Rootkeeper is one app that keeps popping up, allows you to dis/enable root on-the-fly.
There's also Sky Go workarounds over on XDA.

This is what i had read was a work around but a lot of issues with going back to root.

Android offers about 10% more customisation than iOS without root (equivilent of jailbreak) so this whole 'android is WAY more customisable' thing is massively overstated.

i mean, ios is slagged for being restrictive etc, but if an app comes out it works. theres that many versions of androids and devices even if an app does come out it may not work on your software version and even if it does it might not work on your combination of hardware and software. things like this seem to be overlooked by android fanboys because they can have widgets and moving wallpapers

Apart from having to wait months/years/never for an upate :(

I'm still waiting for 4.1.2 on my brand new recent handset meanwhile 4.2 is out :lol:

If that is what Lee meant then my apologies :thumbs:


Still, there's plenty of workarounds so it's a bit of a non-issue.

So having a rooted Android device that prevents Sky Go functioning, 'fucks android'; yet having a jailbroken iOS device that also stops Sky Go functioning is fine?

Stop talking shite Lee :lol:


As mentioned, like iOS there are workarounds to get Sky Go working on rooted devices.
