I've always loved the idea of being able to pay (at a lot of places, now) using NFC technology. Unfortunately, root access, xposed, and now a custom rom (Props to the EpicROM team!) have always out prioritized the NFC payment feature.
I've read a great deal about Magisk, and so I know how it works, but afaik EpicROM is packaged with SuperSU and so there isn't a straightforward way to use one of the compatible superuser apps. So, my question is (and the custom rom issue might be a bit much to tackle, but it's worth asking), has ANYONE managed to get Android Pay working on their Mix?
Also, I searched around for a good bit, only to find the answer elude me: Are there acceptable substitutes for Android Pay that do the same thing (NFC payment, "tap and go"?) and are accepted by most point of sale setups?

To pass safety net you need to
1. Be unrooted
2. Have an official rom, which is stable (not developer)
3. Have a locked bootloader
So most probably, Magisk will not help you on this

Yeah the three things you listed there are things I think I'd rather have than the slight inconvenience of having to actually pull out my wallet to pay for things.
In an ideal world we'd all be able to pay with PayPal using NFC technology, but oh well.
There is a kernel patch which fakes a verifiedboot state; you can try that.

I'm usually pretty technologically literate, but I'm not sure what I'm looking at. Part of the first URL you linked includes the words "oneplus," suggesting to me that it might not be as simple as just running that command line script. I don't expect to be spoon-fed information, but links to any related threads would be much appreciated.
I relocked my bootloader after I installed the official Global rom. I can add my credit cards but I can't get it to pay for anything at a terminal. It just doesn't launch at all.
Instead of flashing patched kernel, I would recommend flashing resurrection rom instead.
I installed RR, AEX, AOSP, and some more custom ROMs on my G5S Plus and in every ROM, Google sign-in gives a mail "Welcome to your pixel...". Is there any specific reason behind this ?
And, can I change it by simply editing build.prop ?
I have not experienced that with the ROMs you listed nor on others except for maybe Pixel Experience ROM. Also a couple of times (I think) when I've flash extras/mods like Pixel GApps / Pixel Experience mod.
You can surely look through the build.prop to see if you find anything.
Nothing on this one but I'll check the others. I think one identifies itself as a Pixel.

On few device, it is temporary fix to pass safetynet, safetynet passes if ROM uses pixel's or oneplus's build fingerprints (don't know exact word )
PS. i couldn't find any source commit for above fix. I may be right or wrong, dont know..

I'm saying this because,
1. I received mail about new device sign-in, which called the device as Pixel 2.
2. I received suggestion in settings app, to setup my "Pixel".
3. Googled the build number (AEX), and the search results were for Google Pixel.
I want to change it back if there won't be any problem.
Further question, Is it the reason that Moto apps are not available for my phone now, on Play Store ?

Its a good news for you i think ,you can get some benefit from this case like you can save your picture on google foto on original size with unlimited, for free,
As a ROM developer/maintainer, I can safely say that this is to bypass SafetyNet. Custom ROMs will not pass ctsProfile checks if the build fingerprint is not set to that of the Pixel. Changing it back to that of the G5S Plus still probably won't get you access to Moto apps on the Play Store, I think.
Anyone flashing it?
Edit:
ADB installer for 12, Beta 1. Hasn't been tested but the one I made for my pixel 3xl worked fine.

Still thinking about it. Not sure if the current dp features are worth losing root and such for. Once the UI changes and the new widgets and such appear, it's on.
I was thinking about it too... But I think that it is dp1 and not stable for daily use... have to wait my friend XD
I'm on it and rooted. Seems ok so far, all my apps work properly.

Does gpay work with root? Also, are the new widgets present?
I'm pretty much going to be waiting a day or two to see what the reports are on how stable it is. DP1 don't always have the best track record.
Other than that I'm not rooted, so I should be fine as far as that goes.

I flashed android 12 dp1 wiped data and then flashed a patched boot image. Next update, I'll fkash magisk to inactive slot and should be fine.

You don't necessarily have to do a full wipe, but still I'm going from Android 11 to 12, thought it can't hurt. I can post my patched boot image, but it's always better if you just patch it yourself with magisk manager

yes, I have done it before, and will do it.
So, is it worth flashing? I'm still on the fence it GPay doesn't work, but if most/all others work I may be down.

Usually DP1s are buggy, but I haven't found any real issues at all. All my apps work and Safetynet passes now, so gpay works.
Another thing came to mind. Are bubbles present and working?

Well, this is a good news.m
G'day
I'm sick of google and everything they are about. Don't be evil my arse. I already do the simple stuff like using brave browser and duck duck go search. I'm hoping someone can advise me on how to strip my phone of as much google as possible and replace with aosp alternatives. Or even just point me towards some guides on it.
I am using a Samsung galaxy a22 5g rooted with magisk stock rom.
Thanks
I think you might want to flash a custom ROM, then use something like MicroG Magisk, NanoDroid or FOSSApps. Ungoogling an already Googled stock ROM might be more pain than flashing something community developed.
I'm currently running Lineage with Magisk GApps (so I can remove them anytime) and I'm slowly getting ready for the transition. So I'm also looking for more information.
I set up a VPS for myself (might be an overkill for you, but inspiration nonethelss) and I'm hosting OnlyOFFICE Community there and using their apps, I also host my own BitWarden password storage and a mail server (was kinda pain to set it up with all the methods for spam verification). This way some of my most sensitive data is kept on an encrypted drive on a server I myself control.
Then there's getting apps which are mainly available through Google Play - I found that uptodown does host apks, but that's far from an actually viable option (considering you really have to trust them when you're downloading apps there). Alternative stores providing the same apps as Google Play are always kinda worrying to use & trust.
So that's my two cents worth and a starting point, I'll also gladly accept some tips & tricks to accomplish this entirely, it's a long-lasting dream to leave Google altogether.

i think it's better to use a custom aosp rom with no gapps
if you still want stock rom :
make a recovery backup of "system" just in case
mount system
the folders that have apps are :
system/app
system/priv-app
system/product/app
system/product/priv-app
(if you use A11+ check also system-ext/app and priv-app)
delete anyhing related to google
if you don't want to delete use lucky patcher or titanium backup to freez them
if you choose freezing, make a recovery backup of "data"

Hey thanks for the reply and info. Flashing an aosp custom rom would be my usual go to. However I've been on an oppo with unlockable bootlader for last 18 months and now I got this samsung I find there is zero rom dev on this phone. The only options I can find are GSI which is a new concept to me and I'm a little uncertain about going that route.

Cheers for this. Agree on the first statement but having been on an oppo with unlockable bootlader for last 18 months and now I got this samsung I find there is zero rom dev on this phone. The only options I can find are GSI which is a new concept to me and I'm a little uncertain about going that route.
Do you think I should go with a GSI rom? If safe and stable I'm happy to do the research because I'd love to get a custom aosp rom going on this.
Afaik this samsung can't even access fastboot gotta use the Samsung flashing software instead and the only thread on twrp for this phone is experimental and doesn't seem to be confirmed as working by anyone.
Hence why so far I've stuck with stock and magisk
I used to flash heaps of roms and kernels on older devices but this whole GSI thing is new to me. If it's dicey I'll go the TB route with the folders you pointed me to. Cheers

Cool cheers for your help mate. Touche on the last point. New job with nice pay bump coming so that will be the go I think.
I use Graphene OS on my Pixel 6 and CalyXOS on the 4a. Both are very good degoogled ROMs.
I built a Magisk module for this some time ago. However, it's very likely that it won't work anymore and will probably cause a bootloop. I'm only posting it in case someone wants to use the repo as inspiration.

and the Pixels have a unique feature - the bootloader can be locked back AFTER flashing a custom ROM

Hello everyone,
I want to know if there is a custom rom that is compatible with nfc to pay contactless with your phone.
But also, if this rom exists, is it compatible with android auto and voice control with google assistant.
or to keep all the options and possibilities of the phone, can I install a stock rom (my phone is locked to miu 12.5 version by my operator!) but for that I have to root and unlock the phone?
Sorry if the answer is in the foeum but I did not find in the various presentations of the roms or so I misread!
Thanks in advance for your
Isn't working NFC in ROMs pretty much the norm? Google Pay might be a bit stubborn to work in some due to SafetyNet/root complications, but should be possible to get it working most of the time.
Thank you for your answer.
I don't quite understand your first sentence, I'm not a good English speaker!!
Do you mean that now custom roms are all compatible with nfc and therefore the possibility of paying with it?
Whether with the application of his bank?
Because my bank is not compatible with Google pay!

Arrow os and pixel experience working for me, the only downside miui camera not there.
Best answer is try rom your self maybe work for me but not for you.
But if I unlock my phone, do I risk losing options like nfc permanently or can I go back?
I adhere to this request.
I tested AOSP Extended, Arrow OS, Evolution X, crDroid, in their android 11 and 12 respective versions, but in none of them I was able to make NFC work on this phone. Some of them have the NFC menu on the configuration menu and some not, but the result is always the same: I get "NFC failed" error or similar when an app needs to access the NFC device.
Before unlocking the device and installing custom ROMs, I did install the latest update of MIUI, based on android 12 (less than a month ago) to make sure I have the latest firmware installed, though I don't seem to find a way to check the current FW version without MIUI installed.
Also, I did check that NFC was working (on MIUI) before installing any custom ROM, so I know for certain it's not a hardware problem.
If I find a solution to this issue, I'll post here. Let me know if you find anything.
BR,
GH

Hmm, that is very unfortunate.
Since the Note 10 Pro has been out for a while, I guess that means there is nothing to be done about it?
Edit: However, statements by others seem to imply that NFC should be working, so maybe there is something your missing?

You should test it yourself it depends on your nfc app.

Nobe with this device, although some companies like Apple and Samsung do that.

My xiaomi is a global.
It seems to me to risk doing these manipulations to then lose the nfc and no longer be able to go back!
Hello, I also have the global Note 10 Pro, I am currently testing different ROMs but none of them show up or I can enable NFC, which is strange since I have seen reviews on YT where they can, I can only use NFC when I install any version from MIUI, I wanted to know if you know any news on this topic

I have been testing various roms (crDroid, PixelOS, projectElixir, evolution-X, ...) before using now, since more than a month, lineageOS 20 as daily driver.
I never met the problem you are mentioning.
I would also suggest, as someone else has just done, that you make a clean installation.

I have investigated on the subject and apparently my model "M2101K6R" has problems with the roms, but the only one that works for me is Lineage OS, and the strangest thing is that this rom automatically changes my device to "M2101K6G" and that's why NFC works for me in that rom
