Magisk in stock B389

Right, just a quick question:
Does Magisk works with stock ROM B389? I've read a lot about Magisk, but most, if not all, is referring to 3rd party ROM's with Magisk, not stock.
And the reason why I want stock, although removing some GAPPS, is because I do appreciate a lot the timed shutdown and boot-up: saves phone's battery and my head from radiation while I sleep. But I also want to keep Android Pay, so...
thanks in advance.

Yes, but stock only. I haven´t root it yet and I don´t know if I will. Besides Adaway and unistalling some Google Apps I don´t know what else I would gain.
And I would also have to be careful for Magisk not to break FingerPrint scanner or smart button. A reboot would fix it, but anyway something to be concerned about.

Edit: Just uninstalled Magisk and FP works. Will try to install Magisk now. It works.
My conclusion:
1- Enrol FP
2- Install Magisk

Google Pay on Chinese rom not working

Hi,
I've been trying to get Google Pay working on my Mix 2s I bought from shanghai (still on the chinese rom, don't see much reason to switch). One thing that hasn't been working is the Google Pay. I can install the app (after services and all gapps are installed), but when I try to add a card, I get the following error for all my cards
"Can't add card right now
Please try again later. You can also try adding a different card."
I can't find anything about this online. I was hoping to get some help here. Maybe the safetynet on the stock chinese Miui doesn't pass by default?

There are apps you can download to check safety net status. There's a bugreport I found click!. Seems like you are not the only one. However now you have a reason to switch to xiaomi.eu or global rom
If you are willing to install Magisk and root your phone, you can get GPay working. For me it works but my bank does not support it yet.

I think the issue lies in the Chinese MIUI itself. I checked the status of my safetynet with an app, and it says that it passes. Seems like the only resolution is to change to the xiaomi.eu or the Global rom instead.
Thanks for the help though

Not sure now honestly. But what I did is: flashed chinese beta rom and magisk immediately after (comes with su hide and all stuff out of the box)
Therefore my device is "google play certified" when I check in the play store.
Is GPay supported in your location?

No. Magisk works on chinese stable and developer(model XE). But gpay don't. If you install magisk on global rom, than you get bootloop. Anyway you can flash via twrp one more and all work again.

Model number ? XA?
I have the same issue with GPay on xiaomi.eu rom v8.5.17 (MIUI 9.6) - seems that the issue is somehow MIUI related, as the safety net test is passed, magisk works flawlessly but still no GPay please test on other MIUI version an let me know then
It doesn't work on MIUI 10 as well, has to be a MIUI bug as it affects both official Chinese releases as well as xiaomi.eu ROMs.
Anyway, filled a bug report, hope Xiaomi will fix it asap.

I'm confused. The previous post said with the XA model Google Pay was working (which uses NFC) yet you state that the XA model needs a fix to get NFC payments working. Can someone give some clarification.

That I know of, only hot-spot isn't working properly. You can use it, but it has to be an unprotected network. Barring that, I've been using this for a couple of days and haven't come into any major bugs that kill my experience. I very much like the customization options too!

That's odd. Mine is working But I'm glad that's the only issue you have. I only wish Project Treble was a lot more straight-forward than this, since it was a selling point for me.

Edit: I used Material Terminal from the Playstore.
I finally flash havoc, and all works well, the only problem is pass safetynet in magisk, ctsprofile fails, maybe is because the rom is not certified by google?.
Also what about "keep forced encryption" option on magisk, should i uncheked?.

You could try the Magisk module "MagiskHide Props Config" to pass SafetyNet.

i am not sure about that, since this model is not on the fingerprints compatibility list version.

No, I'm not using it. I've no intentions in using any custom rom, because I really like the clean Android One.
You can use any fingerprint, it's only to trick safetynet.
But if you want to use our original one, here we go:
xiaomi/daisy/daisy_sprout:8.1.0/OPM1.171019.019/V9.6.9.0.ODLMIFF:user/release-keys
You can use this.

general gsi bugs

from my experience each gsi rom comes with this 2 bugs:
- automatich brightness control is not working
- volte is not working
these two gsi bugs are also not resolved in this rom i guess??

I don't use either of these features so I wouldn't be able to tell you. But I think there's a VoLTE-enable version of HavocOS in the GSI subforums. Have not tried it however.
I need to check something with everyone:
Has someone else had a bug where they can't install anything into the system partition due to lack of space? I wanted to use Google Assistant but to have full features I need to make it a system app, faster way would be to flash nano-gapps but when I do it tells me I'm out of space in /system/. Is it just me?
Also, edited faq with How-To check SELinux status.
I just want share my experience fixing "cts profile: false" on safetynet , i fixed using "Safetypatcher" module. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-safetypatcher-t3809879

If that works for me later, I'll add it to the FAQ ? gj in any case!
Anyone knows why keep with the android one booting animation?.

Losing the video DRM after Rooting.

I just want to make check if this is still the case?
Rooting the phone still removes the DRM however you root it?
No alternative way to save the DRM or reinstall it?
If your question is Netflix related, then I have rooted OP7 Pro with Magisk and there's no issue at all.
Unlocking bootloader changes widevine to l3. No way around that. Nothing to do with root.

Actually it has to do with unlocking the bootloader and rooting typically goes hand in hand with bootloader unlocking so it kind of does.

I heard some people unlock the bootloader and use root to debloat and make certain system changes that persist after unrooting. I don't know why they unroot other then google pay as Magisk allows google pay to work.

I dunno. Being able to use my phone to pay at legacy POS terminals is pretty awesome. Even if samsung pay doesn't get adopted as a mobile payment standard, MST still works fine.
Hell I'm working in Korea and I can pay bills, pay for all forms of transit, shop online, and send money from messages with Samsung pay. Even my Gear S3 being able to use MST is awesome, allowing me to make 10 purchases before the next time it pair back to my phone.
I'd hardly say it's overrated. It's a feature. Just like being rooted is a feature. It's utility depends on the user.
