I would like to flash a CM 14.1 based ROM on my OPO, but i need to be able to use my bank app which relies on NFC. The fact here is, if i use any ROM different of Cyanogen OS (official), it says my device is unsecure. (Didn't try OOS but I prefer COS). Is there any way of being able to use that app on an unofficial or official cm nightly rom? Thanks.
Short answer (If your bank app uses safety net like Android Pay does): no. You can't use a modded OS if you want to be able to use something like Android Pay.
Someone who knows a workaround (if one exists) can comment beyond what I've said. Sorry, bro.

Most of the CM 14.1 ROMs are pre-rooted , that means the rom is already rooted. It triggers the safety net api used by your bank app. You should try Tugapower which is pre-rooted with SuperSu bu Chainfire.
In the app menu, you can search for full unroot. It will remove the root from the system . Then you can check for the SafteyNet helper app on Play Store. If your device passes the test, the bank app will work on it.
Or if you want root access, you can use SuHide which is supported by Tugapower rom. Google how to use SuHide.
You can also try AOSP builds of updateing and kwoktopus.
It doesn't come with root by default. It may run bank app on your device.
Hope the answer helped! Thanks

Is there a working TB ROM that would allow us to download and play this App "Ultimate Special Fx"
It says it requires Android v2.3.7 Gingerbread or higher to run.
I'm running ThunderShed CM7 , when I last checked said it was 2.3.7.
Any thoughts ??
android versions
i've never heard of or used ultimate special fx, but you are correct, thundershed is android version 2.3.7. as i'm unfamiliar with the app in question, and am not sure if there are other hardware/software prerequisites to running the app besides the android version, i can only break down android versions types of roms use as a base. the open mobile leak/mr4 roms are android version 2.3.6. the roms based off of 2.11.605.9 are android 2.3.4 i believe. but yes, in theory, thundershed should be able to run the app.

Thanks for your reply here is the link to the APP. I was also looking for prerequisites but all that is says 2.3.7 and above. I'm wondering if Play Store is set to block all TB roms till the official ICS for TB is released by VZW.
Check out Ultimate Special Fx on Google Play! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.techcatmobile.ultimatespecialfx
Yes, play store restricts apps you can view based on your device id and android version for compatibility reasons, and to protect consumers from purchasing apps they can't run. Also, devices can be blocked from viewing apps in play store because the developer has chosen to restrict them or doesn't support them. Custom roms also sometimes change the device id in the build prop to one that play store doesn't understand or recognize. It's still possible to get around this though. You can either download the app from your computer and move it to your phone, or modify your build prop file with a root browser to reflect a different and compatible device and obtain the app normally. With either course of action, the app chainfire3D can be used to scale the graphical/processing demands of ultimate special fx to fit the thunderbolt's gpu. Keep in mind, I personally haven't tried to do this, it's just a suggestion to try if you're bound and determined to get the app. Hope that helps.

Here is the APK file. I dowloaded it via my PC and threw (USB) it over to my TB and it works good.
Please Note** You still need to be v2.3.7
So I've downloaded all the stuff and made my mind to root the device.
Just some final questions..
1) I would be installing Xposed Framework on the device, will it hinder any OTA updates to the stock ROM?
2) If I install a custom ROM like CM, and then let's say Android 4.4.3 comes out... What should I do to update to the Android 4.4.3?
3) What is the need of getting Gapps when flashing a custom ROM? Aren't Gapps already present in Android?
4) Any other drawback of installing a Custom ROM?
Don't forget to search. Every thing you need to know is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47369234

Okay searching XDA is the best way to find out these answers, but I'll help you
1.) Using Xposed framework will stop you from receiving otas
2.) If you're running a custom ROM when 4.4.3 drops, all you will need to do is flash any 4.4.3 ROM that drops to update. Believe me, when it drops it won't be long before some 4.4.3 custom ROMs surface.
3.) Most custom ROMs do not include gapps. You'll need to flash those separately. Read the ops of each ROM you're interested in to find out if they're included.
4.) You have a Nexus, they're made to be rooted. Lol

If you're using a custom ROM though like CM, 4.4.3 doesn't really matter. Since it's a custom ROM it won't be releasing an update at the same time as google. It would be whenever CM releases their update that's based on 4.4.3. Anyone should feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though. I'm fairly new to everything as well.
I have not unlocked my bootloader.. And have many things on my device [Been Using It For Over A Month]
I have many apps, contacts, app save files [games], etc.
Will I need to re-download all the apps again? Is there any way i could preserve this data? What all can I preserve.
Also, any Custom ROM suggestion. I liked Paranoid Android, but it releases a new beta like every week... This means that I'll have to flash it again? Leading to data loss every time?
I use this device as my primary device
Use helium to backup. We will not suggest you a rom.

Hi,
No need to flash obviously all the new update if you don't want unless there is an important bug fixed or a new feature you want. You can dirty flash (wipe only Dalvik cache and cache partition) so you won't loose your data.

Because it turns into something like "best" rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/best-rom-kernel-threads-t2477889... And you will have 20 different suggestions depending of each users needs, it will not help you more.
You need to test by yourself, read the OP of the rom threads to see the features, issue, videos, etc... read the last pages of the rom thread for feedbacks.
So.. I just want customizations to make android fun.. Paranoid would be fine?

Here is the list of ROMS for Nexus 5, http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...dex-google-nexus-5-roms-kernels-mods-t2475401
So I've been using the SultanOS CM based rom on my OPO and I really want to switch to a 7.1 based version of Android.
A few questions I have are:
1. Are the nightly builds ready and daily driver material like CM was and like SultainOS is?
2. Does it come pre-rooted or not? I personally prefer no Root to be added to the ROM itself so things like Google Pay and certain games I play work no problem.
All other 7.1 roms came pre-rooted so I ended up not using them (tried un-rooting them too but it didn't work since it was hardwired into the OS)

1. Yes, i'm using LineageOS with Boeffla Kernel and i never got any problem. I'm using ressurection remix before i switch to LinOS. So far so good. It lacks of customization but it's the best 7.1.1 i've ever use. The battery performance is great also. Before i sleep, i leave my phone 100% (With wifi, sync on, with instagram snapchat whatsapp twitter and line apps). I wake up with 97% battery.
2. I think it's not pre-rooted. If you want root, you need to download SU Addon in https://download.lineageos.org/extras and then flash it via recovery. Download the ARM version, not x86 nor ARM64
After countless hours of attempting to install SuHide together with the latest SuperSU v2.78 SR1 on my Oneplus One I've given up. I've also tried SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3.
This used to work before just fine, I'm trying to do this on "cm-13.0-20161220-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO3XH-bacon" ROM. Is it because of the ROM that I keep getting a bootloop?
Because I used to install this just fine, on nightlies. Though I can no longer download those. :/ (If anyone could provide me a nightly before the november security update, you'd be a saint. I suspect this is the issue.)
Many thanks.
I had that problem, too and I'm running on a AOSP build NOF26W. You can also find it here in the One Development forum. If you're using suhide for snapchat, try out to install and log in the app before rooting. It solved the problem for me. Maybe also for other apps than snapchat. Don't know what causes the problem though... Hope that helped a little! Cheers

I'm trying to play Pokémon Go with root switch, it worked before but since the november Android update it's been killed off. Might you have a Nightly before the november update of CM 13?
Thanks for the info btw.

I was running CM14 before, but I don't have the nightly anymore... I suggest using Magisk as Superuser App instead of SuperSU. It comes with integrated hide option, so you won't run into the suhide problem.
I know these threads are frowned upon bc everyone has their own preferences but I'm just curious what roms y'all are running. What is the smoothest ROM right now. I live bring to customize with fonts and colors in the status bar and what not.
I'm on Resurrection but just wanting to change it up. I wish dirty unicorns was on here I used to flash that back in the day and loved it!!!
Ive tried Bliss and ParanoidAndroid but went back to stock with custom kernel as I have way better battery life.

is it possible to have custom kernels with unrooted device and stock os? also, what custom kernle are you using if it's not a secret?
I've been on Havoc and then Omni Treskmod but both had certain issues (battery life / banking apps / default camera not working etc.) so I'm really thinking of reverting back to stock and unrooting the device. But I also enjoy some of the custom kernel features that are available out there so was wondering if it's possible to get best of both worlds

I dont believe that is possible. I use Elementalx and have no issues like that. Banking app is probably just because of root.

It definitely is because of root but I was unsuccessful in trying to hide root with Magisk... So seems like the only way to go is to revert back to stock without root...

Seems like it. Although, when my banking app had tap to pay built in, I was able to hide root and use it. Now I'm forced to use google pay and I can't get it to work while rooted.

I've used it, thought it was good. But pretty sure everything is running better on stock. Even with other magisk and EdXposed modules.
I think I am going to go back to RR. I was on it but had an issue with the sound. I flash oos and miss RR already lol

My favorite has always been elementalx. It's great on every device I've had.
What about resurrection vs crdroid? I Ave been reading on both and both seems stable and good.
I've tried multiple custom roms but keeping coming back to stock, every rom seems to have some kind of functionality missing that the stock rom has, it's not worth it to lose base functionality just to have something different looking.

Yes, you can use alot of custom kernels unrooted. I have used Weeb and blu_spark unrooted without any problems and with Safety Net passing. If they are designed to work out of the box without any configuration with root apps and have CTS check bypass (kernel level) it should work without a problem like stock/unrooted, little research might be needed tho. Good luck.

Thanks for your input. I have actually unrooted my device and with a little bit of debloating I am getting the best battery life I have ever had (compared to quite a few custom roms & kernels I have tried out) + I was also able to get GCam with aux lenses, Youtube Vanced and get all the customization I need using Nova Prime Launcher. Really don't see myself coming back to any custom rom, as they tend to have bugs here and there, or have something that simply doesn't work the way it should. Stock everything gives me everything I need from this phone :good:
