions on the threads themselves and I'm yet to receive a reply. Can someone please give me a small guide (if possible ) how temp unroot.
1. Rootkeeper or any other app on the app store doesn't work when root is protected for me
2. SuperSU uninstall doesn't work for me
3. Flashing a zip to remove SuperSU and Busybox didn't work for me either.
There isn't a file with the name 'superuser.apk' that I could find.
Can anyone help with my predict? I really need to get this working before US Open

BTW I actually don't mind unrooting my phone for a few weeks as long as I don't lose data or backup. If there is a way to do this (which isn't considered a temp root) please let me know

I've just tried that and it didn't work. I don't know what the Sky Go app is detecting but I keep getting the same popup that Sky Go doesn't support rooted devices. But thanks for your help anyways mate

I also tried using Android 4.3 which seemingly doesn't have root access, so I don't know what the app is picking up.

Is this a country locked product? Also if it is free can you please provide a link to the application or maybe upload it, if I need to pay I will look into it

Sky Go is an application which allows people with a Sky subscription to watch TV on their devices, whether it be a tablet, phone or PC. I'm guessing u live outside the UK because Sky is quite popular here. As for the app, it is free, however you need an account to access it. Here's the link to it in the Play Store anyways.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skygo
I'm not sure if you can have a look at this without an account but let me know anyway buddy. :thumbup:

What kind of carrier do you have ?
I tried use PDAnet+ and foxfi, both of them doesn't work.
MIP error 64 ?
Haven't found a working hot spot without root sorry.
But it is possible to get root and not flip a knox flag.

You cannot.
You'll need to read the forum threads.
Everything you want to know is easy to find by just browsing/searching.
