So I finally spent a few moments trying to find a workaround for using peacock on my rooted Nvidia shield.
On rooted devices, Peacock will pretty much instantly force close.. Even if you're passing safety net and using magisk hide.
To workaround this I simply disabled three activities/permissions in the AndroidManifest.xml:
android:name="disabled_com.peacock.peacocktv.safetynet.SafetyNetErrorActivity"
android:name="disabled_com.peacock.peacocktv.ErrorActivity"
<uses-permission android:name="disabled_android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES" />
You'll more than likely need to have signature verification disabled, but I'm not 100% positive on that. Also, to be safe before opening the modified apk below, hide magisk from it.
IF YOU PREVIOUSLY HAD PEACOCK INSTALLED, CLEAR DATA AND UNINSTALL IT BEFORE INSTALLING THIS MODDED APK
APK is attached, just extract the zip and install the apk.. let me know if it works for you too..
Mirror Link:
Peacock.TV.ver.1.6.5-AndroidTV.build.222010605.apk - AnonFiles
anonfiles.com
No luck here, still force close on my 2017 Nvidia Shield. I cant even get an unmodded version to run on a unrooted 2017 running 8.2.3. Been trying off and on for over a year. Did have it up and running on an earlier firmware by installing before root. Stopped working after about 30 days.
It didn't work for me
Followed this guide to disable apk verification (didn't work without it) https://www.andnixsh.com/2020/01/how-to-install-unsigned-apk-root-method.html
After successfully installing, I open the app, see the Peacock logo, and then it force closes
Anyone get Peacock to work on rooted Android?
I say we just give Peacock feedback, I 1 starred their app and submitted to support that this is BS. Believe it or not I have a subscription and can't watch on my rooted Nvidia Shield
I was trying to test that on 2019 shield and it would fail from the start, i wonder what am i doing wrong?
If you need a tester, you can PM me and I can test them and let you know
Thank you @bobpiesz, I got your mod working on the FireTV 2nd gen Cube. I can confirm that all of the following are required:
- Your modded Peacock app
- Disabled signature verification in order to install modded Peacock app
- Magisk app needs to be hidden
- Peacock needs to be added to the Magisk denylist, and Enforce Denylist needs to be enabled.
If you open Peacock before you have done all of these steps, the app will remember that the device is rooted. So in this case you have to clear Peacock data & cache.
I wrote up the steps to disable signature verification here as well as the other steps. Feel free to cannibalize what you want
I modded Peacock v1.6.89 (~June 2022). There is at least one new root check in v1.7+ that will have to be found to get the newer releases working.
I removed one of the main activities from v1.6.89 so that the app now only creates 1 icon. On FireTV at least, only one of the two icons would launch without closing, so I removed it.
ok so i tried to use this on a android 11 android tv box and guess what it doesn't work like is there a version of this that actually works

i got this this morning at CVS for 79.99 with my employee discount, i thought for that price it would be worth trying out...thanks for this
thank you for this release I just bought one today and had to get it rooted ASAP lol. Even the market works. Thank you for the awesome release.
can you make a striped down version or better yet how are you removing those apps for example how do you get rid of the book club it keeps saying uninstall not sucessfull also i downloaded applanet 2.7.6 and it wont fully download stuff it will begin it and then stop and try to install a parshal package then saying theres a problem parsing the package
Just bought one this morning, cant wait to install this, but the drop box account says This account's public links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled, anyone able to mirror "CMP-738a-update-2011-01-26-rls4.img" Thanks!
Agreed, need alternate download sites plz!
Sorry Guys, Didn't expect that much traffic - DropBox temporarily suspended the account. Looking for a new home - will be done by tonight.

Why not try multiupload which sends it to 7 different hosters for instant mirroring? I see you already have release 5 being tested which rumor has it allows adb access. I won't ask for when you expect to release but am curious how smoothly the tests are going?
mirror for the img
hey heres a mirror for CMP-738a-update-2011-01-26-rls4.img

I literally went down the list and wiped data/cache for all the apps cause checkin service, download manager....anything with google in it and gmail were not doing it for me..but after wiping all of them and doing a reboot it finally worked for me and I've installed a dozen things since then like soundhound(recognize song app), palringo(instant messenger...does voice chat walkie talkie style), google voice
(free sms from tablet)....miren browser (in my opinion the best phone browser and ironically originally a chinese browser ported to english.) etc...be interested to see what yall consider must have tablet apps.
Bargaincell has a mini hdmi 6 foot cable as the daily special for $3.99 shipped @ http://www.bargaincell.com/bargaincell_daily_deal.html
cache
I had the same issue. It took a few cache wipes and reboots but it finally worked. Neat little gadget but it does have some draw backs, for it's price point not a terrible buy. Would like to see Honeycomb on it but not sure the CPU could handle it. Tried to find an overclocking app but none seem to recognize this chip.
Market worksss!! Can this be used to make calls via sipdroid?? GV?
Fantastic work...I grab one of these today at CVS for $100 just to play around with it. As my evo is my daily driver...got rooted with no issues. Having a bit of problems with the market but I am troubleshooting this via posts in this thread and on slate droid. Thanks for the great work!

1) It's broken, check the website.
2) It's warez. Don't even mention it here or you WILL get banned.
I'm using a modified APK of Hearthstone on my N5 w/ 5.0.1 that runs well, but in-app purchases aren't working due to sideloading it. So I'd like to install it "properly". The game officially requires a 6"+ screen to install, though I don't know if spoofing the screen size/DPI is all that's needed to install it properly. Not sure if I have to make the store think I have a different device entirely. If that is the case, is editing build.prop the best solution? Info about spoofing the device with build.prop is a bit sketchy, not sure about keys etc.
I was recommended something called Market Helper but it seems that has been retired.
Sideload the market helper apk.
Is there any besides this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146216 Comments said it's no longer being maintained and doesn't work on Android 5.
Hello,
I have recently rooted my Galaxy Note 10 plus and I begin to reinstall all the apps but I just discover that all Amazon Apps are not working anymore. I can't log in.
Audible : back loop on log in screen when I click on log in
Amazon Music : Error, Chrome version need to be update (and when I click on, it opens the Play Store and close it to back on the error screen) => And play store is working and Chrome is updated and works fine
Prime Video : Connection failed
Amazon Shopping : Oops, something went wront
For now, others apps seems to work correctly, I only have issues with Amazon apps.
I'm on Android 10.
Magisk modules : App Systemizer, Busybox, Hardware Off, MagiskHide Props Config, Smali Patcher
Magisk is hidden and repacked. SafetyNet is granted.
If someone can help me to fix it or redirect me on the right place to fix it (I made a few searches but found nothing).
Thank's for you help.
And it's solved. The problem was from the adblockler Adaway.
After adding in the whitelist these url, everything is working fine :
- aan.amazon.com
- aax-us-iad.amazon.com
Conclusion : Amazon app are checking if they can show you more and more ad and if they cannot, you are not allowed at all to use them, even if you already pay a subscription.

Thanks can confirm it works and sucks as well !
Thanks a lot buddy!!
Happy to be useful ^^
All Amazon's apps are working except shopping. Dogs came back a few days later. I have whitelist tons of amazon url that's use to show ads but it doesn't work. Maybe I have forget something but I can't find it. So, almost everything is working, but I cannot shopping with Adaway active, I have to deactivate it and restart my phone before using the shopping app.
Hello, my cell phone is also rooted with Magisk. All banking apps run very well. Unfortunately, Amazon is not running. Can someone tell me whether I entered the information correctly on Adaway? Does it suit?
Has anyone found another option in the meantime?
Adaway is the culprit. I found an easy fix. Disable Adaway and log in. After that re-enable it. The app apparently checks only when logging in. Adaway is up, the app is running and I'm not seeing any ads.
Don't whitelist anything.
Hi I have this galaxy A32 5g here and I installed the F- Droid apk. Installed fine but when I go to download ANY content I get a error I haven't seen before (shown in picture). I go to change the install apps from unknown sources, and it's not there. Every other so I've tried, install apps from unknown sources is there. I have a galaxy S8 that I have no problem using F- Droid on. Anyone else? Any fix. (Can this bootloader really be unlocked) ..
Thanks!

Bootloader can be unlocked depending on your current firmware version to check go to
Settings , About Phone , Software Information and take a look at the build number.
The number in the last characters should be a 1 ,2 or a 3. If its higher then those numbers then there is no current unlock for it

My locked bootloader A326U is on build number 1AUxx. I disabled as much as possible (google & samsung apps & services) before adding a sim card or wifi for the first time. I did the ADB & Developer Options update blocking first so I can unlock the bootloader in the future if new roms are ever develop for it. Would love a GrapheneOS version for it. But it doesn't seem that is a possibility anytime soon.
I was really surprise how much stuff specially google services & the like I was able to Uninstall or Disable outright. Using F-Droid & Aurora Store I've been able to install & use 99% of current apps I was using before on my prior Z981. The only App that has not gotten past the nag about google services after installation has been the Little Ceasers app. Every other app that nags about google services still lets you continue using the app without it. I just silence the google services nag for each app so my notifications stop ringing over an over. I might make a walkthru of what I did later but it was nothing advanced. Just took the time to go thru each app & service & see which it would let me disable or uninstall.
Regarding the app you mentioned. I was just able to install that app from F-Droid it it runs perfectly. No errors. So not sure if the problem might be the wifi, cell or any security app you might have install that might be causing that problem. Installs & boots up perfectly here. I would recommend you redownload & reinstall F-Droid from their main site again.
Btw, I am on F-Droid v1.13.1 version.
I don't know the answer to your question but I do want to mention there are multiple F-Droid app clients that do the same things as does F-Droid, only they're designed to do it much better (using the same repositories as does the F-Droid app).

Edit: Vanced no longer seems to be functional, so the guide below most likely will not work anymore.
********************************************************************************************************************************
Note: If you are unable to install/use YT Vanced, you can also go for YT ReVanced, the "true" successor of YT Vanced.
To install it just download microG from the guide below, install that and then install the revanced apk from https://revanced.io/
********************************************************************************************************************************
UPDATE: Vanced Manager appears to be working again as of November 2022, so you can now just install YouTube Vanced normally the way you would prior to its shutdown by following any guide.
Just download Vanced Manager from https://vancedmanager.com/ and follow the on screen steps.
********************************************************************************************************************************
MANUAL INSTALLATION GUIDE:
There really isn't much to guide you on regarding this topic, as it's really simple.
First of all, we'll need to grab the correct files.
The first link is for vanced microg, this will allow you to sign into youtube vanced. You will not be able to sign in with your google account if you do not install vanced microg.
The second link is the youtube vanced apkm file, which will be installed using apkmirror's split/bundle apk installer, which is the third link.
All of these files are from APKMirror, which is a trusted source. All of these APKs are the latest versions prior to the shutdown of yt vanced.
1. Vanced MicroG.apk
2. YouTube Vanced.apkm
3. APKMirror Installer (Google Play Link)
Installation Instructions: (none of these steps are optional, including microG)
1. Install Vanced MicroG by clicking on it and installing it as you would install any ordinary apk.
2. Download the YouTube Vanced.apkm file.
3. Install the APKMirror Installer from the Play Store, then open it the app.
4. Click on browse files, the vanced apkm file should be there. Wait for a couple of seconds or minutes so that the files data can be loaded.
DO NOT EXIT THE APP FROM HERE ON UNTIL THE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE
5. Click on the YouTube Vanced.apkm file, now just follow the on screen instructions to install YouTube Vanced. When prompted, click on Install by watching an Ad, also allow installation from unkown source (apkmirror app) when prompted.
6. Wait for the app to prompt you that the installation has been completed successfully.
Thats it! Enjoy YouTube Vanced despite it's shutdown, it must be noted however that after a certain period of time, this last build before shutdown will become outdated, and so you will miss out on new features and eventually it may become unsupported altogether as the YouTube app progresses ahead in updates.
********************************************************************************************************************************
Troubleshooting:
Q. The APKMirror installer gets stuck on installing and it doesn't finish.
A: This may happen on older devices or devices with less ram, I suggest closing background apps and/or maybe restarting your device and then trying again, or just try waiting again as it can take quite long if you have outdated or weaker hardware.

You need to install the vanced microg apk before installing vanced via the apkmirror installer. It won't work without microg.
Thank YOU for real!!! Been trying all day to find a work around and there it is. Been waiting for my YouTube data to download to try another app but that didn't work. I suggest removing microg and installing it dead last. Not sure if it was just bugged on my mi11 or not. But it wasn't working for me however I went about it.

My guess, Xiaomis security is blocking your install. Turn off antivirus crap and try again
Thanks a lot for this post. Just picked up a new phone and had no idea vanced had been discontinued
Installed today. I confirm that this method is still working. Thank you
That microG install isn't working for me, for some reason. It says it installed, but it's not actually on the phone afterward.

You don't see it in the app drawer like other apps, you simply have to enter vanced youtube and do the login. The app will login with microg instead of regular google account
I had to reboot before I was able to log in to Vanced.
Just an FYI Vanced is still working as of 09-06-22. I also don't have the latest version of Vanced either, I have 15.05.54. So if the latest version isn't working try this one.

Do you mean the 9th of june, or the 6th of September? Oh how I hate those dumb illogical american imperial notations. Just use logic; Short to long, i.e. the day, the month, the year. Don't get me started on AM/PM. Just so silly. Such a waste of time. Who needs it? I mean, what time would 12 PM be, ey? 24h time please.

I don't know considering it was posted on the 6th day of September I'm going to say probably sometime in June..... Yeah definitely June, has to be, no other logical reason could possibly explain why someone would post a date on the exact same day, has to be 3 months prior . So difficult to figure out, imperial is way to hard to grasp.

Still, if you look at it that way, even your 22 could have been a date, not a year. June 22, 2009.
the last release of vanced (the one i've linked here in the main post) is still working. @dgunn 's version will stop working before this one (if it is not the latest) as when google updates youtube, older versions become unsupported at the same time. maybe it's different for vanced, and instead, because it was developed by a 3rd party, it will never stop working; but you wont be able to get any new features which will be on the youtube app in the future as vanced cant update.

Can confirm it works still. Use it daily. And I'll take adfree with no extra features any day for my music and vids over the other.
Thanks for this thread, I have been wanting to install Vanced on my new headunit in my car and will go ahead and give this a shot. I still have an old version on my phone that works perfectly fine. I am really not sure what new "Features" are possibly getting added into the app that I need to worry about losing...like literally none when have they ever implemented any real new features? I'd much rather have ad free content and ability to have playback in the background.
Thank you for your reply. Sorry to have such a newbie question . I'm learning . And thank u again
