how can I get the banking apps working on rooted XZ1? - Sony Xperia XZ1 Questions & Answers

Hi at all, I need a solution that I can use my banking apps with my rooted XZ1.
When I have no root on it, I can not use my camera (DRM Fix), so I want to use
all functions of this phone and also these special apps.
Is there someone with a solution for this problem?

Well....I had a straeming service that was restricted not to work with rooted devices. When I got the answer "it is just the way it is" I just discontinued the service and changed to another provider...
If your bank have an app that restricts rooted devices...just switch bank.

Most banks have this limitation in their apps.
It's not that easy to change the bank.

well....I have apps from four differents banks and none of them have this limitation. Actually I've never seens it in a banking app, just in streaming services, but maybe Swedish banks are "special", I don´t know

Hi,
Do not know with Sony roots method yet but when I was using HTC 10 those issues was resolved by using Magisk root method instead of the Super SU one.
Share your result if you find a way.
BTW : Streaming Netflix was and still is not possible on rooted devices... Except if you download the app and install it.

I would it testing, but I cannot install Magisk on my phone.
It depends on the firmware.

Swedbank, Swisch and BankID is working here at my rooted XZ1, too.
Maybe there is some weird security algorithms added on the bank apps over in Germany ;p

Try Magisk instead of SuperSU. On early phone, I noticed Magisk can somehow fool checks and it was possible even bypass Android Pay root check.
However I did not trie that on XZ1

Thanks for your answer, I tried it with Magisk and then it works, but without SU, I have no working camera

Right now DroidWall is your only option it may only block internet access but that's enough because for an app to steal your info and transfer it, it needs an internet connection.
Some apps need internet like facebook. But I don't want to share my contacts for example :/

Then you stop running bleeding edge and stick with standard until software catches up. LBE didn't work on ICS either when it first came out.
Not exactly what you're after but Lucky Patcher can remove/modify permissions of apps. Amongst other things.
Sent from my CM9 powered monster!
You could try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stericson.permissions&hl=en
LBE has a full-featured app that supports Android 4.1 They only make a Chinese version but the kind folks in this thread have been translating it into English.
Besides the 'Permissions Denied' that was pointed out before I use as a complement Gemini App Manager, that gives me a quick view of permissions used and allos to manage the 'autorun' oprtions of the apps:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5zZWFzbWluZC5hbmRyb2lkLmdtYXBwbWdyIl0.
It is apity that LBE does not work now because it was really usefull
What about PDroid?
If you dont mind patching your system, this tool will give you the ultimate control about the private data lurking apps.
Personally i can't imagine using a ROM without PDroid installed.
Too many apps want too much data wich have nothing to do with the data the apps needs to work fine, this private data lurking has gone out of joint!
Check out Pdroid 2.0 by CollegeDev for more infos.

Um...
I've gotten LBE to work on JB (4.1.1) just fine. See my instructions at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33569251&postcount=661

I doubt so, I'm using CM10 and nothing of this, maybe you mean MIUI? It had LBE as a default permission manager I think.
LBE 4.1.2224 works just fine on Android 4.1.
no !!!!!
DONT USE IT

if you happen to have made the mistake of installing LBE, you can fix permissions in recovery to be able to get back into the phone and uninstall LBE from the play store.

I was able to start superuser and remove the permissions for LBE in the few secs between bootloops. Once superuser permission is revoked it stops the bootloop. Bloody frustrating though, it took me 3 trys to be quick enough. Next time I'll use safe mode This renders the app useless though and I dont want apps reading my privy sh*t. just look at the permissions on Angry birds!
The newest version from the market still crashed my phone. Its now March 2013 so Jelly bean hardly 'bleeding edge' now.
Does anyone know when an update for Jellybean is out or even if they are working on it?

thansk for the link
Latest version for down can also be found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37660848&postcount=858
This is a good app. I think it could be a bit technical for some as there are a great deal more features in this than on privacy guard and the app ui is much busier due to the extra features (adaware, antivirus etc). The english on the latest version (4.4.2868 as of writing this) seems fine and it warns you if go to enable a feature which has not yet been translated, only 2 that I have found out of the many on there.

Unfortunately, it still seems to go into an infinite boot loop, JB 4.1.2 on razr maxx, when the active protection mode is enabled.
I ended up using Settings - Apps - LBE Privacy Guard - Force Stop - Uninstall as soon as the phone booted, to get it to stop.

[Q] so can anyone recommend a good app that'll hide root on lollipop??

so yea lollipop is here, but due to some circumstances rootcloak is no more not even usable via cydia, so has anyone found a stand alone app like rootcloak? as the bright house tv app is now rendered useless. ;P
I would also love to know when a solution comes along. I love Lollipop but I was using Rootcloak to be able to use MAAs360 on KK, so no work email right now.
I need root due to being on the N5 that unfortunately needs root to mod the sound system to be usable in situation...because I guess Google was unwilling to address a very widely know issue with their flagship phone. Ugh!
i have tried several root hiders and tried through supersu to hide root all with no luck i have a few apps that i wish i could use that root makes it impossible use them (all the sky apps and lloyds banking app to name a couple) i would love it if somebody could help out with this matter

Yea root clock plus runs only on cydia
Man, I know how you feel. I have a game that could only be blocked with Cydia Substrate and RootCloak Plus... but I'm not sure Cydia will ever be updated for ART/Lollipop. So... we may be screwed for a very long time.
Your right he has long left development when most used x posed. And with Google's new security it will be almost impossible to hide root.
Any news on this? I m still stuck on KK, Root Cloak doesn't work properly on Android L, at some point the app will just gives FC. Any other alternative?
I'd really like to know this as well. Overly paranoid corporations these days seem to be implementing root check security thus stonewalling anyone with a rooted device. This puts just about everyone running rooted Lollipop at a huge disadvantage when trying run anything from banking apps to games.
We need to put up the bat signal or something and call all devs here on XDA to arms bc this really sucks!
Rootcloak on Xperia Z Lollipop stopped working too. Hopefully someone will come up with a fix soon.
Helllllp developers
Still no luck till today?
This is what I'm mostly missing on my OnePlus One. Can't use my mobile payment app (UGO Wallet) without something like root cloak Wonder if there's a quick and easy way to unroot when I want to use it, an re-root when I'm done using the app.
Fastest way I have this moment is to unroot via SuperSU, then re-root via TWRP.
Still nothing? I need this too.
Bumpy bump xD

MrElectrifyer, I might have a solution for you. I was in the same boat as you. I am now able to use UGO Wallet with root. Result could vary because of hardware and OS.
My phone: Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
OS: Android Lollipop 5.1.1
Custom ROM: [ROM][G920/5 ○ 5.1.1 ○ 29AUG] XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition 2.3
Install xposed Framework and RootCloak v1.3 (Do not use v1.4 it will crash the UGO Wallet app)
1. Open RootCloak, Add/Remove "com.ugo.mobilewallet"
2. Clear cache, clear data and force stop UGO Wallet
3.Restart phone
You should now be able to get pass the root detected when UGO Wallet app is launched.
I encountered one more in app error, which was device hardware incompatible because I was using a US ROM. I simply edited my build.prop file to a supported Model number "ro.product.model=SM-G925W8"
Best of luck
Apparently it supports lollipop 5.0+ now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-rootcloak-completely-hide-root-t2574647

[Xposed][MODULE][5.0+] UnrestrictedGetTasks

Disable restricting Android API to get recent tasks in Lollipop and newer. This restriction causes that some apps (e.g. Greenify) don't work as they should, since Android now returns nothing or useless info when they want to get recent tasks. This module should fix it as it was before.

Thank you! Switchr now working on Lollipop with this!

Imho the app developers should update their apps. There are new permissions like PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS. I checked wiht an M emulator my apps (non-xposed & non-root apps) TaskManager and KeepRunning and they still work without this module

Is that a yes or no?
PackageUsageStats is not same as getRecentTasks. I doubt you can get same info from PUS as in getRecentTasks in pre-LP.
Hi,
May I ask what you mean by giving the example of Greenify? What exactly is the shortcoming with Greenify in L in contrast to pre-L?
I was following their change logs and it seems to me that there is nothing Greenify nowadays couldn't do in L. What am I missing?
I am just asking, because I am not sure why and whether I should install this module as a Greenify (beta) user.
Wouldn't it be easier to introduce your fix in their own code?
Modify module to work for only one app?
I'm wondering how I could modify this module to make it so that it only works for one particular app (Last App Switcher). I like the idea of Android preventing third party apps from getting my recent app details, but I also miss using LAS.
I'm thinking that in the call to XposedBridge.hookAllMethods() I could replace the third argument XC_MethodReplacement.returnConstant(true) with a instance of XC_MethodHook that checks the calling app's package name and if it matches the package I want to target (com.abhi.lastappswitcher) then it would return true, otherwise it would call the standard Android isGetTasksAllowed function normally. I've never done any Xposed development though so I'm not sure I'm going about it the right way.
Hi @pyler,
Is this module still needed in Android M for apps like Greenify?
Thanks

Needed for Marshmallow? Thx
Sent from my lightning fast SM-G930F (S7)
No, since many devs already use new APIs.. If you have old app, not updated for LP/MM, this maybe needed for full app functionality.
A fantastic module, some apps still require this to work, an app from myself for myself for example: RAMTool https://tiziocaio.store.aptoide.com/app/market/com.thepriest.andrea.ramtool/1422/22796519/RAM+Tool
Since my app analyzes recent and running apps and on a regular interval, I fear that using UsageStatsManager will degrade performance, I am afraid that the cpu will be more stressed.
Rewriting my code to get worse perfornce than before doesn't make me happy ...that's probably the reason i hadn't yet wrote it.
Are my fears unfounded?

You have root - now what?

What is the first thing you do when a new device that you own is rooted? What are your must have programs that require root? What mods are the first that you'll persue?
This is the first device I've had in years that acheived root - so exciting! Thanks for the hard work Tungkick and everyone else who chipped away on the road to a rooted Verizon V10.

Just a heads up that Disconnect and Disconnect Pro have been updated and now work on the Note 8. I've been using it for a few hours and had no problems. More info can be found in the Reddit thread from earlier today here.

The free version is only an ad blocker for the "Samsung Internet Browser" only. The Pro version blocks ads system wide. No issues with battery here.

I had the pro version for free as a special offer on galacy apps for my s7 edge but when I moved to the note 8 it didnt work and i uninstalled the app. I wanted to install agaim bit haf to pay the 22 eur to have it back. As i restored the note to factory settings and restired all my apps from samsung cloud, i managed to restore disconnect pro as well and just updated from Galaxy apps. No charge!
Hope this helps some of you.
I do have PIA vpn and someone mentioned Disconnect Pro is based on Knox. Is it ok to run both? Or Disconnect suffice? Reason I asked after I head over to their website and it says VPN so yeah I am confused here lol.

It's not like adaway. It would be better if you get info from there website.It blocks ad trackers. In my opinion it does a great job of stopping ads coming through and no permanent notification showing all the time. Also disconnect pro uses Knox not vpn
I wanted to wait before responding to make sure there weren't any issues that popped up later. I'm happy to say that Disconnect Pro is working well. No battery drain (Knox based), you should be able to use a VPN with it.
If you bought it or got it for free with the S7Edge, just make sure you're signed into the Galaxy Apps Store with the same account and you won't have to pay. The button will have a price, but it won't ask for any verification and will skip directly to installing.

I tried side loading it on my N950F which has Knox tripped and is running the Renovate ROM. It installed. There was a three step process to initialize it. On the second step, it hung. I'm going to contact the developer and see what they recommend.
