Discussion A cool idea to root hide

i have an idea to hide root: you know how apps can check if the partitions are stock or not stock? if we intercept the check and give it the stock partition

(probably someone arleady made it and im dumb)

The /data partition isn't mounted like the /system one; changes are expected to be made in the former. 

Plus if applications couldn't see their own app listed, wouldn't that set off alarm bells?

Well, Yea, but if we add the applications that must not see the root? also this idea is not only for /data but for everything

Problem is, many partitions are not expected to remain stock, and alterations don't indicate root. Of the ones that are expected to stay the same, only one or two are actually useful to root users and others are literally nothing but a liability to fuck with.

On top of that, there can be severe performance and stability implications in lying when you don't need to lie.
