Root Need help with Root and Good For Enterprise

[ellandrydroid]

I have read all the posts about people being unable to stay rooted and run the GFE app at the same time because it detects root and disables itself. I dont really want to stay rooted all the time but I would like to be able to either delete or stop alot of the apps and processes I dont need from constantly running in the background and sucking up battery life. Is there a way to root, permanently disable those things and then remove root completely so I can still run GFE freely without it disabling itself?

Try this app out https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m9yZy5wcm9qZWN0dm9vZG9vLm90YXJvb3RrZWVwZXIiXQ..

What it does is hide root to run apps that won't run on a rooted phone. It's only temporary until you "Un-hide" root.

It worked for google play movies! lol I couldn't rent a movie cuz my phone was rooted. I made a back up of root and then hid root, then re-booted and viola.

It's pretty simple and self explanatory.

After you hide root, reboot the phone.

When you root your phone, you get an app called Superuser with it. If you update it from the Play Store - see https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su - then you have the ability built in to temporarily unroot as well, it should work, without having to use another app.

YMMV - and I'd recommend the other app first over this method, but for those who want to limit the number of apps on their phone, this is a good alternative.

I've seen that in the updated superuser app!

I've never really tried it and didn't want to give advice based on something I haven't tried.

Next time I need to hide root, if ever, I will try the superuser's built in root hider.

There's got to be a way to hide the superuser files from specific apps...

I haven't developed for Android before... Can Android use ptrace to inject and watch code in other apps? If so, one could write something to intercept and block any calls from a target app that look for Superuser.apk, attempts to call su, etc...

Can any Android devs chime in?

ellandrydroid, were you able to install Good on a previously rooted phone using one of these two methods? I tried to use the OTA Rootkeeper on my HTC Incredible to hide root prior to installing Good. Good still detected root however and shut down. I couldn't find a way to make it work. I never tried the Superuser method. I have yet to find a personthat has successfully installed Good on a rooted Android...
