To make it very short: I have an app that will not run on a rootet device. I want to hide the Super User binary for that app - and only that app.

Is there an app that will hide the SU binary for a selection of apps without having to make a temporary unroot in Super User?

What you need is OTA RootKeeper. I use this app also, since tv2go application from my tv provider does not work with rooted phones.

There's temp unroot on SuperSU, but what app doesn't work with root?
This app will scan for root access and not open a media player if root access is found. I want to hide root from the app without having to make a temporary unroot.

The app is for a danish TV streaming service. The developer claims that they cannot secure the rights on rootet devices.

Did you even read my reply? I have had same problems with Slovenian TV provider, OTA RootKeeper helped me. It disable you root for the time you must have it off. So app will recognize your phone as non rooted phone.

How about to use Tasker or something to run shell
su -c busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
su -c mv /system/xbin/su /system/xbin/sx
sx -c mv /system/app/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuserr.apk
sx -c busybox mount -o ro,remount /system
when you open app?

I did read your reply.

My question however, is about a method to hide root access from this certain app, so to avoid having to make a temporary unroot.

If such a thing exist.

With OTA RootKeeper it works but it is on a basis of temporary unroot.

Thanks for your post anyway.
