Is android pay working for anyone else?
When I try to add a credit card, it says
Android Pay can't be used on this device
This may be because your device is rooted, has an unlocked bootloader, or is running a custom ROM. As a result, Google can't confirm that your device meets Android Pay's security standards.
I just got phone today and haven't done anything to the device as far as the FW or root.
It's on MIUI Global 8.0 Stable 8.0.8.0.0
Thanks for any help provided.
Happy Holidays.
You have a vendor rom.
Theres no global rom for the mix, only China Stable, Dev and an unofficial eu.
It looks like it's MAHCNDI which I think I can get an update for here. But I understand what you mean by the vendor rom.

Does anyone else have any problems w/ android pay on the normal EU ROM?
Under the default wallet in settings, it shows Mi Wallet or Use HCE Wallet.
and Tap & Pay, the payment default is Android Pay but no other options.
Anyone else have any issues?
I'm using EU rom (6.12.8) now. When I tried to use Android Pay, the app said that it cannot be activated on this device because it seems to be "rooted, bootloader unlocked and/or using custom ROM".
Changing default wallet in settings doesn't make any differences.

Hope I don't get this problem with PayPal card reader or I'm screwed, when I had mi note pro I had to install via apk and had to use full password no mobile pin allowed.

What do you mean by a Vendor ROM? It literally says MIUI global, there isn't any Chinese bloatware, and it automatically has the play store installed.
I am using China Stable and Android Pay is reporting the same message.
Same on miui global 8.2
The only way is to install custom ROM with Magisk hide and Xiaomi Fix
Hi,
After Android 9 update ANT+ support does not seem to work anymore.
Previously, on Android 8.x with ANT Radio Services and ANT+ Plugins Services installed, ANT+ support was working fine.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsi.ant.service.socket
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsi.ant.plugins.antplus
Seems to be issue with google, all devices updated to Pie has the issues.
https://www.thisisant.com/forum/viewthread/7091/#8451
Would it be possible to looking for a solutions through magisk module?
Are any way to get Google Pay working on custom fw?
C6603, Bootloader Unlocked, DRM keys are lost.
Stock 5.1.1 (228 CE5), clean unrooted - Google Pay works fine!
Tried a number of old and latest custom roms.
1. All (stock/custom) rooted/pre-rooted roms - in general, there is no way to register a credit card in GPay (there are a lot of information about that around)
2. a number of Lineage OS based FW's (official 15.1 signed, unofficials 14-16) - usually passed SafetyNet test (clean/unrooted or with Magisk Hide), GPay accepts a new credit card (the main difference to the rooted stock/custom roms) but the NFC functionality is unavailable!
Tried Google Play Certification described on Lineage OS web site
https://lineageos.org/Google-Play-Certification/
No result at all
I see a number of discussions about a similar issue (no NFC in GPay on Lineage OS) on a number of other threads (xda and some other places), and I understand the issue is fixed for some of those devices (OPO6 etc), that means, in general, that GPay currently works on both the bootloader unlocked stock and custom (LOS-based) firmware devices.
Are there anybody with the proof it can be configured on our device with some specific non-stock-based custom fw?
Why it does not work on LOS? Is it just a core bug (NFC-related?) or there is something fundamental that lets GPay to register the card but prevents to use NFC for payments? GPay now days works everywhere - in the shops, supermarkets, restaurants, even in public transport in some places, so it is shame the developers ignore/unable to support it in the latest custom development, that transforms the old flagman (fully functional on stock lollipop) into a cheap crap (battery killer, suitable for voice calls only) on the latest android builds...
Does anyone have an idea how to restore ANT+ functionality after the latest OOS 9.0.6 update? Apparently the ANT? firmware is not included in the latest update anymore, and therefore it is not possible to use it. Maybe it would be possible to somehow make it work using a similiar method to what the ANT+ Enabler that existed for some other devices previously? Of course this would either need the original developer or a new one to figure things out.
ANT+ Enabler: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.z2software.antplus&hl=fi&gl=US
The required additional application, Bluetooth+ is seemingly not available in Play Store anymore, though I have a backup of it for use with a previous Galaxy S4, which also had the problem similary occuring after the last stable update to Android.
Maybe someone who has experience loading device firmware could chime in on if it would even be possible, possibly using Oneplus 5T sources or older OOS. Oneplus 5T supposedly has Ant+ working fine.
Hello,
my friend has a Samsung galaxy note 8 with the model SM-N950F and he was thinking about giving me his phone to install a custom ROM for him, the phone is running stock ROM.
my question is what is the most stable android 12/13 Rom ( AOSP ) that doesn't require rooting and has banking apps and the pen working fine, also what is the latest stable TWARP and Odin that works for that model ( because I had SM-G530h and some Odin versions didn't work with it ).
one more question is it available to go back to Stock ROM once again using Odin like with old Samsung phones and where can I find a trusted source as Sammobile doesn't seem to work for me for some reason?
thanks in advance for your help.

Your question is a contradiction. You're asking whether you can use a custom ROM without root but still pass Play Integrity and other checks? This is not possible. Simply having an unlocked bootloader makes your device fail. To pass Play Integrity and be able to use banking apps, the Universal SafetyNet Fix module is required for use with Magisk. Further, AOSP does not include any of the "frills" that Samsung preloads into their firmware, meaning that not all features may work, including the S Pen. If you want to try AOSP anyway, you can follow my guide here to install an AOSP GSI.
As for returning your device to stock using Odin, yes. Sammobile is a good source, but if it doesn't work for you, you can try Frija or Samfirm.js to download the firmware directly from Samsung's servers.

Frija is faster and I recommend it. SAMMobile forces users to register to their website and limit your DL-speed.
It's not strictly required to use Magisk. Some Custom ROMs by default spoof SafetyNet Attestation to BASIC and don't need Magisk.
But in the case of Custom ROMs like LineageOS (which doesn't spoof/hide the Unlocked Bootloader on purpose!), or Stock OneUI ROM, you do need to use Magisk + "MagiskHide Props Config" Magisk Module and set the fingerprint to Note8. If Note8 isnt available as a fingerprint, use SafetyNet-Fix Module.
Also, I don't use my Note 8 anymore, but we have Custom ROMs for Note8. I see we have LineageOS 20.0. Why use GSIs? They are much more unstable and buggy.

LineageOS is largely developed as a GSI. Yes, in many cases, it is bundled with a device specific kernel as a complete ROM, but for Project Treble compliant devices, a Generic System Image is just that - a single generic system image that does not have any device specific functions and can be used with any kernel on any device. In that regard, the official AOSP GSIs are very stable, and any issues are usually involved with the kernel, not the system image.

To be able to use Banking Apps, the following practices are good.
Passing SafetyNet (you can check this with YASNAC from Play Store).
If you don't pass SafetyNet, use Magisk with one of the 2 modules mentioned above.
You may also need to enable Zygisk, Enforce DenyList, and add your Banking Apps to Magisk DenyList.
I use a Xiaomi Poco F3 with ArrowOS Custom ROM, it already contains patches to force SafetyNet to BASIC, and so I dont need any modules, but only Zygisk, Force DenyList, and add my Banking Apps to the DenyList and reboot ^^

My Xiaomi Poco F3 (2021) supports Treble and GSI's are not at all usable/daily-drivable. Scratchy Sound, Missing Vibration etc..

What GSIs have you tried? I suspect that the device kernel is not fully Treble compliant.

Generic System Image releases | Platform | Android Developers

The official Googley ones. Tho I don't mind, since I use an AOSP Custom ROM anyway (on my Xiaomi phone). My Note 8 is kept on OneUI 1.0... i miss the "Samsung Experience" dayz.. Yknow, the OS that came after TouchWiz. It had a rather professional-looking boxy design. Don't like the Huge padding and Rounded Corners of OneUI. The modern OneUI versions are also eh. Due to Samsung stuffing additional apps like TikTok and other rubbish as pre-installed apps.

Huh. I've used both the "pure" GSIs from Android CI, as well as the Android Developer GSIs on my Tab A 8.0 with the CUK4 kernel. Everything works like it should. Make sure you're using the correct architecture and bitness for your device - most are arm64 - but in the off case that your Xiaomi isn't ARM, there will likely be a lot of issues.
Remember that while a Treble kernel should run any GSI, you still have to wipe data. You can't go from OEM firmware to GSI or vice versa without a data wipe; that cause a a lot of stability issues.
thanks for the replays and information guys regarding official releases of AOSP ROMs I haven't seen one that is higher than android 9 ( which is mainly the reason why we want to install a higher version due to compatibility issues with the company portal apps ) so any idea what is the most stable ROM for that model running android 10 or above
