I downloaded the time Warner Cable app today, then it said it was for Android 4.0 or higher. So I flashed the sensewich rom (sense 4.0) and it said the app isn't for rooted phones. Does anyone know a way to get it to work on gingerbread or a rooted 4.0 rom?

The app runs, but I can't view live tv.

Try the Market app "OTA Rootkeeper", which has the ability to temp unroot. Not sure about the Time Warner app you are talking about, but OTA Rootkeeper seems to work for other movie streaming apps with root restrictions.

If I recall, some applications do a check for the superuser apk on the phone. If the Root Manager doesn't work, you may want to try renaming the SU app.

To be clear, you installed OTA Rootkeeper, opened the app, and selected temp unroot? You may need to also reboot, to make sure nothing is lingering in memory that would indicate root.

Yeah, I didn't reboot though, as I thought that would enable root again. Ill try rebooting and trying. Thanks.

Probably a long shot, and might not make a difference. But worth a try, anyway.

Use a file explorer (needs root) to rename superuser.apk in /system/app/

I changed the name of the Superusers apk and it worked for me.
