I have to run this Airwatch container agent on my phone for work, but if it's root the agent fails. Is there a way to make the agent think that the phone isn't rooted, when it really is?
Thanks for any thoughts

I use "Hide my root" from the play store, works great!

Have you been able to use Android Pay using this app?
I have it set up and was able to add cards, but haven't actually used it yet. But until I hid root I couldn't add cards, so I think it might work! It worked for the old soft card app!

i was giving some thoughts on the parallel space and how it creates a virtual environment to run apps. so could it also able to hide root from apps if they are installed in parallel space? could it be possible?
If you're using Magisk there is an option to select apps to hide root from.

It might be possible but your app choices are limited.
On the same line of thinking though the island app creates an android work profile. I've used it to hide bank apps from root with good success.

nice, it's a safer when you have to use some trash apps on your phone.

so i tried running the bank app 'tez' in island app and it didn't work. tez still found out that the device is rooted. island app may work for some apps but not for all.

yes all the checks are passed and I'm able to hide root from some banking apps but this "tez" app is really clever to detect root (maybe becuz developed by Google)

and what if you hide the paralel app also?
Did you randomize the magisk manager apk name?

no i didn't. I tried once randomizing it but then magisk stopped working for me and I again had to re-install it. maybe it's fixed in the latest release if someone can confirm.
Can't find a way to make autofill work in apps.
It works in Chrome but not in the apps. Is there any way to enable it?
it works right away for me
when filling pass and id, it will ask whether to use auto fill, as long as you choose yes, then it will use it next time you need to fill anything.
It works for me in Chrome but not work in the external apps. It works for you also in the external apps?

Yes, all apps. Except banking of course, which i manually override.
Instagram, Starbucks app, and even XDA all working with autofill
Fixed. Thanks!
I recently picked up a dji osmo 3 - a stabilizer gimbal.
I do not know why, but the app demands location access. It will not allow you to use the app if you do not grant it. I even tried granting permission and then while using the app revoking permission - the app then prompts you again for location access without anyway to denying access and still use the app.
I was wondering if there's some way to make the app think it has location access? Maybe just feed it a bogus set of GPS coords?
I'm guessing there is, but I'm also guessing I need to at least be rooted, which i am not. I'm using a Note 10+ 5g with verizon, not rooted/stock rom.
I'd conside rooting the phone though if that's required.
Thanks

I think you'll find that interesting.

Yes, it is commonly used on android, it is called "mock location".
There is more than one way or more than one app/tool that can be used. To find the method/app/tool that works best for you, do a google search for:
"Setup mock location on android"
Try the different methods that you find until one of them works for you.
As for rooting your device, if you got the device from Verizon, you probably won't be able to root the device because Verizon's devices all have locked bootloaders. The only way you would be able to root is if one of the universal rooting apps or rooting programs just happens to have an exploit that works on your device, but even that is a very slim chance because those kinds of apps and programs pretty much lost their effectiveness somewhere between android Marshmallow and Oreo.

Thanks, i'm doing that. Although so far using mock location seems to be an all or nothing approach - meaning EVERYTHING has a fake location or everything has the real location. I just want the one dji app to have fake data. Looks like the app you linked to is what i want, although it's outdated now. And requires root, which driodriven says I may not be able to do on my phone. I'll have to look into it further.
FYI, i found a link to an updated version of xprivacy - https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xprivacylua6-0-android-privacy-manager-t3730663 - i haven't found out yet if this new version requires the phone to be rooted...considering all it does i'd be surprised if it didn't.

I'm not sure there is a way to make it apply to individual apps separately.

I have 2 phones (same model) one rooted and the other one isn't. I have the same game installed on both phones, but when I open tapjoy on the rooted phone no offers for downloading apps or app actions appear, but on my non-rooted phone they do... So I really believe that tapjoy is somehow detecting root (I did magisk hide and safetynet pass).
All though I'm pretty sure tapjoy isdetecting root I did notice one weird thing on my rooted phone, when I search for "Alarmy" on Google Play it doesn't show up, but on my non-rooted phone it shows up in the play store (again same phone model and same android version! Android 11), this fact makes me uncertain if tapjoy is detecting root or not.
Does anyone know a solution or know what's going on?
Whether a phone's Android got rooted ( tampered in whatever way ) or not can easily be detected by any app.
People shouldn't believe that app developers aren't smart enough to detect it: they simply have to look inside vbmeta files and check for content of 2 bytes on fixed address.

Yes, but there would still be a workaround.
What explains the Alarmy situation though? Alarmy doesn't show up in the Google Play Store before the app is installed

It's obvious there would be a workaround, I was just hoping someone here knew it. If you know the exact method that they use to detect root it would be easy to make a workaround depending on the method.
I don't know what method is used in Tapjoy: it would require to decompile the APK and to look into app's source code.
FYI: I will certainly not do that.
Hello,
I was browsing around XDA the other day. I stumbled across the name of an app with a GitHub page. I am trying to remember the name of the app and cannot. It said it would allow root apps to function without actually rooting your phone. Does anyone happen to know what it is called?
I have a Pixel 4xl. I can and have rooted it before. However, even though I hid Magisks and excluded a app for a real casino I got banned. They tried to say it was because I was not able to be geolocated. However, the app confirmed with a message stating my phone was rooted.
I would like to be able to run AdAway without having to allow it to work via VPN. I already have a VPN which I use when I am not playing one of my online casinos. There are also a few more root apps I like. I would like to use them without any worry.
Thank you,
Rocky
what device?

Pixel 4xl I ended up finding the app. It was Shizuku. I did not get a change to read all about it when I first heard about it. The page I was viewing almost made it sound like a magisk replacement. Then, my phone died and I couldn't remember what it was called.
I wish there was an app or something that will allow this permissions for apps that need them to work better. However, remain undetectable at the same time. That would be great. There are a few root apps I love to install. However, root is not as popular as it once was to me at least.
that app allows running as adb shell, no root access can be provided.
