I've tried to install Root Cloak on my S5 but it's still not working, what can I do?
Install xprivacy module and restrict every thing under shell of your banks app. Maku sure they are all ticked

Banking apps are getting really goo about looking for root as well as xposed. If you want to use them then you may have to give up root
Hi, So I recently ran into the problem of not being able to use certain apps such as Snapchat and banking apps while having Xposed Framework installed even if I do not try to modify that application. This problem has forced me to stop using Xposed. So I was wondering, if there was anyway to cloak Xposed. Don't suggest things like root cloak because the apps check for Xposed not for root. Thank you
There are none that i know of. But you can use systemless xposed and toggle it off from Xposed Installer when using apps that detect it. That's currently the only simplest method.
Newest stable version works but doesn't ask for root privilege. Rooted using Chainfire's supersu.
Also happened to me, but here's the deal, just follow the new setup wizard without root access anyways, then when you have access to the app settings you can change to root mode and force to greenify anything, or try to activate any settings that require root, super su should prompt, then you can grant root access, it's working fine for me now
Best of luck

Which settings require root? I've toggled all the settings and none of them made it ask for root.

For me it asked for root when I changed settings under "wake up tracking and cut off".
If nothing happens to you reboot your phone and try again, you could also check to see if there is any denied requests of greenery in super su app and manually grant it.

Oh it works just fine. It's just not showing up in Supersu as having root access.
I have the same problem.
After I updated from the market today I can't get greenify to properly request root access.
When I run it I tell it I'll rooted, see it saying it's requesting root access but supersu doesn't prompt then says it can't get root. Same results with rebooting.
In supersu there are no request prompts from greenify. I deleted the greenify access to see if that would get it to reprompt but it still says can't get root and supersu shows no requests in logs.
Other apps still work fine in supersu.
Edit --
Interesting, I disabled the module in xposed and when it prompts for root supersu pops right up. So I gave it access that way but logs show that once the module is reenabled it never asks for root.
Weird
Can't get root privilege
I've updated it trough the market and followed the wizard. When its given the choice i selected root but response is> there is no root<, so i decided to recheck it manual as suggested in the app)Same problem, no root request popup, not showing in su(chainfire). Also wake up tracker does not remember it's setting.
What i did so far:
Reinstall greenify, reinstall SU, deselect Geenify module and select again in xposed.
Reboot
Never it shows up in SU or get root request permission popup.

Got mine to work by deselecting Greenify module in Xposed and rebooting. Started Greenify app and it said to either to activate the Xposed module or select non-root mode. I clicked on Greenify settings and tried to change Xposed settings and a popup window asked if I wanted to activate Xposed module. I selected yes, Xposed started, I selected Greenify module and rebooted. During the bootup process, Greenify asked for root permissions.
A similar process worked for me: deactivated the Xposed module, rebooted, started the Greenify app, then I went into the Greenify settings and turned on the enhanced wake up tracker, which caused Greenify to request root. Granted permission, then reactivated the Xposed module and rebooted again. Checked in SuperSU that Greenify had permissions, then I just had to re-enable the Xposed based features in the Greenify settings.
Having done that, however, I see from the SuperSU logs that Greenify isn't actually requesting any root permissions since I re-enabled the Xposed module. I suspect the new version is using Xposed for all its root access and no longer needs root permissions for the app in Boost (Xposed) mode.
Lots of guessing here.
I tried doing a plain re-install. Greenify comes up with the new setup process, tells me it's going to request root access and then does... nothing. Then it complains it can't get root access and stays there so can't install anymore. Completely broken. Unless I want to go without root which is not my intention as I don't want to use it with a reduced feature set.

Read prior posts for further guidance. Seems others have got it to work. I had zero/nada/no problems on latest betas w/Xposed and SuperSU 2.76. YMMV.
What can I say.... I do a clean install, the app says it's going to acquire root and then fails. I'd call this a bug... Honestly.

Using SuperSU? If ≥ 2.77 try 2.76 (terminal build by ChainFire).
BTW - I tend to agree there's a glitch somewhere given complaints; Q&A will hopefully allow dev to isolate/rectify.
I'm using SuperSU v2.78 with the latest Greenify v3.0 build 5 beta and it working fine.
Wonder if I should drop back to v2.76 and how to even do that without losing root?

This page has a link to the SuperSU v2.76 zip on ChainFire's site, which can be flashed with TWRP, etc depending on your phone.

I have not tried to flash it myself.

If life is good don't change anything! I'm not out to skewer SuperSU v2.78; the problems I and a few others experienced are likely outliers with various contributing factors. That said, SuperSU 2.76 has been rock solid on my devices as have most of ChainFire's previous releases. Sticking with what works for now.

Did all of the above and it doesn't show in supersu. Strange thing is Greenify works with root+boost selected just fine. Doesn't show in su logs either.
If you moved Greenify apk to
"/system/priv-app", it won't need to ask SuperSU for root and won't be in the SuperSU log. Is that the case here?

Hum - assumed those with Xposed framework left Greenify as a user app. Perhaps not the case for all. As you pointed out one would not necessarily expect a prompt for privileged access if the app resides in "/system/priv-app" depending on how the active SU manager (typically SuperSU) is configured.
I don't think you can do anything to the SuperSU configuration to make it so apps in priv-app have to ask for SU permission. I have other apps in there and have never seen them ask and they are not in SuperSU log either.
I moved my Greenify apk into priv-app because it wasn't clear to me that there was nothing to gain by doing that as I already had Xposed installed and working. Have since moved it back to original folder in /data/app/.

- Android 6.0.1
- SuperSU 2.78 (systemless root)
- Xposed
- latest Greenify Beta from PlayStore (in Root+Boost mode)
- NOT installed as system app or anything.
Same problem here -- Greenify never asks for root, is not listed in SuperSU logs. Greenify initially had root access iirc, but one of the updates from PlayStore removed it.
Nevertheless Greenify seems to be working fine though.
EDIT: All other root apps on my phone (OnePlus 2, stock OxygenOS 3.1) don't have any issues with root access.

Hello, I just flashed a ROM that allowed me to utilize Magisk but it's very new to me. Is there a way to hide root with Magisk from certain apps that block rooted phones? I have Xposed installed but RootCloak doesn't seem to work, I tried checking Hide Magisk in the settings but no luck. I'm trying to use Vudu's disc to digital option, which seems to kick an error when root's detected. I got around this with RootCloak on my last ROM, I'm hoping there's an alternative. Thanks in advance.
Magisk hide should work for banking apps now. Please update and see.

Uninstall Xposed first, then update Magisk.
Safetynet detects Xposed, that's why you won't be able to use banking apps when Xposed is installed.
HIT THANKS IF FOUND USEFUL
Hi, I hope I'm located rigth (please don't judge)
Forvarious reasons I definitly need to root my phone.
But on the other hand, I gotta use a banking app, which is able to detect root and crashes on startup.
I use Magisk Manager to hide root from apps like Snapchat and that works without any problem.
I started decompiling the banking app and even found the line where it chrashes, but couldn't make my way to the place where it really detects the root.
Does anyone have an idea what I could do. Any better method to hide root. Any ways that apps detect root, so I could try to find it in my banking app and find a method to hide.
Thanks for any effort. Feel free to ask anything I forgot
