Root How do you hide root?

[benslgdroid]

Anyone know how to hide root from an app such as movies by flixster? I paid for my digital movies and should be able to watch them. I've already tried an app that renames the su file in system bin and it didn't work.

Some claim security issues, unsure of others.

The Blizzard Authenticator gives you a warning about lessened security while running it on a rooted device (same when running it on a jailbroken iphone), but will still run.

It's about DRM (Digital Rights Management). Rooted phone users may be able to disable DRM and make digital copies of copyrighted material (movies, songs, etc). So many apps that use DRM content will not work on a rooted phone (atm).

Try the app hideyourroot.... you can toggle between hide/unhide......no need to have a PC.

There are some threads relevant to this in the Kindle Fire forum. Since if you root the Fire you can't stream your Prime Videos and you need to root to get the full Android Market.
