Have just got an M8, sadly its on an really old version of android 5.1 and looking to update it using a custom rom.
one issue though is i really like Android pay/Banking apps to work so cant root or leave bootloader unlocked i dont think?
which ROM would you recommend preferably noughat if you feel its stable on the M8 and how can i make sure both android pay and banking apps work successfully ? do i need to make sure something is locked/not touched?
many thanks! an eager HTC fan!

don't root the rom or use a rootless rom
you can use magisk but safteynet is getting updates this days and magisk will get updates also it's just need time
unlocked bootloader is fine on this device only root is breaking safteynet

Magisk 13 beta is out, which should pass Safetynet. But it is beta, and some folks are having various issues/bugs.
Also, on my current daily driver device (OnePlus 3T) I've tried Magisk 12 with the Magisk module "Universal Safetynet Fix" and it passes Safetynet.
Link to various Magisk threads, if the OP is interested: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk
You are completely right, it's the typical "cat and mouse game", where Google doesn't like Safetynet bypassed, will keep updating it; and topjohnwu (dev of Magisk) will keep trying to bypass it. Really annoying, for those of us that just want control of their phone (for simple things like Viper4A, Titanium, etc.) but still want access to banking apps, Netflix, etc.
Official Xposed Framework for Android Nougat is Here – Download your Favorite Modules Now!
Announcement by rovo89 in XDA thread
Anyone tried it yet? Please give your feedback here.
He also says Xposed for Oreo won't be a long wait!
Tried it on a stock build, rooted, BL unlocked, etc. Installs great. The Youtube adaway works well, greenify doesnt work yet. the others I use arnt supporting N yet. only a matter of time
either way, its safe to install, make sure you install the correct version, and wipe cache on boot, or else stuff breaks
I mainly used (on my Moto X Pure running MM): GravityBox (which is supposed to be ready), Youtube adaway, and Youtube background play. Greenify and Amplify too but not nearly as important on this phone. OG Youtube has given me pretty much the same capability using custom ROMs, though, along with some of the customization you get in Gravitybox. I do wonder about a potential performance hit running the Xposed framework, but it'd sure be nice having the full stock camera functionality again.

Can you please share the direct download link of what needs to be flashed/installed first? It would be great if you can mention the order of flash/install as well? This is for users like me who would be requiring some help.
Also, I have magisk 14 installed on my rooted g5 Plus and am seeing Xposed Installer in the Downloads section? Can you please confirm if this is the official one?

I'm using the GB beta. It's working well for me. No need to flash AOSP anymore :laugh:
GB has all the things I like to flash LOS for and I don't have to deal with any bugs :good:
I've got it running too, thanks to the favorable feedback getting me to take the plunge after not being on stock for several months. Am using the Youtube Adaway that appears under Installer/Download, then found a Youtube Background Playback module apk that seems to work fine, and the GravityBox/Nougat also as an apk (says it's alpha, not beta). No errors or problems so far and settings are holding after reboots.
I'm really not a big camera user but the stock camera is noticeably brighter and just works way better than those on the custom roms. Viper4Arise (flashed as a zip in TWRP) works on everything but SoundCloud, which I think is a nougat thing because it works on all the oreo roms I tried, but also didn't on most nougat roms.
I'd say it's definitely a go for those wanting to try it, just do some research to see if your preferred modules are working or not, and don't expect it to be perfect yet since it just came out.

ProtonAOSP
Android 11 ROM
ProtonAOSP is a minimal Android fork (custom ROM) focused on UI/UX and performance, with a touch of privacy.
Screenshots
Screenshots of the latest version
Installation
This ROM is currently distributed as factory images, similar to stock. Flash it the same way you would flash stock factory images. Don't forget to wipe all data using "fastboot -w" before booting the ROM.
Firmware is included, so there is no specific requirement for which version of the stock ROM you are coming from.
You can also use the quick & easy web installer, which allows you to install and update the ROM from any computer or phone without using the command line. The installer works entirely within your web browser and completes in as little as 4 minutes, depending on the speed of your internet connection. Consider using the web installer instead of installing manually.

Looks so tempting, downloading as I type.
Quick check - for the updates in future, would we still need to wipe data before booting if already in the previous ProtonAOSP version .
Thank you for bringing love to our pixel series !
Love to know what you have changed to alter battery usage before i download it, every other 11 ROM drains like a bathtub, even at idle
According to the Pixel 5 thread this ROM passes safetynet w/o magisk. looks interesting. Downloading now!

Hello. Proton is incredible. Very fast, smooth and tenacious. Tested it from the first version. Thank you very much. I want to clarify something else for myself: Do I need to flash in both slots if a stock is installed?

No, you only need to wipe data if switching from another ROM.

I didn't do anything specific for battery; it's just that battery tends to be better on custom ROMs than it is on Pixel 2 stock, partially due to being less bloated.

My ROM reports a fake security patch level to SafetyNet so basic attestation will always pass. However, I've observed that Google has started to roll out hardware attestation for the Pixel 2, so I also modified the model name with an invisible character to revert it back to basic. The Pixel 5 name is not used.

Sorry for the inconvenience, the problem lies in a botched SafetyNet fix that was missed in testing due to not flashing all partitions. You can make it boot temporarily by flashing the stock boot image. A hotfix that boots out-of-the-box will be up shortly.

No, ideally the latest stock ROM would be installed in both slots beforehand but that's only because this build is missing firmware. A hotfix will be up shortly with the latest firmware included.
Nice, got gpay working with magisk.
Unfortunately stuck on splash after installing edxposed. This is definitely an unreasonable request but if xposed edge features could be built natively into the rom I wouldn't need xposed

Xposed will never be supported, you are on your own if it's broken. I wouldn't recommend using it because it can cause all sorts of weird bugs.
A hotfix update has just been released to fix issues with a botched SafetyNet fix that caused most apps using HTTP outside of a browser to break, including Google Translate, SMS/MMS, and many others. I've figured out a new way to fix SafetyNet that doesn't come with those pitfalls, so SafetyNet is still passing out-of-the-box and apps will no longer break. A bug with sensitivity in the Active Edge settings has also been fixed, and missing firmware has been re-added so there is no need to flash the latest stock ROM first.
Re-download v11.2.0 from GitHub for the fixes. I've decided to re-upload it rather than bumping the version because the previous SafetyNet fix was very broken and also caused boot failures if boot.img wasn't replaced.

Great work, and thank you for the fast updates. Really looking forward to using the ROM when I clean format next time. Waiting for Google to release the last Security patch in December before making the jump, don't want to clean install every month. I usually stick with a ROM for a few months at a time.
Just to clarify if anyone is confused: this is an Android 11 ROM, not Android 10. XDA DevDB has no option for 11 so I had to put 10. I've just edited the DevDB info out of the post now and added 11 to the header so there should be no more confusion.
I am testing proton, so far its fast, snappy, and stable, one word of caution for anyone who uses my recommendations. Do not patch the boot.img as I always recommended, this landed me in a bootloop. Once I wiped the device clean, and started over (installed ROM+GAPP), then setup the device, then once setup, reboot to BL/TWRP (ADB TWRP), and installed MAGISK zip version from within TWRP, it booted fine. It only has an issue if you patch the boot.img from within MAGISK itself then ADB the boot.img. Normally this is the only method I use, but it will not work properly with this ROM (which is perfectly fine as the zip works great and passes safetynet out of the box)!
This ROM doesnt have all the goodies I am used to, BUT its a VERY decent, and stable 11 ROM so I DO recommend users to at least try it if you are looking for a decent 11 ROM. Battery life for me is on par with 10 so I do not see any major show stoppers using this as a DD. I will run it for a few days and report anything found (if anything is found), otherwise, its great.

thank you very much for your assessment! I also find this rom to be very stable, snappy and the slight changes to the stock rom are very well thought out - next to perfect! big thanks to the dev krag0n!
I'm coming from an Android 9 Custom ROM and I wanted to switch to this, the instructions states that it should just be a simple flash. Should I still start from a clean reinstall of stock Android 11 or does flashing this come with that already?

fwiw, there is no evidence that Google has or plans to force hardware attestation on Pixel 2/XL. i monitor reports of these things over in the magisk threads, and as part of my own magisk module, and theres no suggestion it will happen to Pixel 2/XL, more likely it will happen with 4+ than the old Pixel 2/XL....
Ill probably change the fingerprint back to Pixel 2/XL and Android 11, personally i dont see the point of spoofing another device when the Pixel 2/XL is still officially supported...just my opinion, no offence meant

My Pixel 2 XL has been getting hardware attestation in all of my tests recently if the model name is set to "Pixel 2 XL". It's possible that I'm being A/B tested and most users don't have this problem, but either way, I haven't been able to pass SafetyNet without changing the model name because of it.
Either way, I've added hacks into the system in my ROM to avoid spoofing the model name while still defying hardware attestation and passing SafetyNet despite being on a mismatching security patch level. I agree, I don't want to change the model name just to pass SafetyNet, so I've been coming up with other solutions to avoid doing that.
Sorry for the ignorance, but I recently saw that the Lineage OS ROM for the Pixel 6 Pro has been officially released and I have some doubts.
I haven't installed ROMs for years (since the CYANOGEN MOD for the s7 edge) and then it was worth making the change.
But now, with the configuration that sells Stock ROMS for our mobile, would it be worth making the change? I remember that before when you installed the cyanogen, it lost camera quality, will it continue to happen? Another question I have is with the issue of payment via NFC, will there be any inconvenience at the same time as installing the bank's app and downloading the cards?
Thanks a lot for the answers!
I have lineage installed with safetynet-fix
I like it cause you can take an ota and not have plug the phone into PC, reroot etc. Camera is the same with google camera
It's a stable rom.

It's not officially supported but I've had it working on LineageOS (and 99% of custom ROMs) with the following (obviously you also have to hide Google Wallet in magiskhide or whatever your NFC payment is): https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...tion-x-7-6-1-02-22-2023.4546503/post-88225237
If you just want to flash LOS and not have root, you won't be able to use Google Pay or most apps that check safety net (banking apps, streaming apps, etc...)

Honestly, I wouldn't until after the P6P is no longer supported by Google. You may - not will - lose some Pixel-only features by installing a custom ROM, and of course losing Google Pay unless you root and install the Safetynet fix mod.

This and also trwp is still not available to make backups of the entire os. I am stuck on stock (which tbh im fine with since I have root and everything works fine). Wait till they officially discontinue the os for the phone.
I'm on stock A14 DP2 rooted. Some minor bugs, but nothing serous. One thing I very much miss from my previous phone is double tap to wake. Stock Google only allows single tap to wake, which is a deal breaker for me as there are too many unintentional wakeups that way.
I recently installed LOS 20 on my son's Oneplus 6, and double tap to wake is indeed present there. My question is, does that work for a P6/P6 Pro or would I be stuck with single tap or nothing?

That's a ROM function so you should have double tap capability if you install LineageOS.
Is there a difference between customization with lineage and stock? I've installed lineage on this phone before and i didn't see any customization options like cyanogenmod did on older devices. I noticed ricedroid and crdroid have customization settings for many things. So does lineage not have any customization or am I missing something here?
There is some customization, but it's low key compared to Cyanogenmod. Most customizations can be done with apps.
Picked up another 10 III for my dad. It came with Android 12 so I was wondering if I should keep it on 12, upgrade to 13, or downgrade to the last 11 (which I believe is 62.0.A.9.11)?
My own 10 III is on 11 and I've been extremely pleased with it but then again my dad is not a power user and won't care too much about the UI changes. And he's coming from Android 9 so whatever I install is going to be different anyway.
Are there any other glaring pros and cons to 12 or 13 that you guys have noticed?
Do they work fine with Magisk btw? I know 11 does. I don't necessarily want to root his phone but root seems the only reliable method of app backup and restore nowadays unfortunately.
I have already used Android 11, 12 and 13. In each case with the Linageos GSI and was very satisfied with all of them.
It has only turned out that the firmware version must match the Android version used and the original vbmeta should be patched and flashed because otherwise the build keys do not match and that can probably lead to problems.
Currently I use LOS 13 (GSI) in conjunction with MindTheGapps and Magisk-Delta and am very happy with the constellation.
That sounds very good. Are you passing safety net well enough to run Netflix, bank apps etc. with LOS?

Yes.
I use Magsik-Delta in Zygisk mode and hide the app with the Hide function.
Additionally, I use the MagiskHide function to hide Magisk from other applications.
I have also activated LSposed and installed HideMyApplist as a module there. There I created a blacklist with the apps that use root and applied it to the apps that should not see the root apps.
Applist Detector as well as Oprek Detector and Root Beer Sample do not find any residues of Magisk or signs of rooting.
With the Universal SafetyNet Fix (mod version by Displax), YASNAC then also shows me a "Pass" for Basic integrity and CTS profile match.
The PlayStore certifies that it is a certified device.
I use several banking apps and so far I haven't had one that didn't work.
By the way, I still use your UnifiedNlp enabler on the device.
