Does anyone have any thoughts on how to take the root checker out of the time warner cable TV app. Admittedly I haven't researched as much as I could. I will continue to. Just thought I would get some advice if there is any to be had. I would like to use this on my note and note 10.1.

check post #50 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604411&page=5 this is were they discuss how they got it working if you want to try some mods yourself.
I haven't time to decompile the app yet. There seems to be some problems with different phones/os. Lots of info to comb through. That's kinda why I started a q thread here to see if anyone has worked on disabling a root check in an app. Specifically on our phone. I only have an hour or so a day right now to even look into it. I appreciate your thorough reading of said thread. I'll get to it eventually. I've just never tried to disable a root check before.

It will take you less than 2 mins to get this working on a rooted Note.It is so simple it's silly.I couldn't rename superuser with ESF file explorer for some reason so I used the root browser in Rom Toolbox,just an F.Y.I. if you were going to try to use ESF.

When did you try this, because I tried that yesterday and it didn't work for me. I'm on Paranoid ROM.
I did it all three ways with no luck. But using it by changing my phone isn't the point. I want to change the app. That's why I ask about any insight into removing the root checker.

Have you tried OTA Rootkeeper? I don't know if it works for the app you're talking about, but it worked for the Flixster app for me.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper&hl=en
It allows you to save a back-up of your root, and to temporarily disable it.
If you are on Jelly Bean you need to modify your build.prop. The setting you need to modify is the:
"ro.build.tags=test-keys"
to look like
"ro.build.tags="
along with renaming the superuser.apk. So the steps to get it working in JB are:
1. Uninstall the TWCTV App
2. modify the build.prop by removing the above setting
3. rename the Superuser.apk located in /system/app using ES File Explorer
4. Reboot your phone/tablet
5. Re-install the TWC TV App from the Play store and you will be good to go.
I've used this method several times works for me every time I flash a new rom.
Open root explorer
Navigate to /system/apps
Mount r/w
Delete superuser.apk
Go to settings
Scroll to applications
Find TWC tv
Clear data
Open TWC tv
Log in
Click live tv, to make sure it worked
Reboot phone
Open play store
Download superuser or superSU (your Preference)
Done.
Twc tv only checks for superuser once, so after you get the app set up, You can reinstall superuser and you will be good to go.

Works fine on my ICS ROM. Try just dropping the APK in your /data/app. It looks a lot better and renders faster than dolphin and the stock browser.
I must be doing something wrong, when I tried to drop it in using ES File Explorer, it tells me that the copy failed.

I'm running stock Gingerbread; just got my Rezound a week ago and haven't got around to trying out an ICS ROM. Dropping the APK into /data/app doesn't appear to work, but I didn't really expect it to work so easily
I don't have any idea if it's possible to hack this to work with GB, but that would be pretty sweet.

If you're on Nils' ICS ROM you should just be able to install it.
Yep still on Nils ICS ROM, but its not letting me install it, has to do with security settings, its weird, he already said he took out the need to allow third party apps. I am going to play with it some more and see what I can figure out before I ask him.

I just rooted my prime a couple days ago, but I haven't done too much with anything needing root just yet. Aside from Titanium Back-Up, what have you guys done with root on your TFP? Is there any bloatware I should be looking to freeze or get rid of? I imagine once the bootloader unlock comes there will be more to do with our beloved Primes. Thanks for the help guys!
1. FOR SURE.. get Voodoo Rootkeeper and backup your root.. right now!
2. AdAway to block ****ty app ads
3. Buy Root Explorer.. THE file manager to own, period
4. do my Ad Hoc wifi fix IF having tether matters to you
Use titanium backup to freeze (not uninstall!!!) all the bloatware apps.
Freeze Bloat w/ TiBackup
Add hosts file with Root Explorer
install V6 supercharger script with Script Manager
Freeze app start processes with Autostarts
Browse File structure w/ Root Explorer
Add Ad Hoc support with Root Explorer
Check out .db (data base files) w/ SQLite Editor
Great thread for noobs like me..
As i really dont know why i would want to root my Prime..
I have unlocked the boot loader on my htc sensation but thats for obvious reasons.
Going to watch this closely to see what you guys do once rooted.
Thanks
All right, I have all ready installed Voodoo to keep my root after the 2/8/12 update. Worked like a charm. I just installed AdAway, and have not gotten a chance to use it yet, but hopefully that works well too. I use Connectify on my computer to open up a wifi connection as I'm in a college dorm and routers aren't allowed, so I'm not too worried about the wifi ad-hoc fix. If I didn't have connectify, I would've been begging for a fix somehow.
@Swiftk: What programs did you freeze/remove with Titanium? I'd assume I should freeze most all of it since I don't use it too much. Also, can you delve into the "Freeze app autostarts"? Which apps?
I'm also curious about the V6 Supercharger, what exactly does the script do for my Prime, and is it really necessary?

Not even necessary. No one really cares that you returned it.
** But definitely root and preserve your root with OTA Rootkeeper.
First thing was using the rootkeeper. I then maxed the processor at 1.6 with atp tweak. Followed by allowing ad hoc connections. You might want to try installing Linux Ubuntu. Its not very productive but its nice to test out and show off. You might need it for something as well.
1.rootkeeper- obvious reasons
2.titanium backup- complete batch backup of system apps
3.adaway- banish apps back to the nether
Why are we freezing bloat instead of uninstalling? Must have missed that thread.

If you delete it you can no longer get updates to work from Asus. It is easier just to freeze it in my opinion.

You didn't ICS yet, my guess is? Apparently, new version can also "disable" and "enable", which if my guess is correctly, what rooted users could have done since Gingerbread.
Until Unlock, personally, I'm staying clear from rooting. I want to completely retheme my Prime (bootscreen, ringtone, etc)...
What is it? Okay, well kenjesse put it best with this description : " Pdroid is an app that lets you modify permissions app by app with out breaking them. You also have the option of "spoofing" the permissions by sending randomly generate data rather than your phones actual sim, meid, phone #, etc.
As the app does not need to run constantly in the back ground it has virtually no impact on battery.
To check out the original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19570074
On the next page of this thread I have posted the patch zip necessary to install the pdroid app on CM7 for DX2 only!!! I will make patch zips for other roms upon request but it can be done easily by following kenjesse's instructions below. After flashing the zip just download and install pdroid from the play store ......viola! Thanks for stopping by and happy flashing!
Looks like a pretty cool program. I've read other post that reference making changes like this, always wondered how. Wonder if this is one way, I'd assume there are other ways too.

Just got done installing this and it seems to be working great. I'm running CM7 with no special tweaks other than Moon Shadows wifi fix, following instructions from op here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056
this is what I did:
1. DL Pdroid Patcher zip to PC (Win7 in my case)
2. Extract Pdroid Patcher exe file and run
3. Browse to update-cm-7.2.0.-RCO-daytona-KANG-public-beta1.zip (cm7 ROM) and select.
4. Click "Patch" (program takes about 2 minutes to create required patch zip file as well as restore file if you choose to uninstall Pdroid later)
5. copy the 2 created zip files (PDroid-v1.31-update-cm-7.2.0-RCO-daytona-KANG-public-beta1.zip & PDroid-RESTORE-update-cm-7.2.0-RCO-daytona-KANG-public-beta1.zip) to your external SD Card
6. Boot in our BSR BACKUP...BACKUP DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!!
7. Flash the PDroid zip file
8. I did not wipe anything as it is not stated to do so in the OP install instruction... I did flash cm7 reRecovery before I rebooted just to be safe.
9. Reboot your phone, go to market and install Pdroid.
I tested by removing several permissions for my Fox News app which doing thru cm7 causes the app to break, using PDroid the app still worked. Not sure how to test beyond that.
I did notice that the reboot stayed on the cm7 animation for a while before the phone came back up as if a dalvik wipe had been done.
Hope this helps and if you break it it's your fault not mine and remember...BACKUP

He probably should update the op title. Pdroid is an app that lets you modify permissions app by app with out breaking them. You also have the option of "spoofing" the permissions by sending randomly generate data rather than your phones actual sim, meid, phone #, etc.
As the app dose not need to run constantly in the back ground it has virtually no impact on battery.

Beautifully put. Hey, I would update the op title but it's not letting me from the mobile app. I will later when I'm on my laptop.
Hey, how did you spoof the permissions? Don't see that option within the settings. I just see symbols without descriptions (gear, bar graph, check, ect...)?
Just to add, I don't know if it's just in my head or not but I feel like my phone is moving way faster After changing all the permissions that I did.
........and last, I'm going to post the patch zip file for cm7 dx2 when I get home so all anyone needs to do is flash it and download pdroid from the market (Google play (stupid name)....whatever). Okay all done.

So please help me clarify what setting should I set the apps to? Also do I need to do them one at a time or can I do it by batch?
Okay, what I have been doing is blocking ALL permissions for any given app and then trying to run it. I then look for any error messages and go back and enable only those specific permissions to allow the app to function properly. You'll get a system once you use it a bit. .....and unfortunately there is no batch function. It is a very cool app though once you play with it and definitely enable the function where you can see it blocking and granting permissions. It's pretty cool!

Flashing The update zip makes the required changes for the app Pdroid that you get from the market to run properly with the cm7 ROM. IT WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU ARE ON CM7. If you later uninstall Pdroid you flash the restore zip to remove the changes made by the update zip.
I believe it is done this way so the app can work without root permission and therefore doesn't have to run in the background....I could be wrong though and as with any mod you should go to the linked thread above and research it for yourself.

With the help of another xda member. (Halfcalf) we now have hulu plus for our device. All you need to do is place the extracted files from the zip I will upload into your titanium backup folder then restore the app AND data. All three files must be in the titanium backup folder. Not just one big folder. It took me a few tries but it works. I'll answer questions as your post.
I also noticed that after the first time it said unsupported..i just went back to titanium and restored the data again..if you have any buffering problems..that on hulu not the app.
Im currently watching hulu on my tab as we speak

Open file browser and go to /data/data/com.hulu.plus/shared_prefs and open cSPrefs.xml
Now in that file there's a huge string named lastTimeOut.
In that string look for ns_ap_device= and replace what's in between that and &. In my case I'm running cm9 so I have ns_ap_device=p5& where p5 is the devices name. Change that to a supported devices name, I used Xooms device name Stingray so the end result will be ns_ap_device=Stingray&
Just replace that part without touching anything else. Save the file and reopen hulu. It should work now.
That will work even it the app gets updated and its an easy fix if you clear data or something.
Let me know how it works for y'all and remember to hit thanks if it helped you
enjoy your hulu.

OK this is good news as you don't need to install an app from other sources. It can be downloaded straight from the market and it works on ANY device.

I've installed the app from Play, ran it, and even browsed the media... the /data/data/com.hulu.plus/shared_prefs directory doesn't exist.
cSPrefs.xml

When I open cSprefs.xml it is only a couple of lines long and doesn't have the above string of text in it anywhere. I am using Root Explorer to open and edit the file, would that be the problem?
When i download the zip it says the directory isnt found. I cant even find the zip once i download it.

So I decided to try this again. I understand the directions now i do the following.
Use root explorer and open cSPrefs.xml
I find the text string mentioned above and change "p5wifi" to"Stingray" then save and close the file.
I then reopen the file and confirm the change. Then when I open hulu plus I get the device not supported error. When i reopen cSPrefs.xml it has changed the device back to p5wifi.
Can anyone help me please.

Long story short, I was using Root Explorer to de-bloat my phone completely and I think I managed to deleted the Market.apk
Anybody by chance have it so I don't have to re-flash to stock because I finally got my phone to where I want except for this.
Mods feel free to move if this isn't the right place to post.
Here you go!

I don't suppose you'd have a file manager laying around. That's one thing I forgot.

You can install thru Root Explorer or just push apk to correct directory reboot and you should be good to go

Got a nice program called Android Commander and it let me install everything I needed.
However, I installed the Market that Nathan posted, and it's saying I have to pay for apps that I've already purchased? Anyway to go about that?
Edit: Just had to re-install as a system app.
Glad you got it figured out
