Hack a sneaky...

Hmm interesting.

I have the same vulnerability. But the "period" is much shorter that I can only "highlight" the Apps.. it doesn't launch them to background. Or in the case of the "Phone App" it doesn't bring it forth.

This is very identicle to the vulnerability found in the latest(s) iOS versions. Really, Samsung's gone too far with this copy cat business.

Sadly this is what happens when innovation is lacking in the market... I personally felt with S2 onwards Samsung were going their own way instead of following Apple's path but old habits die hard

Finally updated my N900 to a samsung galaxy note 2, rooted it and got six axis working (wireless), then realised skygo will not work with rooted phones/tablets........doh !!!!!!!!

Does anyone here know of any workaround on this i have trawled through google and found no decisive fix for this yet?

You haven't been looking hard enough.
A quick google brings a dozen threads tackling the issue.

Looks like the App searches your phone for the Superuser and SuperSU App and the like. It actually works with r00t, but if it detects you're r00ted it will disable itself. Basically, you need to beat the detection by either "hide" r00t or remove the detected sequence (or another means).

Here's one working (supposedly) solution:

As I said in my post 'I have found no decisive working fix' I have tried all fixes, workarounds and hacks and none seem to work.

Skygo checks around 5 or 6 files or folders and hiding root works on a few of them but rooting leaves trails in other folders which skygo picks up on.

I know people are working on this solution and I will have to keep looking and being patient.

Really good to see the information here.

I'm thinking that you should overwrite everything without root.
Then install and use SkyGo App.
Afterwards, Stop the App from Running (not clear data or uninstall it).
Then root your phone.
Then hide root and make sure you don't have any root associated Apps around (SU, TBU, RExpl, SysTun).
...now run the SkyGo App.

It should, theoretically, work as if normal. If done right there isn't a reason not to.

And if you're very dedicated you can source the mechanism. So that you can have all your Root Apps, and that you simply Stop the App from working when you're finished with it. And un-hide root and your Root Apps. When you wanna SkyGo, just hide root and the Apps again.

Or even better (but potentially harder) way would be to "crack" the file so that it also shows "false" when "root check" is initiated. This is a popular App so I wouldn't be surprised if someones done it already, try to ask around in irc etc etc and search the world wide west.

Thanks for that some good ideas there, if i find a definite working fix i will post it here.
