Invicta/LineageOS - Magisk - Elemental EX Kernel - FP Sensor Not Working? - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

Running @Silesh.Nair's Invitcta/LineageOS Unoffical ROM, 03/23/2017 build on an XT1644
I was having an issue with YouTube not playing in the background like it used to, despite the fact that I have a Google Music and YouTube Red subscription.
I suspected it may have been due to SafetyNet not passing, perhaps Google is doing some sort of preventive measures against rooted phones.
I took a backup of the phone first and figured I'd flash Magisk so I could hide root from YouTube and tested again. The phone passes safety net now, but the problem with YouTube Red persists. Wondering if maybe it is just a bug in the app or something.
Anyway, now that I have Magisk and Elemental EX Kernel installed, I figure I may as well run it like this for a day or two and see if there is any noticeable difference.
Now my fingerprint sensor is no longer working.
I read on Silesh's post on the ROM page that he had a sensorhub file to flash. I have flashed this file. Proximity sensors are working fine, but no FP sensor. What can I do to fix this? I would imagine I can just restore from backup, but I like that I can now play Super Mario Run by hiding root from the play store
Thanks

I restored my backup and everything is back to normal. My experiment still didn't fix the issue with YouTube Red, so no clue what's up with that.
Still, I am curious to know what I broke and what I could have done to correct it with the Elemental EX kernel and Magisk.
Thanks,

It's working for me with android pay.
Safetynet is passing for me using Magisk v9 & phh's Superuser r266-2, but a new version of each was released last week that chatter in other forums seem to suggest device-specific trouble with. I might try but first wanted to know if anyone else in the LePro3 world already has and had problems. My current interest in safetynet is for Android Pay and DirectvNow.

Linked method is outdated ever since the introduction of November security patch.
Magisk V10 and phh SU r266 working fine for me on 20s
Upgrading worked for me too and I like how safety net check is part of the new status screen.
Seems like known issue but installing Xposed caused safetynet to fail, both before and after upgrade. Uninstalling Xposed caused safety net to pass again.
Root working and safetynet still passing on my x727 after taking the Magisk Manager upgrade to Magisk 11.1 and MagiskSu.
are all of you on a stock ROM and bootloader locked, I am using lineage OS 13, but safety net fails? do you have any idea how to fix this, just wanted to use ANDROID PAY, or do I need to be on STOCK ROM, just don't like the EUI and the status bar icons and the way they look(it's just me). Any help would greatly be appreciated=)
I am on stock ROM and unlocked bootloader. Magisk lets the unlocked bootloader stay. I don't see how safetynet could be expected to fully pass on a non-OEM supported ROM, especially over the longhaul of the cat-and-mouse game.
I don't like EUI either but changing out the launcher and even the notifications pulldown with Play Store apps helps immensely, along with using Titanium to freeze the bloatware. The main EUI remnants left after that is the lockscreen, the settings application, and the recents screen which I tolerate so as to have safetynet.
I could not pass safety net, got CM13, with MAGISK installed. Dang=)

Hi, Did this but after installing MAGISK, everything passed, except FINGERPRINT got disabled, says hardware not supported. Android Pay works,just went to gas station and tried it, works flawlessly. FINGERPRINT is the problem I'm seeing now. Thanks for any help.

You mean you can't use the fingerprint sensor to unlock your phone? I am not sure, that works fine for me.

Yup, what boot image did you install? I think the problem was the boot image I used, are you on the 20's now? thanks
I am running the aboot from dr4stic's 19s unlocked bootloader zip, everything else is from the stock 20s OTA zip.
Ok, I have spent several hours trying to make it work and now time to ask for help. I got Leeco LePro 3 with custom Ron based on EUI, and trying to get Magisk working. First I tried installing system less SuperSU and Magisk, but it failed safety check multiple times, so I tried uninstalling SuperSU and use Magisksu, but not I am not able to move forward. I installed Magisk manager and when it try to install Magisk manager it downloads but doesn't show way to install it, I even try flashing Magisk 12 zip using TWRP, but it fails to update. Can someone please help me with getting Magisk working with safety check?

Flashing Magisk with TWRP should work. What do you mean by it fails to update?

Thinking it's time to upgrade to Nougat but...

So, with the realization that Xposed, etc. are likely dying a slow death I'm coming to the realization more and more that it's time to just get used to using a phone without that stuff and go ahead an upgrade to Nougat. I've been holding off because of the lack of xposed.
My question is...is there anything out there (on the Play Store or downloadable APKs) that will do the same things as these modules and is a legit app and not some junk?
1) Greenify (I know this will work without xposed but some features won't work - is there anything better?)
2) XInsta (download Instagram photos and videos)
3) SnapPrefs (I primarily only use this for typing more text in Snapchat and sharing 20 second videos which are longer than stock, I don't need the other features)
Anyone know of anything that I can download to replace those?
Also, as far as rooting 7.1.1 it's just a matter of applying the latest SuperSU I already am using (I updated my N6P regularly) after flashing the 7.1.1 stock images?
Any pointers will be appreciated.

Hi... I can't answer all your questions, only 2...
About greenify. I used to have it on my N6 running marshmallow. When I upgraded to the N6P, I thought I'd try without, just to see how battery performs. With stock 7.1.1 or PureNexus, the battery drain is negligible. Also, you can install a custom kernels and use custom profiles which tends to help with battery consumption (this is more for screen on usage though).
If you still want to save more juice... There's Franco's naptimes app that forces doze as soon as the screen goes off. I don't use it, so you may try to find more infos by yourself.
I don't use Xinsta, nor SnapPrefs, so i'll pass on this.
For root, flash your stock firmware, flash TWRP with fastboot, reboot to TWRP, then flash SU of your choice. Latest SuperSU is SuperSU 2.79 SR3. Don't reboot to system before the SU install or TWRP will be overwritten by stock recovery and you'll have to reflash it, etc... Starting with 7.x firmware it has to be done this way...
Good luck...

Thanks!
Yeah, I used Elemental right now on my N6P with 6.0.1. So I'm already tweaking that, and I did read about Naptimes just like 5 minutes ago as I was doing further research. Can also run Greenify in basic mode to get some of those benefits back as it doesn't require Xposed for all features.
Really curious about the other two, if anyone knows of any other apps.
Thanks again!

Hey... I don't see any issue as far as I remember that could prevent from using greenify. I don't know how much apps you have installed that could stay running in the background. Doze has been pretty well improved on 7.x compared to marshmallow. Give it a try, you can still install it afterward.
Good luck...
OGinstagram+ can download pictures and videos, it's here on XDA. It's not updated regularly (doesn't get bumped up for each little play store update to Instagram) but it works just fine. No idea about anything for Snapchat or greenify.
On newer versions of Snapchat you can type unlimited captions without Snapprefs. Videos are still stuck at 10 seconds, though.

Ahh! Didn't know that! I can probably deal with the video limit. Good to know, thank you!

Thanks for that suggestion. :good:
Well, I think I have enough to ditch XPosed and go to Nougat...gonna back the phone up first and get to work flashing.

Slow performance

I have the Moto G4 Stock Android with ElementalX, Magisk and Xposed. The apps like gallery, YouTube, eBay, Firefox, Edge etc.... Were freezing up or taking a long time to load when pressing option within the app or browsing website.
I flashed back to stock, deleting, system, data, cache and Dalvik. Then installed ElementalX Magisk and Xposed. I restored my apps with titanium backup.
I thought that it would fix it, but I am still experiencing bad performance. I am not sure if it's xposed or the restore from titanium backup. The only thing I can think of doing is, going back to stock without ElementalX, root or any mods and test the performance.
Is anyone expiencing the same thing?

I would recommend to test without xposed and your mods at first(you already didn't mention what mods you're using).

I've had the same issue as well. Sometimes I wake in the morning, my phone has rebooted apparently, and all apps popup crashing. Once I restart the phone it is back to normal, at least until it happens again. I don't think it's Magisk, as I've had that installed since Day 1. My guess is that installing Xposed ~2 months ago is the culprit.
Sorry I don't have a solution, but similar experience.
You should try to test it without Xposed first. If that does not work try reconnecting your battery. It's probably because of the limited supply of power. Check with CPU-Z if all the cores are working properly. If not try reconnecting your battery. I have had lags and frequent shutting down on my G4 Plus. I tried reconnecting the battery and it's fixed now.
I'm experiencing it too. Not only the performance dropped, but also device is heating up like crazy. On stock not rooted

Maybe an process going roque. You can try booting to recovery and clear cache.

What ROM setup can I use Netflix with?

I have Lineage Marshmallow and Netflix did not show in Google Play. I installed Magisk through its manager, made sure Hide was on, then Netflix was still not in Play. I downloaded an apk from a trusted site (can't remember want it was at the moment, apkmirror or something like that). It started bootlooping during that install. Had to wipe and reinstall the ROM.
What ROM and magisk combo can I use to get Netflix running? I need Marshmallow or higher, and the camera to function. Suggestions?
Stock Nougat.
Face it, apps are getting better at seeing the **** you do, so just play by the rules. That or stop using ****ing Lineage OS, use AOSP 7.1.2 and stuff, its less customized and thus a bit harder for apps to see with safetynet or similar, but the thing is, at that point you might as well just run stock.
How do I get stock Nougat that has a working cam, and miracast? I was of the impression that Nougat roms disabled both.

Question CTS Profile Mismatch Despite No Root & Netflix not in the App Store?

Hey,
I come to you with a peculiar set of bugs? Problems?
I got a pretty fresh 12G Ram Nothing Phone (1) here. I tried rooting it pretty much immediately with help of the forum post here, but the OTA updater failed afterwards, so I let magisk uninstall itself, flashed a clean full European update and then ran the OTA updater al the way up to 1.1.4, using the phone for 2 days no problems now.
Today I ran into a problem I have never seen before: Netflix on the app store is listed as not compatible with my device. All other streaming apps work. In fact pretty much all other apps I previously used do work (acutally KWGT also showed as incompatible, but the apk from another page worked).
Now all my banking apps still work and they are super sensitive to any changes (except GPay of course, since the bootloader is still unlocked), but I still ran a safety net check, which passed, however the apps I used for testing did still show a cts profile mismatch. How can this be? Is there anything I could do to fix it? Could this cause for whatever reason just a ban on netflix in the store?
Im kind of lost here. Id like to try everything before I have to do a full reset, as that would mean a lot of trouble.
Edit: Well nvm Im idiot. So apparently just having the bootloader unlocked causes a CTS profile mismatch and Netflix does get removed from the appstore for that. Never encountered this on my rooted to death Mix 3 before, which is why I made the assumption that it is weird. Delete this thread if you want
Still any good fix available rn? The Netflix apk alone doesnt seem to work and root is not available yet on 1.1.4 afaik.
