Hiding root on nexus 5 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need to hide root on my phone to load a work app, anyone have any suggestions?
I found "hide my root"in Google play store, but it hasn't been updated in over a year. Anyone that with phone?
I also saw root cloaked in xposed, but I have a feeling my work is smarter than that.
Suggestions?

Xposed is your best bet.

The xposed module didn't work for me. I tried RooCloak and it seems to have done the trick.

RootCloak Xposed module works perfectly here, for the same purpose.

Have you used lucky patcher on Whatsapp? I would wipe Play Store Cache and the dalvik cache. If you've used lucky patcher on whatsapp you should revert any patches you may have applied.

Then don't worry about the lucky patcher thing, are you rooted and do you have a custom recovery?

Okay, have you tried going into*Settings>Apps and clearing cache or data on Google Play Services? Then reboot your device and report back

The other option I would recommend would be to root and flash a custom recovery, then flashing the dalvik cache. If that doesn't work then installing a custom ROM, but before that's an option I want to make sure we've used all other possible ways to fix it.

Thank you but rooting isn't on my plans because that was the reason I got a Nexus 5 vanilla Android. As well as that my bank apps will stop working.
Can't seem to find an explanation for this error.

Nope says app not installed.
Probably a factory reset would be an option???
But it is pain, reinstall and setup all again.

Hm, did you move any files to that nexus from a previous device that had Whatsapp installed? If so(or no, either way doesn't hurt to try), go into your internal storage and look for a folder named Android, then go into the folder Data. Look for the folder named com.whatsapp (or something similar) and delete the entire folder. Then try again.

There is no .WhatsApp folder.
After a Google search I found out that whatsapp does not run with Art but I changed to dalvik a few days ago so it should work.

Nexus 5 ART

I have just got my nexus 5 a day ago running stock rom stock kernel, rooted with clockworkmod in play and I'm trying to turn on ART, the system asks to reboot and when it does there is no upgrading process when the device boots, I in to dev options and it indicates it's still using David, I've tried this over and over again and nothing, anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong?

Hi,
Do you use Xposed framework and modules?
If yes it's normal because they are not compatible with ART, and makes revert to Dalvik runtime automatically.
If no, sorry I don't know...
I do use exposed, that's a real shame, what if I was to use a custom Rom like omni would it still revert back?

So yes it's due to Xposed and you can't do anything until the devs will make it compatible...
No you can use ART with another rom but not with Xposed, whatever the rom with Xposed you can't use ART...

Help me find the problem please

Hey guys! I don't know what is causing this, but from time to time I get my navigation bar like this (link in the end) and I don't know what to do.. I got my device rooted with no custom root, got Xposed framework and a couple of modules and got softkeyz installed and working.. But I can't press the home button for example because of this! I don't know what is causing and I would like your help, because it's really annoying.. Rebooting the device solves the problem temporarily, after a while is goes back like this.. http://i62.tinypic.com/14j8foi.png

can you please tell me what did you do before this condition ? did you install transparent notifications xposed module ?
I will tell everything I have that can mess with it: I'm rooted and I have Xposed framework. From apps I have softkeyz (using to change the colour and shape of soft keys) and adaway. From modules I have: Advanced power menu, AppOps, gravity box, Boot Manager, Soft keys fade mod, xui mod (not using anything related with soft keys from it). I am also using nova launcher with some icon packs.
Regards!

I disabled softkeyfadeawaymod.. Now it's everything fine.. Seems like a bug from that module.. Will keep you posted

I had this problem of home key not working, I flashed stock rom and it was fixed, you would have to reinstall everything after you flash stock rom
Or you can try remapping keys(not recommended)(try only if you are an expert)

Anyone ?

I was using root cloak wrong I thought you had to delete the verizon isis one off the list instead it needed to be left alone and then it worked, just mixed up what I was supposed to do. Just install the app and do what it says and dont remove the verizon isis one on the list.

Root problem.

Hey there. I'm new to the community and don't know where to go so I went to Nexus 5 and Q&A center. Please don't be mad if this is the wrong place for rooting things.
Anyway, two days or so, I finally rooted my Nexus 5. I used kingroot, and then proceeded to switch to SuperSU. Now, before I switched to SuperSU, I noticed a problem. It wouldn't let me make in app purchases. It would either say "Try and update Google Play Services" or it would do nothing at all. This problem is still happening even though Kinguser and Kingroot and all that good jazz is replaced by SuperSU. Any easy fix to this or any fix at all?
Any body
