Not working on NON ROOTED device

[x80286]

Hello,

Airgap Vault is not working on a non-rooted device — it tells me my device is rooted. It lets me create and back up the seed phrase, but when I try to access it, it simply doesn’t work and shows “something went wrong.”

I understand it relies on RootBeer to check for root, but RootBeer falsely reports my device as rooted — which it is not.

My device is a Fort Knox–level secure device: a tablet flashed with LineageOS, never been online and cannot be online. Using ADB root, I permanently disabled Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functionalities, and it has no SIM card or data function by design (Wi-Fi only tablet). The storage is also AES encrypted.

I know you do this for security, but it has the opposite effect — I will either install a less secure app or use Airgap Vault on my online daily phone (even if inside a separate user space, it’s still online).

I would like you to add the possibility to bypass the root check for advanced users.

Also, I tried forking the project and disabling the root check, which I succeeded in doing, but for some reason the release APK gets stuck at the launch logo. I don’t want to invest more time and effort to find out why.

I've created an internal ticket to explore the option of bypassing the root device check. I'll follow up on this in the coming weeks as we discuss it further internally to determine whether we’ll proceed with it.
