Need an app to hide root access - General Questions and Answers

So I used to use Root Cloak with xposed on android 4.4.4 because I use an application that will only allow access if the device isnt rooted (its a company device).
I upgraded to android 5.0 and root cloak isnt working anymore because xposed isnt supported. Does anyone know a way around this or an alternative app? Much appreciated.

RootSwitcher
I have created a small easy to use App to temporary disable root.
I hope this helps. If not sorry.

Hide root for play store app "vipps"

Hello,
I'm trying to use an app from the playstore called "vipps".
It's from a bank in norway called DNB, and it let's you transfer money near instantly from one to another.
This app refuses to run on my phone because it's rooted and have a custom rom etc.
I'm running Xtrestolite Deodexed with the included alliance firmware.
I have read somewhere about Rootcloak Plus with Cydia (no idea what this really is, but i understood cydia is like app store for iOS jailbreaked phones?)
I'm wondering if this exsists on 5.0.2 lollipop (and how to get it / install it if it does), or if there is any other known way of bypassing this applications refusal to run on my device.
I'm on a SM-G920F (international version) if that helps.
Any tips / questions / help regarding this is most welcome and much appreciated!

I tried to get xposed, but it's not yet compatible with the S6 as far as i know.
Something about SDK version 21 and arm 64 (no idea what this is, but that was the error when trying to install it)

Cydia is for ios based devices and if s6 had xposed that module called root cloak will work for what you need it for. but since theres no xposed. You cant run it.
I second that!
I have the exact same problem! Please let me know if you find a way to bypass the app restrictions!
Same here:
Cyanogen OS 12.0, android 5.0.2, OnePlus One
Tried RootCloak plus app, add no.dnb.vipps app but still does not open.
I have the same issue with a Huawei running 4.4.4 Vipps by DNB does not work.. Xposed says that there is a known issue with the room installed. I deactivated the Resource hoocks, but it did not solve the issue.. BALLS!!

Hi,
I was able to fix the Vipps issue by using Rootcloak version 1.4 (not the newest one), and adding no.dnb.vipps to the list.
Works like a charm on SGS6
Hope this helps!
OPO CyanogenOS 12.1.1 Android 5.1.1 rootcloak vipps
I have a oneplus one With CyanogenOS 12.1.1-YOG7DAS2K1 and android version 5.1.1. The phone is rooted and I have twrp installed.
I used twrp to install Xposed framework 85 trough the link provided in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Within the xposed installer app I downloaded the module RootCloak version 2.1.0
In rootCloak I added no.dnb.vipps (add/remove apps -> three dots -> add custom app -> write "no.dnb.vipps")
Now I can run vipps without any problems.
Vipps on OPO running cm14.1
Sorry to bring up an old thread.
I've been using this Norwegian bank app on cm12/cm13 with rootcloak for a while now without any trouble. Lately the app just crashed on login when using rootcloak so i decided to flash cm14.1 nightly and see if systemless root and magisk would do the trick instead. I flashed cm14.1, fully unrooted the phone, flashed magisk and phhs systemless root. I downloaded SafetyNet playground, and my phone passes all SafetyNet checks. I also downloaded pokémon GO to verify, and that works flawlessly. Vipps however, does not work... The app does not crash anymore, but i get the message "vipps doesn't support rooted devices".
It seems to me like the app detects that i'm running cyanogenmod. When my oneplus one was new, the app wouldn't work even though i had a locked bootloader and no root. I actually had to unlock bootloader, root, flash xposed and install rootcloak to get it working.
Is there any workaround for this problem? It seems to me that rootcloak did something more than just hide the root from the app. Is this correct? I can upload the .apk file for Vipps if that would be of any help. The app force closes before login with the message "Vipps doesn't support rooted devices", so i dont think region will be a problem.
I too am curious of this.
Is there a way to "fool" an app from checking if there is a custom ROM or original ROM?
I assume the app only checks ROM info, and perhaps that can be easily edited?

com.android.phone
no.dnb.vipps
not sure if these are needed as well

Secure Settings cannot access Root

i'm not allowed to post directly into Android Development..
I installed Root with the help of jcase .
All seems to work properly (Adaway, Busibox, Total Commander etc. are functional with Root)
but Secure Settings shows at System+ : Root acces was not detected.
Is there a workaround or is that an limitation of this 'Systemless' Root method?
Thanks for reading this
I have the same issue. L Patcher also didn't but when I selected option to force root options it worked fine. Found there was Google Group to opt in for Secure Settings beta which I signed up for but never received an update so assume there's no current beta. Wrote dev email with details, but haven't heard back yet. I suggest you write him too (email in app) so that he can see many are being affected
I found the reason, why some apps doesn't recognize systemless root. Chainfire wrote that some app expected to have direct access to System-Partition and that must fail certainly
For these Apps we have to wait for updates
Does the secure setting work with root access ???
I have Nexus 7 2013 6.0.1 rooted it doesn't seem to work on my.

How Do You Bypass The Root Detection From Some Playstore Games

I've Tried "Hide My Root" (Can't Find SU binary even tho i updated it) and I've Tried Ropt Cloak Which Does Not Work With The App which Is Cartoon Wars 3. Need Help asap!!!
Look up magisk . It's a systemless root that allows you to use Android pay and allows you to set a time limit on being unroot. That might work for you.

AppLock cant get usage access on Android 5.1.1 WHat now ?

Hey
So I have a rooted Lenovo TB2-x30l running android 5.1.1-
It is rooted with Kingroot.
Now I am trying to install Applock and it wants usage access, sure i find the app in the list and i activate it.
But when I go back and try to lock apps again it asks for the same thing but it is already ON.....
I have even tried using the app (AppOps) to see if it has root acess and it has.
One strange thing I have found, I do not know if it is related is that under accessabiity and services Kingroot is ON and some other programs are OFF,
No matter which order I do it if I put kingroot OFF, or just try and put any other service on ON in 10min they will be reset like it was before again..... WHY ?
I do not have SuperSU installed, should I install that? Would that help somehow?
Thanks in advance!
Try alternate apps
If you root Your device with kingroot app, You wont have SuperSU. Instead, you'll have the same kingroot app to manage superuser rights. The kingroot app will do the same work you suppose SuperSU to do. Don't worry, thats not the issue. I too tried Applock app on my lenovo vibe smartphone without any luck. Use CM SECURITY app. It is an all-in-one security app with app lock feature. It's free and easy to use as well. It doesnt require root permissions. Check it out in Playstore.
Hope this helps!:good:

Root 7.1.1 on Merlin

Hi All,
Need help of this forum in solving a problem. The problem is in two parts.
1. I need to gain root access on my 7.1.1 on Merlin.
So can i use adb to gain root access ? Learnt something like this from giving elevated access to Greenify for doze. Can someone point to the right direction so that i can learn it to do myself and not depend on third party apps.
2. I have given administrator usages to Airwatch Agent which monitors whether i have root or not. If i gain root access then i lose the service and wont be able to view configured mails. So basically i need to root and not let all the apps know i have root. Somehow hide it.
Please guide. Thanks in advance.

Well, basically you are not going to get around AirWatch knowing you are rooted, even with Magisk if their Air Watch server is relatively current... I have tried and tried this (we sell and administer Airwatch for ourselves and lots of customers). Airwatch has been specifically designed to detect King*Root, SuperSU, and Magisk (and it's iPhone equivalents), and it uses far more advanced detection schemes than just SafetyNet, so far it hasn't been bypassed that we have seen on Android 6 and higher devices... (Android 5.1 and older have a different mechanism for bypassing root detection from Airwatch that apparently isn't possible with Marshmallow and higher). Also be aware that Airwatch will flag any device on a custom ROM of any kind too (rooted or not) as an incompatible device.
I don't think there is sufficient need for a detection bypass to be implemented into Magisk for Airwatch, and I am not sure the developers would even consider it, since it would be more about getting around a corporate security policy you agreed too more than just getting around some stupid restrictions from the Play Store or an app developer, but hey, it's worth a shot to ask I guess.
Getting around most apps knowing you have root is pretty simple with Magisk, but Airwatch and some of it's competitors MDM applications are much tougher to deal with.
To be honest you are better to just let Greenify go or to get a separate cheapo device just for your corporate email and keep root on your personal device.
Thats insightful.
Thanks a lot for the comments. I however have not seen Airwatch revoking my device enrollment even when i am running a custom ROM. It just checks whether i have root or not.
And can you guide how to use Magisk to root my Nougat on merlin.

Download Magisk and flash it... If your running a custom ROM with SuperSU or some other root built in, might want to ask in your ROM thread to see the right process.
Odd a custom ROM doesn't do anything weird... We have tried several ROM's on our Nexus device and every one will not allow device enrollment.
Confused

I flashed magisk. It rooted my device. Could use greenify with root and lucky patcher with root too. Which means i have got root access. Now comes Airwatch Agent. It asked for root access And i denied it. So now my device is not unenrolled and i am able to use configured mails successfully. Happy. But confused.

So latest Magisk is not seen by AirWatch... Nice. I'll have to play with it again.
But there's a new problem now.

I lost the root. Dont know why. I actually tried installing supersu from playstore which asked something like- do you want to copy binaries to somwhere and i said yes. To that effect my device was unenrolled by Airwatch Agent. Then i removed supersu and i was able to enrol my device again. But the next morning i am noy rooted anymore. Lucky patcher says root is not stable. Don't know what to do.

You can't mix SuperSU and Magisk... after you flash Magisk you need to install Magisk Manager, but it isn't in the Play Store.
And BTW, don't mention Lucky Patcher here... that is purely a pirating app and users of it are thieves.
I will not assist you with anything to do with that software.

I am sorry if i offended the community. I installed it as a means to achieve background play of YouTube as till Marshmallow, this was beautifully done by xposed mods. But as for Nougat as xposed is still in development, i needed that app.
I was not aware of other uses of that app. Nor do i have any further intention. Actually i tried using OG Youtube and the other app which was needed but that provided for popup only. Hope you understand.

Not really... Background playback on YouTube is a paid service, no matter how you bypass that it's stealing.
Trust me, I don't like it either but I'm not going to steal the service
