How to hide/disguise root? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers

I have an S7 Active through At&t and some of my apps do not work anymore. Is there anyway to hide the root, so that I can still use the apps that don't appreciate rooted phones?

Hide my root app by Amphoras in the play store. I've used it on all my rooted devices, last rooted phone even Android pay worked

[Q] Using Isis Wallet on Rooted AT&T G3

I have a rooted G3 and everytime I use it, there is a prompt that comes up and tells me that its not supported on a rooted device. So I looked into it and downloaded Root Cloak and added Isis to it and then it works perfectly. It seems like the cloak only sticks for a few hours and then its back to not working when you open up Isis. Does anyone else have a working solution to get this permanently working on their rooted G3?
On My rooted xperia TL I can use the temporary un root option in the super user app. Not the most convenient option, but I rarely use ISIS on a whim, and having no root for short periods of time is not a big deal for me.
Download xposed and root cloak it works because I'm using it right now
Here is the app in xposed and another one with Isis working

[Q] android pay working for anyone?

I am running on stock rooted OF8 and can't seem to run android pay. Setting it up it says that it can't determine if it is compatible. Google wallet did work before. Anyone else run into this?
Apparently it doesn't work on rooted phones. Read some where that you can activate it and then root afterwards but haven't tried it yet.

works for me non root for now
Were i can find android pay ?
It worked for me non rooted at a vending machine. Though rooted or not at Maverick and Smiths, (3 times total) it has caused my phone to freeze after I verify my pattern lock.
Anyone having that issue?
Haven't been even able to set it up. Rooted on OF8. I'm going to flash the new build tonight and see if I can get it working before I root again and see what happens.
Use an app like RootCloak or HideMyRoot. Once you hide root you can add your cards with no problems. Using it to pay you will need to hide root again.... way too many steps for it to be convenient for me.

Where can I get a working version of either of those apps? All the ones I found doing a Google search are outdated and people say they don't work anymore.
I use Hide My Root from the PlayStore. It worked for what i needed but you cant use it for individual apps like RootCloak can. I'm odexed and can't get RootCloak going.

[Q] Help with getting Android Pay to work on rooted Note 4 with CM12.1

I need help with getting Android Pay to work on my rooted Note 4 because I keep getting the Android Pay cannot be used message. I do know that Android Pay does does block rooted users so I've tried various workarounds with none of them working.
I tried the method where I installed Root Cloak and added Android Pay, Google Play Service and Google Service Framework to apps it hides root from and cleared the data from those 3 apps. I also installed No Device Check since from what I saw, Android Pay does use SafetyNet to check your devices firmware whether it has been modified or not. Does anybody have any ideas of how to get this to work without losing root access or having to go back to stock?

I'm running CM12.1 if that matters. Would it work even with that or would I have to be running stock?
Im on stock however rooted using beastmode and twrp recovery. I disabled supersu and was able to add my credit cards however when i go to use it for example at a vending machine at school i get a message that says something like, Amex**** is unable to be used at this time and the same goes for my discover.
any ideas how to fix?

Android pay on rooted lgg4

I have a rooted lg g4 vs98613b
Is there a way to get android pay working fully or no. I did some research and no go for me
I have tried many different ways to get this to work. I've tried hiding root, removing SuperSU, and, many many McDoubles later, AP will only work on stock unrooted firmware.
Ya, one of the downsides to having root
I installed Xposed and tried hiding root, but no go. Still have not found a way to make it work while phone is rooted unfortunately.
I guess when my VZW phone eventually gets 6.0 I'll have to make a decision to keep root or upgrade and finally be able to use android pay....
I have a Nexus 6P and it looks like Google blocked it. We used to be able to use systemless root and remove some SU files, but now that doesn't work.
I didnt know i had replies in here. Ya it sucks not to have it and i love the nfc feature

[ROOT] Root + applications

Is it possible to still use apps like Snapchat, bank apps, etc. when rooted/xposed installed?
If yes, does it run without issues or do I have to get some workarounds/tricks?
I'm rooted and I was able to use bank app, BUT everything depends of the devs of the app that you use. I read that snapchat doesn't work anymore on rooted phone. Also I think there was app in xposed that can hide root temporary or something. Can't say for sure because I never use it cuz I never need it, but I think is possible. Don't forget you can use adaway if you are rooted.

oh, that bad that now SC doesn't even support rooted, is there at least a way to "disable" root for some time? Some flashable zips to uninstall/install root by "current needs"?
I think there is xposed module for that but can't test because still no xposed for nougat.

I'm on s. Rom marshmallow sense, but using xposed and any module to hide root is possible (I'm using rootcloack module and works perfect) I don't use snapchat but some other apps which don't run on rooted phone , but I'm using them with above setup.
