NoFrills CPU - Asking for Root on Rooted phone - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi,
All other apps that require root seem to request it - NoFrills CPU doesn't and consequently offers me no option other than to close the app. Just says "...Root access requires..." - without the usual dialogue affording me the chance to grant it.
Anyone else seen this?
Trying to get a little more life out of my Galaxy S6 by trying a few tweaks.
Thanks...

Go into the super user app and see if it shows up there. If it does, grant it root from there.

I can't see an option to manually add any apps in the SU App...??

I did not say there was any.
I only asked to go inside the app and see if no frills is there with a root denied entry.
Maybe you can set default access to granted. This means that any app will get root access without asking you for permission.

thanks, but tried that too - so all apps requiring root are granted it automatically....still asks for root when I start it up.
I did try another app that required root access (can't recall what it was though) and it said that SU wasn't in the expected directory???
Is that any help?

It may cause the problem. How did you root?
By the way, why don't you simply try another app. Kernel adiutor for example. It does the same stuff as no frills, maybe it does it even better.

Flashed CF-Root
Yeah you're right, using CPU Tuner, seems to do the job. Also installed Xposed and using Amplify with Greenify and I have to say I have noticed a MASSIVE difference already today
Thanks for your feedback as ever!

[Q] Setcpu denied superuser access, help?

Setcpu is denied superuser access everytime I open the app. Opening superuser allows me to see that it's been denied in the "log" tab, but doesn't allow me to force superuser to grant access. It doesn't show up as denied in the "apps" tab, or at all for that matter in that tab. Is there a way to force superuser to grant access to setcpu? Any suggestions on how to get superuser access granted to setcpu would be appreciated. BTW, I'm running tweaked 2.2, 0524 pbj, solidICS theme.
Does clearing data from superuser work?
You have one of two things set. Either you told Superuser to deny all apps that request root, or you told Superuser to always deny SetCPU. Make sure that you have it set to prompt when root is requested, and that you don't have anything stored for SetCPU for auto-allow/deny.

Did that, unfortunately superuser is denying access to everything now. I rooted and that didn't fix it, still denies everything.

I have superuser set up to prompt on request. I just downloaded setcpu today and have not been able to get it to allow access in any way. Superuser hasn't given me the ability to auto-allow or deny setcpu. It only displays in the log tab, which doesn't allow me to click on it and dig deeper like it would if it were in the apps tab.
Got it to work for setcpu and everything else that was being deny after clearing superuser data. I reinstalled superuser from the zip in recovery and now it's allowing superuser access as it should. Thanks for the the suggestions.
I had fixed this but uninstalling and reinstalling the update from the market.

Giving su rights to an app on a not rooted device

Hey guys,
This is the wrong place forum, but I like you guys, so I will ask you a question
Say there is an app that requires root (in this case Cisco AnyConnect rooted version), but I do not want to have root access enabled from within Android OS. Is there a way to install the app with automatic root access? E.g. by flashing it from within the recovery?
Thanks,
Su
Do it need root access or system permissions ?
If it needs root, you must have "su" in android OS.
If it needs system permisssions, you could push it in /system/app/ or /system/priv-app/ (more access than /system/app/)
Hmm, from the description, it seems like root access... ah well, from the CM11 SuperUser settings, seems like it is possible to automatically deny root access to all requests, and only allow selected apps.
Perhaps this is a better way to set up the device...

every app that wants SU permission should be prompting you the first time to allow or deny it.
if any app gets SU permission without you allowing it, something is wrong.
what i dont understand is, you said the phone is NOT rooted, then mentioned cm11. if you are running cm11, your phone is already rooted.

[Q] Temp Unroot needed for NowTV . --- (A) This has now been Answered in Post 9

****EDIT****
Please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56539897&postcount=9 for the Answer
*************
Hi all ,
I'm wanting to use NowTV (like SkyGo) on my OnePlus , however they are using a type of Root check that most root hiders cannot bypass.
Therefore I'm looking for a way to temp unroot and then root back again with ease.
just wondering if there are any tools or easy to follow guides?
thanks
Disable Superuser in SuperSU settings.

Or if you are on a Cm nightly you can turn them off in the developer option
Disabling super user doesn't work, their detection method is unknown and they check more than the su binary.
I might try the nightlies, however I need stability.
Thanks for the responses so far
Outside of the nightly wing if you want stability use the M releases, they are designed to be more stable than the nightly branch

The problem isn't really the SuperSU as such, it's CM. They flag CM as a rooted ROM, it'll even happen if you're on stock un-rooted CM11S.

I'm pretty sure that I saw an xposed module that could hide superuser completely. Might want to give that a try

As per my post right above yours, it isn't SU that's the problem, it's that the ROM is CM.

Timmaaa is correct and that's the info I wanted, I had tried the xposed modules but none worked and now I know why.
I'll contact sky and see if I get anywhere
****EDIT****
So it seems that Timmaaa is NOT correct as there is NO CyanogenMod or any ROM check, it's all to do with the the name of your Root App
Short Version is unroot and uninstall SU app for this to work (removing SU Binary or removing Root alone is not enough)
So we need to have a new Root app with a new AppID and name , and also the SU binary to be identified as something else for this to possibly work.
I now have NOWTV working , and it's on an Unrooted One+One with no SU App installed after running full Unroot (however my SUPro app is still installed)
Note that SUPro does nothing really and just gives extra functionality when the main SU app is installed.
Thanks for everyone help and input on this.
So it seems that you would have to
1)Full UnRoot (Which also uninstalls the main SuperUser app)
2) Watch what ever you wanted to on NowTV or SkyGO
3)Go through the Rooting process again as if it were a new device. (which will again stop NOWTV/SkyGo) from working.
Do steps 1 and 2 again to watch.
This would have to be done everytime you want to watch NowTV

This is just a theory... may be wrong:
Can't you move the SuperSU app into /system/app instead of /data/app. Or does the NOWTV app have perms to check the integrity of /system also. Or can you change the app id of the SuperSU app with a simple decompile tool.
I did that while using cm11s. But still had problems trying to watch skygo. In the end I had alter my buildprop to a phone which supports skygo as at the time it didn't support oneplus one. Then full unroot etc to watch then root back to get root access again.

[Q] Looking for a way to make an app think a device is not rooted

I have a certain app that I need to use that will not run on a rooted device. My root app is SuperSU, and by disabling superuser in the settings the app will run, but I can't make it work without disabling it. It doesn't even give me a prompt to ask for root permission - the app must just be looking somewhere for the su binary or something.
Is there a way to make an app think that a device is unrooted without disabling root access?

Xposed framework with Root Cloak module. It doesn't always work, but it often does, so give that a try.

S7 temp root for UPSM manager

I want to have fb messenger in ultra power saving mode (UPSM). for that i need to use the UPSM Manager app which requires root. I really do not like to root, because more and more apps are blocking rooted devices (Barclays banking, android pay, pokemon go). So I am asking if there exists some methods for gaining temp root (e.g. with adb). so i can install and use upsm-m once and then reboot and root is gone. It is important that the flag is not flipping.
Thank you for all your help

Nope, and even if you could, the app would fail as soon as root was removed

I expected that, on my old htcs there were temp roots available.
But the failing of the app after removing root, is not a problem. The app is just a configfile creator. Since the config file has changed, the app is not needed anymore.
