Hi,
So a few weeks ago "VSCO cam" the well-Known picture editing apps for android devices stopped working on my CM11 Nexus4
I contacted support Thinking It was A problem with their Latest update.. But, After a few emails they asked If my device was rooted
I told them that I run CM11 which By default is Rooted and that was his reply:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So my questions is:
How is that even possible ? do the app scan the OS for root ?
and if that was the case, Is there a way to "fake-un root" the device or something ?
Are there any Apps you know that will not work on rooted device other than VSCO ?
PS : If this was the wrong forum I'm truly sorry I thought this thread fits here.
And i might want to add: is there a workaround or fix? I tried to unroot and reinstall and it still doesnt work. I also tried to reinstall backup via Titatium which was mentioned somewhere - didn't help... Neither did setting restrictions in privacy app management.I really like the editing tools and variety of filters (especially since they did cost money)
Customer service insists that it is their policy now... Can you maybe cloak the rooting status?
Ps: root cloak via xposed framework does not work...
Somehow it did work in the end... I dont even have root cloak any more and everything works fine. U just dont know why... ?

Hi everyone my name is yuval and I have a problem with my phone 'Samsung Gulaxy SL i9003'.
I bought my device almost 3 yers ago. I bought it from abraod and I brought it to my country. After a while I discovered that I can't update the android verison so I have been stuck with android 2.2.1
A friend told me about a way to update with cooked rom. Soon, I found myself looking in all forums for a good one, with explanations.
today I dont sure if my device rooted beacuse I did someting but I cant do recovery or, I dont really know how to do it .
first I have installed all the drivers on my computer. then, I did backup to my phone .I went through all the steps in the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
(I download SuperOneClick and enter "ROOT"). After that, an app called Superuser was added to my applications list.
Now I want to install 2 things, jelly been/ice cream and plugin of beats audio. the problem is that I dont know how to do that.
should I change the kernel version ? and maybe I didn't root it right.
Please help me,I'm so confused, I need explanations step by step how to : root my phone right
do recovery
install rom and other developers's app
I added a picture of my phone's settings and a picture of an app from the Play Store called "Root Checker Basic"
Tank you all !
yuval

HELLO EVERYBODY!!!
i have been flashing roms for a long time now,and the first thing i learned when a app gave me a force close was to run fix permissions in recovery, i even know people who after flashing a rom, always fix permissions at the end, then reboot ..
but if you like me are running philz this option is no longer available..i searched and found a app which does exactly
the same thing as the one i knew in recovery..
The benefit from this app is that you don't need to reboot into recovery to fix those apps that are FC,and you can also fix permissions for anly the app which gives you a fc...

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
the app is called:fix permissions(ofcourse)from its creator Stephen(stericson)
and it can be found in the playstore
its free and there also is a donate-version..
what does fix permissions do?
Sometimes flashing roms, playing with permissions, or performing other root operation can cause the Android system to forget which UID is associated with an application. In reality it does not forget this, it just issues the app a new id and is oblivious to the fact that it already had an id. When this occurs some apps can start force closing due to the UID mismatch between the UID that the system has assigned to the app and the UID that owns that apps data directory,this app will/might solve this problem.
thanx for sharing....
Thanks for this info! I was wondering if you know HOW TO actually fix the permissions of the apps in the list. I can't tell if there's an easy way to do all the apps in the list at the same time or not. Any idea about that?
Hi there,, it's my first time to share this little trick of removing bloatwares that comes after rooting and root didn't finish and give you bloatwares
I have galaxy grand neo I9060I,, I wish to root this phone everyday and I already use many root one click app and also by using Pc but nothing rooted
Last time I use kingroot by pc I rooted it then later after seeing it takes so much time I decided to cancel but after that when I scrolling my screen I found a so many bloatwares that can't uninstalled and also don't showing in apps manager

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So after that I get confused how to remove and I asked my friends about how to remove they say I need to root and remove by purify but as known can't root this phone so I tried to find the way and found This ::
I switched off the phone then I activate safe mode after turning on I started to explore my home screen I didn't found any bloatwares in safe mode so next I switched off the phone and remove the battery and turn on ohh those BLOATWARES are gone.

Hello,
I would suggest you to stop looking to run this app on your device, since it is region specific.
Even if you bypass the security, It will still show rewards region specific itself.

1.go to product/hw_oem/your model/prop
2. We edit local.prop, substituting device model, we delete local.prop.bak we reboot

thanks, anyone confirm this is working? And is this dangerous against hackers since we are rooted and have credit card info on the device?

Android pay checks for root access and will not function on normal rooted devices, changing your build.prop file has nothing to do with it. Magisk is supposed to cloak its root access and there are some apps on the play store that are supposed to cloak it but I have never been able to get them to work reliably
