How to remove root (un-root) device without clearing apps and data?

I have an app that refuses to run because my Nexus 7 is rooted. So I would like to remove root and keep this app installed.

Not tried it my self but on SuperSU Play description it says that if you uninstall it, you will lose root:
NOTICE: A SPECIAL PROCEDURE IS NEEDED FOR UNINSTALLATION. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE APP, DO *NOT* JUST UNINSTALL IT, YOU *WILL* LOSE ROOT.
I would guess that if you have Super User installed, it would do the same thing.

I tried the "temp unroot" function of the superuser app and the app still recognized the root and refused to run.
I will try un-installing superuser now. Thanks for the idea, I will report back.

Some applications I believe look for the superuser application by name. So if it sees "superuser.apk" on the system it won't run. However, I know some in the past were able to be worked around by renaming the superuser application.
I don't know if this is still a valid method, but...yeah.

Try an app called OTA Root Keeper (voodoo). It will temp unroot. You then need to normally force close the app you are talking about and the run it and it should work.
When you are done if you use a lot of root apps you can the undo the temp unroot and be back to full root.
Some versions of su have that ability now too but I've not tried them yet... don't really have anything that cares if I am rooted any more.

I've tried using the temp-unroot feature of the superuser app and I was not able to do so. I wish I knew what this app was looking for.

Download supermanager from playstore, enable the root function in settings. Swipe over to tge next screen and select uninstall apps and uninstall superuser. Then reboot. That should do ut.

What app is it?

The app is called Jeppesen Mobile TC and you will only be able to download it if you have a 9-10 inch tab with honeycomb or ICS running. I managed to get the apk so if someone wants it to try please let me know.
I will try the above shortly. Many thanks!

I just tried this and it seems to have removed root like you said yet the application still thinks I have root. I un-installed the app and reinstalled it after rebooting.
The app runs fine on my gfs Nexus 7 which has never been rooted.
Hmmmmm

Hello. Can you explain the process you followed to make this app run in a Nexus 7. Because I downloaded the apk from a russian site in my Nexus 7 (non-rooted) and after the installation the app ask for me my name and activate number and I can´t do anything more.
Thank you for the help!

Jepp is subscription based. You need to buy a subscription to use the software.

I have a Nexus 7 too.
Can you start the app JeppTC like a demo?, because I can't see the "DEMO" button when I start the app.

What is filter installer?

From what I understand it is the process that filters apps that don't work for your phone. However, I've ran carat and it says I need to restart or kill it to obtain 5 hours of battery life. Can I disable it or what can I do? I am running stock rom, not rooted, completely stock. Thanks so much!

Don't know if you're still having this issue a month later.
Based on what you read, you can just disable it. You don't need a filter installer or a method of filter apps for your device. When you attempt to install apps for your device, the play store will let you know before installing that the app is compatible with your device.

Hi guys, are you sure that is the case? That the market app will check? I know it scans for malicious apps now in 2017/18, but what if you install an app on beta from dev's web site?? Durant the Filter Installer then kick in???
Cheers

Super SU has a option to unroot right in the app
BLACKED OUT LTE N4

yes it does but in pac a different superuser app is installed to the settings and there is no way to get that one out :/

I have always just flashed the SuperSu zip in recovery without problems

Why not just use a file explorer with root rights to uninstall system apps by going to
/system/app and deleting it?
Odds are you'll have a file explorer already.. don't see the point in an entire separate app just for that purpose.

You can't do that when it is preinstalled into the framework of the settings of a rom

Installing apps from apk

Anyone having problems using apps that are installed with an app? Mine immediately close and says the app stopped working. This is on the developer edition.

What do you mean by addons?? I've only rooted my device and added Xposed, Gravity Box, and App Ops

That's what I was talking about.. Those added programs. One of them could be causing your device issues.. Perhaps troubleshoot them to see if one of them is indeed causing it.

I disabled the xposed modules and uninstalled xposed. Still doesn't work. I'm going to try with a different apk

[q] lg l7 rooted or not?

Hi everyone! I have a question about LG P705 4.1.2 V20B. I tried to root my phone following this guide. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486512) First tried this one using framaroot but it didn't worked (App keeps crashing,or gives me error#7) then I tried this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448085) .After this process is done I installed SuperSu app from Play Store and I can use the apps that require root. But when I run a test using Root checker it says that my phone doesn't have a proper root access. So I wonder that if I wanna flash custom ROMS etc. Will I be able to do it ? Thanks!

And I am new to this kinda stuff so I dont know if I even need a root access for installing CWM and flashing ROMS. Can I install CWM and flash a custom ROM without having a root access? Thanks!
