ISIS on Rooted Devices?

So until/if we are able to get Google Wallet working, we are stuck with Isis. Just installed on my new Droid Max's but getting "This phone has been rooted" error.
Anyone have a workaround to get Isis working on a rooted Maxx/Ultra/Moto X?
***SOLVED / EDIT***
Got this working, please don't thank me as I just compiled other people's work!
1. Root device using PwnMyMoto by JCase:

5. Activate the Xposed Isis Bypass Plugin under "Modules" in the Xposed app.
6. Reboot, install Isis and you should be ready to go!
Thanks to anyone else who helped develop any of the above apps, tricks, and tools.

Have you all tried this? my Maxx gets here later this week, but that was what I planned on using.

Can you deny access to root when it prompts, or does it just detect the su binary

the one I posted? It gives you the option to customize if you're on GB, JB, and also an AOSP function, along with what carrier, then when installing it asks for root, reboots, and then you have the Google Wallet app next to it afterwards.

Does not prompt, just detect somehow. I thought I had solved the problem by going into SU and click "Temp Unroot", then was able to continue with Isis setup and put all my CC's in. Went back into SU, unchecked "Temp Unroot", however my root got messed up and had to re-root. Once re-rooted, Isis went back to giving me the same error message :/
Any other workarounds?

Also just tried the XPosed workaround that seems to have worked on the S4 and doesn't seem to be working for me.

Been using ISIS for a few days now in NYC and love it. Every cab has a sensor for NFC and luckily I have Amex and Chase so can use both of them!
I know people love Google wallet but it seems NFC payments aren't coming on Verizon.
So how do we get ISIS to work and be rooted at the same time!?!?

Got it working, please see OP for details!

Doesn't work for me. Followed instructions to the t. Launch Isis and it asks for root. Hit deny and it force closes after a few seconds. I start it again and it tells me device is rooted.

The new version of the Isis app isn't compatible with this. The dev will need to update the module.

I tinkered around some, and I discovered this solution which is currently working on my MAXX:
Delete ISIS.
Install Xposed.
Install XPrivacy.
Reinstall ISIS, but do not run it yet.
There will be a notification to configure ISIS permissions in XPrivacy.
The only thing you need to restrict is Shell (commands, superuser).
Run ISIS. You should be able to log in successfully.

Or. Wait 2-3 weeks for 4.4 and Google Wallet.

This method worked for me, but I had to find the proper xposed module on another thread, Got my old serve account linked up and a google wallet card in the mail too.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425346
Updated the app/module to v2.0, got it working for me.

Isis does the job, but its awkward loading money onto my amex first. I miss GW.

AdAway (Fully working) with tutorial

Root is required for this application. Thanks to DesignGears & Chainfire for putting in the work for root to be on our phones.
Please try method 1 and 2 before posting that it doesn't work. Let me know which one worked for you in the comments.
_________________________________
Method 1 :
Download FDroid from this link - https://f-droid.org/FDroid.apk
Open FDroid and download AdAway.
Some have reported that this AdAway will install the host file without any issues.
_________________________________
Method 2 :
Download AdAway here - http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490004670
(All credit for the link goes to mrRobinson)
After you have installed and opened the app -
Click "Download files and apply ad blocking"
The app is going to crash, don't worry!
Re-open the application and click "Download files and apply ad blocking" again
This time it will give you a pop up saying "Copying of host file failed", once again don't worry!
Now click the refresh button in the top right, and now for the last time click "Download files and apply ad blocking"
You will now be told that it was successful and to restart.
This is how I got it to work, I apologize if it does not work on your device.
Please click the thanks button if this worked for you.

I tried to get the the app from that website but they want you to download it through a store. And I don't know about others but it hangs on downloading icons or something. So the only way I got the app was from mrRobinson post. According to him its the same app, but he just compiled it from the source from the Devs website.

I just installed it normally with no problems. Never even had a crash the first time.

I'm not rooted (yet), but all of my rooted device AdAway just works. So I really don't see any reason for the AdAway NOT to work if your phone is rooted. Unless I'm missing something here...

This was just my experience with it. I have used adaway on other devices and it just installed with no problem. I posted this because I had seen some other people were having issues with it, so I was just letting people know how I got it to work.

I downloaded my AdAway from f-Droid, but I've seen the same crash behavior.
After the crash, the download and apply worked on the first try.
(The first time, I had to flash back to stock and re-root. The second time applying AdAway blocking took a couple of tries before it went through (6 more specifically))

you can try adaway 2.3 official
or
AdAway-release_Build-10.09.13
the new release is working like a charm

Mine also hung on downloading icons....so i went to playstore and seached for busybox...downloaded and installed newest version by jrummy....installed box and then tried the app again and install flawlessly....doesnt mean it will work for everyone but it worked for me...:good::laugh:

I just install it from fdroid. I don't really use a lot of stuff from there as it's mostly in the market, but I do for this one so I don't have to look for updates on a website etc.

i dled it from fdroid also, it didnt work at first, would just hang up on applying the files but i rebooted and it was successful the first try

Thanks for the feedback. I will update the thread to have both methods shortly

I've found supersu leaving dozens of sudaemon's around which sometimes breaks root entirely (until you reboot) or sometimes you can manage to get su to work and then kill apps.
Adaway seems to potentially be a leading cause of this, or maybe it's just the obvious victim, I'm not sure. But I often find it's complaining it could not apply the hosts file, so I get into a shell, find a bunch of stray sudaemon's, kill them, then it's happy again.
I think there's still some tweaking that can be done for su on 4.3.

All I did was install Fdroid, then
Go into to terminal and type this
su
restorecon -R -v /data/data
Then install adaway and run as normal

Use FDroid
Just a quick heads-up. I used FDroid to install AdAway yesterday...no problems, loaded first time and enabled without a hitch. A word to the less experienced Android (Note 3) flashers like myself.
OFF TOPIC Question: What's the best Terminal Emulator to use for someone like me, who wants to learn to use a TE?? Your assistance would be most appreciated.
Thanx...Chief

[MOD] [DARK] Pin Bypassed Exchange Email

I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47556103 in another forum. Credit and thanks to @Apas[email protected] You can take advantage of the apk in the following fashion:
Download both apks https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B7379qhBA5bnVEc0TFMzY2h1LWM/edit
Move both to system/priv-app
Set permissions to rw-r-r (I use root explorer)
Freeze the LG Exchange Email apk (I use Titanium Backup)
Reboot and set up your exchange account.

Thanks for this so pleased to have a bit of darkness back on my phone and also to be able to swipe away emails again ??

Will this work on any firmware version? I did this on another phone in the past and it was just a headache every time a software update came out- you'd need to grab new updated versions of the email and exchange apks (if someone had made them).

These are apks. Insofar as I am aware, the Google email and exchange apks are only available to Nexus devices through Google play, so they'd never get updater.

I tried this method but didnt worked. So after I tried to find an other way... installed some Exchange Bypass modules from Xposed, but still not worked. After a while I found "Lockscreen Disabler" in Xposed modules and its working well.
So shortly: Install Xposed Framewerk and install "Lockscreen Disabler" module.

Well, it's working fine for me and my fiancee, and several others as well. I'm familiar with Xposed and the modules you referenced, but have not had to use them in conjunction with the modified apks.

You didn't actually; you made a few vague comments that make me wonder if you followed the outlined process. In any event, I'm glad it's working for you.

The op way does work and it is a lot safer for me as I like to have my phone pin protected. Can't be doing no Lock screen mod.

[Q] how to show MaaS360, that my device in NOT rooted? :)

Hello Team.
I have a unusual situation. :>
I have my HOS rooted and CandyKat ROM installed. Everything is working just fine
Unfortunately, I have to install MaaS360 app to authorize my dev in our corporate network. After installation, I can not move forward, since MaaS360 indicates, that my dev is rooted ;>>
Q: what should/can I do, to have my HOS indicating as un-rooted but still have my lovely Candy ROM installed?
hboot2.16 etc. in place... ;>

Could you try revoking root rights from that MaaS360 app in superusrr

well.. the MaaS360 is taking the control over whole dev after installation, so I don't think this can be so easy... nevertjeless, I'll try

well.. ;>
it didn't work BUT, my Lotus Notes is working.. ;D so the MaaS360 is notifying about broken rules, rooted dev, but LN is working fine.. ;D interesting..
in case the MaaS360 will wipe my data due to rooted dev - any idea how to tell this f*** tool to treat it as unrooted dev?

I know for sure that was an app in play store that was fooling some other apps you have root (so the other way around). It could be that a similar app exists. Have you tried for ex an xposed module that block some rights of apps? Xposed works at system level so it could do the job...

I'm not sure, which "xposed" app you proposed - there are few of them in the play store.. nevertheless, I tried to use some simple methods, like remove su & busybox from the /system/xbin - unfortunately it didnt work.. any other sug's? in a worst scenario, I'll buy another used HOS, but I don't really want to do that..
update:
I tried things like:
RootCloak
SuperSu - Full unroot
no success..
update2:
lest take it from the other side..
let's say I wanted to have my dev rooted only to change the ROM.. I already installed my new ROM and I don't really need the root anymore.. what should I do to un-root my dev without going back to stock ROM? I don't really know what this MaaS360 is checking to find the dev. rooted.. (well, maybe google knows, I'll check in the meantime)

solution found... ;>
the helpful soft is....: RootCloak Plus!
and this is the whole procedure I made...
0) I installed and tried to run MaaS360 - this will allow you to add proper app to RootCloak in next steps
1) I run the SuperSu and used the "Full unroot" option - it will remove su and busybox from the /system/xbin
2) I downloaded and installed RootCloak
3) I added from the list following app: com.fiberlink.maas360.android.control
4) I removed MaaS360 completely - first stop the app in options, then remove from apps
5) I restarted the dev
6) I run the RootCloak to check if my added app is still added ;>
7) I downloaded and installed the MaaS360 again
8) After giving my credentials, the app configured its desktop and works just fine...
I'm just wondering if I can reinstall back SuperSu (because RootCloak should prevent MaaS360 from recognize my dev as rooted), but I don't actually need SuperSu right now, so I'll just enjoy my corpo apps on my phone..
In case of questions, please let me know
Thanks for all help and directions!

Don't suppose you have a second phone to play with? Because you can login on that while derooted, then root it and titanium backup the app, which you can restore on any rooted device and it'll be logged in.
