Gave this a try out of curiosity, and it seems like hiding root from apps such as Snapchat and Mario Run work great. However, I'm unable to pass SafetyNet.
I'm doing this simply out of curiosity and do not require SafetyNet to be passed, but I'm just playing around with this and seeing if I can make it work. I'm wondering if I did need it to pass, do I need to hide something other than Google Play Services in suhide? Also, should I be selecting the "hide root" option (red icon) or hidden from other apps (blue icon)?
I am using a Google Pixel XL, so I'm not sure if this may be the reason of SafetyNet failing (because of the A/B layout).
