I recently installed AICP Nougat. Great ROM. However, I am unable to find apps like Netflix and Mario Run on the Play Store. I am unable to even install Netflix with an APK that I downloaded. Any ideas what would be causing this? I am in the USA, running X727 on Cricket (AT&T). I'm about to try Omni to see if that has the issue as well, but figured I would check here first.
Thanks.
Using latest Omni, can't find Netflix on Play. Maybe it has something to do with Android version and Netflix not supporting it.
I have the same issue with Omnirom. Downloaded Netflix app from Apk4fun and it runs fine; so it must be a Play Store issue.

Your link got me to a version I could install. Thanks!
Im facing the same issue!
I have AOSP Extended v4.4 i.e. android Nougat 7.1.1. The app i noticed missing was Monument Valley, I seriously thought of buying apps from now on to support devs but seriously this brings me back to pirating
Is there any method other than apk? Even GTA V manual is not supported in my phone!
It may be region related. I have Omnirom and I can install Netflix and Monument Valley. I live in Eastern Europe. I had problem when google store said that some game was not available in my region.
Do those ROMs fail SafetyNet? You might have to use Magisk or something. This is why I don't bother with custom ROMs or root anymore, unfortunately. My gaming apps search for SafetyNet and root, and it's a pain to get SafetyNet working every few months after an app detects any SafetyNet bypasses.
It's just because you are root...
I have root with Magisk and I can install Netflix and the rest on the latest Omnirom.

Hello Guy,
After I have flashed CM12.1, I have been unable to download some of the game I was able to download before when I was on TW. In the Google Play Store, these games are showing up as not compatible with my device.
When I emailed the support team of game developers, they came back with the following statement:
"Rooted phones may make the game incompatible as it could spoof the device token that is sent to google play that would decide if you can download the game or not."
Anyone know if there is a way around this?
Happened to me too. But it was GPE and CM12.1.
A possible solution might be to download the game apk and data, if available.
You could also try editing the build.prop to change the phone model. But this may, or may not, cause other issues.

Yeah, that is how I am currently getting the games but prefer a real fix, some of these sites are dodgy.
Change roms, I guess.
The problem is not cause by root, as they say, it is caused by the rom.
If it would be caused by root then you could simply use one of those apps that hides the root status.
Is it just me or has anyone else faced problems downloading and installing new apps from Google Play Store? I'm on Google Play Store build version 4.9.13 & Google Play Services version 6.1.11 (1474901-036). Even the older apps are not getting updated. The download/install status bar just keeps running forever. I have even done a factory reset but that hasn't helped. Any help in this regard would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The same for me last month.... After flash a couple of roms, now finally work fine, and I can download from Google play store.

Which ROM did you flash? Was it stock ROM? If so, which version? I would really appreciate your help.
It's happened to me with discovery elite, try with aosp, and works good, return to discovery, but not works, try xsoul, and no works, return to discovery, and now works fine.
I was wondering if anyone else out there is having these issues or knows a work around for them
basically can't install gear vr, amazon prime video, netflix, etc
not sure if I need a root hider or custom rom to fix?
granted I'm still working through getting xposed working correctly, last I saw it was having problems with nougat but apparently someone's figured a way
So this thread is for discussing sideloads and getting apps working under root
My first thought is it'll probably go down a lot like snapchat, disable install everything re-enable
I have the G955U1. Rooted following both steps in the [ROOT]G955U/G9551U thread. Then, doing a search in the same thread, Post #744 has the fix for Netflix. My Hulu, Snapchat and Gear VR also work just fine (don't know if it's because of the Netflix fix too). I have not found a working exposed yet for this model phone. Maybe you should try the whole root process again?

problem with xposed is mostly with android 7 (nougat) itself, but there's a work around and it seems to function, but it's both unstable and some modules just don't work
edit: functions *conditionally* for androids via magisk, not stating s8 validation as of yet

thanks for the info about getting these apps working though

I have Xposed running now and so far the modules I'm using are working fine.
Man I have read a ton and I am pretty much ready to install my first custom ROM (especially since ZTE seems to be done and thus no more official updates). I have a couple questions though that I was hoping somebody would indulge.
- After installing the latest gapp will I be able to update the apps via the play store properly? I know I had los installed on a tablet back in the day and most of the apps wouldn't update (was never sure if that was my error or by design).
- If there are potential issues that I couldn't live with ... how difficult of a process will it be to return to stock? What traces will there be that I had installed a custom rom at one point in time?
The HTC One M8 was the last phone that I actively maintained custom roms and flashed on a regular basis. I'm a little rusty.
Thank you to whoever takes the time to help me out! Much appreciated!

I've been on 15.1 since release, it's pretty good, still a couple of niggles but mostly good.
Yep GApps update, I installed the Aroma package, I like the pixel launcher and Google dialer etc. All updating fine.
I haven't done this but I believe you download an EDL package and flash that with the EDL tool, should put you straight back to stock.

Thank you for the quick reply!
Yeah using the google dialer and camera app are the ones I am most looking forward to using. I used to use the dialer on my One M8 and I loved it. Have you tried Google Pay? I would assume that as long as I don't root I should be able to use whatever.
I read somebody having trouble with installing Netflix from the play store stating that they got the message that it wasn't compatible with their device. Have you experienced anything like this? I remember running into this from time to time with some past custom roms where the device ID wouldn't show up properly and caused some perceived incompatibility. Do you know what device the AXON 7 shows up as once it has the custom rom installed on it?
Thanks again!

That's a problem from the past. Use Magisk and you'll be fine.
The phone shows as "ZTE Axon 7" and the model will be changed to A2017U. Don't worry, but remember that your phone is still whatever model it was, i.e. keep using whatever modem corresponds
If Netflix doesn't appear just download the apk from somewhere else, but it should appear anyways if you install Magisk and it passes safetynet (after you do, just hit the "check safetynet" button
Hello Friends,
I unrooted my S8 yesterday by installing the latest stock firmware. One reason was, that Netflix didn't play any video on the device.
Now I can't even install Netflix from the Playstore due to incompatibility.
I downloaded the APK directliy from the Netflix help page, but If i want to start the app it says the App is not compatible to my device.
Is that because of the broken knox? Is there any workaround?
Any help appreciated, i dont want to buy a new phone because of one app.
Thanks
Apks from uptodown working

PM me I have Netflix downloaded from Mobilism from my reg account for install... I cannot download it since I am rooted so I have to get the updated apk when needed.
