Anyone figure out installing Netflix from PlayStore after bootloader unlock? - Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers

I would like to install Netflix from the PlayStore and have it update from there like other apps. Is this possible after unlocking the bootloader? In case it isn't clear, I don't want to sideload it so please don't suggest that.

Obvious that is possible , I have Netflix and unlocked bootloader 1 thing don't have nothing to do with the other thing

Have you done anything other than unlock the bootloader? I'm not on a custom ROM or anything, I just mixed some stock firmware so I could get fingerprint sensor in the US. I also installed a kernel that hides bootloader unlock but in the PlayStore Netflix is listed as not compatible with my device.

Don't worry about that, it's working

I installed the Magisk module 'liboemcrypto disabler' on Android Pie to be able to even see Netflix in the Playstore. Now Netflix works and updates from the Playstore as well. But I can't watch content in HD.
On Oreo Netflix worked in HD and HDR mode, but I had to install a DRM fix to achieve that.

works with Pie

Thank you for the suggestion, but janjan's kernel only has a drm fix for Oreo if I understand correctly. I don't believe there is a DRM fix for Pie available (yet). I also don't think anybody is going to spend the time needed to create one, because now that the camera works, most people don't even notice that a DRM fix is necessary.

Sorry, you're right, my bad. I have been using janjan's kernel on Oreo and it's been flawless. Given the amount of negative comments about Pie, are you not tempted to go back to something that works properly?

I actually love Pie. I removed most of my rooted apps because Pie has functionality built in that I really wanted on Oreo. Like choosing dns servers, dns over https, rotation icon in navigation bar, bluetooth device battery percentage and more things I can't remember. Battery life is good.. phone is stable... My only complaints are that Sony took out some of the things that make Pie more usefull. But besides that I'm happy.

This didn't work for me, still the same issue. I also tried flashing janjan's kernel but it didn't make a difference either and the ctsProfile is still false. Does anyone know if the ctsProfile being false would cause this?
Another thing that I think is separate but strange is that I have Magiskv19.0 installed but the Magisk Manager tells me Magisk is not installed and that v18.1 is the latest version.

I think something went wrong flashing your system. I have magisk installed and ctsProfile: true. I would concentrate on that first. Fixing magisk and ctsProfile will probably fix Netflix as well. Good luck!

Ya, so before I flash the tmobile volte/wifi calling zip or flash my kernel .img the ctsProfile is true and I am able to install Netflix from the play store. As soon as I flash one of those though the ctsProfile check turns to false. I need to flash these though or I'm not able to get VoLTE, WiFi Calling, and without hiding the bootloader unlock with the kernel some of the Sony features don't work.

Maybe the best you can do is to ask developer on how to bypass safetynet on his rom.

He don't want to do that because of security reasons.. Or something like that.
I cant play PoGO on CM13.1 by jgcaap either. I tried full unrooting with SuperSU, and before the Christmas update, I could play by just being unrooted. Now its a no go.
I assume that Niantic just made their anti cheating detection even more frustrating for non cheaters who just have a rooted phone. I don't like how they just assume that anyone who has custom android on their phone is automatically a cheater.
Oh so no chance okay :/ probably will play ingress or what
If you don't need root, you can try installing this one via recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
It is just a little script, which removes all files and traces of the most common root-versions (SuperSU, phh's, ...).
It was that simple for me, after I tried bypassing Safetynet without success on CM14.1 for hours xD

This is very easy to do just install Magisk 10.2 and enable Magisk Hide. You can also use the Miitomo module to play Miitomo and others to do cool stuff. It just got updated and it works great now. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

I play it perfectly fine it works fine. But actually if you don't install root on Lineage OS 14.1 you don't even need magisk at all and Pokemon GO will work. Miitomo will not work without magisk because it checks for ro.debuggable = 1 however and it crashes. But for the most part since Lineage OS 14.1 passes SafetyNet unrooted or with Magisk you can use basically any app that uses it.

You should try out this rom, its pretty awesome. Idk i might be doing something wrong, before changing rom magiskhide worked for me... Even though safetynet failed I could run the game pretty well. But now i cant. Can u check out this rom please to see if you can bypass safetynet . Thanks in advance
Hmm, so I did my full wipe and fixed my mobile data bug. I've reinstalled CM13.1 by Jgcaap and then flashed the un-SU package to remove root. I just booted up the game and it keeps saying unable to authenticate. It worked before I did the wipes but I guess there has been updates to GO since then.
Any ideas?

Unofficial Xposed

Dunno where else to put this but so far none of the unofficial xposed solutions support the pixel phones because no one seems to want to work with the A/B file layout so if anyone here wants to pick up a project id greatly appreciate that one and i know ive seen a number of others asking for it in different magisk and unofficial xposed threads. Thanks for reading my post and potentially contributing to a fairly noble cause.
Unknown if this is a pixel success. Anyone who knows please do reply.

Doesn't support A/B partition layout yet. No version of xposed except magisk systemless will even flash and even then the magisk systemless xposed also doesn't seem to work right for pixel phones yet

The couple of xposed modules I tried seemed OK (Greenify, youtube adaway...). I just didnt like it because it seemed to break Facebook and Facebook Messenger Apps (caused constant crashes for some reason) and also broke SafetyNet too, which defeats the purpose of even using Magisk. But overall you're most likely correct the modules still need to be updated for Nougat.
Damn...and I was so thrilled when the Nougat version came out.
Guess I stick with rooted Oreo was thinking about reinstall nougat cause of framework but sounds like it's not that great for pixel

Yeah xposed was my main reason for rolling back but for me none of the modules were being read as properly activated. Its fine though because I have my custom ROM back since there aren't any for Oreo yet.
A thread at pixel xl is saying yes and no with various install methods
UPDATE: added pie controls from xposed to my pixel running RR ; )
Resolved: Systemless Xposed (SDK25) module in magisk now flashes and sticks without fail. Installing the modded Xposed provided in the module description allows the framework/app/modules to interface properly. With both the Systemless framework and the modded app all modules updated as of this month will work
If you haven't already replaced SuperSU with Magisk, do that.

I highly recommend switching to magisk at least until we get a proper non magisk Xposed and this is coming from someone who has used SuperSU their whole life

Aokp , aosp

Hi guys.
When trying to use these type of ROMS I get one BIG problem. A program that uses BANK ID , when logging in to banks won't work anymore.
I think the file is named STK.apk. if I am not wrong.
On all the Stock (based) Custom Roms this operation work. But in AOKP,AOSP it doesn't. On stock based this program is White Color and after entering PIN code it disappears and log me into the bank.
But on AOKP,AOSP it is black, and it doesn't disappear it just times out after I enter PIN code.
Does anyone know a workaround or what can be the issue ? Someone mentioned that I should switch Kernel to fireopal 3.3 unofficial but that didnt work. I flashed Kernel in TWRP, maybe it should have been flashed in ODIN ?
Caligula. Peace Out
This will likely be due to a SafetyNet issue.
Where you rooted on stock? if yes with magisk or otherwise?
If you're still on aosp you can download this SafetyNet Helper Sample and see if you pass.
If you don't there are a few things you can do to pass it again.

Hi , I did use SuperManRom and BatmanRom, I think they both were rooted yes, and they use Magisk 14 beta there I think.
I will try to flash an Aosp-Aokp Rom again and then try with this App you are posting. Thank you. Now I am on STOCK Samsung since I couldn't get this to work. I used KIES to go back to fabric base.
I will make a backup and then try
UPDATE : I have now flashed Lineage Os 14.1 and I haven't root and Safetynet fails. So first thing I need is root maybe ?

Magisk has the capability to root your phone without triggering SafetyNet but that is (at least it was for me) a pain in the ass to get it working correctly.
Another thing I did with Snapchat (also doesn't work if SafetyNet is triggered) is that I set up the App on a clean stock rom, then backed it up with Titanium Backup and installed it on the rooted/aosp/... ROM. Note: This also works if the SafetyNet check in the app is only executed when you first login.
Thanks for info
I get false on the first CPTID(something) the heaviest of the 2 checks on SAFETYNET the other one I get ok.
After I install Magisk 14.
But I am giving up. Can't really find a 100 % workaround for this.

Xiaomi Mi A1 Android 8.0 Oreo FAQ / How to install the latest update for MI A1

Q: I haven't received the lastest security update, how can I get it?
A: Just wait. Updates may take up to two weeks to reach your smartphone.
Edit: there's now an official way to force install updates:
Download and install the latest version of Google Play Services - it's an official signed version, 12.2.17 (448-186052348) (12217448).
Check for updates - you'll receive an update immidiately.
Q: What's the current build number?
A: As of March 1, 2018, the current build is OPR1.170623.026.V9.5.4.0.ODHMIFA Security patch level: February 1, 2018. Kernel version: 3.18.66-perf-g90e3040 [email protected] #1 Mon Feb 26 11:58:45 WIB 2018
Q: Does Picture in picture mode work?
A: It does but only a few apps currently support it: e.g. VLC (it must(!) be enabled first in VLC settings), Google Chrome (for desktop mode), YouTube (YouTube red subscription is required), Google Maps (only in navigation mode) and WhatsApp (during a video call).
Q: What are the known bugs?
A: Check this topic.
Q: Where can I get a firmware image to flash offline (fastboot ROM)?
A: Check this page for updates.
Q: Are there EIS or Camera2API? Has low light camera performance been improved?
A: Sadly, both are still missing and low light camera performance is still horrible.
Q: How can I improve low light camera performance?
A: Root your phone, enable EIS/Camera2API, install Google Camera with HDR+.
Q: Can I use/install Google Camera with HDR+?
A: No. (Yes, if you're willing to root your phone and enable EIS/Camera2API).
Q: I've heard about Quick Charge in Oreo, is it indeed present?
A: No, this has been verified by many people, some of whom used multimeters.
Q: What about the Google Phone (dialer) and Google Messages apps?
A: They are now both stock straight from Google.
Update: The latest version of Google Phone is incompatible with the MI A1 for unknown reasons but it's Google who made this decision.
Q: How can I hide the X mark for mobile networks?
A: You can disable WiFi or you can install a substratum theme, "Hide X".
Q: My favourite app or game crashes under Oreo.
A: Factory reset your phone, install just this game/app - check if it crashes. If it does, contact its developer. If it doesn't then some other app or your settings have broken the app/game.
Q: How can I disable/hide/remove App is running in background notification?
It's a "feature" of Android 8. There are three methods to get rid of this nuisance.

No. If you install Magisk you will be able to receive and install OTA updates. You'll just have to reinstall Magisk after each update.

There is not fully working TWRP for Oreo as of now.
Magisk can be used by flashing patched boot.img, which already contains Magisk or follow a bit complicated TWRP guide.

Oreo changed the encryption scheme, only the latest TWRP version or Oreo system supports it. Nougat system and older TWRP versions will have problems with decryption.

I tried flashing my phone with latest Nougat, both locked and unlocked bootloader. All fine and good, then I updated to Oreo on my partition B. Worked just fine but I cant boot into partition A as the encryption failed.
Not sure what I have to do on my phone.
Has anyone noticed this thing where if we open a slightly darker or dark image, the display boosts up the brightness in the dark areas ? Sort of like the sunlight display on some phones. I tried to record an instance but it doesn't show it clearly.

What are you trying to do? Once you upgrade to Oreo, you can't safely boot Nougat system. Even if data wouldn't be encrypted, many apps would force close due to changes between these systems. If you want to downgrade, factory reset is probably inevitable.

There are still A/B partitions. Could you describe what are you trying to achieve? I simply don't understand why do you try to boot into Nougat once you have successfully upgraded to Oreo.

No Magisk trigger safety net?

So I'm on Android DP4 and I didn't install magisk or anything and Snapchat is failing I can't download Netflix and nothing's quite working so I guess they just trigger the safety net for just being on a developer preview? Like on DP3 I could still.use Snapchat just fine this one won't let me log in just keeps saying my password is wrong
You presumably have an unlocked bootloader. Have you flashed a custom kernel? You'll need one which has patched the something-something. All custom kennels do. I don't know if there are custom kernels that are compatible with DP4 yet but I suspect there are. Try flashing one and then checking if safety net still fails.
