I'm not willing to give up root due to lock bootloader on the phone but would still like to have the Live Broadcast update feature. Is the something which can be upgraded through an APK install of the latest youtube app possibly?

I haven't seen this posted but either the latest Sonos Update (Play 3 Software Update) or firmware update on the Transformer have now allowed Sonos to run. It's still the same app as the phone but it's a lot better than nothing, and not as buggy as Andronos.
Also, 3rd party widget out there now, needs some work but it's a start. Hoping Sonos steps up and develops the Honeycomb Tablet version and some widgets for both soon.
Certain apps of mine don't seem to be updating to the latest version or showing the update button in Google Play.
For example if an app received an update from the devs today and I want to update it, it doesn't allow me to.
Any ideas why?
Thanks!

maybe that version of the app isn't compatible with your android version?
I've been seeing a slight issue with people running Android M and trying to use Snapchat. Remember if you're going to test a developing OS you're going to run into issues and bugs like this one. On snapchat's recent update they changed some user interface. For some reason this caused the app to force close after you login. I have found a temporary solution. If you have the newest update for snapchat you will need to uninstall it and downgrade the apk so is running (Snapchat 9.10.June 16, 2015.) I'm only aware of this issue for the Nexus 5 running on Android M
I have listed the link to the apks location below. I do not support nor participate with the website this is just where I found the apk.
Turn off auto-updates apps!!!

So I finally spent a few moments trying to find a workaround for using peacock on my rooted Nvidia shield.
On rooted devices, Peacock will pretty much instantly force close.. Even if you're passing safety net and using magisk hide.
To workaround this I simply disabled three activities/permissions in the AndroidManifest.xml:
android:name="disabled_com.peacock.peacocktv.safetynet.SafetyNetErrorActivity"
android:name="disabled_com.peacock.peacocktv.ErrorActivity"
<uses-permission android:name="disabled_android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES" />
You'll more than likely need to have signature verification disabled, but I'm not 100% positive on that. Also, to be safe before opening the modified apk below, hide magisk from it.
IF YOU PREVIOUSLY HAD PEACOCK INSTALLED, CLEAR DATA AND UNINSTALL IT BEFORE INSTALLING THIS MODDED APK
APK is attached, just extract the zip and install the apk.. let me know if it works for you too..
Mirror Link:
Peacock.TV.ver.1.6.5-AndroidTV.build.222010605.apk - AnonFiles
anonfiles.com
No luck here, still force close on my 2017 Nvidia Shield. I cant even get an unmodded version to run on a unrooted 2017 running 8.2.3. Been trying off and on for over a year. Did have it up and running on an earlier firmware by installing before root. Stopped working after about 30 days.
It didn't work for me
Followed this guide to disable apk verification (didn't work without it) https://www.andnixsh.com/2020/01/how-to-install-unsigned-apk-root-method.html
After successfully installing, I open the app, see the Peacock logo, and then it force closes
Anyone get Peacock to work on rooted Android?
I say we just give Peacock feedback, I 1 starred their app and submitted to support that this is BS. Believe it or not I have a subscription and can't watch on my rooted Nvidia Shield
I was trying to test that on 2019 shield and it would fail from the start, i wonder what am i doing wrong?
If you need a tester, you can PM me and I can test them and let you know
Thank you @bobpiesz, I got your mod working on the FireTV 2nd gen Cube. I can confirm that all of the following are required:
- Your modded Peacock app
- Disabled signature verification in order to install modded Peacock app
- Magisk app needs to be hidden
- Peacock needs to be added to the Magisk denylist, and Enforce Denylist needs to be enabled.
If you open Peacock before you have done all of these steps, the app will remember that the device is rooted. So in this case you have to clear Peacock data & cache.
I wrote up the steps to disable signature verification here as well as the other steps. Feel free to cannibalize what you want
I modded Peacock v1.6.89 (~June 2022). There is at least one new root check in v1.7+ that will have to be found to get the newer releases working.
I removed one of the main activities from v1.6.89 so that the app now only creates 1 icon. On FireTV at least, only one of the two icons would launch without closing, so I removed it.
ok so i tried to use this on a android 11 android tv box and guess what it doesn't work like is there a version of this that actually works
Hello everyone!
First of all I hope that I didn't get the section wrong - if yes, just let me know
So, my dad have some big issue with Android System WebView in his car. He is pretty smart with technology so he was able to install his android system in car:
MCU Version: MTCE_MX_V3.73_1
Kernel Version: 4.19.111+
Compilation: rk3368-userdebug 10 QQ2A
Main goal for my dad is to use Internet Radios (stream) from APPS. After last update of Android System WebView every Radio app stopped working, like you turn them on, there is loading and app is going down. My dad uninstalled all up-dates from Android System WebView and apps started working properly (so we know where problem is) BUUUUUT, even when he TURNED OFF AUTO UPDATE on APP settings, and also on Google Play settings, his system updated it anyway.
Now we got problem because after this update, he can NOT use Chrome app or EVEN GOOGLE PLAY so actually he can not get into google play to uninstall updates. I know he did couple of factory resets to get back to properly working system but we need help for sure.
Any suggestions? We would like to make his radio apps working on, and how to force android TO NOT update this Android System WebView.
If You need some more informations just let me know, hope we can fix it.
Thanks!
You either stop all auto updates from the store settings or even better you disable auto updates for an application, once again from store, installed applications, find the application and turn auto updates off for it.
If you cannot open play store then maybe a reset is in need

We already did, like I wrote " even when he TURNED OFF AUTO UPDATE on APP settings, and also on Google Play settings, his system updated it anyway."
Thats the problem, we dont know why it was updated anyway after 2-3 days
Try WebView version 100.0.4896.127 from 04/14/2022. Chrome version: 100.0.4896.127 from 04/15/2022. Then disable updates for both.
You can use a VPN solution like afwall or tracker control to block internet access from play store, then update the apps using aurora store.
If magisk is installed you can get a proper solution to block access.
I use nanodroid system WebView module to have and "old" bromite WebView that isn't updated unless I do it. I don't update it because all webviews (chromium, bromite, mulch, google ...) stop working on my px6 with a recent version.
What about rooting the device and then using LuckyPatcher or something similar to delete it? I've been using LP on my phones for years, I haven't figured out how to safely root my PX6 RK3399 stereo yet but I'm looking around as I'm writing this.
