How to hide root to run apps like Sky Go? - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a rooted HD10 and want to use Sky Go on the tablet. Unforntunately the Sky Go App checks for root and does not allow to play content if root is detected.
Using Magisk is not possible, i also tried Hide rootin lite 1.7 but this also does not help.
Any other ideas how to hide root from the sky go app?

I'm wondering how to hide root as well! I'm not trying to use Sky Go but rather the Spectrum TV app. Also, strangely, after rooting, I can't seem to use any weather apps such as the Weather Channel app. If I can hide root in some way, will these apps start working? Please help!

Try Magisk ... you can find everything to setup it on YouTube

Have you tried running your app via an app like Parallel Space ( it creates a virtual environment to run apps) ? Maybe it will work.

The SuperUser app itself doesn't do all that much, it shows you what apps have superuser access. Until you download an app that requires root, and allow root for that app - your SuperUser app will remain a blank list. Once you do allow root for a few apps, you can go back to SU and see the list of apps w/ root access.
It sounds like you want to know of some good apps that require su access.?
AddFree
ClockSync
Titanium Backup
MarketAccess
RootExplorer
Screen Grabber
Wireless Tether

Does anyone know of a method to use the Google Videos app on a rooted Xoom? Hulu Plus doesn't seem to work either and I believe it's for the same reason. Is there a way to hide the fact that you're rooted from apps?
Thanks.
The modified phone hulu+ app works on rooted/custom rom xoom.
And the new tablet hulu+ isn't not working because of root; there are plenty of people running stock that also cannot get it to work.
I have the hulu plus app working stock rooted. I just get the DRM error with EOS and Bugless beast custom ROMs. CubanLuke88, the modified apk for hulu isn't updated to the newest more tablet friendly hulu app so its kind of a turn off. I hope it is updated soon because I can't stay on stock ICS just for the hulu tablet friendly version of the app.
EDIT: I take it back. Huluplus is not working on my stock rooted Xoom. I no longer get the DRM error but I still can't stream any shows. I get an error that streaming is unavailable when I click on a video. Ugh. At least I have no need to stay stock now though.
Thanks for the replies. How about the Google Videos app? I know there's an apk that works for rooted phones but I can't install it on my Xoom. Is there a way to get around the root permissions restriction for the Videos app?
There is an app called "SuperSU" on the market.
It will allow you to hide/disable root in order to use your apps that you can't when rooted.
After you install it, disable root and use Google movies to your hearts desire.
No need to install a modified APK.
When you need root again, it's just one click to re-enable.
That easy.
Feel free to hit the thanks button.

Just confirmed this works. Wifi Xoom with Eos 89 on it.
I just read this thread and grabbed the pro SuperSU version. I get the feeling going forward we will have to hide root more often.

[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
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
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!

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.
