There are some things that will allow you to temp unroot while you use apps like that but for a complete work around there is no option. Rooting is seen as a security flaw and that is why banking apps have made it so they dont work if root is detected.

Do you know what I can use to temp unroot my phone?
Have you actually checked whether or not your bank app checks for root?
I use my banking app all the time without any problems on a rooted phone.

Not all apps allow it. My banking app for the federal credit union doesn't allow rooted devices.
As for wanting the app. Check the market for temp unroot

Like others said it depends on the bank.
Since the op is in the UK, im guessing it's barclays i'm pretty sure they are the only uk bank who blocks root users. @Mubz_C you should go to Halifax, it's better

Ha... Even Halifax have said their next update will be an app that won't work on rooted devices, hopefully one of these root cloak apps will suffice as a workaround.

You had to expect it. I mean root is a security issue on devices. Last thing you need is a root app that has a built in Key logger.
Need help.. root cloack+xposed, magisk (hide root) can not help?
Please mandiri bank app still detect super su, busy box, xposed

There is no way to hide Xposed, u'll have yo disable it. Magisk works well if u don't have Xposed.

Are you in the same situation as me where ads are blocked on WiFi but not on mobile data? If so then I haven't found a solution as of yet and I've tried numerous adblocking apps/zips. It may have something to do with PA but it's not the kernel since I get the same issue on Franco as well.
adfree android works great! but youll have to search google for it, as ad removing/blocking apps arent allowed in the play store anymore.

I've gotten used to it now so it doesn't really affect me too much but if you really want it try backing up your ROM and flashing a different one to confirm it's a PA issue and not something else.

He said it stopped working. He could be using the really outdated version that was on the Play Store. AdAway has received a couple updates since its removal from Google Play.
For me, AdAway is working just fine so.. its most likely due to using a outdated version

Yeah, I didn't get this issue on stock or on any ROM for my old HD2 but I do on PA which is quite odd. Still, I'm not too concerned since it seems to block some of the more intrusive popup ads and I don't seem to get many ads on YouTube.
I realize that I'm probably stating the obvious, but by blocking apps you are depriving developers of revenue.
Most Android devs are small shops. Without revenue, they'll simply concentrate on other platforms that ensure ad revenue (cough, cough Apple!). Is that something you really want to contribute to?

do they receive revenue from just having the ads visible or do you have to actually click on them? if you have to actually open the ad then I don't see how ad blocking software deprives them of anything, let's face it if you use ad blockers(and I don't) then you obviously have no intention of clicking on any ads

My understanding is that revenue can be generated from both impressions and clickthroughs.

You can`t, requires changing default system setting and thus root. Rooting is a piece of cake and offers much more advantages than only color/gamma settings bro.
I would love to root but allot of us use out phones for banking like Barclay mobile banking if you root the app wont work so this is why we need to find another solution.
Custom kernel?

It's possible to disable root temporarily you know for apps that don't work with root.

I know you do not want to root but I know some of these 4.3 roms actually are not rooted at first and you have to flash SuperSu. Now you can flash a rom you like set it up how you want it and then remove SuperSu which the app has the feature built in and you will have a stock rom with the colors you like and your Barclay app will work.
Edit: I use Google Wallet and SuperSu, when I turn off root with SuperSu I do not get the unsupported device error
Many people I know would love this! My company does not allow rooted devices to access the corporate network.

I agree, that does not look correct at all. That would be like asking for root access when we use my verizon app, to see how much data we've used for the month
Well, that's interesting.
It suggests that asurion is adding apps prior to shipment.
Could you check to see whether it was installed as a system app (instead of in /data/app)?
Also it would be useful to look in the system manifest (.xml file in /data/system somewhere) to find out what privileges it has?
e.g. with network + other privs (device serial #) it could have already turned you in, as it is not normal for a "su" binary to be present in non - rooted devices, whether or not you granted the app root rights.
I am also curious if the boilerplate legal docs you signed with asurion have you granting consent for them to monitor you... mind looking that up?
Sure I can look that up.. I did dent that request

Well, I'm guilty of not looking on my own device.
VMS.apk is part of the distro. Kinda odd that the package name starts with com.asurian. rather than com.vzw. or com.verizon. though - maybe Verizon farmed out the app development.
And apparently the packages.xml format has changed since the last time I looked at it, but the app manager lists privileges anyway. VMS.apk has "READ_LOGS" privs along with network connectivity. It could easily rat you out with along with a specific device ID even without root privileges.
Very strange that it would ask for root - it already has quite an extensive set of privileges.
It is a root app
before you root your phone it has root access. Once you root your phone it the application has to ask permission. I accepted mine because I was curious. Nothing happened.

Correct if you want to uninstall them, but you can "disable" bloat from the applications section in the settings to free up memory and to cut down on unnecessary processes without needing root.
I'm not sure how the US carriers will handle this issue, but all of my carrier-specific apps were uninstallable on my Korean Note 4. Samsung and Google services have been hit-or-miss. But then again, there was specific legislation passed here on this very subject last year.

Like that stupid flip board app.
Sprint has been pretty good about being able to straight uninstall all those useless programs they load once you activate. The rest has to be root uninstalled to remove. I've been using Samsung devices for awhile and most have to be rooted to remove their extra features.
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
Can't you just disable them? They'll still take up space but they won't run.
uninstalling some of the applications, especially from google or samsung could break other things seemingly unrelated, so much better way is to freeze them, but you need root. greenify has some option to stop apps from starting on boot up, not 100% sure, but I think it works even without root.
greenify is limited without root, but it is a start.
Does anyone know when the ATT note 3 was able to root?

Thanks both - the Barclays app doesn't like (won't run on) rooted phones, or CyanogenMod (I believe), which is a real pain.
Just did a live chat with OnePlus, 'Danielito' assures me that it will run!
If it can't, install xposed then install RootCloak, configure it to work for Barclay's app then reboot. Worked for me for my bank app which doesn't work on rooted device before

Thanks for your interest. I have never found a way of getting the Barclays app to work on a rooted phone, and as far as I'm aware neither has anyone else. I actually have a rooted phone right now - Jiayu S3 - and whatever I've tried, the app still won't run (it says it can't run on rooted devices).
And to be honest, I just want to be able to install the app without having to do anything else!

I've tested myself and yeah, rootcloak no longer works. U may have just to settle on www.barclays.mobi if you wanna use on rooted devices.
The developers of rootcloak stated that Barclays app was updated to utilize the method of detecting through native library which is very difficult to bypass/hide away.

I have updated my post above with the explanation. Basically at the current moment the app wont run on any rooted device unless someone found a new way to bypass it. This is not a device specific issue. It applies to all rooted devices by how the root binary logic works.
And if you're not gonna root, yeah it will work
Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk
Just to clarify, the OP2 doesn't come rooted so you should be fine with the app.
Very wrong. The Barclay's App wouldn't run on dual SIM phones. They're such clowns.
I left Barclay's over this final straw and went to Lloyds.
But you still have to manage without root.
Exactly! Barclay banking app developers are f**king clowns!!! bought my self a zenfone 2 today (which is also dual sim) and the app wont even open. it just crashes. Spoke to barclays customer services and tech people and guess what they said?.... Said their app does not support Intel processors..... I MEAN WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K!!! what do they want me to do? sell my £200 phone and by another crappy spec one just to run there app? Absolutly ridiculous, iam fumin!
I ran Barclays app on my stock OnePlus 2 for over 2 years without any issue.
