Software modification (phone "jailbreaked")

[mammaess]

I am trying to download an app from Danske Bank, Mobil-ID. After downloading, I received a message that my operating system has been “jailbreaked”. Is the fact that it’s been modified okay, or has my phone been hacked?

On the FP1 you normally have root access to your phone.

Banking apps don’t like that.

So, I guess your system is okay, but rooted. If the banking app works, than you can use it.

If the banking app works, than you can use it.

If it doesn’t, you can try to hide root. (see dic:root )

How do I hide root? I’m not sure what that means, and my geek husband is not around. Thanks1

Yes there might be one. ##How to hide root access The Xposed app which allows to modify your Android after boot with different modules ( for example GravityBox which can hide the second sim bar and other stuff). One of the modules is RootCloak. This should allow to hide the root access from selected apps. There is some risk as Xposed can modify almost everything on Android so take care which modules you use. However Xposed is often used and amongst the module developers are a lot of well known…

I just added it to dic:root , it wasn’t very clear, sorry.
