[Q] Cartoon Wars: Gunner+ asks for superuser - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Not sure if this is the right spot to post this in but ever since the app has been updated to 1.0.7, the app requests superuser a few seconds after i select load game.
Yes the apk was downloaded directly from google play
I am using a rooted Transformer TF101 stock rom with SuperSU
Should i redownload the game, get rid of it or just deny ( as i have been doing so far)
Does anyone know why it even requests root?

i once downloaded one of gamevil's other games called Legend of Master 3 and it asked for root permissions. i granted it, and a dialog told me that it wont run on rooted devices. idk if yours is working, but it sounds like they are trying to implement that into their other games as well. im not sure why, since most their games are free... and there isnt any competitive play so no one can cheat...

Thanks for the response, was beginning to think it was just me. Guess ill just leave it as deny always, maybe you should try that out too if your still interested in that game
Always pisses me off when game makers try to deny rooted users tho i guess they are worried about making money since its one of those buy coins to get upgrades type of game

Is there any way to update the stock angry birds?

I want to get the new levels but I don't know how to update the stock one. When I download the market version, I get two apps of angry birds one stock and the market version with all of the levels. My problem with this is that my stock version is the one with all of the levels beaten and when I open the market version, I don't have anything beat.

Unfortunately, you will have to root your device to get rid of system apps. Once you do however, you can either install a new ROM that doesn't have the app preinstalled, or you can use a tool like Bloat Freezer to "freeze" the app, and possibly uninstall it. Freezing it will make it look uninstalled to you, but it will still actually be on the system - the only problem is that uninstalling some preinstalled apps can prevent updates from deploying on your device. That's why it's best to freeze instead of uninstall - but it might not matter with Angry Birds.
I had the same problem but since my phone is rooted I was able to uninstall the stock Angry Birds. I downloaded the newest version of Angry Birds but the bad thing is that it has ads.

You can use an app called root tools to block ads.
I just used titanium backup and froze the stock one.
I don't think the question was answered, and I am curious as well. Basically, it sounds like if you want the new levels, you have to DL the market app to replace the built in one as there is no way to update the preinstalled version.
This means that he would lose his progress in the pre-installed game and have to start over on the DL version (and endure ads unless rooted), correct?
Is there perhaps a file that stores the progress that could be moved over to the other version?

[APP]World Wide KindleFire - Watch Amazon Video From Outside U.S

New version is available on the market with CM7 support.
For those of you who don't know this app -
It is a perfect solution for those kindle fire users who doesn't live in USA.
It will lets you to watch Amazon Streaming Video as if you're connected from the U.S and even if your device is rooted.
Search "World Wide KindleFire" in the market.
Direct link to market
OTA Rootkeeper app is free and does the same thing as this. So, what does this do that is better?
With OTA you can temporarily unroot and watch amazon videos, then after u watch, press reroot and you are rooted again.
Yes but whenever you restore back to root, do a reboot. OTA RootKeeper is Awesome btw.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
OTARoot keeper won't let you watch Amazon video if you're located outside of the U.S, And this is the whole point in this app.
It's not just unroot your device it also lets you watch amazon video no matter of where you're surfing from....
Does this app actually circumvent the root check, or does it unroot you just like OTA Rootkeeper?
I guess the basic unroot operation is the same like OTA, but it does avoid you from restarting the kindle fire or manually kill the amazon video process each time you want to watch a movie.
Working good here on CM7, good work.
i see that people from are saying that doesn't work...and don't see many reviews in the Android Market. Does it really work?

yes.
it works great!
it's just that some times the proxy servers are a bit slow and stuff and then you just need to go to the next one.
Seems like no servers available for days now.
Yea the servers are pretty loaded in the last two days.. but I'm still able to get working servers, which error do you get?
I get the following:
Failed on server validation. Try the next server.
Could not find any good server.
Seems like program might have lost root. Tried uninstalling both program and Superuser but cannot give it root again. Any tips?
try setting the super user automatic response to allow and then reinstall the app it might help...

Tried it.
Still same error as before.
what error are you getting?
are you positive that you get root permissions?
cause Amazon pushed a security update in the last weekend so you might have lost your root permissions on the device.
have you tried going to the next server?

I have root as all my other root apps gets root fine and works.
Tried till there's no more servers to test.
But when you start the app does it gets root permissions?
you see the toast notification "World Wide KindleFire has been granted SuperUser permissions" ?
So I can use this on cm7 to watch amazon video? Or is there a different way to watch prime video? I'm in the US.

Issue installing Root Browser Lite 2.1 - apk request

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to install "Root Browser Lite" version 2.1 from the Google play store, but for some strangely odd reason, i am having a weird issue.
Everytime i try to install it, it says: Cannot install, Inefficient Storage available.
That would obviously mean that i dont have any space left in the Application partition of the internal memory, but to my suprise I do indeed have plenty.
I have over 100mb left. And i can install applications that are over 15mb without a problem, litterally right after trying to install Root Browser.
Its only a mere 1.3 mb download and cant be too much more extracted..
Ive uninstalled applications, cleared my cache, rebooted, among other things and still cant get this one application to install.
Maybe if i install the .apk from my sdcard i could install it properly..? So could someone who has this application be kind enough to share their .apk?
Or we could somehow try to figure this out. But like i said it hasnt been an issue with anything else at all..
Also, so you know and need not ask, ive tried nearly all other file explorers right now, and so far they have all been really lame in my opinion. Currently I like the MIUI port explorer, but im constantly getting force closes so I need a change. Root Browser is really nice and is a file explorer I plan to stick with. (If i can get it anyway...)
I have an older version, but I know he rebuilt the whole app in the recent update so I'd prefer v2.1
Hope some body can help me out.
Id really greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your time.
Have you tried pushing it through adb?
I have not. As I am not sure how..
Wouldnt I need the apk to do so?
Ohh yeah, you'll need the apk...
There was an extension for google chrome (pc) that allowed you to download apk's to comp from play store...
Just search around, I don't remember its name...
Omg I made a big mistake I meant Root Browser not root explorer... gosh that was dumb...

Does it make a difference?
They serve the same purpose
It does indeed make a difference. I think root explorer is absolutely horrible imo, but I am specifically looking for root browser.
Root browser = sleek and sexy with better functionality
Root explorer = clunky, ugly, dumb icon, fails with its functionality, not much preview thumbnail support, extraction support is a joke, and did I mention ugly?
Just saying id hate for someone to go through the trouble to get the one I absolutely don't want ya know?
Well, you can try file manager by rythm software, for a change...
I can pretty much believe you'll like it...
As regards for root browser, I don't use play store, so am not able to lay my hands on the latest version...
If I get it, I'll pass on the apk of the lite version...
Btw, have you found the chrome extension yet?

Thanks,
So I installed File Manager. I like it, its pretty nice. But I also managed to get Root Browser Installed as well finally, so I am happy about that. So I have kept both of them.
As for the chrome extension, no I didn't yet, because this is the first time I am seeing your post! I wonder how that happened! I was using the XDA Premium application on my phone to post in this thread with you, and for some reason that post didn't show up until I just not visited on my Computer... hmm. weird... But thats really cool, I will get to searching for that right now. I started using Firefox again, with the latest update, since I been using chrome for so long.. But now I am using both, so I will definitely check that out. Do you want to know the name of it when I find it?
And I noticed you mentioned you dont use the Google Play Store for your apps, So what do you use then?
I use other market alternatives like 1mobile market (only free apps here) and others...
I also google around for stuff...
If I still don't find it, I install play store, download apk, and then again remove play store...
Yes please, if you do find that chrome extension, send me along a link

Do you happen to still have the root browser 2.1.0 apk? I'd love a copy. (2.1.1 is giving me issues) Thanks.
ROM toolbox Pro
ROM toolbox pro has root browser and many other features. I can give you a copy of the .apk. I will upload it in this post.

How to detach an app from the Play Store

Right, I'm a PowerAMP pro user, but with a pretty old phone. The latest app is working but it's slow and sometimes lags. The poweramp site also offers the old 1.4 version which works right for me. Now, all is fine and dandy but I;m a bit annoyed by the app always showing up there to be updated. So I searched for a method to detach the app from the market and learnt that the bug has been solved long ago and apps can't be detached. So I tried changing the app's signature, of course with no luck, my android dev skills being close to absolute zero.
So I ask you, is there any way to do this? I am not pirating the app, so don't worry
I'm also trying to convince the developer to make an unsigned version of the app specifically for old timers like me, but with no success until now..
Just use LBE Privacy guard and freeze internet connection permission for this particular app..
So it will not connect to net and not telling you that new version is available..
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.

If it doesnt need to connect to the internet for anything else you could use droidwall to block it from accessing the playstore
If your rooted you could use blackmart to download the app and never have to update it
Or see the updates notifications saying there's an update

I know Titanium Backup can detach apps, though I am not sure if it is available in the free version. However, I do recommend the paid version of Titanium Backup anyway.

On a related note, is there a way to remove apps from the "My Apps"list? It is really annoying to have to scroll through a list of apps containing tons of apps that you may have tried for a while and then uninstalled when you need to reinstall something. And why is the "My Apps" list in random order and not alphabetical?

As far as I know (and after some quick Googling), there is no way to remove any apps from the giant "My Apps" list. However, I use the Appbrain android market replacement, and it lets you customize your lists and sort them better. You can remove devices from view though.

Play Store and FE:Heroes "incompatibility"

So this is the first time I've witness a problem like this, where I want to download an app (Fire Emblem: Heroes), but the Play Store does not show it on my phone! When I search it on my computer it says it's not compatible with my devices. I figured it was due to root, so I unrooted a device that I soft rooted and it worked. I can now play on that device. However, my main device, my phone, is much more deeply rooted. So, is there a documented issue with apps not appearing on the play store due to root and is there any way to circumvent this? I want to avoid downloading apks from third party websites preferably, but the app itself has root detection on it as well once you DO install it! But basically, I don't want to miss out on a potentially good app because of some silly root check. If I don't see it I may never know about it!
Same problem here. So you are you sure that before the unroot the game wasn't working on your other phone? I never heard of apps not appearing in store due to root, usually you can download the app and then the ban happen as soon as you run it.
I'm on Galaxy S7 rooted android 6 tried on Nougat too but no luck. Also tried on Galaxy S4 and also i saw in the compatibily list also my old Lg G2 is not compatible, both are rooted too. I remember i was able to pre register too so now i'm pretty mad i can't play it since i'm a fan of the series.
Yeah, I'm sure. At first I was super confused. Then I tried using someone else's phone, and it not only showed up, but it showed an advertisement for the game on the front page! As soon as I unrooted my device, the app showed up on the front page of the play store and was searchable as well. Now when I search for the game on my computer it says "Some devices not compatible with this game" and it only shows my rooted phone as not being compatible. I agree with you that this is pretty bizarre. I didn't know Google Play went through that kind of effort detecting root, especially since they have apps that are root only. So the question now is, how do you hide root from Google Play?
How do you unroot your phone? I used the option on supersu to unroot but still the game says is not compatible.
You could try using Magisk to hide root.

I tried Magisk but still no luck.Maybe there are some others remainings files on my phone that are detected or maybe i simply did something wrong i don't know.
I guess that's it, i'm not going to remove my root, really Nintendo surprise even on mobile with their retarded politics, i would have probably spended some money on the game only to support it like i did with other games i liked.
I removed root AND xposed. Maybe if you have xposed it still detects it. My unroot method was just using the superSU removal option. But like I said, my root was pretty light, I just rooted to uninstall a few stock verizon apps. If you have a rom with root embedded in it, you might not be able to unroot without reinstalling a new ROM. I understand Nintendo wanting to block rooted users since rooting is how you get hacks for your paid apps. However, they're isolating a pretty large base of players by doing that and it's probably not a good business decision. They're losing out more on the majority of people that don't risk installing said hacks on their phone. Those kind of hacks don't even break the game either, which makes it even more asinine. It would just be some guy ruining the game for himself by removing the limitation of orbs or experience.
P.S. It is a pretty good game and I'm fully enjoying myself with it. I might recommend getting a cheap $150 tablet to play it if you can't unroot.
