Is there a current method/app/ROM that will allow me to rent play movies if I unlock and/or root?

I'm not sure what you mean.
Having a rooted device does not disable the ability to rent from Play movies.

Really? I guess I have been away for a while then, because that was my experience with my Galaxy s III. http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/05/android-movie-rental/

So has the ban been lifted?

It was lifted a long time ago. It was only a problem at the beginning, but was later patched in an update.

I see with the 3.1 update there is a Movies section in the Market. But its empty.
Is this a US only thing?

Yeah, I believe at least initially that you can only rent the movies from the US - hopefully they will be rolled out to other countries eventually.

What a small world. At least I gave you credit.
Haven't seen this mentioned here. It's been confirmed on Twitter that the Nokia 8 will get ARCore support and face unlock.
No ETA yet, but it's really cool to see the continued support for Nokia OG flagship :good:

I don't really think they did. They did, however, promise to look into it at some unspecified time while making clear it's not a top priority: Twitter thread. It's probably even less of a priority for them now.
I'm not worried about ARCore and face unlock :cyclops:
lol, ARCore on this phone won't have any devs. You know why?
Because the majority of devs ditched this phone because of no official bootloader unlock.
Ironic, isn't it.

Isn't the point of it getting ARCore that it will be able to run standard ARCore apps? I can live without creepy Samsung cartoon emoji ?
Phone has been out for 10 months, receives regular updates on time so who cares about unlocked bootloader..? And if it's so important to you why did you even buy it without making sure it can be unlocked at first. Typical XDA whine...

Has also got me out of the continuous wipe, flash and setup routine. Liberating. Just hope Nokia at least decide to support development when they stop.

Firstly, How long do you thing you'll recieve regular updates? HMD almost have started abandoning their first flagship.
Secondly, when the phone was released, who knew that hmd will not be providing support for unlocking bootloader. Everyone bought it with a hope and love for Nokia brand
But the face unlock is already in the security settings. Just active the trust factor for Google Smart Lock and you've got the last option on Smart Lock list which is face unlock.

Disable SmartLock, restart the phone and enable it back again. It should do the work.

Hi, i am very curious on the rooting scenario.. what happens if i unlock the bootloader and root my op7, wich features do i miss out on and does it do anything special? I want to use substratum, since i like to theme my phones ?
You will lose Widevine L1 which will means you cannot view DRM video in anything but 480p. (ie. Netflix will not play HD video)

Correct. It reads the security level as L3 and just downloads the content in 480p. I've tried this before and it was still just L3 and not L1

Is it permanently lost, or can you recover it by re-locking the bootloader?

On older Oneplus Phones it is recovered by re-locking it (read here for example), haven't read any statements for the OP7, though I would assume it's the same.

Lmao! Come on now this isn't like back in the day where you entered line by line in adb.. They could also just want to unlock the bootloader to convert their tmo OP to an international and don't really care about root.

A lot of banking apps won't work on rooted devices due to the security risk it poses to your accounts with those banks. I have also read that Pokémon Go also does not work on rotted devices. You will also lose Google Pay.

Isnt there some app like gearbox or something that can hide the detection in apps? I think i did this back in the day ?
Yes, you can just hide those apps using magisk hide in the magisk manager. It works with all banking apps, for me.

What do you mean exactly? You can pretty much hide any app that has root detection. Even Google pay works.

Hi
I just got my OnePlus 7 Pro and I've tried downloading some torrents.
On all my previous devices I could play the .MP4 file, for example, while it was still downloading, almost simulating a stream.
OnePlus 7 Pro on the other hand, simply doesn't work, can't play the file, as if it were corrupted.
Has anyone tried? Or explored this side?
Can someone help to fix this? Workaround or something ?
Please
Thank you.

It's dependant on the torrent client, you need to download in sequential order.

this one worked inside the app itself, although it wouldn't let me use another one, like an external player.

How can it not? I can literally use another OLDER, CHEAPER android phone and it works.
So I do believe it has something to do with the phone OR android version Q.
Either way doesn't work, and it's something I do need at a lot for work.
