I'm not quite following what you mean? Before you were rooted the vz navigator and vz hotspot apps aren't displaying message?
I recommend using google maps over the vz navigator if that is what you are using. Could you please provide some more details?

Before root both the vzw nav and the stock 3g hotspot app had nag screens stating provisioning required to use the apps. After root both apps now appear to fully work. Are these apps now unlocked, ie vzw is not going to see the use of these apps and charge me, or should I use other apps such as google nav and tether for root users?

AH! ok, now I think I've got what you're asking =)
You will still be charged to use these apps... Didn't know that the provisioning page disappeared with roote privileges though. I would recommend using google maps, as the newest version allows for offline use through caching, and I personally like it better, because its free.
As for the wireless tether, if you are just looking for simple internet access through tethering, I would use wireless tether for root from the market. If you are dying to use the VZW hotspot, there are 2 hacks to use it... The first involves starting the hotspot app, then toggling flight mode on and off, then going back into hotspot, and tyou should be good to teher. Method 2: Team black hat has a hack that allows you to use and update.zip to allow the hotspot to work without the fee. You will need to google around for it. This is more of a "not recommended, as it violates morals/ethics" kinda thing. Just an fyi.

Thank you, allready installed tether for root. Works great! I could care less about the nav app, but my wife feels she really needs it! (she couldn't find her way out of a paper bag). Again thanks!

I've been trying to use the crackle app but it gets a network error and stops at each point where a commercial is supposed to begin. I'm guessing this is because adaway is blocking the ads.
Is there a way to fix this or temporarily disable adaway, or possible remove the blocks for the ads crackle uses?
Thanks!
I am using add blocker. And don't have any problems.

Just wondering if there is any way to lock the wifi in the off position. Say for example I wanted to let my kids use the Nexus 7 but not be online and if they took the Nexus to the library or any public location to read books only or use the installed apps only offline and to make sure that they are not surfing the web etc?
Also wondering how to make the google play ALWAYS ask for a password? It seems to easy to make purchases which is a good for me but basically wondering if it is possible to make it so they are not able to purchase anything. Similar to the way Apple iPad works where there is a "enter password" for every purchase.
TIA
You can set a pin the market settings to prevent installs/purchases.
Also you can download an app blocker from the market and black list certain apps without a password. Including settings/play store/ etc. Set it up to block access to certain apps. I use a app blocker instead of the built in lock screen pin. To keep Wifey out my SMS when she feeling nosey.

You can try blocking the settings app with an app blocker AFAIK.
Thanks the app blocker will probably do what I am looking for.
As a heads up, this requires root and Xposed/Cydia Substrate. ART users run away!
So I had recently acquired a Hulu Plus account and, as we all know, it is littered with ads! What to do?!?!?! The first thing I tried was AdAway, but that didn't work :/ Apparently the app brings up this error screen when AdAway blocks the ad. So then I installed Root Cloak and applied it to Hulu. Presto! AdAway is able to block the app without detection! Huzzah!

Doesn't work, as soon as it gets to an ad the app crashes. Says there's an error, if I disable AdAway it works fine again.

Same thing here.
Android 5.0.2 if that helps.

What os?
I got so excited for this. But this is really old post and certainly doesn't work.
That would be like using ad block plus and hulu on a rooted device. Hulu doesn't care about root. It needs the ads or it won't work.

So i think I'm going to go upgrade to this phone. Currently on unlocked bootloader droid maxx. Only thing i really need root for is chrome cast for NFL Mobile. Does anyone know if there is a work around (patch?) that doesnt require root to hide chromecast from the running apps or some other way so that NFL Mobile will still work with stock chromecast running? My current solution (using 3rd party screen share) requires root for audio so i am pretty sure that isn't going to work on droid turbo. Just wondering if anyone else casts redzone to their tv and is also looking for a workaround/solution using droid turbo.
Thanks

I just cast my entire screen
How do you cast your entire screen?
You can't do this anymore, NFL mobile patched full screen cast just in time for TNF moving back from CBS in Week 9. You'll get audio from TV but no video. Currently unaware of a workaround. Allcast is similarly disabled.

Crap, you're right. I used to be able to and just figured I still could. Sorry to get your hopes up bud.
