Hide Root Status of Asus Zenfone 2

I need to do this because the latest V380 camera app will not open if the device is rooted

On the device, enable Developer Options and under Developer Options set Root access to [Apps and ADB]. Then slide Android debugging on.

Using the PC, download the recovery image from https://dl.twrp.me/Z00L/twrp-3.0.2-4-Z00L.img#google_vignette.

Plug the device is into the PC with the transfer file option and copy the TWRP image to the SDcard on the device.

Using the PC, download the last nightly build of the LineageOS from https://lineageosroms.com/Z00L/.

Unzip the downloaded LineageOS archive and copy boot.img to the SDcard on the device.

Using the PC, download Magisk from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases.

Copy the Magisk apk to the device and tap it to install.

Follow instructions at https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#magisk-in-recovery.

Need either boot.img or the TWRP img file to get Magisk installed with Zygisk.

Hide root using Magisk's DenyList feature. See https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/trick-apps-android-rooted/.

Now to install https://apkpure.com/v380-pro/com.macrovideo.v380pro.

V380 still not opening because of root.

Realized the Magisk solution only works if the device was rooted with Magisk.

Found a version of the V380 camera app that does not check for root. See https://v380.en.uptodown.com/android/post-download/1245979.

Maybe now I have the set up necessary to fabricate a rear view camera for my 2011 Victory Cross Country Motorcycle. The first one in the line up.
