Can't start app because "device is not secure" after rooting - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place or been asked before.
I just bought a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and rooted it. No problems.
But, when trying to start the app "T-We See" (not allowed to post links yet) from my cable company to watch TV on the tab I get your device is not secure error when launching it.
I called them and they say this app is not working on rooted devices. I have no knowledge of writing apps, but is this a check that can be easily removed? First time I met an app which denies me because I have root.

[Q] Tablet stolen. Still in use over google? Help! Important!

Hi all!
A few months ago my tablet (Asus Transformer) got stolen. (((
Anyway... I changed my Google password one day after this and I have still the control over my account. Phuuu... I expected that with this password change the thief has no chance to get in my account.
Today I went in the Google Play Store, as it is called now. I noticed that the stolen device is still in the list of my devices. The strange thing is, it displays that it is still in use and the last activity was on the 27th of March 2012 (which is today) O_O.
My first thought was: OMG the thief has stolen my google account?! But everything seems to be still fine. I can use my google services and the thief can't have the new password.
But why do I see the usage of my old tablet?
Is there any chance to find out the IP address or track the device without any extra sw on the tab?
Is my google account really secure?
Why wasn't the play store affected to my password change?
How can I remove the device completely from my google?
Please HELP!!!
Other idea:
Is there any app in the market to "destroy" the tablet remotely. Im thinking of a device brick or just a full wipe?
Maybe the thief is so stupid to grant root access to a new installed app
May be you can use LMaxi Anti Theft PRO or AndroidLosst.They can be installed from Google play store web.With this app you can find your tablet.

Do I have to enter anything locally on the device itself? I'm using the Cerberus app now on my phone and my new tablet but I know that I need to login one time on the device to set it up.

I just noticed exactly the same for my stolen/lost phone. The "last used" date was the date I lost it, until now. March 27. Maybe its because of some data migration and the switch to the "Play" store?

[Q] Galaxy S4 GT-I9502 16GB dual SIM. Rooted, Google play store closes automatically

Hello there I've just got Galaxy S4 GT-I9502 16GB dual SIM. as this model is selling in China so all the Google related apps is locked.
I then rooted the phone by following the instructions provided by this web : https: // support.mobicity.com/entries/22148360-How-to-flash-the-Google-Play-Store-on-the-Dual-SIM-Galaxy-S4-GT-i9502 (sorry i im unable to post link outside directly here as i am a new comer)
After i done it, i went through the google phone setups just as what showing in the video(you can see the video from the web above) however after i enter my google acc number and password, i then received this error message "unfortunately google play has stopped" , but just one moment before i got that error message, i got another message says that i have few apps installed have its update available in google app store(so i assume that the google app store is working, but for some reason it stopped) . I had a look on the internet and tried all the solutions i.e. go to app manager clear all the data, force to stop and start again, it didnt workout. I also tried delete google play store and instal it again, still got the same problem. I installed Gmail from other android app store, and it works no problems on my phone, and google map has no problems to locate and navigate. I tried to download apps from google play web, and it did work as well as it seems still need to lunch the actual app on my phone, so when i trying to download apps from google play web i got the same error message from my phone. could some plz help with it. i'd be so much appreciate.

This version of the S4 is not even closely related to yours. You'd be best served using the i9500 forum.

[Q] LG Google TV - Can it be Rooted?

Hi!
I'm not new to the rooting scene - I've rooted practically every Android device that I've ever owned. However I can not, for the life of me, find any documentation at all on the interwebs about rooting the LG Google TV running Android 4.2.2. Towelroot and other root apps did nothing for me, sadly.
The reason for rooting is that I want to purchase Lightpack, an awesome TV backlighting system that can work with rooted Android devices to backlight the TV and effectively "extend" the screen (Google it for more info - XDA will not allow me to post outside links since my account is new). The app is installed on my TV just fine, but the issue is that Lightpack cannot enter "screen grab mode" without root, which is the mode where the lightpack updates in real time with the colors of whatever is on the screen, hence the whole point of purchasing it.
Has anyone been successful in rooting the LG Google TV? Here are my specs:
Android 4.2.2
Model no 47GA6400-UD
47" LG branded "Google TV" - once again cannot provide URL because I am below the post limit. Google the model no for more info.
Would be awesome if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Thanks for the link, but it looks like they don't have anything on the LG branded Google TV and rooting it - only the Sony models. Can't find anything at all about LG model anywhere! Crazy.

Maybe The Sony One Is Easier To Work With Haha, Well Sorry I Couldnt Help And Good Luck !
Sweet! I got my LG Google TV rooted! I used Cydia Impactor over Wi-Fi and then installed the SuperSU APK manually - worked like a charm. Now I can buy Lightpack and it will work!
So excited. Yes!
Wish I could post a tutorial for those other LG Google TV users out there waiting for root - I can't post it yet because XDA is disallowing images and links in my posts until 10 posts.
Guide
Did your ever get a guide done for this? I'm interested in rooting my Google tv for lightpack.
I could share contact details if you would prefer.

I did, actually! Without huge knowledge of Android. I didn't find a guide specific to LG Google TV, but I found something on the web and did the equivalent of SSH into the TV over WiFi and pushed the root to the TV remotely. Unfortunately even with root, Lightpack's lazy devs never got screen capture working fully. It bogs the TV resources down so badly that the TV won't even shut off, have to unplug it.
So good news and bad news. Rootable but useless for Lightpack screen capture. Other root stuff works though.
Are you still active here? I am looking for someone using a Google TV by LG

How to install or reinstall Weather alarm clock and now missing?

Hello everyone
(Forgive my bad English, I do not speak and I translated with Google traslate)
I want to thank in advance all help and this great forum.
My problem with my Samsung Gear S is that for weeks I added new applications that got here from another forum and ran without problem, were about ten.
Then last week looking for an application I added a few more. Neither the first nor the second all added, had always complained that any certificate or something but for me were expendable and was not a problem.
But I discovered that this last time I've seen that have disappeared watch two applications, one of the Weather and over the alarm clock (in Spanish we call clock to wake up) and I need them.
I've tried different firmware and update reappear after these two applications but only a few minutes because when I look back no longer are.
I tried resetting to factory and all the applications that I added but not deleted appear the two I lost.
I have searched pro internet and asked in many places but no one answers or no one knows why wonder where you have deep knowledge if someone could tell me where I can find these two applications or recover or if someone tells me how to extract a room or me You can send, I will be very grateful.
My other problem is that you buy the watch legally but internet and did not know it was necessary to have a Samsung mobile so that it can use, my phone is Huawei Ascend P6 (U06) so I had to find the way to install your Gera Manager to initiate Gear S, I got it and I could synchronize almost everything but heat or can I use the market to Samsung, or I can download apps from google market for Samsung so neither synchronizes my S Healt but the biggest problem is that I can not access download these two aplicacioens in case they were (I do not know but I think not because I think they are based, said stock?).
I even consulting Samsung but was told there was no other way to use the clock to install applications that access having a Samsung mobile and installed the clock via mobile ... step commented that they refer also to take Healt S records of mobile to the computer and told me that they could not done through synchronization with the application in the mobile ...
Total I'm handcuffed, please help
Thank you
Angel

I encountered this problem too in last few days. There are three applications disappeared: weather, alarm, and e-mail. And I have no idea what happened. Maybe it's the setting of the firmware?

True, to put applications if I remember correctly you have to give it root and install another version of firmware, this has made many people per ocreo that many did not use those applications and therefore not hechan missing. Auna I updated latest version appeared three applications but only a few minutes, it seems as if other applications or the system itself remove them for something, see if someone helps us, while I put it and yours is the first participation thanks for teaching that does not happen only to me, Greetings

[Problem] Marbotic smart numbers & letters on non samsung devices

Hi,
I'm sorry if it's not the right forum I posted this.
I bought this marbotic learning tools for my little daughter.
Unfortunately my samsung tablet broke and I bought another one.
Now I'm unable to start the marbotic apps i.e. "10 fingers" from play store, the apps can be installed, but when started there's a check that say I don't have a compatible samsung tablet.
Is there any way to trick that check? On my new tablet Fire HD10 (2019) I have only temp root, so I think it's not possible to change build.prop
anyone has an idea about this app?
