I don't think so. You need to root it again, if your device is unrooted currently.

No, root access is global. You can however use Superuser or SuperSU to restrict root access to only one app, if you want.
Out of curiosity, why do you wish to unroot, yet retain root access with one specific app? What exactly are you trying to do? If you want to unroot because a certain application (such as banking/payment software) won't work if your phone is rooted, you can install the Xposed framework and use RootCloak on a per-app basis to trick the app into thinking you're not rooted.
Thanks you,:good:

This is good idea,
But i supposed (in Linux) if an App has Root access (777 permission) and Root Owner, the App is able to do any thing!
so what is wrong? what is different if an app has (root permission/root owner) or not?

Is there a way to install an apk as a system app? I want to 'unroot' a device but still run an app that requires root access. I'm unsure of how this can be done, any advise would be very much appreciated!
Thanks
I know that the Z4 root app has an option for temp root functions which goes back to an unrooted state once you reboot.
My guess is that you can run that, place your apk in the appropriate system folder, install the apk from there & then reboot.
But again I'm not to sure if temp root functions work on our G-Tabs & if it does if it's as simple as I explained. Worth a try I guess.
Again I'm assuming that your not already in a permanent root state. If so then you'll have to unroot completely first & then try what I mentioned above.
Unless someone has an easier method?
convert user apps to system apps

Titanium Backup Pro (paid version 3.8.1 and higher) has a function that allows one to convert user apps-->system apps (as well as system app-->user app ... though this sometimes causes initial FCs, which generally disappear with reboot).
Not sure if the effect will remain after unrooting.
Just to clear up a bit, not because an app its on /system it will have root access. If you want to run an app that needs root, you need root, thats it. You cant unroot and use the app after that.
So, no you cant do that. Its 2 different things installing an app on /system than having root for an app.

So then how do proprietary apps like Sprint Nascar (as an example) run on an unrooted phone?
Why would Sprint Nascar need root permision?

It probably doesn't or it might I have no idea. The op never pointed out which apps he wants to use.
However & this is a big however, as I have no idea which apps require root access, one has to assume that any of the preinstalled apps that come on our G-Tabs do in fact need root access, yet they can run on an unrooted device. Again I could be wrong.
That being said, how does one go about determining which apps require root access?
Thanks for the replies guys. The issue is supporting proxy servers on unrooted devices. There are several proxy apps that require root access as well as a kernel that supports proxy. If the proxy app were installed as a system app, would this have enough rights to access the kernel as required? I don't know enough about this but was led to believe this might work if it was running as system. Same for apps that use CIFS, like mount manager. I guess I'll give it a try and see what happens...!
Like I said, being installed on System doesnt have anything to do with having root or not.
Im 95% sure about what I am saying.
edit: I confirmed it..so 100% sure, if the app needs root, you will need root no matter where the app is installed.
Hi ppl I am running custom Rom unlocked bootloader but all apps that require root are telling me root required anyone know why
from my 3d all warmed up
You need to have superuser and busybox installed. You can get both off the market.

A common misconceptions it that unlocked=rooted. This is not true. Once the device is unlocked, root access has to be properly configured. The majority of custom ROMs properly configure root access but I'm sure some don't or there are bugs/issues with a few.
Personally, I prefer to troubleshoot root permissions issues at the lower level where I can view the specific permissions.
The easiest way in my opinion, biased of course, is to use my application, Root Checker Pro. I provide a free link to it off XDA (99 cents in the Market...).
If you could post the results up, it'll show which files have the correct/incorrect permissons and allow us to more specifically resolve the issue.
Some general approaches would be to reload Superuser apk from the market, uninstall/reinstall Superuser apk from Android/Market or install the Superuser apk file through a .zip from the custom recovery.
These method should do a mass reset/reconfigure on the permissions and resolve the majority of issues.
Hope that helps!

Very thanks for answer, but the link is a .zip and I want an apk or can I put it (.zip) with default recovery and not have problems?
Extract that zip, apk is in there
Tapped from my RazR

Look man, superuser is ROOT. Either your phone is rooted or it is not. A rooted phone can run apps that require it like ClockworkMod ROM Manager, Titanium Backup, Greenify, Wireless Tether for Root Users, File managers like Root Explorer or ES File Manager if you want to be able to access the system areas of the phone. So far as I know, there is no "SuperUser of ClockworkMod". If your phone is rooted (You will see superuser or "Super SU" in your app drawer. Here is a free app from the playstore that will tell you if your phone is rooted or not.
Root Checker
Install it and use it to see if your phone is still rooted or if you lost root somehow. If you still have root, then when CWM starts, it will ask for root privileges and the first time it asks, you will be prompted to grant it, once, for a certain time period, or forever. For stuff like CWM, root file managers, and Titanium Backup, you always grant root forever and you will not be asked again until the app updates and requires you to okay granting root privileged or not, then you grand forever and leave it alone.
If you find out you do not have root or lost your root, then you have to root the phone and the procedure is different for different devices, versions, and ROMS. For that kind of help, you have to search for rooting <your particular device and android version number>

Thanks for answer, well I thinked that too, because my phone cant use root privileges if the aplication superuser isnt installed, however with te superuser aplication my phone have root privileges but with the previous version, with actual version my phond dont have root, even the people in google play say the same "with the new version my phone losed root" and similars comments...
maybe the root version (clockWorkMod) work in this way and need the app for work.
maybe this one??? http://d-h.st/l91

Solved it? No problem
Well, i want to know that, if it is rooted or not.
I used root checker but it says "Root is nor properly installed" ... it means that is not rooted?
Than kyou!

It is not rooted. Any app that requires root privilege will not be functional.
That being said, there are known methods to "root" Remix OS. A "systemless" method is to be found elsewhere in this forum.

Android apps can't get root access without modifying the RemixOS installation, however there is a command prompt with root access that you can enable in the experimental options part of the settings app. Once enabled you can press Alt+F1 to get to it, and Alt+F7 to get back to the desktop. It's not as useful as full root access, but it works if you just want to remove system files or disable some apps that you can't disable using the settings app.

There are a couple options on the forum that are available already pre-rooted, and there are also threads with instructions on how to root it yourself. :good:
Thank you guys for the answers!
i want it to not be rooted.
So if it is not rooted from the begining, then better.
I've been struggling for a while now with getting a Romanian internet banking app (eToken BCR) to work on my Samsung Galaxy J3(2016) running RR-OS 5.8.5 // Magisk 17.1
I tried using several apps to hide the root and to uninstall magisk / remove root.
Basically the app tells me it can't run on rotted devices. I can't use it with or without root since custom rom :/
I guess there is one file containing the root check but the problem is I'm not even close to understanding coding and how the app works, I have no programing knowledge.
Can someone help me bypass this check? Or recreate the app without the root warning?
Thank you.

Magisk mask can be used to hide root
Alternatively, Xposed module "Root cloak" may also be helpful
Try one of these

Instead of installing the app on phone
Try installing on parallel space, 2 accounts, Dual space etc.
These all apps are available on play store
Do tell me if it works

With latest Magisk (20.0) eToken doesn't detect root if you use Magisk Hide
