About RootCloak Plus (Cydia)
Many apps detect rooted phones (banking, enterprise, streaming), and upon detection, do not run. RootCloak Plus hides all indications of root, thereby enabling those apps to run, without disabling root.
PLEASE READ EVERYTHING AND EMAIL OR POST ON XDA BEFORE LEAVING A NEGATIVE REVIEW!
There is no 100% way to hide root. Any feedback you may have will be helpful, not only for fixing your particular issue, but also for hiding root from future apps!
See http://mattj.io/rootcloakplus/ for the list of apps that work 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 SELinux Mode 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 devices with more than one user account!)
Does NOT Support:
• x86 (Intel) devices
• Devices with multiple user accounts
How is this different than disabling root with temp unroot/SuperSu unroot/etc?
Disabling root, or temporarily unrooting, prevents ALL applications from using root. This includes the applications that require root to function. In addition, SuperSu (and others) cannot hide themselves, and are still detected by many apps. RootCloak does not disable root; it completely hides all traces of being rooting, including the su binary, some of busybox, superuser.apk/most common superuser control apps, and more.
Does RootCloak hide custom ROMs (CM, AOKP, etc)?
Not directly. Some apps that check for root only check for things like 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 to effectively hide all of them. For example, addition settings activities 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 SELinux Mode 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 the app and Link Substrate Files, then reboot!
3) Install RootCloak Plus.
4) Reboot your device to enable RootCloak Plus. Substrate will probably tell you to do so.
5) Open RootClock Plus settings (just open the app from the launcher), and then go to Add/Remove. This is where you will change which 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 it to the list.
7) To apply changes, you MUST reboot your device!
8) Run the app to see if root was successfully hidden.

I had high hopes for this app and it really seems to be the only one on the market that attempts too hide root but u it didn't work for me at all... Tried several installs & uninstalls. BTW I am rooted, I do have xposed framework installer, busy box & all of that other stuff.

as a developer I hate seeing negative reviews without research. Anyone using this as an xposed module needs to realize xposed does not fully work with Lollipop yet and many aspects of the framework are not supported yet. This is why many apps such as rootcloak don't work as effective as in the past.patience make progress.

Doesn't work with Tesco PayQwiq :( To those who keep saying SuperSU must also be disabled - that doesn't work because then SELinux Mode Changer can't get root and then rootcloak won't work! Any other ideas welcome ...

I could not for the life of me figure out why my Kaiku banking app would not work, then it hit me and after careful research found this awesome app, preloaded also. Anyway, worked right after reboot now i am just super upset it will not work on my two main devices as happen to be intels, any reason it will not work on x86 dev? Either way amazizg app. I would pay if could use on my main devices as this arm it worked on as advertised i rarely ever pickup or use but again works flawless and as advertised if possible please make work with Intel devices!,,, btw: I did not install cydia substrate i just added my kaiku app and rebooted, it worked. Why?

My banking app not working after root. Using this with related apps make the banking app works again. Tq.

This is currently broken. I've had it for around 6 months with no issues. There have been no change in the device, and two days ago this stopped working. It no long shields the rooted device. Derooting the the device proved that it is intact this app that is failing to work as it had. Sad times, and due to other app I need root for, I can no longer continue to catch them all (Pokemon go) the tears are real.
