Android 7.x & Android Pay??? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been trying multiple different 7.0 & 7.1 Roms, in hopes of upgrading to the new OS. I have yet to find one that I can use Android Pay (AP) with. I have tried several kernels that I hoped would work, but to no avail.
Now, I know Google made changes to Safety Net with Nougat to not allow AP and unlocked bootloaders. But I was curious if anyone has found a Rom or another way around this? I'd love to have both 7.1 and AP.
I currently use AP often, and like the convenience of it, but I've been trying to decide which is more important to me, AP or Nougat. So, if there's a way out there, please let me know.

As android N is not official it will not work. Only official google factory images work with AP.

not necessarily

I don't believe this is true. There are cyanogenmod roms that work with AP.
The requirements that Google added for AP's safetynet I believe are bypassable by a kernel patch if I remember correctly.
As for the other requirements, I have no idea what is needed.
I would love if I could have AP working on the pixel rom, or cyanogenmod for nexus 5.

I had been told that Franco Kernel would bypass, but I tried many times and different versions, and no luck.

Android Stock
Will it work on stock rom?

So far, even with an unlocked bootloader, it works on stock. 6.0.1

Thank You
Thank you a lot

Well, it was working on Stock. I tried to pay for my groceries at the supermarket over the weekend and got rejected with AP. I'm not sure if Google has made any additional changes, but my device passes SafetyNet.

Safetynet Help

No, i'm not stupid
Had many custom roms on my N5, and with No Root/Xposed and a Locked bootloader, i can use apps that use safetynet and also android pay - this includes 6.0.1 Roms released recently, including CM13 Nightlys.
Does anyone know why the android 7.1 Roms on here (i tested most of them) Fail safetynet? I get a bluescreen from Safetynet Helper, saying "Response Validation Failed" - this is with root removed, and bootloader still locked just as i had before with 6.x roms that were working fine. I have tried both Banks Dynamic Gapps and OpenGapps in case anyone was wondering.
I have also tried unlocking the bootloader before installing (doesnt usually make a difference for some reason) and i still get the blue fail screen.

I don't have any help, but I've been struggling with Android Pay and this same issue.

Yeah it's just the android 7 and 7.1 ROMs for the nexus 5, shame, as they run really well, much better than 6.x.x roms for me, but i use android pay.
Me too. I tried 7.1 many times, but I use AP too and at this point I'm not ready to give it up for 7.1, though I would really like the updated version. I kept hearing the Franco Kernel would bypass SafetyNet, but I've tried that many times and FK doesn't pass it either.

I'm not a programmer, but it just seems like there is a file or 2 missing that's preventing the service from sending the request. It's not Failing safetynet, it's just not getting the request back
I so wish I could us 7.1 and AP...
Any SafetyNet work for CM13 ? i use magisk 18 not work

Custom ROM - Android 6, PRE Nov 2016 security update - suggestions?

Hi all,
I'm looking for a custom rom that still has builds available from before the Nov 2016 security update.
Very specifically, I'm looking to run xposed and still passing safetynet, the last time I was able to do that was running an OS version that was that old. I was running CM 13 at the time, however I can't find an osprey build of CM mirrored somewhere from that time...
Any suggestions?
Edit: I still have a .zip file for a version of CM from before then, however it's for a different device... How different are the builds? Could it conceivably work? (other device is a Xiaomi Mi5)
I don't think you understand how safetynet works... it will autoupdate itself and it checks an online database, it doesn't matter if your ROM is prior to november 2016 or not.

That may well, be, but until I recently changed from my old version of CM 13 to LineagOS, I could run pokemon go with xposed installed! I no longer can...
I'd like to at least try it again, hence need either an old mirror of CM builds, or another custom ROM that keeps available old builds...

You can try, you need CM13 (or other Marshmallow base ROM), CM14 is Nougat based and uses a more advanced Safetynet API... In the Pixel with Nougat, just having an unlocked bootloader but otherwise purely stock will not allow a SafetyNet API verification, but I can't say it's the same for other devices.
Most custom ROMs don't work with Xposed anyway, it isn't supported so other than finding someone with an old CM13 build around you might be out of luck.

I use LOS, when I want to play Pokemon I just boot into recovery and flash the unroot zip. When I'm done, just root again. Sure it takes a couple minutes, but you get the best of both worlds.

I can play pogo on my rooter LOS device without a problem. Magisk takes care of it perfectly, no flashing required. Xposed is another story though!

New StatiXOS OFFICIAL 4.2 build for Essential PH-1

StatiXOS
Download StatiXOS for free. StatiXOS is a homebrew distribution of Android. StatiXOS is a custom ROM based on the Android Open Source Project aiming to be minimal and clean, while providing quality of life improvements and up to date security patches. This page is to provide downloads for...
sourceforge.net
4.2 has been release
"Introduce our OTA Updater!"
For those with the Chrome issue of freezing I have a fix that another user in another ROM thread accidentally found!
If you download
PH1-OTA-PQ1A.190105.090.zip
and then reboot into recovery (TWRP, be sure to disable pin on phone before hand and backup everything) then flash the above (I wiped everything first but DON'T wipe internal storage) then I did a second wipe of everything but internal storage and then I flashed 4.2 of StatiXOS and then I flashed TWRP, then I rebooted phone and set it up from new and restored everything from Cloud backup and I can confirm that I no longer have the Chrome freezing issue.
You can thank seungbaekm over in the Evolution-X 5.4 thread for this fix as he is the one that accidentally flashed the older PH-1 factory image and discovered Chrome then worked again! This should fix the issue for all the new Android 11 ROM 's out there for us folks that have the Chrome browser locking issues.
I did not even test the new 4.2 ROM on its own to see if it happens to fix the Chrome issue but I doubt that it does since it is not mentioned in the release notes. Also I have no idea if any of the other original factory images will also fix the issue, I only downloaded the one they he said he accidentally flashed and used it.
Hope this helps everyone with this issue as I know how frustrating it has been. Sure, there is the Bromite/Brave/Firefox work around, and I have been using and enjoying Bromite since 4.1 but I like having things working the way they are supposed to work.
Thanks you very much
I will test
Following this great insight about the fix of the Chromium issue, I only flashed mata PQ1A.190105.090 NOVENDOR firmware from this old thread, without wiping anything of my current StatiXOS 4.2 installation, and after booting Brave is working perfectly.
So, it seems the issue was caused not by the ROM system or vendor, but the mata QQ1A.200105.007 firmware.
As a consequence of flashing this old no system nor vendor firmware, my device baseband was downgraded, but mobile data seems to be working just fine. I guess it's possible to test newer firmware available at the referenced thread, like PQ1A.190105.112, QP1A.190711.107 or QP1A.190711.148, to identify the latest firmware free of the Chromium issue.
More good news: now Netflix is working fine, also.
UPDATE: I tried all the these firmwares and Netflix worked fine only with the Pie ones. So, PQ1A.190105.112 is the more recent mata firmware that I can use on my PH-1 with StatiXOS 4.2 in order to keep Chromium browsers and Netflix working.

This is some great news, thank you and SirDigitalKnight for the research! I haven't tried this fix yet, but I'm planning to when I flash this week if I do run into the chrome freeze problem. You mentioned this downgrades the device baseband version. I'm not too familiar with that, you did say it's working fine so far, but do you think that could cause issues in the future?
Just a question, does StatiXOS have slim recents included?

I have no idea if using a.Pie firmware could have side effects in the future. So far, I haven't seen any.
Using the StatiXOS Telegram support group, I shared the information about the different firmwares to the devs, so I think they'll tell us if something can go wrong in the future.

Just reporting that I did a clean install - "Fastboot -w" on the latest working firmware (JAN20 FW, FEB20 Vendor iirc) and I'm very impressed.
Plus replaced the screen, battery, and buttons cable and now the phone is "essentially" new. Parts are actually quite cheap.
Chrome is working without issues.
360 Camera is working without issues
Haven't tried sending SMS with VoLTE On yet.
Amazing that we still a maintainer.

The March 10th update they pushed out through the OTA updater worked perfectly. It is nice to see we still have good support on this great phone.

It's too much of a hassle for me to do this fix right now, and I admit I have adapted to using Bromite and Firefox, but I'll definitely keep this in mind for some other time when I feel more like it... BTW, I did check, and Chrome stil freezes on the latest 4.2 update, no surprise here.
This ROM has been working great for me, very stable, no issues, and the updates are a breeze, especially with the latest OTA updater.

You should be able to flash the older Pie firmware without wiping from what I have read but I have not tried that yet. I might try it with the very latest firmware of Pie, PQ1A.190105.112 and see if it screws anything up without wiping the phone. Anyway I always to a backup of the phone to the cloud and also of Whatsapp before I start messing around just in case I have to wipe and so far all my restores have worked perfectly, but yes it is a pain to have to setup wifi's and add back in BT devices and setup security and any double authentication apps you use. Getting used to it now though.

Flashing the contents of the attached files using fastboot should make your device to use last firmware for Android Pie, without losing your current ROM installation.

OK, here is my update... Noting your comment in the other post about the downgraded baseband, I decided to exclude the modem from flashing. Flashed everything else from PQ1A.190105.112-NOVENDOR via fastboot, rebooted, and... Chrome froze again. Ugh... :\ OK. I went back to fastboot and flashed the modem - this time after the reboot the problem was fixed.
So, I'd say it's safe to conclude that the modem (baseband) is the actual component that was screwing up the Chromium-based browsers. Go figure...
This ROM is great on the PH-1. At the moment I can't get the LED to blink when notifications arrive. The setting is toggled on.
I've installed magisk, nanodroid and microg (not tried that sort of thing before!). Could that have anything to do with it?

Even with stock rom LED is not blink if you're using stock messages, try Textra and see if it works for you.

I first rooted, then installed twrp, but couldn't boot to stock after flashing twrp, so tried flashing gsi arm64 ab, then gapps, and kernel, then it booted to welcome screen, but always random reboots all the time.. so I went back to stock..
From my experience with custom ROMs, I haven't found any good one with no bugs or crashes so I would only recommend one to use rooted stock. Just root your stock android and stick with it.

did samsung do something to prevent flashing of roms or what....
cause i want to get this phone and i want it to last long
There are yet no custom ROMs for this device as of what I have seen so far. *Talking about a ROM that is fimware supported and not a generic one* You can install GSIs, which are love and hate. GSIs are a generic images which can be run on any andorid device with treble support and API LEVEL 29 or higher, aka starting with android 9(oreo). There is no support for VERIFIED_BOOT. It uses HIDL vendor interfaces. I can only tell you to wait if you want a fimware supported ROM, LinageOS is beeing build. I'm currently playing with my ARCH build, I will make a ROM too, but when I get everything setup as it should be. I talked plenty and still do both on these forums and on telegram, you can find some my interesting sayings in my Explaining Thread... Forgot to meniton I would recomend you to try LIR or Los19 if you are looking for a good GSI. I still haven't tried Los19 because doing stuff with ARCH...

I want to flash a custom ROM on this phone. Is there somethings I need to be aware of?

Hello,
I own a motorola one vision and would like to flash LineageOS 20 on the device. I am creating this thread to know the experiences of people who did something similar. I would like to know if there is any issues with a custom ROM on this device [calling issues, or similar]. I would also like to know if there is a way to revert back to the stock ROM in case I screw up something. I have read several threads about this device but I would like to confirm it again and be provided with some pointers of what I could expect with a custom ROM on this device and how I could revert back to the stock ROM in case I screw something up.
Thanks in advance

I have been using lineageos since last year. I have used lineageos19 and am currently using lineageos20. The user experience is quite good. Everything works fine including calling except the hotspot. Hotspot does work but you have to keep tapping on the toggle to enable the hotspot or you can just restart the phone that's the temporary fix for the hotspot issue. The developer might fix the issue in the future updates. Other than that I didn't find any issue with the ROM and also it doesn't pass the safety net so you have to root your phone and install magisk to bypass safety net so that you can use your banking apps.
There are two versions official and unofficial. Official gets update every week and unofficial one is with the pixel features and google apps. It gets monthly updates.
If anything goes wrong you can install the official software called lenovo rescue and smart assistant on your pc and connect your phone with usb to pc. It can recover your phone to the original android 11 stock ROM.

Hey! Sorry for checking after this long. I don't plan on using any banking apps so it will be fine for me. I already got my unlock code and just have to unlock the device and flash LineageOS. I will do that after backing it up. Thank you for your sharing your experience !!!
