Time Warner Cable app for ICS (Fixed for Rooted Users)

First, I want to thank everyone involved in making this work for rooted phones.
Now, my little rant:
I don't like Time Warner. I'm sure most of us don't and we're forced to use them because they have a geographic monopoly. Of course, their cable box is the absolute worst. I preferred my parent's U-Verse boxes and while I hate AT&T more than Time Warner, given the opportunity I would switch to U-Verse.
Now Time Warner gives you the ability to watch Live TV. But, like others have mentioned, there's virtually no point to having Live TV on your phone at home when you have a TV connected to a higher quality stream. Of course, there is the "crapper" scenario, but I just pause the TV while I'm on the crapper. Not like I'm missing anything.
Time Warner continuously strives to suck more and more. There is no end to their suckiness. They provide sub-par HD service, sub-par internet service, and sub-par customer service. They even gave me a DVR box that's so old it doesn't have 1080p support.
::rant off::
I can't get this app to work at all, but I realized it won't benefit me in any way. I have a 50" screen in my living room and I'm picking up a 46" for my bedroom, so I can't think of where having TV on my phone inside my house would be useful.
But I wanted to mention for the developers (hope this helps):
When I try to log in, I have to turn my WiFi off first so it can authenticate, then when I want to hit the live TV button, I have to turn the WiFi on again. However, for whatever reason my phone just goes unresponsive for about 10 seconds before Android tells me that the app isn't responding and asks me to wait or close. If I keep the WiFi off and try to use the TV it tells me I need to be on the home network.

I am running the app on my rooted 4g Xoom running peter alfonsos ics rom.
Never have I seen the rooted error, on either version of the app.
However, here is my situation. I have roadrunner for internet, and directv for cable. My parents however have roadrunner and twc cable. So I log in as them, it sees their dvr but won't work with my roadrunner. So until a tweak, it has to be the same wifi in the same house.
Haven't tried it over on their wifi yet.
Can't wait to get this working off of the home network

Have you tried to reinstall the app from the link?

You have to be using wifi in the house which has twc subscription. They have some kind of authentication for that. Currently this app works only with wifi.

hahah i need something entertaining to watch while im at work.Why would you watch Fox News?
Has anyone had a chance to fix the new version of the app that is available for the RAZR Devices?
Can anyone share with me how they configured their SSH tunnel to allow this to work over mobile data? I have a rooted stock rom SGS3 and am stuck at the point where my SSH Tunnel app says "no route to host" when I try to connect to my home IP address from my phone. Any ideas?
Got live tv to work on a non-home wifi connection!
1. Installed copssh on my home pc.
2. Made an exception in my firewall for an ssh port.
3. Enabled port forwarding on my home. router and pointed it to my pc's local ip address.
4. Downloaded ssh tunnel on my phone.
5. Enable the connection.
6. Profit.
Note that it doesn't work over mobile data, but only other wifi connections; I haven't had any luck tricking the phone into thinking is 4g connection is wifi...

It was editing the build prop and taking out the test-keys that did the trick. Once that is done the regular market app works.
It still doesn't work well. It plays for a few seconds and then tells me "we are unable to present this channel at this time"
Thanks

5TWC just released the app that will allow you to stream the live TV shows from your phone. I got really excited to watch Game of Thrones.
But when I try to launch the app. It says it does not run on rooted device. WTF?
What is the difference between rooted or unrooted device when it comes to TWC app?
I tried to unroot with root keeper to run the app with no luck.
Any suggestions or workaround to get it working?
Update: Thanks to b00sted now rooted users can benefit from Time Warner App
Here is the link to fix : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24975697
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA Premium App22Cool glad we figured out what the main issue was. Now to see how to get it to allow watching live TV on mobile, or even another wifi network that isn't home network.
I see it in the coding, but not sure at all what you should comment out to make it bypass that
just keep tossing stuff at me to try. I am more than happy to hack away at it2i dont think it will work even if we delete the if statement
last ditch attempt,
make sure ur super user apk is named "Superuser.apk" in both the .smali and your phone
in \com.TWCableTV-1\smali\com\TWCableTV\androidphone\a\a.smali
change line 104 to const/4 v0, 0x1
change line 95 to const/4 v0, 0x0
i noticed that this block of code looks like a try and catch block and maybe a simple 1 true and 0 false will work.
/4 means 4 bits
When you press the live tv button a method is called to check if your systemfile has superuser.apk, the method has to return a value. The way i see it is that it returns either a 1 or 0. 1 means that your rooted, exits the app and 0 means your not lets you watch live tv
the way i set it up ,instead of it returning true(0x1) it will return false(0x0) and if its false it will return true.......so this means if you have Superuser.apk you can watch tv and if you don't then you can't.
