Description

Many apps detect rooted phones (banking,enterprise, streaming), and upon detection, do not run. RootCloakPlus hides all indications of root, thereby enabling those apps torun, without disabling root.

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING AND EMAIL OR POST ON XDA BEFORE LEAVING ANEGATIVE REVIEW!
There is no 100% way to hide root. Any feedback you may have willbe helpful, not only for fixing your particular issue, but also forhiding root from future apps!

See http://mattj.io/rootcloakplus/ for the list of apps thatwork with RootCloak Plus.


Requirements:
• Rooted Device
• Android v4.0.3+
• Cydia Substrate (http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saurik.substrate)
• If you are on Android 4.4+ (Kitkat), you need to install SELinuxMode Changer and set it to PERMISSIVE: (http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux)
• Single user on the device (does NOT currently support deviceswith more than one user account!)

Does NOT Support:
• x86 (Intel) devices
• Devices with multiple user accounts


How is this different than disabling root with tempunroot/SuperSu unroot/etc?
Disabling root, or temporarily unrooting, prevents ALL applicationsfrom using root. This includes the applications that require rootto function. In addition, SuperSu (and others) cannot hidethemselves, and are still detected by many apps. RootCloak does notdisable root; it completely hides all traces of being rooting,including the su binary, some of busybox, superuser.apk/most commonsuperuser control apps, and more.


Does RootCloak hide custom ROMs (CM, AOKP, etc)?
Not directly. Some apps that check for root only check for thingslike release-keys vs test-keys, and therefore RootCloak will work.However, if you are running CM, AOKP, or any other custom ROM,there are simply too many ways to detect a custom for RootCloak toeffectively hide all of them. For example, addition settingsactivities may be added/removed depending on the AOKP version;RootCloak would have to hide every single one to be 100%effective.


Instructions:
1) If you are on Android 4.4+ (KitKat), you need to install SELinuxMode Changer and set it to PERMISSIVE: (http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux)
2) Install Cydia Substrate. You must install it, then open theapp and Link Substrate Files, then reboot!
3) Install RootCloak Plus.
4) Reboot your device to enable RootCloak Plus. Substrate willprobably tell you to do so.
5) Open RootClock Plus settings (just open the app from thelauncher), and then go to Add/Remove. This is where you will changewhich apps RootCloak hides root from.
6) If the app you want is not among the default apps, press the +button to add it. Find the app in the list, and press it to add itto the list.
7) To apply changes, you MUST reboot your device!
8) Run the app to see if root was successfully hidden.
