Bright House TV now on Android -- Won't work if you're rooted... - Android General

If you're a Bright House TV subscriber, you can now watch live TV at home on your Android device. This has been available on the iPad for a while now, and is available for iPhone now as well.
Problem is, it WILL NOT work if your device is rooted. And it says, "You can't use this application on a rooted device." (Or something along those lines)

I even tried Voodoo's temporary unroot with no success. Can the apk be modified to bypass the root check?

Wow, that works great. Just tried it out on my Touchpad running the latest nightly on CM9. So far so good... Thx for posting.

Apparently, it doesn't work on the EVO 4G LTE, either. I jut got it a couple weeks ago, and I haven't been able to get it working. I'm not even rooted.

Its not an issue really. It is how the rest of the world sets their numbers. And lets not forget where HTC is. Your best bet is to just set up your numbers with the +1 in front like the rest of the world. They are not gonna change this for the few US based phones that come out. Oh and its ATT that is supposed to make those changes.

I'm pretty sure this doesn't fix it for everyone. (Definitely doesn't fix it for me.) Is there any other step besides adding +1?
All my contacts are +13333333333. The names eventually show up, but a reboot makes them disappear.
EDIT: I do agree though, it wouldn't be an issue otherwise.
For some reason when i do the check for updates it tells me my phone is up to date. I know i can download the update manually but i would rather not have to as it wipes my phone. Are their any solutions ?? Thank you in advance for anybody who assists me

You can check or keep waiting. Or you can use one of the roms that are have been based on this release and been around for over a week

Sky Go on the Note

Has anyone managed to watch Sky Go on the Note using the latest app?
Nope.
At present it does not work on the Note, nor does it work on ICS which we should be getting soon, and apparently it will NEVER work on rooted devices.
Devs, please fix this useless app for us.
This is absolutely stupid from sky. Why cant this work on Sky note , when it can work on Galaxy and Galaxy S2 phones. Both have same operating system. I hope some dev will be able to fix this.

Vj
It works on jailbroken iphones and ipads, so why can't this work on a rooted android device. Arghhh

I don't know for Sky UK, but in Italy we prefer to read the subscription with a Linux based decoder called Dreambox.
You can buy it original or chinese clone (starting from £ 60.00...)
Way better features, streaming of ALL the Bouquets and ALL the channels (no Sky Go bunch of selected channels...).
In my case I use DreamDroid + VPlayer when in LAN and AndroidDreamer when outside under 3G Network!
Use RootKeeper, it disables(but backs up) root access, tested on my SGSII rooted using this method, and i'm able to play Sky Go.
Also hope this is adapted for Note use. why they have only developed it for so few devices is pointless.

I can confirm that Voodoo OTA RootKeeper does hide the root, I've tested this on my Note.
Does Sky Go work on the Galaxy Note though which is not one of the listed working devices?

Can confirm this works on my note with rootkeeper running.. unfortunately i cant log in though as i already have 2 devices connected to the account. Any idea on how i can get rid of one? Also i made up a new account but you only get the news with it as you dont have the relevant subscription.
Edit.. Just logged in to sky go on pc and removed one of two xboxes and now logged in on phone.. all channels im subscribed to are working

Nothing too earth shattering if you read the official statement from Verizon, but may have a fix for those with SIM troubles.

But, if we are rooted, we don't want to update. Right? Thank-you
right, the safest way to update is to restore back to stock, stock kernel, and DEFINITELY re-lock your bootloader if you have it unlocked.

I wouldn't do it if I were you. Not while rooted....Can brick your phone I heard.
Do not update if u are rooted.
Well if you can't update while rooted, what are you supposed to do if it auto updates? I was just sitting in bed and noticed that my notification went off on my phone and not on my tablet (meaning not email). I checked the phone and if I hadn't noticed it would have auto updated and I am rooted on stock. It said the update would start in 3 minutes after I heard the notification. I deferred until tomorrow and have my phone how I want it, so I really don't want to go back to stock. I suppose I could make a nandroid.
It really scares me though that Verizon almost pushed an update that could have potentially bricked my phone. I don't think that is right, quite honestly.

I used HoM with obake maxx and when I get back to "stock" successfully according to HoM, my WIFI wont connect to anything and when I try to take the OTA update to 12.15.15, I bootloop shortly after rebooting.
I was able to resolve my issue somehow. I deleted the "set" rows above boot.img in the obake maxx xml file. I then ran HoM and it bootlooped. I then re-ran it with the full xml file and this time it took and worked great. I was then able to take the OTA and then root using rockmymoto and life seems to be great!
Thanks all for all the information!

Rooting the AT&T LG G2

My friend has the AT&T G2 and she received an OTA update to her phone on 2/13/14. I want to help her root her phone but I am not sure if the update she received will present any challenges. Can I still use the rooting methods that were already established before her phone received this update ?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I was literally doing the exact same thing this afternoon too. My friends phone has the newest OTA and is on firmware D80010q.
I tried the normal methods to no avail. I was able to get Superuser on the phone, however, didn't have root access. From what I've been able to come up with we have to downgrade to D80010d in order to root it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50354625&postcount=2121

Yeah its not my phone, its a girl who lives a few hours away. But if the rooting software isn't updated by the next time I see her (2 weeks or so), I'll most likely give it a shot. Post here or PM me and keep me updated on how it all goes. I found a youtube video that went through it and it doesn't seem that difficult.
Yea my friend isn't exactly close and she is likely to be deterred by any extra steps.
Does that video cover downgrading the software version back to d? If so post the link. If it's just a rooting a video I don't need it. I already rooted my Sprint G2.
