Installation

1. Launch Xposed Installer or Edxposed manager and go to the Download section:
   
2. In the search field, type "Rootcloak" and click on "Rootcloak (with 5.x and 6.x support)"
   
3. Go to the Version subsection and click on Download:
   
4. After download, you will need to authorize Rootcloak module installation:
   
   
5. Go back and click on Install:
   
6. Once installed, you will still need to activate Rootcloak module. Go to the Modules section:
   
   Activate Rootcloak module.
   
7. Reboot the device with adb reboot. Do not reboot device from Xposed installer or Edxposed manager: this will freeze the device.

Usage

2. If your app is not in the list, you must then click the "+" sign to add it.
