I've got a corporate email app (Good for Enterprise) that my administrators have locked from running on rooted devices. Despite my protestations that rooting is not evil, they don't want me to run it unless I am stock. So.... is there any way to "hide" the root? Its incredibly annoying to be forced to choose between root and email access

I believe in Launcher Pro, you can hide Icons without uninstalling the app. May be an idea?
Yeah but the program itself is detecting if the device is rooted Was hoping there was some way to sandbox the app or something to make it not think it was on a rooted system. Thanks though!
They have an app that detects root access and reports back?
Couldn't you just deny it root access when it asks for permission?

Good idea! Then hide Superuser if need be.
That sucks but I can appreciate their decision not to compromise their security. Someone came on here asking how to physically remove his camera for work related purposes. What a bummer!
Run LP....u can hide apps from showing up in the app drawee

U get flash back to 4.1.26 using sbf... run the gladiroot before update... then update...
Let their app run... it wont be able to find or get root... They set you up...
Then you run the after root...
Bam... Root and email access ^_^

I assume it checks every time it's launched not just once.
I did deny it root but it still saw it. It does seem to check on every launch also.

I myself am looking for the same thing for the DX. GFE checks at launch or at anytime it wants. There is no way to tell when it will check. I do know if I remove root with Z4 app it works fine while leaving the SU icon in the apps. This tells me it looks for either permissions or something else.
I have offered $$ for a work around to JRummy but havent heard back from him
You can't "hide" root. It's not an app that's installed, and I doubt anything that's checking for root access is checking for just superuser.apk. "root" means you have the su binary in your /system directory, and this is likely what it's checking for. You can't "hide" it without breaking every app that needs root to function.
Surely someone must know what GFE checks????

It checks for root access no way to deny it, except for removing root. Their is a reason why GFE checks for root because in order for your phones to be secure you actually dont want root, if you lost your phone with root on them and secure corporate emails the attacker would only have to plugin in the phone to the computer and run ADB to get all your passwords

Circumventing security controls, could very well be grounds for termination, tread with caution.
Super user keeps granting set CPU permissions every Damn minute with the notification that pops up at the bottom of our screen, how the hell do I stop that?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I think that is because you have the notification checked. The one that displays your max and min frequencies on the notification bar.
Appreciate my help? Thank me
No, I figured it out, had to go into superuser and disable toast notifications
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I too am having this problem... Rather than disable notifications I would like to get to the bottom of why this is happening. Is there anyone who knows what's up?

It is part of the SuperUser application, go into it, disable notifications. Golden.

It only does it if you have profiles set up. I think it's every time it checks through that service.

Yea, it's part of the SuperUser app, but it's not supposed to be granting permissions every minute. There is an issue with SetCPU, IMO. SuperUser keeps granting it permissions, because setcpu keeps ASKING it for permissions. It's not supposed to happen like that. It should ask for permissions when you start the app, and that's it. I've used setcpu for quite a while now, and have never had it act like that. There is something up with it.

Very well said! Yes I have used it for over a year and never experienced this on any other phone/rom. But if it's not a wide problem maybe a fresh install will help. I also do not want to disable notifications because I want to know when apps are requesting SuperUser access... With that said as soon as my phone has a little more charge I will be reflashing from scratch

I have also noticed this as well and my solution was to disable superuse notifications. I am also using profiles in setcpu, setcpu never did this on my OG Evo.

That didnt resolve anything for me. my notifications was unticked in the first place. probably just wait for an update to fix hopefully!
I agree with FatChevy. Once a update comes out, there probably won't be a problem with it anymore. Did you try emailing the developer?
Still the same thing and this did not happen in the old version of SetCPU.
Just curious as to whether anyone else has gotten the following apps to work:
Unlock with WiFi
Dual Mount SD
These worked good on my EVO but no dice on the Photon. Suggestions?

Unlock with Wifi won't work if you're using something like Juice Defender or any app that turns wifi off because UWW needs wifi to remain on.
Cant answer your 2nd app.

Yea....read through the FAQ already. I don't have anything like that on my phone as far as I know unless it is something that came stock on it (I did notice there was some kind of task manager on there).
Do you have it working on your phone?

Wonder if Battery Manager is interfering with it? I'm new to Motorola myself so that feature is new to me, but check that setting on your phone real quick?

Not sure what Battery Manager you are referring to. Can you clarify please?
*Update* Been working with the dev for Dual Mount SD and there might be an update to fix it this week. Also, I may have fixed the issue with Unlock for Wifi. Need more time to test it though.

Settings -> Battery & Data Manager
I can't get Custom Android Font Changer to apply the font change...anyone else try this app yet with their photon? Maybe I need to run the root script again?
EDIT: Root check told me I had busybox, but I didn't. Installed busybox and it now works great!

I'm set on performance but it doesn't make a difference. Believe that is mostly for sync settings anyways.
There is a bit of a debate about whether root for the Photon is actually 100%. App devs are saying no and rom devs are saying yes.
All I know is some of my favorite root apps used on my ogEVO I cannot use on the Photon which is a real bummer. If anyone could figure out why that would be awesome.
A couple of the apps I would like to use: Unlock for WiFi & Dual Mount USB
In regards to Dual Mount USB by Protocol-X, seems the directories it needs access to exist but cannot be written to for some reason even though in Root Explorer I have set proper permissions. Other rooted phones don't have this issue and I would like to know why.
Anyone have insight into any of this??
Is there anyone else using Barnacle with this phone? It seems to work great except for when i try to stop the tethering. the UI shows it has stopped but the device i am tethered to is clearly still receiving data?
Anyone else experiencing this?

Why use Barnacle? The native tethering works better (actually behaves as an AP instead of adhoc) once you freeze or delete TetherManager2.apk

How do you go about to freeze or delete TetherManager2.apk? I imagine root is needed correct?

Yes - but it would be needed for Barnacle anyway.
"freeze" is something you can do with TitaniumBackup.
I usually just manually remove it in an ADB shell.

ive already removed it i just thought i read somewhere its safer to use a 3rd party app but if the stock one is safe after removing this than id much rather do that

I don't think anything is safe any more. AT&T seems to be doing deep packet inspection now.
So far people who have tethered Android tablets don't seem to have problems, but even light tethering with a PC gets you nailed now.
good to know, thanks again
A superuser popup came up for "Reset Notify" app and I accidentally clicked the bottom selection of "deny permanently". In SU 1.0.1.8 there is no option to undo this or change it. How can go back and allow it?
Clear data for supersu
That reset notify thing pops up quite frequently for me, it's kind of annoying. Mr. Gunnyman, any idea what it is?

com.htc.resetnotify. You'd think that granting it permissions once would be enough but noooooo it would rather pester and annoy me every couple days. Google provides zero answers.
My stock rooted phone never sees this
Mine is stock rooted too. I saw it on my last one with cleanROM as well. It really isn't that big of a nuisance, I'd still like to know what the hell it is though. What superuser app are you using?
It doesn't seem to affect anything so far with it denied permission.... I'm just worried its needed for something....
That and I would just like to know for the future in case i make this mistake again.
My phone is stock rooted, heck I just got it yesterday....

I just froze it in TiB. No negative effects.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I think it's somehow tied to the HTC Setup app that prompts to setup an HTC account. I've seen the reset notify prompt at the same time the green HTC notification. Just froze both.
