[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!

Kodi and Confluence++ Skin Missing Power Options

Hi all. I've installed kodi and with the confluence ++ skin. There are a few observations and questions I would be grateful if someone could help point me to the right direction.
1. I cannot get the power suspend option on kodi like how it exists in spmc. Is there a settin somewhere to enable it.? I cannot seem to find it. maybe some config file?
2. When adding 7 tiles to the bottom, the first tile gets slightly cut.
3. With rbox's boot menu. Is there a way to disable the boot menu display on every boot? or at least decrease the time of 5 seconds?
Really appreciate your help.

I tried to add the power options from elmero's repo but that requires the su and when I try to run the su script, it fails. however I do have root. am confused to make kodi my main OS yet . any guidance?

have you went into the SU app under the FTV menu ( the OEM rom, not XBMC ) and launch SU. Update binaries and apply etc. Try that.

what is the su app you are referring to in the ftv menu? I have supersu and I have an option to force stop only
also when I try spmc, I get the power options
confused.

Open superuser from the FTV app list and let it update.

I have the supersu application. That does not have an open option. I also downloaded the superuser from the playstore and I still get eh checksu.py script failure. on spmc I too get the script failure but I have the power options working just fine.

Sorry man, there should be an option to update binaries like in any SU app.. Which version are you using

When I installed rbox's CMW recovery and custom ROMs I lost the ability to open su. I believe this is a known issue.

For now I'm still sticking to spmc. I don't think helix has the support ready yet. SPMC 13.3.2 (not the latest one) works the best with .ts files as well.

[How-To-Guides] V4A, Play Store/Xposed And More!

Hey all,
I'm a regular on these forums (throughout the day every day) and like to develop my own ROMs for other devices and help out in every way I can!
I noticed a lot of threads spread out across the AFTV forum for Xposed, Gapps etc. I however feel they should all be in one place!
I will provide details/instructions for things that worked for me.
I will not have guides someone else made without their permission as well as I will provide credits where due!
* I will not cover rooting or installing a pre rooted ROM.
* I will assume if you are here you are on @rbox latest rom/recovery. You have root with SuperSU and a working Busybox.
* Thread will be cleaned and links added soon!
*I will upload files I know work 100% to either my AFH or my Drive folder.
* Eventually (when I get my keyboard/mouse) I will be creating ROMs with all of this baked in.
Xposed+Play Store
I didnt get around to pictures and a more advanced tutorial YET but willpost screens later:
1) Be on rbox latest pre rooted rom and recovery.
2) Download the following: Xposed framework, Xposed installer apk, hdx module apk, open gapps nano flashable zip, lean back playstore 5.10 & Market helper apk (market helper might not be necessary but I used it.)
https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0By9dxKZHr9vaUVhMRnc0RGxTNnc/edit
3) Have a custom launcher already such as leanback launcher or firestarter etc. as well as a root browser like es file explorer and/or root browser.
4) If mouse doesnt work then use a mouse apk such as Wukong on play store.
5) Move all downloaded files to storage of choice (internal sd card, microSD or usb storage)
6) Boot into TWRP and navigate to the Xposed framework and flash it then reboot system.
7) Once booted install the Xposed installer apk and reboot.
8) Install HDX module apk.
9) Go into Xposed installer it should say everythings installed. Go to modules and use a mouse to check the box for HDX and reboot.
10) Boot back into TWRP and navigate to and flash the open gapps zip and reboot to system.
11) Go into system/priv-app/Phonesky/ and delete the phonesky apk and reboot.
12) Using a root browser, navigate to the leanback play store we downloaded and rename to Phonesky.apk
13) Copy the apk and put it in /system/priv-app/Phonesky/Phonesky.apk
14) Set permissions on Phonesky.apk to rw-r-r and reboot
15) When booted back up, using a 3rd party launcher, open Play Store.
16) You might need to use a mouse again to be able to sign into google account.
17) optional step, install market helper apk and set to Google/Android TV.
Play Store should work and download apks successfully.
Note: As usual usb debugging should be on throughout the whole process and when opening stuff make sure to grant su permissions if it pops up throughout the process.
V4A with Neon
1) Download latest V4A apk and push to device.
2) Install apk and open it.
3) When it prompts, install driver (if it gives an option install highest quality.)
4) Download and extract zips at this drive folder (also download the v4a apk while youreat it) :
https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0By9dxKZHr9vaOHJOMkc3TUFsSXM/edit
5) Take all the files and place in respective folders. For example, 50viper.sh goes into /system/etc/init.d/50viper.sh
6) Each file we push needs to have permissions set to rw-r-r.
7) Reboot device.
8) Push universal init.d from the play store to your device and install it.
9) Open it and grant su. You should see the 50viper.sh file. Turn the init.d switch to on in the app and then press the start button towards top right.
10) you should see it say it was started. Now open the V4A app and select the menu button (you can use menu button on fire tv remote) and go to driver status.
It should say everything thing is enabled and supported! Keep in mind it will not show processing unless you are playing audio.
Miscellaneous APK's (Leanback Youtube, ADB Wifi, Kodi 15.2 etc. Is a work in progress...)

I willalso start working on a debloat list as well tomorrow.. I will list theAPK and what it is the best I can... If you have something toadd to the list or want guides for specific items you can request in here as well!

Screenshots...

Thanks Elliwigy! I am going to try again with playstore when I get home. I couldn't get the playstore to show in Firestarter. I ended up installing the apk as a normal app which gave the error code upon installing anything from the store. I will also try v4a and leanback you tube. I'll let you know how it goes!

worked perfectly for me.
Great work...

"checking root access" stuck

hi
I have a rooted nexus 6p and I tried to install gmd hide soft keys.
and the "checking root access" bar stuck and I cant use the app...
what can I do?
thanks

How do you have rooted it?

I had that issue, too. I use SuperSU, I was on the previous 2.78 when I tried to use the app, but after it didn't work, I uninstalled the app.
The app description on the play store gives no mention of N, and looks to have not been updated since October of last year. Maybe it's a compatibility issue?

It's probably not compatible with systemless root.

You can try hide navbar with substratum and then use a different navigation mode like pie or swipe/gestures

It depends on what you like... Pie Control is for the pie navigation mode or one app that I like too very much is Swipe Gesture (IAP on the play store)
There is even Dynamic NavBar but I remember that on my Marshmallow causes problem when I was on Nexus 5 after that I haven't more tried on Nougat..

I had the same problem trying out GMD Gesture Control Lite and stumbled upon a workaround. Not sure if it will work with the other GMD apps, but it might be worth a try.
When you first open the app after installing, hit the home button to exit to the desktop when SuperSU asks you to grant permission before the time runs out. Then go into SuperSU and manually grant permission to the app. Then go to the app and it should have root access.

Tried for curiosity GMD auto hide soft keys and same problem..it asks root access but then it stuck on "checking root access" for unknown reasons... On SuperSU access is granted.. I think the app is not fully ready for Nougat

Also worked for me. Before I had the same issue, forever stuck on the "checking root access" bug.

Wakelock detector not working

Has anyone got wakelock detector running on their OP5?
I am running OOS so there is no custom rom Messing with it, but I always get an error message.
I also cannot Install it as a system app which was suggested because it cant mount rw

I have the same issue. haven't found a solution yet. Does anyone have any insight

I posted a workaround in a different thread.
Basically don't install the root version, install the Wakelock Detector Lite version, then you need to follow the in-app guide to grant the app battery stats via ADB and a Chrome Extension. That works.

Works fine with Magisk / AppSystemizer (+ reboot twice ?!).
BetterBatteryStats_xda will give you more analyses.

for new version is need run adb command
Code:
adb -d shell pm grant com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector.full android.permission.BATTERY_STATS

Hi could you help me to figure out why
KERNEL wakelock is failed to open for me ?
First time I was able to open kernel mode, after that I have made some settings adjustment BUT not with this app. I changed background mode for samsung push nitifications, removed permissions for body sensor and microphone for google play service, but not have changed anything for wakelock detector.
do you kow what should be enabled/permissions for KERNEL mode view ?
