Install and set Netflix HD & HDR? - Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers

How can I install Netflix because it is not present in the play store in the Chinese ROM? (I still have to wait a week to install the ROM.EU in that instead the play store is complete?) And once installed will it already be compatible with HD and HDR?

You can sideload Netflix while you're on CN Rom. I'm on EU rom and HDR is still not supported.

Is there a way to put HDR?

I'm on eu rom. HDR is not working in netflix. It works in youtube but only on small screen, when i put video on full screen colors are washed out.

No video quality control option in YouTube

Hello guys I have XT1033 and I flashed KitKat ROM (Asia Retail 4.4.2) on it..
I tried YT app (official, latest from Pay StorE) and all videos play at 720p resolution without asking or letting me control the quality. In short there's no "quality" option in drop down list of video's menu!!
I am on 41.1A bootloader.. pls help I even tried some older versions of YouTube app

[TWRP][MAGISK][7.x-8.x]How to record smooth 60fps video with clear stereo sound[HEVC]

UPDATED - NOW WITH STABLE 30/60/90/120 FPS IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS!
NOTE! YOUR DEVICE MUST HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER! THIS INSTRUCTION ONLY FOR SNAPDRAGON VERSION PHONES!
Instruction for android nougat(TWRP):
If you want to record smooth 60(90) fps fullhd and 120fps hd videos with clear stereo sound and stabilization, follow these several simple steps:
1. Okay, it is supposed, that your device has unlocked bootloader, installed usb drivers and last fimware on android nougat or android oreo.
First of all, go to camera settings and wipe all data from system camera app, then download all necessary files from my GoogleDrive folder "ALL TOOLS" HERE.
Copy all files on your sd card except recovery.7z
2. Unpack recovery.7z on PC in any folder.
Turn off your smartphone and enter fastboot mode(vol- and power on), connect your phone to PC and run boot_twrp.bat from "tools_r25.0.3-windows (2)" folder, follow instructions on the screen.
Wait for running twrp. (TWRP recovery won't be flashed on your device!)
P.S. Pass this step if u aready have flashed twrp recovery before it.
3. Tap install, and flash: Camera_2API_addon.zip => camera.zip => sound_fix_redmi_note4x_v1.zip=>BOLTiSHok_60-90_FPS_FHD_s5k3l8 & fiks cvet-90moto_60gcam&snap.zip(for samsung s5k3l8 sensor) or BOLTiSHok_superFPS.zip(for all types of camera sensor)=>( and MIUICameraBraviaV4.zip if you want replace miui stock camera app with modified one)
back to previous menu and wipe dalvic/art and cache
And finally DO NOT FORGET FLASH lazyflasher-no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip !
Reboot your smartphone and enjoy smooth video 60 fps recording with clear stereo sound with snapdragon camera.
Note. Your default media profiles will be replaced with modified ones and all camera apps now using h.265 codec with fix for sound recording.
P.S. And of course 60 fps recording requires a lot of light, so unfortunately you can not make a video inside buildings with low light.
Also, I noticed some glitch, when i try to switch between 4k and 1080p mode with enabled stabilization, so i recommend to turn it off before changing resolution in video settings. + slow mo 720 p recording seems not working, but it works in miui camera
Okay, Now you can record with stable 30/60/90(for FULLHD)/120 fps(for HD) even in low light conditions!
Original libs for turning back also added.
All video modes(for samsung sensor) atm are:
4K/1080p 30FPS
FULLHD(60/90 FPS), HD(60/90/120 FPS), Front Camera(HD 60 FPS)
SLOW MOTION: FULLHD(60/90 FPS), HD(60/90/120 FPS), Front Camera(HD 60 FPS)
Slow motion video sample in 1080p
Instruction for android oreo and android nougat for all sensors(MAGISK) without sound fix and snapdragon camera:
Use magisk modules from my GoogleDrive folder "ALL TOOLS" HERE.
There are 2 types of module:
1) For Android Nougat and Oreo(non treble)
2) For Oreo(treble)
======================================================================================================================================================
Now u can record 60 fps video with GCAM
======================================================================================================================================================
Warning! Upgrading your fimware is accompanied by erasing "/system" partition, therefore you have to repeat all steps from instruction again!

I was waiting for your thread since you announced it on 4pda, let's see.
I have some questions.
I am on LinageOS, do I have to flash camera2api again even though I already have it enabled?
Can I still install the modded Google camera without having any conflict? No conflicts with h.265codec?
Is this the MIUi camera which works on custom ROM? Does beautify work?
My biggest concern is the Google camera. I don't want to mess it up. Your post says snapdragon camera will be installed right? So recording in 60fps will only work on that app and not others?

I cant say how it works on lineageos, because i have never installed it.
If u have camera2api enabled already, so obivously u do not need to flash it again.
I have installed miui mod camera, gcam and snapdragon camera together, all apps using the same h265 codec and i dont have any conflicts, all works pretty well.
I shot several videos in these apps and only snapcamera allows to record true 60 fps.

Thanks I will try it. How about other apps like Facebook Live, instagram? Snapchat? Will this be messed?
Also how about safety net and Magisk? Will safetynet still pass? I'll try it out.

I dunno why u worry about fb and other messengers, it doest even relate to video calls
Shortly ur profiles for sound and video will be replaced, thats all. If lineageos has the same paths for these files, so it should work.
Using Lineage OS 14.1 I can confirm that 60fps and 120slowmo works. I just installed the Snapdragon Camera(apk only). Thanks!
confirmed working on AOSP based rom

Even without ZSL phone takes photo almost instant, same as with ZSL turned on. Well, these options seems to not work on our phones too.

I don't think you need lazy flasher if you are on LOS or AOSP? It is only for MIUI roms? I have never used it
That sound fix is the file with media profiles?

My Youtube no longer have the 4k Option after Oreo update. is this normal ?

Hi.
so after the update, I no longer have the 4k viewing option. only full HD. is this normal ?
How do I get it back ?
Thanks
4k is still there. It is removed, however, for 4k HDR content due to an issue with the app.
For normal non HDR videos 4K is still there. But videos with HDR is now limited to 1080p due to performance issues with pretty much every device: http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/11/04/hdr-youtube-app-now-maxes-1080p/
Shame they don't offer an option to just watch the non-HDR version instead.

Netflix support?

Was anyone of you successful to get Netflix running in 1080p?
I received my OP6 today. As I wasn't offered Netflix in Play Store, I downloaded the apk directly from Netflix and installed it. Netflix is working, but I don't seem to get 1080p running though my network connection is fine (28 MBit/s).

I downloaded Netflix from Google play just fine, how did you check what resolution is playing?
I just checked it by watching, and it is very "pixely", hence for sure no 1080p. Does an unlocked bootloader matter? Root is not installed yet.
Edit: Ok, I guess I found the problem. My OP6 isn't passing safety net (CTS profile match fail). Will have to install Magisk.
Unlocked bootloader = no netflix in play store. At least for me. Quality seems pretty good but no idea how to display the resolution used.
Netflix was in play store for me [emoji16]

I found out now that unlocking the bootloader turns Widevine from L1 to L3. Relocking the bootloader doesn't bring back L1.
But with Magisk installed I pass SafetyNet now and Netflix seems to have a high resolution.
Is there any way to find out the actual resolution of a Netflix stream?
I had to download the apk directly as it did not show up in the Play Store for me. I can't tell what the resolution is, but it looks sharp enough.
But apparently a lot of people have looked into this and the consensus seems to be that unlocking the bootloader will block HD content.
I don't get HD streaming on Netflix even though I pass the SafetyNet test.
Unfortunate.
I always find Netflix shows just seem very dark on the 6 as if the brightness is turned down. Really difficult to see stuff sometimes and seems like everything is filmed at night.

Yes makes little difference, still not really watchable. This is watching over 4g not that it should really make any difference.
Netflix is playing in 1080p on my OP6 - looks crisp and even crispier with brightness all the way up. Running on wifi and using Planet Earth to test.

Same here. With everything hidden in Magisk I am definitely getting HD in Netflix and Prime Video. No blurriness or pixelation at all.

This is exciting. Netflix/Amazon streaming is the only reason I haven't rooted yet. Any idea as to how this is possible when the 5 and 5T weren't able to get HD streaming?
Could any other rooted users check their streaming quality?

No idea, sorry. It's possible there's been some change in how the OP6 handles DRM.

Yes, just search for "Test Patterns" and play one of the videos, it will show you the current resolution (use original video size, if it's zoomed to fit the screen you can't see the resolution).
Strangly, my OP6 just gets HD (1280x720) but not Full HD (1920x1080).

Is your bootloader locked or unlocked? Netflix streaming quality can be selected in account settings at www.netflix.com/YourAccount -> Playback settings.
Edit: I'm running a bootloader-locked OP6, and the "Test Patterns" videos always shows 1280x720 no matter what my playback settings are set to.

modded Netflix apk for unlocked devices?

Has anybody found a modded Netflix apk?
OnePlus worked together with Netflix to provide UHD HDR content on the OnePlus 7 Pro, unfortunately the security level changes after unlocking the bootloader from L1 to L3, which means DRM ruins the experience on the phone because it removes HD movies and shows.
And yes, after relocking the bootloader the security level should revert back to L1, but I really enjoy using things like V4A, YouTube Vanced, Titanium Backup, AdAway and so on
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/netflix-hd-ultrahd-ultrahd-dolby-5-1-l1-t3535349
this one seems to work, it's a little outdated but after deleting the Netflix_Stub and PartnerNetflixActivation app I was able to install the modded UHD apk. HDR is supposed to work as well

It's the main app, if you go in to Titanium backup and search Netflix you should see two things and those are the things he says to uninstall. I however still couldn't install that netflixlatest.ultrahdwithdolby5.1.apk :/

Just got to know from Netflix customer service, there was never UHD support for any phone. All phone plays only in HD 720p with HDR (Only supported devices). For unlocked bootloader 480p.
Check below link for list of HD and HDR supported phones and tablet.

This is unacceptable in my opinion. HDR for mobile devices? Hell yeah! But limiting resolution to 720p is a joke. I pay the full subscription fee every month to watch 4k content and still don't get above 720p movies on my smartphone/tablet. HDR 720p does look nice, maybe a good compromise in comparison with 1080p, but definitely not as good as 1440p non-HDR!
you can scream all over, but it will change nothing. such is netflix
Yes. I need free petrol too.
