[Q] Running a Unroot required app on rooted device - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I recently moved and had the oppertunity to view my TV-channels on my phone. However it is required to have a device who is not rooted, and I don't really want to unroot just to view tv on my phone.
Does anyone know of a small program, script etc. which can tell the app that the phone is unrooted, even though it is rooted?
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, running stock unlocked and unrooted JB yakju 4.2.2.
Thanks in advance!

I found out that I can temporarely disable root in the SuperSU app, but it would be nice to have something that permantly knew that this app should be runned without root.

From the SuperSU app. I don't think it is available in SuperUser app.

@AAbounegm
Temp unroot is available in Superuser 3.1.x (this may vary because Superuser versions vary from device to device)
@Juhler @rosentorp
Also you can use RootCloak Xposed Module to hide root only only specific apps.
The advantage is you can use root with other apps and only hide root from tv app.
Get it here (Android ICS and +)

You may be right. I have SuperUser built-in with CM, and I don't have this features. In fact, I don't have many of features and I can't even know what version I have. :good:

Update Superuser from Play Store if update is available for your device.
Also if update is not available, Play Store shows current version of installed Superuser.
Press Thanks if helped. :good::good::good:

Root & Unroot without flashing.

Hi
This is about the safest way in my opinion to root the grand 2, and unrooting in case of upcoming updates, without the need to flash or use Odin.
All that you need is to use the towelroot.
And after that download the SuperSU app, you can find it in the Play market.
And if you want to remove the root just go to the SuperSU app and there is a full unroot option in its settings.
And i had tried it and it worked.

Update and remove root?

Is it possible to update from KK to Lollipop and then remove root? Will it cause any issues?
I need to use an application (GFE) which doesn't work with root access. Although there is a workaround in KK it does not work with Lollipop if the device is rooted. Can I just update to some ROM and then remove root?
Thanks.
On kk there's a xposed app that hides root the name,escapes me atm

Yep, using that in KK, but want to move to Lollipop which doesn't work with xposed.
I'm guessing go into supersu > settings then hit full unroot

Change default Android market

Hi.
How set Google play as default market instead mi store without root?
I installed play store and I don't like root my phone.
Tnx
You can't while the MI store is in there.
Either root and freeze or install a custom rom.
Hopefully now a developer rom is out a global one will follow which will be without Chinese bloat.

Can I root phone and remove mi store then unroot phone?
Is there a way to unroot the phone?
Mot sure on unroot. But you cannot remove it only freeze it. It's baked into miui so if you remove the phone will brick itself. So definitely not advised.

Check the miui website forums and also the xiaomi forums on their site.
They seem to be more active than here.

Most super user tools can unroot but the best by far is SuperSU. It has the option to do a full unroot and it would work for you I think.
Rooting is quite a chore really. I did it by installing kingroot app and then using terminal emulator to install SuperSU app and binaries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euK91peMIEI instructions are on this video. I do suggest kingroot app to the one in the video links.

In video miui ROM of phone was global, but until now global ROM not available in official site!!!
http://en.miui.com/download-298.html
Yes, that ROM is not official. But this process works on the official ROM too. But I had no success on any ROM higher than 7.1.1. There is an official ROM bearing that version number, I'm running on it now. I don't know if you can get an ota update while rooted, I haven't tried it. Also I'm not sure of the outcome of ota updating your phone after unrooting, though I have read that many users have done it and had no complaints. I'm not going to update my ROM because I'm interested in keeping root. But you could try it. SuperSU even has a possibility to stay intact through an ota update. But I've never tried it.

On CM roms, you have to activate root permitions through developer options (tap the build number 7 times to activate developer options).

That should be it, just enable root on apps and adb. and check some apps that require root, like greenify and see if it works, if it doesn`t, maybe you need to root again. I personally never experienced root problems on CM, also you don`t need SuperSu on CM roms.

Android Pay don't work on stock

Hello.
I want to use Android Pay, but app showing me error, that Google cannot confirm software on my Z2.
I have stock ROM (prerooted MM, 23.5.A.1.291). I did full unroot in SuperSU settings but it still shows me that message.
My bootloader is blocked (once it was unlocked, but I did DRM keys backup and all fully working).
I don't want to flash stock with Flashtool (I will lose recovery).
What to do now?
Thanks for help.

You MUST HAVE UNTOUCHED SYSTEM (incl. RECOVERY) in order to use Android Pay.

Okay, I understand. So I must flash stock via FlashTool, and it will work?

If i good think, you cant have system-less root without change kernel. if you change the kernel, you cant have Android Pay. If you don't have root, you can't have Magiska... etc...
Ok, I understand, thats bad news for me...

Is it known what exactly does Android Pay check? I have stock 6.0.1 and Pay is working fine for me. Now I'd like to flash LDAC mod to get better sound with wireless headphones (https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...-xperia-x-ldac-ahc-port-enjoy-hi-res-t3370105). This mod apparently just adds LDAC library into /system/lib and appends few parameters to /system/build.prop. Any opinions whether it could break Android Pay? Thx!
