[Q] Has anybody managed to get Sky Go working with Rooted Nexus 7?

I'm just wondering if anybody has managed to get the Sky Go app working with a rooted Nexus 7?
I've read somewhere that a rooted Android device can work with Sky Go if it is running a stock kernel and used in conjunction with Temp Root Remover.
If anybody has, please share your set up. :good:
Many Thanks,
Andy

I don't have an active Sky account anymore, but on Modaco JR13 with Stock kernel and unsecure boot.
I managed to load the app and sign into my old account without any problems.
Obviously I didn't get as far as watching TV as my account is closed.
Hope this helps.

+1 would like top know if it is possible

This thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2042095 ) describes a possible workaround (removal of supersu) but grants all subsequently installed apps root access after this, hence not ideal.
Fingers crossed a more secure method or patched apk arises in the future!

OK so I have a nexus 7 (2012) on standard Android 4.4.4.
Rooted with CWM and superSU 2.01
I just used the root hider app from the play store and selected ..
Hide Su binary and then
Uninstall super user (selected chain fire SuperSU option)
I then had to go into my root of my nexus 7 and remove the sky go files stored there.
After I deleted them I then restarted the tablet.
I can still reinstalled superSU as I'm still rooted but its a bit of a Hassel ATM as every time I want to watch SkyGO I have to follow the same routine, hideSu > uninstall superSU > delete SkyGO files from root dir > restart tablet.

I think there should be an Xposed module to hide root to certain apps, not 100% sure though..

A simple google search would answer your question: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=hide+root+access+android+xposed+module
But any ways here is the right module: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak
It's called rootcloak. Remember: you need the Xposed Framework!

Wanam Xposed doesn't work. Help?

I have a Note SM-N9005, with Android 4.3 running on it. I rooted it using CF Auto Root and installed TWRP to be able to back everything up.
I installed Xposed Framework 2.5, and Wanam Xposed so that I can enable apps in multi-window, but after trying multiple times to set some apps to be able to use them in multi-window the only thing I managed to do is somehow remove a few apps from the list, and not the ones I wanted. Wanam Xposed is checked in the Modules thingy in the framework app, rebooted multiple times, but except those few apps I removed (that I didn't even uncheck), nothing has changed.
Also, YouTube is not even on the list of available apps in Xposed, even though I have it installed, and it disappeared from the multi-window list of apps as well.
I also tried turning off the camera shutter sound, and then rebooted, didn't work. Changing the text size of the clock in the notification bar had no effect either.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

I flashed official Kit Kat rom from you know where, re-rooted and tried again, but I have the same issue. Nothing works. I would really appreciate if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi mate,
You have the official stock rom and just it yes?
if yes, you need to install xposed framework apk, enable wanam on that and reboot.
you need the multi window apk too if you want delete some apps in multiwindow and add others.
Try gravitybox too.
If you do that, certainly it will work fine

Thanks for trying to help, but I tried already, I installed the Xposed framework, then Wanam, enabled Wanam in the framework modules, but it doesn't work.
I tried using multiple apps from the Play Store like Multi Window Manager (I made sure to enable the modules in Xposed Framework and then reboot), but none of them had any effect. I really don't understand why.

I think there might be minor bugs into Wanam Xposed - you should probably report those in the specific thread for that module:

Hi again,
I think you have to try the system ui patcher on xposed installer.
only with it I think you can apply the settings on wanam xposed.
Install that, reboot and try.
after reply just to me know if it worked

Nexus 7 2012 on 5.1.1 -- any way to root it?

Hi all, kinda new to this whole game.
Couldn't find anything about rooting 5.1.1, only 4.2.2.
If there's no way to root 5.1.1, would you recommend reverting to 4.2.2 and then rooting it? Are there any improvements from using that version over 5.1.1?

Rooting 5.1.1 is the same way as on 4.2.2, unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery and flash super su.
I would recommend you to revert to 4.2.2 if you want a better performance, but if you want to stay on 5.1.1 make sure to use parrotmod to increase performance

Nexus Root Toolkit make it very easy.

thanks for the tips. i was able to root it, but now i'm trying to install the Xposed framework and it's telling me
cp:write error: No space left on device
meanwhile there's about 5 gigs of space since i flashed it down to 5.0 from 5.1.1
interestingly enough, after i root it and try to install busybox, it tells me free space is unavailable for /system/xbin as well as all the other options i try to change it to (/su/xbin, etc).
anyone know if something went wrong at some point?

Thanks for the advice. How do I know what i can remove? If i flashed the tablet multiple times (tried diff versions of android), would that have bloated the /system partition?
Is there something specific i should be careful to leave in?

anyone know if the play store can detect that a device is rooted, and prevent pokemon go from showing up in the store?
or is it just not detecting on my tablet possibly from the model of tablet i have?
i checked the official requirements page and there's nothing 'targeting' specific devices, the device just needs to haev Android 4.4+, but i'm not seeing it in my play store for whatever reason.
(my device is a nexus 7, Android 5.0)
i do recall that, before rooting my device, i'm pretty sure i was able to see and DL pokemon go on this tablet when it was running 5.11 before the root was performed

nvm, i found a site hosting the apk for the app. now just trying to make all the pieces work together on the nexus 7

you need to install Magisk to play pogo on a rooted tablet. magisk will disable the root so pogo will load.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-magisk-v1-universal-systemless-t3432382
Flash a custom rom and install the nano gapps from http://opengapps.org/ if you want to install more apps.
But I wouldn't recommend it since it lags a lot without parrotmod speeding things up. Use the N7 2013 instead.

Magisk will not install on a 5..1.1 ROM because it needs systemless root and this is availabe only on 6.0 or greater ...

Thanks for the added tips. It's too bad this Magisk program only works on 6.0+.
I've tried everything detailed in this guide, including hiding the root with modules in Xposed, but i can't get the logins i created for PoGo to authenticate. I think i'm going to have to throw in the towel on this one.

you might want to rethink that. It works fine on my 5.1.1, as stated in the magisk post "Magisk supports all the way down to Android 5.0 (SDK 21+) (thanks to the new method and busybox environment)"

Don't use xposed, either don't install or disable when you don't need it. Someone mentioned that pogo won't work if xposed was installed, but i didn't think twice about it since mine worked with xposed installed, until today. So today I disabled xposed, then restarted, and it works again.

oh, thanks man. i'll def try it out -- see if i cant get it to work with Magisk. I appreciate you pointing that out

Pardon my newb, but this workaround method is what i'm trying to achieve through all this.
In short, rooting, then using Xposed modules to hide the fact that 'mock locations' is enabled and faking my GPS location with it. (we live in a tiny town and want the device location moved to a big city).
Without Xposed installed, is there any alternate way that I can hide from PoGo that mock locations is enabled? Per the method linked, that was the one way to make it work, at time of writing.
Or even better, since the linked method actually didn't work on my device (pogo account 'wouldnt authenticate' -- not sure why but assuming its caused by xposed or some kind of root detection), would you know of a different way to fake my GPS location and hide it from PoGo on a Nexus 7?

Just to clarify, I followed your advice and installed Magisk already.
So I have a Magisk-ready device, just not sure where to take things from here, since I realized my instructions uses Xposed specifically to circumvent PoGo

Help
I'm in the same position.

There is another way, but it will disable your ability to use gps . use lucky patcher to install your spoofing app as a system app, then you don't need to enable mock locations and don't need xposed since the xposed modules don't work anyways. after that, install an app called disableservice and disable the 3 locationsharing services in google play service. What this does is prevent your real gps to overwrite your mock gps data.

Systemless ROOT - Some apps not working (Freedom, Link2SD, etc.)

Hi,
I am very new to Systemless root and it seems littlebit confusing for me.
I have few problems. I am using Magisk Systemless ROOT on my 1+5 with Android 7.1.1
I already know that because of non-editable /system i can't delete or upgrade system apps. But my bigger problem is for example with F***dom app. I know that warez is not supported here so I am asking only for educational purposes (or whatever). F***dom not working at all. My pay card still showing (Fallout Shelter, Fruit Ninja, etc.). Even L***y Pat***r not work well. I am still getting errors when trying to patch Fallout or any other apps. One of the least problem is with busybox. Why I cant install busybox to /system/bin but to /system/xbin yes?
Is there any way how to make system root work like nornal root? I really want use my old apps. Not just Freedom, but for example Titanium Backup not working too.

Titanium Backup definitely works with systemless root. When you go into the Magisk Manager app does it actually show that you are rooted? When you click on the Safety Net check in Magisk Manager what message do you get?

I am using Magisk systemless root and it works.
So you're probably not rooted at all. And I did not even had to install busybox either.

I am rooted. Safety Net is ok when Hide Root setting is selected in Magisk. Apps normally get root access but as I said some of them not work properly. Busybox throw error when installing to /system/bin
Titanium Backup not recover system apps or data.
And what about freedom?

There's actually a dedicated support thread on XDA for Magisk. Since your issue seems to be very Magisk specific rather than a OP5 issue you would probably have more success posting your question there.

Just a reminder to all. No mentions of lucky patcher or freedom are allowed in the forums as they are warez/malware apps.

Freedom APK v2.0.8 is an Android application which will give you a chance to open the top notch highlights of prevalent recreations free of cost.

That app is also banned on xda as are all Warez apps.

I highly recommend you delete this post and go somewhere else before more aggressive devs start waking up
XDA's tag line is "XDA Developers was founded by developers, for developers. " and you come in here waving your middle finger around saying developers' time and energy is worthless and your deserve it all for fee, and your entitled ass comes here asking for more help exploiting devs.
Help specific to LP, Freedom, and all other exploitive apps is forbidden here. #GoAway
And all that aside, your question has been asked 1000x by legit users. Spending even 10-15 seconds researching the problem would yield a result. #LMGTFY

What is more powerful than Magisk Hide for hiding root from apps?

I have a few banking/government apps that seem to be quite smart - even Magisk Hide cannot hide the fact that device is rooted. Is there another more "powerful" app that does the same thing?

anyone please?

Have you tried using the magisk module called "magiskhide Prop config" ? Supposedly better for hiring root?
Also if you give examples of the apps you're using that may be more helpful

After hiding app in magisk have you cleared data and cache for the apps.
Try using a root checking app (I am using root beer at the moment) to check root status
Do you pass safety net
Another possibility since you mention government apps is it might picking up the fact that your Knox is tripped.
