HBO Now on rooted devices - T-Mobile LG G4

Hello everyone! Now that we have root, does anyone know a way around to using HBO Now on our rooted device?

Since Root Cloak has not been updated in a while (and Xposed is still not running on the G4), it is not possible now. There must be a larger thread on here that talks about ways to get around it, I suggest you look for it and track progress there. If none exists, one should be created in the proper forum.

Wow, is this the Play Store version? HBO Go must be using a pretty easy to defeat root detection. The last update to Hide My Root on the Play Store was in April 2013.

Yes downloaded straight from Play store

Nice! I wish I could hide root from work's MDM :crying:

This works, thanks... and once you start playing something, it seems you can even go back and re-enable root right away and the app stops checking as long as it is in memory.

Edited.

I use root cloak plus from the play store and it works with HBO now. It don't have to disable or enable root. I just add HBO now, our whatever app, to the list and reboot.

Apps That Do Not Work with Android 5.0 "Lollipop" official release

There's a thread about Apps That Do Not Work with Android "L" Preview but now that Lollipop official factory image is out, I think it's time to start a new thread.
I've updated my Nexus 5 to Lollipop yesterday and thanks to CF Auto Root and Titanium Backup, I've managed to restore most of my apps' data. So far, the only app that seems to be completely broken is Freedome 1.0.40.1123 (aka F-Secure Freedome VPN). It shows a "Network request failed" error dialog. logcat output is attached, and I've sent their support an email.
Update: Freedome 1.0.41.1142 works fine on Lollipop.
WiFi Web Login 4.1.27 is failing more often then working, but no crashes or stacktraces in logcat. I've already sent them an email reporting this.
Please contribute to this list.
office
Office mobile always asks you to check connection.
Posti (finland) says same as office.
Edit. I am surprised with office, is anyone also having the same issue?
Skiplock
Marked app as incompatible with Android 5+. Due to changes in Android 5.0, it is no longer possible for an app to unlock the device. Thanks, Google. If I can find a way around this, I will, but don't get your hopes up.

The developer breaks it on purpose.
Stop using MX Player.
Check out VLC Player. It's free and doesn't break with version updates

Why would they break it on purpose? Wont it be updated soon to work on lollipop?

can't install many things
Has anyone else had trouble installing things in the first place? For example, I need to install the Amazon Appstore, but after downloading and opening the apk file the "Install" button will not react. The "Cancel" button works just dandy, but there are several things I've come across that have the same problem as the appstore. Is this due to security settings, the apps needing to be updated, or what? Very irritating. Lollipop is flashy and all that, but so far has been a bit of a pain what with the manual flashing and the root runaround I've had.

[Q]Tap and Pay

Has anyone successfully got tap to pay working with google wallet? Under the nfc settings page it says that "No payment servcies are currently installed" despite me having the google wallet app both set up and installed on my phone. Thanks in advance!
I would suggest you remove it and set it up again. It does show up under NFC for me and works fine. I didn't have to do anything special.

Well, I figured it out. Turns out google just needs a photo ID from me before it will work.
Just curious... did you set it up before you first rooted? I'm not sure if it matters, but it might be necessary to install wallet before rooting. Could try unrooting and installing it.

I did try before rooting. The issue had nothing to do with root access; it was a matter of submitting documentation to google. Works great now!

"Good for Enterprise" maiil app on a rooted Nexus 6

Hello experts,
I wanted to know if anyone is currently using Good Mail app to access work emails on a rooted Nexus 6. I believe the pre-requisites mandated by the s/w is that the phone should 'NOT' be rooted. I also know that there is an xposed module that facilitates using the application on a rooted phone, along with a root cloak method. Before I try and fail and get blocked by my enterprise mail server, I wanted to know if anyone else is currently using a rooted phone to access the Good application? I am on stock rooted with xposed installed. No way I am going back.
Thanks
Nine is my absolute favorite. It's paid (I think like 10 bucks or something when I bought it) but it follows material design guidelines and works seamlessly with exchange accounts. It works fine on my crazy customized N6 (Dirty Unicorns, rooted, v4a, xposed, hellscore kernel, etc...). My favorite features are- application level security if you want meaning if they remote wipe your phone it doesn't actually remote wipe your phone- it just removes your account from the Nine app. You can also revert this back to wiping the entire phone if you would want. Also if your workplace requires an unlock code/pin to be able to set up your email- it can also bypass that if you want to have a regular swipe to unlock.
Mailwise would be an alternative recommendation, I used to use it a while ago and it worked fine on my rooted phone. They have a free version too I believe.
Thanks for the reply but I was seeking help on a slightly different topic. There is a product called Good for Enterprise which is used by corporate companies to provide work mail access on personal phones (as a replacement for Bberries). The thing is that the company mandates the phone to be non rooted for this to work. Now there is an xposed module that blocks the app from checking root status or something of the sorts that makes the Good app believe that the phone is un rooted. Some have success with it, while others have had issues. I wanted to know if there is anyone with Nexus 6 rooted and on Marshmallow that has success with using the Good For Enterprise mail app?
That all really depends on the it department. Take mine for example. It is set to look for root as well as xposed. Both which is not allowed.

Has anyone here used the app CarStream to watch Youtube?

I have wanted to move from my regular android head unit to Android Auto for a while, but some of my favorite things to listen to while driving to work don't have regular podcasts. So I have to watch them on YouTube. If anyone has used this, please let me know if it is working well. I really want to get a higher quality head unit, and this would definitely motivate me to do it. Here is a link to a video example of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9AjJW0H93Y
http://www.thekirankumar.com/blog/
Yes it is working perfectly fine. I've just recently started using it. It also has inbuilt internet browser and u can also watch videos from your device's internal or sd storage. But i prefer using AnyAutoAudio app while driving because its much safer as it plays youtube on the background n u dont get distracted by the video too

It seems to work well
"Apr 2018 : Google has blocked all custom apps on Android Auto, hence this app won't work anymore." ((
Someone figured out a solution for this? Like making an Xposed module for the Google services.
I am also interested since, from April, it does not work with my daughter's displeasure anymore
there is a solution for no-root

You can downgrade the Google Play Service to 12.21.
It works. And also using Android Auto v2.95
But I choose mirroring app Android Auto over the carstream.

If you have no root, then you have to re-install the GPS every time its update.
If not, then you won't get the app working.
If you're rooted user, then you can use the lucky patcher in my case and searching for update in GPS and then disable the package.
In my case, I used the following step below based on my experienced:
1. Open LuckyPatcher
2. Tap search box
3. Search for Google Play Services
4. Tap the Google Play Services
5. Choose Menu of Patches then click Yes.
6. Choose change the app components
7. Tap the disable components 'pm disable' method in the first row
8. Then search for update and you can disable:
com.google.android .gms.update.SystemUpdateActivity (in tab Activities)
com.google.android.location.internal.NlpNetworkProviderSettingUpdateReceiver (In tab receiver)
com.google.android.lgms.update.SystemUpdateService
9. Just enjoy it! :good::good:
Already using this for months and no auto update for Google Play Services. But I'm using GPS 12.6.85 with the AA mirror and Android Auto 3.2.58 on rooted devices. And I'm not using the carstream again but using AA mirror and I can play youtube or even all of the apps on my phone in the head unit. FYI the carstream won't work in my version. I haven't tried it though.
Always Have a full functional Backup. Just in case!

Chase App Always Detects Root

has anyone gotten the current version of the Chase app to work with the current version of Magisk? Specifically, the Zelle send/request feature. Always detects root even with Magisk hide and renaming manager, and deleting all folder names containing Magisk, etc.
Has anyone got it working? If so, what steps exactly must be taken. Please dont turn this into a general banking app thread, which gets very confusing and non-helpful. Just the current Chase app.
Thx
Yes, I have the same issue with the latest version of the Chase mobile app on Android 10 with Magisk 20.4. Have switched all spending over to Amex until this failure is resolved.
Resolved using the Island app, which is available on Play Store

Here's how
1 Uninstall Chase
2 Hide Magisk package name in the app & reboot
3 Install Chase app, don't run it
4 Hide Chase in MagiskHide & reboot
5 Run Chase app and cross fingers
Having the same issue as well, I even tried within Samsung's secure folder which is supposed to create a new environment but it's still detected, repackaging magisk didn't work either unfortunately
I'm having the same issue! On Magisk 20.4 with repackaged and renamed manager. Added both chase processes in Magisk Hide, and did a full system search using:
find / -name "*magisk*" 2>/dev/null
and found nothing outside /sbin. Still no luck after doing all of the above, clearing app data, then logging back in. For me, the primary issue is not being able to access "Ultimate Rewards". Interestingly, I was just able to send $1 through Zelle on the same device, contrary to OP.
Edit: The Island app is also not able to solve the issue, which further supports what @ChainfiresSon stated above.
Did you end up finding a solution for this?
The app was working fine up until the recent June update for me. Would really like to get it working again.

Is there a safe way to downgrade the version?
1. Island does not work
2. Uninstalling Chase, Hiding Magisk, Installing Chase, Hiding from Magisk, running Chase does not work either
I've been having the same issue since Google started enforcing hardware attestation. Magisk no longer passes CTSProfile test on my Pixel 4 as well. So far this is the only app I have that has started having root issues with.
Unfortunately, there are many ways to detect root besides Magisk.
I have no issue with the Chase app on a pixel 3xl, and without decompiling and analyzing the app there can be many reasons why it detects root (modules, Xposed framework, etc).
I am on Android Q with July security patch and use Magisk and Magisk Hide with many modules (Viper4Android, edge sense plus, etc). Along with both Google Pay and Samsung Pay.
Hope you can resolve this.
Cheers,
B.D.

The app itself has no issues. Just with using the credit card bonus points or adding new contacts on Zelle. Do those work for you?

Yeah, on mine, only when using certain aspects of the chase app will it complain. I just clicked on "explore ultimate rewards" and got the you're rooted message. Google Pay works fine (oneplus 7t) and I didn't even have to do a bunch of workarounds like I had to with the 6t. Haven't figured out how to get the chase app to work 100% though.

Fair enough. Still trying to figure out if anyone else has any update on this. I hate that it doesn't let me add zelle recipients sometimes/etc as well.
Update- seems like the new latest update has made it even harder to use since it detects root. Anyone have any ideas how it detects it?
