Hey all,
I'm a regular on these forums (throughout the day every day) and like to develop my own ROMs for other devices and help out in every way I can!
I noticed a lot of threads spread out across the AFTV forum for Xposed, Gapps etc. I however feel they should all be in one place!
I will provide details/instructions for things that worked for me.
I will not have guides someone else made without their permission as well as I will provide credits where due!
* I will not cover rooting or installing a pre rooted ROM.
* I will assume if you are here you are on @rbox latest rom/recovery. You have root with SuperSU and a working Busybox.
* Thread will be cleaned and links added soon!
*I will upload files I know work 100% to either my AFH or my Drive folder.
* Eventually (when I get my keyboard/mouse) I will be creating ROMs with all of this baked in.
Xposed+Play Store
I didnt get around to pictures and a more advanced tutorial YET but willpost screens later:
1) Be on rbox latest pre rooted rom and recovery.
2) Download the following: Xposed framework, Xposed installer apk, hdx module apk, open gapps nano flashable zip, lean back playstore 5.10 & Market helper apk (market helper might not be necessary but I used it.)
https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0By9dxKZHr9vaUVhMRnc0RGxTNnc/edit
3) Have a custom launcher already such as leanback launcher or firestarter etc. as well as a root browser like es file explorer and/or root browser.
4) If mouse doesnt work then use a mouse apk such as Wukong on play store.
5) Move all downloaded files to storage of choice (internal sd card, microSD or usb storage)
6) Boot into TWRP and navigate to the Xposed framework and flash it then reboot system.
7) Once booted install the Xposed installer apk and reboot.
8) Install HDX module apk.
9) Go into Xposed installer it should say everythings installed. Go to modules and use a mouse to check the box for HDX and reboot.
10) Boot back into TWRP and navigate to and flash the open gapps zip and reboot to system.
11) Go into system/priv-app/Phonesky/ and delete the phonesky apk and reboot.
12) Using a root browser, navigate to the leanback play store we downloaded and rename to Phonesky.apk
13) Copy the apk and put it in /system/priv-app/Phonesky/Phonesky.apk
14) Set permissions on Phonesky.apk to rw-r-r and reboot
15) When booted back up, using a 3rd party launcher, open Play Store.
16) You might need to use a mouse again to be able to sign into google account.
17) optional step, install market helper apk and set to Google/Android TV.
Play Store should work and download apks successfully.
Note: As usual usb debugging should be on throughout the whole process and when opening stuff make sure to grant su permissions if it pops up throughout the process.
V4A with Neon
1) Download latest V4A apk and push to device.
2) Install apk and open it.
3) When it prompts, install driver (if it gives an option install highest quality.)
4) Download and extract zips at this drive folder (also download the v4a apk while youreat it) :
https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0By9dxKZHr9vaOHJOMkc3TUFsSXM/edit
5) Take all the files and place in respective folders. For example, 50viper.sh goes into /system/etc/init.d/50viper.sh
6) Each file we push needs to have permissions set to rw-r-r.
7) Reboot device.
8) Push universal init.d from the play store to your device and install it.
9) Open it and grant su. You should see the 50viper.sh file. Turn the init.d switch to on in the app and then press the start button towards top right.
10) you should see it say it was started. Now open the V4A app and select the menu button (you can use menu button on fire tv remote) and go to driver status.
It should say everything thing is enabled and supported! Keep in mind it will not show processing unless you are playing audio.
Miscellaneous APK's (Leanback Youtube, ADB Wifi, Kodi 15.2 etc. Is a work in progress...)

Thanks Elliwigy! I am going to try again with playstore when I get home. I couldn't get the playstore to show in Firestarter. I ended up installing the apk as a normal app which gave the error code upon installing anything from the store. I will also try v4a and leanback you tube. I'll let you know how it goes!
worked perfectly for me.
Great work...

If you have Magisk, use the module. The thing os that Android seems to prioritize the app that's in data as opposed to the one on system. So what you have to do for it to work is get a file manager (i recommend the new Root Browser, it's probably the least bloated out there), go to /data/app, then find youtube (maybe com.google.youtube?) and delete the folder. After that just go back one folder and return again, check that it isn't there, and then go to Play Store and deactivate auto-updates (open the app description, and open the 3 dot menu).
If you don't have magisk all that stuff will work. Just remember that if Play Store updates the app you'll lose it until you reboot

There isn't a youtube folder where you instructed me to look. I think Titanium Backup removed it on it's own.
I might just have to reinstall this ROM, install Magisk, and use the module. Ugh spent all afternoon/evening unlocking and rooting this thing. Almost there.
Appreciate the feedback

What did you do with titanium backup?? Did you uninstall the app after flashing iYTBP?
Try rebooting twice, the app might get replaced

I used Titanium to uninstall the original Youtube app that came with the phone.
I've rebooted twice. Still not showing up in either the App Drawer, or Data/APP folder.
Reinstalled the iYPTB via twrp again, rebooted, and still nothing in either locations.
I'm at a loss, almost ready to go magisk tomorrow.

You didn't have to do that... It might have uninstalled the /system/app one
One other thing. Use root browser to get to /system/app, find the youtube folder. Check the apk's thumbnail. If it is iytbp's then you almost definitely have com.google.youtube on data or auto-update on play

Using Link2SD When I click. "Integrate update into system" I get an error "System Device busy or Resource busy"

Flashed iYPTB again after reinstalling YouTube, and now it's the Vanced version! Awesome! Finally got my phone to where I want it
And yes, I unchecked auto update from the play store

That's the problem.
You need to have a working youtube app before flashing the iYPTB zip on TWRP, but you should clear data and cache of this app beforehand.
PS: I also have Magisk but didn't use the module.

Might just say to heck with it and reinstall everything with magisk next weekend. Working great as is right now though
This is way late but might be helpful in the future.
I've never had luck with the Vanced installer for some reason.
Anyway, awhile back @raystef66 made an installer with the black iYTB which worked perfectly.
Besides installing new builds manually one could also swap out the builds in the installer with a newer one, white or black, I guess.

I used it, it's nice and all but the Magisk module works the same and installs the latest version. Since you use microG you may not have trouble with auto-update, but sometimes I had to reflash the zip if play updated it (Auto update is disabled and still sometimes it just decides to ignore that...)
I'm seeing more and more people use Android phones Google-free by not installing gapps and getting all their applications through alternative sources like F-Droid. When I look at the custom ROMs for the Essential Phone, I see most have gapps baked in.
Just curious if anyone has experience on the PH-1 without gapps or Google service. What ROM are you using? Any issues?

Yes I'd love to know if anyone has gone microG, Xposed FakeGapps on Oreo with a custom rom?
Also if anyone has used Terminal Debloater on Stock Oreo and doing ok?

Does Generic System Image come with Gapps? if not then you can use that.

I was thinking that as well. In fact, perhaps the deodex ROM is without gapps. I'll have to ask in that thread.

It has been a long process, but I am most of the way there. Used deodexed Oreo Stock. Had to use Tingle manually to patch the framework.jar to get microg running. Haven't debloated yet, but most of the stock apps are disabled at this point. Most apps I use are from F-Droid. Using it as DD now.
Took several days to discover the NFC point is very narrow at the bottom center of the back. I had thought I had broken something. :silly:
I think I'm 99.9% there with CarbonROM LOL...
UnifiedNip is registerd in system, but this section I can't checkmark, even after rebooting. I was using the latest Preview GMSCore, I'll flash the rom over and try with the Stable GMSCore and see if it makes any difference and report back.
I have Xposed, FakeGapps, Magisk 16.7, Magisk Module for F-Droid Privilege, and Debloater (Terminal), and F-Droid. Everything working pretty good, Debloater systemlessly removed some Gapps I didn't want, Browser, Calendar, Gallery...

I don't have "UnifiedNlp has known location" checked even though Satstat and OSM clearly show the location.

Where did you see, get this at?
Ok UnifiedNIp is registered in system - [Checked]
To make everything work correctly, you'll want to push the GmsCore.apk to /system/priv-app/GmsCore/GmsCore.apk and then extract the lib/ folder from the GmsCore.apk to /system/priv-app/GmsCore/lib - otherwise the bundled libraries will not be found by the app and the maps library will crash apps.
If you don't know how to extract from an .apk, just rename to .zip, then copy out the lib directory.
I did have Xposed modules installed for this, so I will go back one more time, wipe it all again, and this time, see if I get it again.

I had the FakeGapps errors in the Xposed Log [systemless version 90.2-beta3]. Tried several things. Interesting you didn't experience them.
I was always able to get UnifiedNLP to registered. It just doesn't show that it has a known location in the microg self check, but SatStat, OSM and others show it.

How are you installing microg? I just installed the apk is all, these versions and in this order;
Services Core - com.google.android.gms-12221403.apk
Services Framework Proxy - com.google.android.gsf-8.apk
Store (FakeStore release) - com.android.vending-16.apk
DroidGuard Helper - org.microg.gms.droidguard-14.apk
This is how I intalled microg on another phone and rom and it always worked.

I noticed I had an issue with FakeGapps because the MicroG self check showed that sig spoofing failed. At some point after that, I found the Xposed logs showing many errors for Null Pointer exception. I searched around but could not find anyone else with the issue. I submitted an issue on github.
SatStat, OSM are open source apps that will show location on a map. They are able to locate me so I know it is working using UnifiedNlp Settings (shows in the Setting > Location settings).
I installed microG using NanoDroid 17.7 using the full package.

I'd use the Xposed Installer - XposedInstaller_3.1.5.apk;

But I've learned a trick with it, flash rom and magisk, then install Xposed as the first app, and install the framework from within Xposed 'Install/Update' click cloud on right...
P.S. I'm not using Xposed any longer since it will break SafetyNet check....

Have you cleared the cache or data for the affected apps? I've noticed apps seem to remember if they have detected root and clearing cache will usually make clear it up.
Ive cleared cache, rename any magisk word in files, i even unroot my phone.
After unroot8ng and clearing cache app is working.
After root, selec5 app to hide root and run the app, it detected as rooted device.
Easy fix
Install
Magiskhide props config
From magisk modules
Working perfectly for me
Not working at all. Installed module. Unable to run the app.

Before you do all that work, you should try Canary version 18.2 Magisk. No need for renaming files, installing a module config. Flash the 18.2 Magisk Canary and that's it.
Actually, for me it is working partly. After disable and enabling magisk hide it works for a few hours.
Will try to update to v19, maybe that fixes it.
But glad to hear not to be the only one having issues.
Edit: V19 fixed it for me.
Damn. I still havr nothing
Try going into the settings of magisk and select hide magisk manager and repackage with different name. That works for me.
Hi XDA,
Phone: OnePlus One Pro 8
Model: IN2025
OS: Oxygen OS 11.IN11AA
Magisk:1469b82a (21101)
I recently rooted my phone and it works quite well, I have used Magisk Hide to 'hide root from my banking apps', it works so does NFC and google pay.
I hide the following service through magisk hide: (Banks, Google Play Game, Google Play Services, an authenticator (Duo Mobile))
1) However, I don't seem to be able to install some games from google playstore, namely : Eve Echoes, World of Warships, Warpath ..all of them download but give the error "Can't install, try again"
Is there a work around?
2) On a side note: is apkpure a trusted website (they seem to have APKs for everything)?
Thank you!
Cheers,
DV

2) On a side note: is apkpure a trusted website (they seem to have APKs for everything)?
Thank you!
Cheers,

I'm not sure about why google play won't work, probably you can try to wipe data and cache of the Google Play services and google play store and maybe that would work?
I have the apkpure app and it works beautifully, it updates my apps and games faster than the app store and even beta version you can find there. I mainly use apkpure so I can download games and apps that are "not available in my region"

Hi XDA,
Phone: OnePlus One Pro 8
Model: IN2025
OS: Oxygen OS 11.IN11AA
Magisk:1469b82a (21101)
I recently rooted my phone and it works quite well, I have used Magisk Hide to 'hide root from my banking apps', it works so does NFC and google pay.
I hide the following service through magisk hide: (Banks, Google Play Game, Google Play Services, an authenticator (Duo Mobile))

Hi dladz,
I turned off play protect, restarted the phone and cleared storage and cache.
No luck
Any other ideas?

@dvartak May sound stupid, but does the Play Store app has storage access ? I had the same message when using microg and the Play Store, I wasn't able to install any "big" app until I gave the storage permission.

Hi,
Yes, it does. I can install big games and apps. I can install Genshin impact and other games(offline), which is why I am perplexed as to why others won't install.

That's bizarre never heard of it
Can I ask, have you got the dreaded lucky patcher installed?
If not then might be time to clear down play services, play store, play games etc, sign out - sign in
Try pushing the game by saying you want to install it via the web.
Go here and sign in, then find the game, choose your phone and itll push to your device, don't let the play store open the link
https://play.google.com/store
What modules do you have installed??

No lucky patcher
The only thing I have installed is systemless. I tried installing magiskhide props config to see if it helped; it did not, so I uninstalled it.
On the web, it says 'installed', but it isn't.
EDIT: I tried with another gmail account, reinstalling google play games.
Other online games such as Clash of Clans seem to work, so does Among Us and Genshin Impact.
The ones that don't work that I have tried: Eve Echoes, WarPath and World of Warships < All of these show up as installed on the web (but aren't installed on any android device that I own).
Eve Echoes downloads starts installing and gives the error unable to install.
Can some one who is rooted try if these games will work.
ok, one more interesting update: Netflix app seems to work, I thought it shouldn't work on rooted phones.

Do you mind linking the APKpure app here please. My guess is that I have to side load it.?

Ill try them, see what I get, not my types of games but sure np.
Must have detected root.
I think it's the game detecting it, not your system. Or Google play won't allow the installation if you're rooted on those games.
I'll try them now.
Seems to be working for me..that's warpath.. Installed then verified in game. I have play protect off
This is my version of magisk on canary.
Edit: Image uploads not working on the app.
It's version 1469b82a
You could maybe change to canary then update, will need to repatch and update magisk manager. It's easy, no need for ADB

Just so that I have understood it correctly,
Step 1: Set channel to Canary,
Step 2: Update Magisk and Manager to whatever is latest
Step 3: move the magisk_patched file to my downloads folder
Umm..what do you mean by repatch and update magisk ?
Sorry

Ok so change to canary.
Head back to the normal magisk screen.
You'll see two install/update buttons
Top is magisk
Bottom is magisk manager
Update the manager, it'll download,, then click install.
Next click magisk then install directly
Reboot and you're done .
PS: have your original magisk patched img ready just in case but I've done this a LOT and have never had an issue, so you'll be fine.

One quick question, should I disable magisk hide (settings) and systemlesshosts before doing this ?
EDIT:
a) ok so I tried this, I disabled the magisk hide before attempting this, it detected my magiskpatch during direct install. When the phone rebooted things were a bit slow and my internet was not working. Another reboot and everything was fast again, but no luck with Warpath.
b) Tried to clear cache and storage for playstore and google play games. Shutdown the phone, started it again.
No luck.
c) I downloaded APKPure to try and download 'Warpath', it downloaded but would not proceed with installation., I had to manually click install APK.>The game starts and asks to download additional files..., files are downloaded and it fails to install.
In the grand scheme of things it would be great if I could install everything, I can get by with not installing these games. I fear that this might an issue with others apps as well although so far I have not encountered any problems.
Any other things I could try ?
2) On another note, I wanted to know how I could backup my active partition (just incase I want to try things and something breaks).
3) This might not be related at all, I noticed that my root folder (using solid explorer) shows 0B free of 1.42 GB. Is this normal that the root folder is completely full ?
Thanks!

DV

Yes it's tthat's similar to mine. It's possible that that's the problem but I've not witnessed that before, maybe it is the problem.
Ok so it seems were running low on fixes here..it's almost certainly a permissions issue, maybe the system space? I'm guessing!
Have you tried to mount namespace??
Did you hide magisk manager? Unhide it. Btw I don't mean magisk hide I mean the manager, then reboot.
I'm not sure if there is a way to reset all permissions to apps including Android system apps but that would be my next step.
Beyond that, remove modules and wipe system in recovery, it'll be you're system, apps, settings, but storage will remain, it's what I do if I need to start over as system is where 90% of issues reside.. You will need to fastboot boot the magisk patched img then directly install after.
If it's not that then it's a deeper problem and even though it's just a few games at the moment it won't fix itself, so without a tonne of troubleshooting then it'll be MSM or full zip restoring. Probably MSM though as you'll get fresh everything.
Hang on your internet didn't work??
That's a sign that you're using a boot.img from the previous firmware??
That could be the problem. Re download you're firmware using oxygen updater mate.
Open settings /advanced
Then download the full zip.

Yeah you have to side load it. You can go to their official page to download it or use this link

Apologies for not being clear.
My wifi was connected there was just no data transfer.
The only magisk patch I have is from the large file that the phone/oxygen OS downloaded to get me OS 11. You helped me on my other thread.
