Android Pay & custom rom

So I have tripped KNOX already. I'm using TWRP, Xstrolite 2.3.
I've tried unchecking superSU root and retrying. I've tried using root cloaker.
Is there an easy way to not have the bootloader unlocked? Or is it once I flashed TWRP, its unlocked forever.
Has anyone else been able to successfully use Android Pay? Post your experience

I'm in the same boat as you, I've tried disabling SuperSU and using root cloak as well to no avail. I've also got the Xtrestolite ROM running Unikernel V8 and I keep getting compatibility errors no matter what I seem to do. Could it be possible that Android Pay is detecting that KNOX is compromised and therefore disabling Android Pay? The only other thing I can think of is that running a custom ROM somehow prevents Android Pay from being compatible. I'm almost tempted to make a nandroid backup and temporarily install the stock ROM to see if that solves the problem.

Exactly.. Or that we're running a custom recovery too.
My thought is that the xstolite rom makes your phone be seen as a s6 edge.. Wonder if that affects things too. Though I've changed in the build prop back to 920T.
Would be a big bummer for us who've tripped Knox getting screwed out of android and Samsung pay. Others with rooted phones, have said it works.

I also changed the build prop to reflect my SM-G920F model. I really wish I could get Android Pay to function on this device, I tripped KNOX with the full understanding that I was going to lose the ability to use Samsung Pay but never did I imagine that using a custom ROM would cause me to compromise Android Pay as well. I purchased an international unlocked model of the S6 so naturally, the bootloader was unlocked from the factory, I don't know if having an unlocked bootloader necessarily causes you to lose Android Pay. It either has to be due to the fact that we're running a custom ROM, custom recovery, or because KNOX is tripped and it's preventing AP to run like it should.

Try installing the stock rom for your phone. Then under supersu simply uncheck root and see if adding the cards work

I have it running and got my bank card added haven't had a chance to use it though. I'm using TWRP on WanamLite, Adam kernel, with Xposed and a whole lot of stock apps deleted including KNOX and private mode. All I did was unroot, install, AP, root, profit. I'm guessing its something missing from XtreStoLite.

When you said you unrooted.. did you uncheck the root box in SU app or uninstalled all together and then reinstalled?

Full unroot under the Cleanup section
Sent from my SM-G920F

think its reading something in the buildprop similar to how google wallet did.
i also tried modifying a few things in build prop to show official firmware nomenclature to no avail.

After you did full unroot. did you reboot? and to reinstall root, you flashed zip again? or what

After unrooting within SU app I just activated my card then reflashed the zip in recovery.

wouldn't let me set it up on my g920a rooted with custom rom at first.
all i did was go to my super su app from chainfire disabled root and without reboot went back into android pay after i closed it and it let me set up my cards from my Google wallet and a new one. then i went back to the su app and enabled su again.

XtreStoLite 1.5 on att

So has anyone got this working on XtreStoLite 2.3 ? Maybe just something that needs to be added to the rom?

So i did a fresh install but with Tyrannus rom 5.1, it runs the same base as Xstolite (I believe)
I got android pay working on tyrannus rom 5.1
maybe try backing up your current setup, wipe and flash the rom and first thign you do is try android pay and see if it works. Thats what I did on the rom im running now

I got it working on Tyrannus as well...briefly...although I am not sure how I did it.
Currently on XtreStoLite 2.3, using Xposed + No Device Check and an app called SafetyNet Helper...it says my device is good to go, but Android Pay won't work still.
I hope someone is able to pinpoint what prevents it from working and how to spoof it. I tend to have my phone in my hands a lot more than my wallet.

K, got it working. Fresh install of Tyrannus 5.1, did NOT install Xposed. Immediately turned SU off after 1st boot, before updating Google Play Services. Was then able to activate Android Pay and add cards.
Update 20150924: tried to use it at McDonalds for tap and pay. Android Pay started when tapped but never completed the transaction and I had to use my card.

Gear S2 and CM ROMS

Anyone get the Gear S2 watch working in a custom rom like CM? CM13?

Still trying to get my gear s2 working on my galaxy s5 running CyanogenMod 12.1

Worked fine for me with oneplus one. Just make sure you light reset the watch any time you try a new rom
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

Yea tried that. Normally thr gear app would pop up and try to pair with the gear s2 but its not doing that. Ive manually downloaded the three Samsung gear APKs on the other thread...believe it was the gear plugin, Samsung accessories, and Samsung gear app. The app is giving the error saying Samsung gear cannot install due to custom ROM.

Hi!
I tried to install the Samsung Gear App and get the same Error that the OS has been modified unauthorised... :-/
My Question is: Did someone try this App after insalling the stock ROM again?
I don't want to backup and reinstall all apps and data...
Thank you for your help!

I have been through this rodeo, and I have noted a couple things.
1) Unlocked Bootloader: Doesn't matter, I am currently running Phils Recovery on my TW Official OK4 ROM, Gear and android pay work fine.
2) CM12.1 or CM13, not rooted or removed root: Doesn't work. Root is not the only thing both apps are looking for.
3) TW Custom ROM: Doesn't work. Could not get it working on my MOAR 7 rom which is based on TW.
4) STOCK ROM with Phils Recovery: Works fine if I don't root.
So obviously the check goes beyond root, and probably some combination of Software Version / Build Number or some other reference point to detect the ROM.
The reports of hiding the root on a custom ROM to get Android Pay to work, simply don't work. My hunch is that whatever Android Pay is using, is the same mechanism as the Gear Manager app from Samsung.
In the end, frustrating, because TW stock is completely slow, and kills my battery, and does stupid things like turns on my screen anytime I put it on an inductive charging station, or won't allow me to turn the volume to max over BT because of communism... or socialism... or whatever.

Thank you "eatmeimadanish"!
So, if i install the stock rom (recovery stays the same) the app will start without a problem and the connection to the gear s2 is fine?
The only thing is that i'll have the standard samsung tw-rom again...

Yes. Unfortunately the TW rom does suck, and has a bunch of built in stuff you can't turn off. If you are used to (like me) with a ROM that makes any kind of sense in it's design, then it's a beotch to switch back (kiss the battery life goodbye). On a good front, the Gear S2 is pretty awesome....

Hey!
I got my Samsung Gear S2 today and i'm installing my apps again.
Gear Manager started without a problem and the connection to the Gear S2 was established in a second!
Of course i'll install another launcher!
Best regards,
scorp

Tested on my galaxy s4 gt-i9500 whit lineage os 14.1 and works perfect

I have followed instruction and after editing i could not install gear and required apps from google play. I had to find apk outside and it worked. I`m using lineage 14.1 and n910v -Note 4 Verizon. Does anyone know why i could not download from google play ? Should i use some other brand in build.props or change something additionally?

How can I root and keep S Health?

I have the Exynos S7 Flat (G930FD) and I'm wanting to root it.
I've done this before about a year ago, but then I ended up getting a new device.
Since then, apparently SHealth now requires KNOX, which rooting will trip.
Is there any way I can bypass this? Perhaps a custom ROM or something? I know there used to be an Xposed module that restored private mode and something else, but I don't think it works anymore.
Basically I want to have root access as well as to be able to use S Health.

Remove s health and install like a normal app a older version.

Basically, what vladmir said. S-Health disables services if you're rooted starting from version 5, so any previous versions will not have this problem. Just Google S-health APK 4.9 or something like that, and install.

It works just fine on Marshmallow, but if you upgrade to Nougat then you need a custom ROM to make it work.
Removing it and installing it as a non-system app doesn't seem to change anything, and installing an older version didn't help me either.
I've downgraded to 6.0.1 so it doesn't really affect me any more though.

It is very simple to make SHealth working.
First root your device with Magisk using this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Magisk is able to hide itself from a lot of apps, which won't run if your phone is rooted (i.e. Pokemon go, Mario run...)
If Magisk won't help you then:
install file explorer, it can be ES file explorer,
enable root explorer option (in ES file explorer)
go to /system directory
edit file build.prop
Look for ro.config.tima=1 and change the value to 0
reboot phone and now SHealth will work perfectly

Thinking about rooting my G930FD and installing CFW...Many questions

Hi guys,
I'm considering rooting my G930FD. If I just root it, I should be able to disable most of Samsung crap, correct? I'm concerned about being able to use apps that might detect for root/CFW, such as:
-Google Pay
-HSBC
-MobileIron
Is there a way to hide the root from these? I think MobileIron even checks the knox status, so even if root is hidden/disabled, I might still fail that check.
If I install a CFW, what are the current status of affairs? I haven't installed a CFW since my Galaxy S4 times. As in, if I install any Lineage/AOSP, is there any way to get the camera to work with the stock app, or at least make it perform stock/like? What about Google Pay etc on these ROMs? Any stock-based ROM that keeps the camera while minimizing/rooting out all the touchwiz crap, while still working?
Thanks! I've been out of the game for a couple of years and got lost trying to catch up again...

I haven't touched my S7 yet so I can't answer you but this could answer some of your questions:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/debloat-galaxy-s7-services-safe-to-t3432967
You don't necessarily have to root, you have to install TWRP as a custom firmware, then get the script, edit it if you don't want some apps to be removed, apply the script and it's debloated.
But I'm sorry I can't tell you if you can install TWRP without tripping Knox, I can't tell you if installing a custom Firmware will disable Google Pay etc... But I guess you can easily find that information by searching, or someone knowing more than me will help you

Installing TWRP will trip Knox if it's like every other Samsung phone I have owned that referenced Knox or warranty bit in download mode.

Question Android auto for Fold 2 help?

I have an aawireless adapter or can do usb but haven’t been able to get Android auto to quite work with the fold 2. Is it a lost cause? Also proud of myself for finally getting my Samsung watch 5 pro with lte to pair (even get numbersync working) with this thing. Great phone but hate the Chinese rom limitations

For Android Auto, you need Magisk module.

@carrieta17 - I installed the AA package but it didnt work for me. I'd plug it in and it would just default to blank screen. Did you have to play with any other settings to get it to work? I changed all the permissions but still no luck...

No ... I couldnt get it to work. I went back to Samsung Fold 4 so had to do a hard reset on the Fold 2 ... and I thought I'd try one last time (given i had already done a hard reset) but alas, no luck ....still couldnt get it to work.

does this allow for wireless connection to the car via android auto? My car has the wireless connection option, was wondering if this would work wirelessly. Thanks.

Unlock your bootloader, install Magisk, and install the AndroPlus global ROM module. Galaxy watches will work without issue after this. Android Auto also works with the AndroPlus AA sub module, you just have to install the global rom module first.
