Hi all,
I posted this in another forum, but I still need help
Been using SPC (Super Private Conversation) for a while, been working good.
Now that my phone has been rooted to CM6.1.0-DS, SPC has not been working that good. The filtering is not working properly.
Maybe if I try to give this app superuser status, it will perform better or does anyone know of any app that can replace this SPC on my rooted Dream?
Thanks

It probably flat out doesn't work with your current phone or rom. I've never installed this app but it doesn't mention su rights and so I don't think it would make a difference.

Hello so I rooted my Inspire today and all seemed well when I noticed that the super user app does nothing but crash when ever i try to open root apps and it asks them for permission? Any ideas

Which ROM are you running?
It was just the stock rom from the root made by Buddy. I wanted to try to flash a CM 7 but my superuser seems to be not working keeps force closing
Check out the faq of his thread. You need the patched SU.

It's in the Inspire development thread. Bubbys.

Thanks that worked!! Back in action!
On more than one occasion (renting google moves and enterprise email), I have been told I can't use an app because my device is rooted.
Is there a way to "trick" an app into thinking that the device is not rooted so that the app can be used?
P.S. I posted in Dev first but I think its going to be deleted. Well I am pretty sure so I am reposting here.
Does it ask for super user permissions, if so deny them and see if that works.
As far as movies, I think we need source to trick the os.

Thanks for the replies...
Neither app needs root permissions. They just won't run on rooted devices.
It checks something...anybody have an idea of what it checks?
i m very interest in this too. i nvr root but.it is good if i/can use titanium backup
anyone got some more info on this?
i also need to trick an app into thinkin my device is not rooted
Is it possible to unroot your phone without going back to the stock rom? My employer started offering wi-fi but only for unrooted devices. Thank you.
There have been miscellaneous discussions regarding hiding root, I would suggest looking into those first.
As well, if there is no software/app needed to be installed on the device there's no way that a wifi connection could detect root. So, how do they plan to find out if you're rooted or not?

They do have something that you have to install in order to use the wi-fi service. I hadn't seen anything about hiding root and will do a search on that. Thank you!

Why does your employer care if you're rooted or not when connecting to their Wi-Fi?

I work for a financial company so everything is extra secure.
I still don't understand why root access to your own device poses a threat so much that your employer doesn't want you connecting to wifi. Either way l, hope someone can help u hide ur super user status or connect to the network anyway

Because companies like that are paranoid and think you may accidently or on purpose give them a virus, or have them. Android is not affected by a Win32 virus, and it may not even be affected by a regular Linux virus (very unlikely but I don't know tons about the ins and outs on that level).

Not sure if hiding su would work. A simple app should be able to determine that you have su binary even without gaining access (IMHO).

Yes it's possible, I have CM9 without root. SuperSu has an option to remove root I think it's just the app and the SU binary not sure. I would assume that they don't want a user rooted because it's very easy to packet sniff if you're rooted and connected to someone's WiFi

Thanks everyone. I found a few things that I am going to try and will let you know if any work!

So I have an update on this. The app that my employer is using for this is AirWatch. I tried using the Temporary Unroot option in Superuser prior to installing it but my phone still came back as non-compliant. I know that the unroot worked though because ROM Manager told me that the phone needed to be unrooted in order for it to work. I am thinking there may be another app on my phone that it is detecting and thus causing it to say it is out of compliance. I am going to keep researching but if anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
Chuck
maybe it's detecting any of the apps on your phone that were granted su access....did you deny them SU access before hiding root?
I tried that and also uninstalled a couple of items but still no go. The only apps on the list are superuser itself and titanium backup as I deleted the others.

Can you try a full unroot with super one click and see if that works?
I would have a $500 brick if it weren't for nvflash. Thanks Nvidia!
Thank you again to everyone for your help. We switched to the new plan at T-Mobile and I ended up buying the HTC One. With the offer to trade in my wife's Samsung Exhibit 4G (the I first one) for $100 toward the purchase from HTC I felt it was the right time to upgrade.
I just read on CyanogenMod's website that all CM stock ROM's allow the owner of the phone to control whether root access should be granted to an application. Will OnePlus One allow a general user to install a native C++ application that requires root access without hassle?

The OnePlus One will be delivered in official state not rooted.
If you want install applications with root requierement then you have to root first your device.
Rooting/flashing/modifiing the software is dangerous by nature so if you damage your phone by doing this no one will replace you it for free and not with warranty.
Rooting/flashing/modifiing your device is okay by OnePlus if you asking cause of warranty but when you damage it cause of rooting its not okay for example when you try overclock with a app.
I tried to explain it simple i hope all will understand and agree this.
There is also a thread in OnePlus One forum if you want take this information from the base just use search engine like always
Cheers

Judging from the OP's original point it sounds like rooting is a simple on/off feature unless I'm misreading. Or will this be another device that we root the same way as we would any other device?

I would think from what I've heard this phone should be as easy to root as a Nexus. It should be basic fastboot oem unlock for the bootloader then you can flash a custom recovery and superuser.
I root my devices, because I usually want to get rid of the unneeded CRAP that comes with most phones.
If OPO or any other mfg delivers a device without the bloat, I doubt I would need to root it.
The main reason I root is for a particular call blocking app that requires root and works on the system level. Main reason.

I need root at least for Titanium Backup as I'm a flashaholic... and always in need of a full backup of all the important apps I install everytime. But from what I read, it will be possible to choose whether to root or not. About bootloader I don't know. I'm also curious what recovery will be installed... Will they build their own version of CWM? And if yes, will we need to build something else?
Hi guys, I am Bross1993, and I am a new member and I am willing to help on everything I can, I got a question though, I have installed SuperUser and for some reason, during the last few days I have been unable to grant superuset permission to any app, and I even installed the elite feature but the app does not recognize it, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it twice but still got the same issue, if someone can help on this, I would really appreciate it, Thank y'all before hand.

Hi,
What device do you have? Are you using custom software or running stock ROM? I assume superuser worked for at least some time prior?
