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!

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.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
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

Hello all
I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to hide the fact my EVO is rooted from the bright house tv app?
All the I devices in my house can use it but when I open it on my phone it won't work and says the reason is because it's rooted.
Is there anyway to hide the fact I'm rooted from this one app without actually unrooting?

Have you tried supersu, it has a hide feature that should work. Also for reference might want to post in q&a next time. Good luck with the app
well if its like the time warner app all i gotta do is disable supersu and i can stream tv.
I'm running meanrom and have supersu, but don't see an option to hide. The app itself doesn't request root it just checks if you're rooted.
I haven't tried disabling supersu, how do you do it?
Thanks for the first help.
its on the settings tab, uncheck enable superuser. thats all i have to do to get the time warner app to stream.

Thanks, that's what I meant, lol.
I just finished doing that And cleared App data for the bright house tv app and supersu and it still says I can't do it on a rooted device.
Why so much hate towards root, I mean I have to log in and can only use it at my own house where I pay for my services so I don't see what the problem is.
Is that check something that can be pulled out of the apk itself?

It could be taken out, u just need to find someone who has it that wants it out to do it for u.
Also, try disabling su, clear brighthouse data/cache, then reset phone. Still not working?
Well, I disabled supersu.
Cleared bright house tv app data in settings.
Booted into recovery and cleared cache and dalvik.
Still no go as far as hiding to it the fact I'm rooted. It still knows I'm rooted and won't play.
I'm not about to unrooting for this one app either. Just wished it would work. Damn u bright house

Tap to pay doesn't work for me, just tested it on mine running MJ7 rooted with SuperSU preserve from MI1.
I wish junior members would spend more time searching before they post.
Verizon does not allow "Tap to Pay" to work. The function is blocked.
You need to root and go through one of the methods to get it to work.
I have Version 2.0-R1333-v14... running on MI1.
To get it to work, I used a combination of methods from two different threads.
I used the wallet installer with the exposed framework to remove the region and root check.
I used the instruction from this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303325&highlight=wallet
And got the exposed wallet hack installed. At step 12.
I took the zip from this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454971&highlight=wallet
I manually installed all the files by following the script in the zip file.
Then I followed #13 on.
I will post more detailed instructions when I get a chance.
You can get 2.x to work it's just a pain.

I am on stock MJ7 with the root that the member "open1your1eyes0" posted. I thought I would play with Google Wallet because it updated today for me. I have done the build.prop name change game several time with the "unsecured element" message every time since rooting, even with frameworks. I edited the build.prop again, restarted w/framework mod checked, installed Google Wallet off the play store. It worked for the most part without any issue and the tap-n-pay let me set it up. I ran into issues after it let me turn on tap-n-pay. I get the message, "Tap and pay setup failed- Unable to set-up Wallet for purchases. Wallet is having trouble setting up tap and pay. Please try again. This may take a few minutes". Under that message it shows my debit card and a "change tap and pay settings". and it as "Tap and pay Unavailable (NfcPaymentSetupFailure: 1) in the "About" menu. Not sure how to fix this but it is way further than I have ever gotten with Wallet.

That's not wallet for MJ7. It's wallet for deodexed 4.3.
If you know how to make Wallet work with tap-and-pay on MJ7 (which is what this thread is about) then several people would be happy to hear about it.
Why would I want deodexed 4.3? I don't mind losing a little space on my phone that I can easily get back with an sd card.

There's this terrible fashion going around in the UK of official apps from certain companies not working on rooted devices.
Then here comes ioroot which gracefully roots your device and guess what, does it in such a way that it isn't detected by any app, right out of the box.
I installed CM11 and unfortunately, CM11 does it wrong. I can't run any of the apps now, and some of them are quite important. For example, the Three network has an app called Three inTouch which lets you make calls over Wi-Fi (but through your normal number) in places where there is no mobile reception. It's kind of like your own personal femtocel. The app doesn't work with root.
Tried all the ways out there to hide root, it would seem none work on CM11.
This was just a heads-up. If hiding root is important for you, go with stock and ioroot and NOT CM11.

Seriously, this is utter complete nonsense. The root detection is done on the STOCK ROM. There's no "root detection" happening when CM11 is installed. Period.

The root detection he is referring to is done by the apps not the system...he is saying that the method io root uses cloaks that root from being detected and root is visible to these apps in cm basically making them unusable... Sadly there are a lot of apps now that check for root and won't run due to being "unsafe".

Yes, it eventually comes down to that, and it seems to work about 50% of the time (as in half the apps still detect root even with RootCloak).
RootCloak through Cydia doesn't seem to work at all. Or in other words, I didn't manage to get Cydia running on CM11.
However, Xposed is not without security risks, more so than having root. Plus, I'd really love me some ART runtime right about now, but the Xposed Framwork dev won't be updating it until it gets released officially later this year with the Android L OS.
Ah well, life can't be perfect. I'm not condemning CM11 god now, I'm just wondering, what's different between the two methods of rooting because really, ioroot just worked out of the box.
It rooted the phone and I was prepared to resort to other hiding methods but I didn't need any.
So basically Android Pay works, for me at least, while I'm rooted. I don't use it but was curious to see if it would work or not while rooted but surprisingly it does, unless I'm missing something. Just thought I'd share this.
So details? like rom or software state, xposed, rooted, etc..

What do you mean by it "works"? Works as in you can open the app or works as in you can add cards and make payments? How did you root? The new systemless methods or the old fashioned way?

This is wrong. I can verify that I can open the app while rooted, and google will even send me an email saying 'You set up Android Pay on a new device' the first time I open it. But of course, I cannot add a credit card.
It works fine with root and xposed on every rom I've tried. You just have to add the cards before rooting or installing the xposed framework. If you unroot but xposed is still there it won't work. Once the card is added it will work if your rooted or not. The check is only done while adding it.
If you use systemless root it works, that's been known for a while.

"Irregardless" -
is a word commonly used in place of regardless or irrespective, which has caused controversy since the early twentieth century, though the word appeared in print as early as 1795.[1] Most dictionaries list it as nonstandard or incorrect usage, and recommend that "regardless" should be used instead.

This is false. I was running Chroma with systemless root, I was able to add cards to Android Pay, and then I installed Xposed. Android Pay opens, but when I try to actually pay I get an error that Android Pay can't be used at this time. I even had the no policy check module installed.
