The Dilemma: Apps wont function on Rooted device, running the application on non-Vodafone firmware won’t work, can’t install Xposed on stock Vodafone firmware.
After about a week of tinkering around I've managed to get this working on my rooted device with custom kernel and xposed installed.
The biggest issue is that there really isn’t really any concise information on the subject so everything was pretty much experimental for me.
Initially I tried using Phoenix S5 Touchwiz Rom, which is built from the latest Samsung firmware for S5, this didn’t work as the SmartPass application kept prompting me to update to the latest firmware although I already was on the latest version available to Vodafone S5's, conclusion is that it’s because it was built from the unbranded FW and not VOD FW.
Things you need:
- Vodafone Branded (SmartPass supported) Phone Apparently (I actually doubt that branding matters because Vodafone don’t supply branded Samsung’s, I believe it’s just the VOD FW that counts)
- Vodafone NFC Enabled SIMcard (You can swap for one in store - It has a little nfc logo on the simcard and its basically a sim that allows the storage of your smartpass credit card details and is used to authenticate the transactions using in-built NFC)
- Be on Vodafone's new billing system (I believe that everybody is now but you can confirm over the phone with Vodafone)
- Latest Stock Vodafone Firmware (I used G900FXXU1BOE2_G900FVFR1BOE2_VOD from Sammobile)
- Latest Odin
- Latest Custom Recovery Odin flashable (I used TWRP)
- Latest SU Binary flashable ZIP
- Selinux Permissive kernel Flashable Zip (I used Boeffla-Kernel for Samsung Stock Android 5.0 Lollipop for G900F)
- Latest Xposed flashable zip for arm7
- Android SDK for ADB
- Samsung usb drivers for S5
- JoelDroid Lollipop Batch Deodexer V 2.4 (2.4 is very important, it doesn’t seem to work on 2.5 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/and.../script-app-joeldroid-lollipop-batch-t2980857)
- This Guide for DeOdexing your rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-deodex-lollipop-rom-t3065596
Unfortunately I'm a very busy guy so I can’t make this guide too comprehensive, it should be easy enough to understand but I recommend not attempting it if you are really unsure of anything.
Please Note that I offer no guarantees and you follow this at your own risk!!!
The Steps:
Official Bit...
1) Use Odin to flash the Stock VOD Firmware you downloaded
2) Boot up and install all the updates and download the Vodafone SmartPass and Wallet Apps
3) Follow the in-app instructions to configure the wallet and smartpass, it should detect your NFC secured simcard and automatically configure. You may need to sign up if you have not already.
4) Ensure you have SmartPass and Wallet working and test it at a pay terminal - if you have any issues during setup you should call the SmartPass team using the phone number in the app.
If your payment gets declined phone the SmartPass team to make sure your NFC chip is activated on the wallet.
5) If you wish to use it on the London Underground or busses you have to login to your Oyster Account online and add the Smartpass virtual card details to your Oyster account as a contactless card, otherwise it’s not authorised and you will get a Red-Light
On to rooting... [Knox will be tripped here]
6) Flash Custom Recovery using Odin
7) Run a Nandroid Backup
8) Flash your permissive kernel in recovery
9) Flash your su binary in recovery
10) Boot device (DONT open Vodafone apps from this point)
11) Enable USB Debugging in developer options and follow the guide listed above for DeOdexing your rom (Remember to only use v2.4)
12) Transfer the flashable ZIP of your deodexed apps you made over to your device
13) Reboot into recovery and flash the Deodexed apps ZIP file then clear Dalvik and cache
14) Perform 1 Boot up - May take a long time to boot
15) Another Backup if you wish might be good at this point
16) Reboot into Recovery and flash Xposed
17) Boot up and install both Xprivacy & Rootcloak Lollipop versions (you may need to enable test versions in settings before you will see them in the download list)
18) Enable both modules and reboot to activate them
19) Add Vodafone SmartPass & Wallet to the Rootcloak list
20) In Xprivacy you need to be very specific with what you deny - See below for details
Xprivacy Configuration
SmartPass App under Shell you must deny only 'exec' & 'su'
Wallet App under Shell you must deny only 'su'
21) Launch the smartpass app and check that it still opens up correctly, displays the NFC symbol and allows you to open the wallet and displays the balance and transaction history.
22) That’s it!
If you get any errors or warnings in the app or if you can’t open the wallet portion, then make sure your xprivacy settings are exactly correct as per above and then delete data for both SmartPass and Wallet apps or even reinstall them as you probably opened them before you finished the process.
Also enjoy your Rooted, Deodexed, Selinux Permissive Stock Vodafone Rom.
I hope this helps anyone experiencing issue with these apps as it was a proper ball ache for me.
I want to install simalliance lib to use MTN nfc wallet
Is there any way to add this lib to lineageos?

I think stick mount works. I haven't actually tried it myself but it should work. It requires ROOT access by the way.

To have OTG on the settings you have to add the following line in the build.prop file:
HTML:
ro.config.hw_otgFeature=true
See all proceess described on the pics enclosed
So far I didnt do any kind of test to check if OTG it is working, and I'm not thinking to do it, because according @XePeleato this feature wont work in our devices. Why he is giving 50$ to who can activate OTG?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70717378&postcount=231
You can also get to that OTG feature with Quick shortcut maker from GP without having root. But enabling it doesn't affect anything. Even with external source of power. That means: NO OTG FOR P8 LITE!
So, I needed to use my old phone again because my new one went back to the shop for repairs. I spent hours trying to get the LG Optimus 2X to work again. In the current year (tm) there are multiple problems:
Nvidia's Tegra 2 chip, which powers the LG Optimus 2X (P990) smartphone doesn't support NEON code (per Wikipedia: "Tegra 2's Cortex A9 implementation does not include ARM's SIMD extension, NEON.")
During 2017, Google added NEON code to Google Play Services - a background process which is automatically updated when the Google Play Store is active. There are hundreds of complaints about this in the Google Product Forums: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/play/uX3Xqk2gi_k and going by that thread, https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-11-0-38-release/ is the last good version.
I don't know why, but somehow this is related to massive lag when using Optimus 2X roms like the LG stock ICS rom, and custom roms like TonyP's: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2769730 (I tried both kernels). Also the AOSP keyboard started malfunctioning (closing repeatedly when typing).
According to TonyP there is no (theoretical?) reason why NEON code should cause lag (only crashes), see bulletpoint 4 at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57920187&postcount=21 - but in practice it does.
Maybe it's related to the fact that Google Play Services now uses 121 MB as opposed to the 4,26 MB of the NEON-less version?
LG Mobile Support servers are down. This means that going back to stock and getting stock LG basebands and firmware is now much harder than it needs to be.
Because this phone is so old, a lot of links in this XDA Developers forum are dead. This includes all links to Gooserver, TonyP's server etc. This is why I will include a mirror for everything.
So after multiple hours of trial and error, here's what worked for me to get basic functionality without lag from this phone again.
Prerequisites:
1. You probably already have them installed, but install the latest LG USB drivers for the phone: https://www.lg.com/uk/support/support-mobile/lg-LGP990
2. Make sure you are on the V30A baseband (that is the latest version for Europe). You are probably on this baseband, but if not you can get it at http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/lg-op...al-firmware-der-provider-t207099/#post1469732 (the thread in XDA Developers forums only has dead links) (you only need LGP990AT-00-V30a-EUR-XXX-NOV-30-2012+0_CP.fls, which I've uploaded for you at Mega.nz). You can flash it using the instructions at step 5 below, using option 7 in the AIO-Toolkit.
Step 1: Get the last Cyanogenmod nightly (filename: cm-10.1-20140216-NIGHTLY-p990.zip) from the Archive.org torrent: https://archive.org/details/cmarchive_nighlies
Mirror: Direct magnet link / Mirror 2: Mega.nz.
Please be aware that Cyanogenmod uses the "old partition loadout" / "old bootloader". This will be relevant later.
Step 2: Get the Non-neon Gapps for Android 4.2 by TonyP, the version that changes the keyboard to a non-neon version, by Luk_Optimus (filename: gapps-jb-20130427-nonneon-tonyp-keyboard.zip). You can download it at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42567546&postcount=15 . Mirror: Mega.nz
Step 3: Get the at All-In-One ToolKit v6.0 at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737 . Mirror: Mega.nz
Step 4: Reboot Windows 10 using the startup option "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement", I used method 2 from https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-access-advanced-startup-options-in-windows-10-or-8-2626229 to show the Advanced Startup Options.
Step 5: Open AIO-Toolkit using the desktop shortcut, and after installing the NVFlash Recovery Drivers (option i), type in option 4 ( 4 - Repartition your device with preferred layout and bootloader ). Follow the instructions. Pick the options for the Old Bootloader and TWRP 2.6.0.0. instead of Clockworkmod. Allow AIO-Toolkit to fix the partition layout (it will ask you if you want to do this at the end).
Step 6: Boot to TWRP recovery. Insert the SDHC card containing Cyanogenmod and Non-Neon Gapps. Use the Install button. Flash both the Cyanogenmod and the Non-Neon Gapps you downloaded above.
Step 7: Boot the LG Optimus 2X. Enjoy. Don't forget to dismiss all dialogs asking you to "upgrade" your version of Google Play Services. For example when installing Whatsapp.
Remaining issues:
EDIT: Google Play Store will still sometimes try to update Google Play Services to version 12.8.74 without your consent. In that case, go to Settings -> Apps -> Downloaded and use the "Remove Updates" button on both Google Play Store and Google Play Services. This will return you to the working Non-Neon Gapps version you installed above.
WhatsApp requires Google Play Services to restore backups. Other applications will just not work: for example, MediaMonkey requires Google Play Services 12.4.51 or later, Tapatalk requires it too. Also, some apps are not compatible with non-Neon devices in their latest versions. I've noticed Firefox, Opera Mini (and its beta), Chrome (and its beta) don't work. So I'm still looking for a better browser than the built-in one.
Note: Sometimes the dev has published a Lite version that has less system requirements. For example: use Messenger Lite instead of Facebook Messenger. Messenger Lite, however, crashed when I tested voice calls. Whatsapp didn't, but the other party couldn't hear me.
Seems like some certificates / trusted Certificate Authorities may be missing, causing network errors when using the browser to visit HTTPS websites? All my other devices work fine on my WLAN.
If anyone needs additional instructions, please leave a reply If you have anything to add, also leave a reply!
Hi, as you know Camera Controller app which lets you manage Camera app through Galaxy Watch/Active 2/Active is only available on Samsung Galaxy S10 series/ Note 10 series and now recently supported S20 series in update.
You cant install camera controller app in your Note 9 or older devices due to samsung restrictions.
Instructions:
1. You need Xposed on your Note 9 , i have Note 9 exynos international version with android 10 OS, i am using edxposed sandhook.
2. Install the app Device ID Masker Lite from https://repo.xposed.info/module/zone.bytesreverser.xposeddeviceidmaskerlite and enable module and reboot.
3. Now goto Model field and write "SM-N975F" ( we are spoofing to Note 10+) and click apply and now reboot the device. ( if you using device id masker pro/unlocker you can click Select Apps option and click Select all and save) REBOOT.
4. Now in Galaxy store you should see the Camera app update available, update it should be atleast v10.0.02.9 http://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.sec.android.app.camera this link will show app unavailable if you login in note 9 or s9 model no. Means without spoof.
NOTE : just in case i have attached the Camera v10.0.02.9 also , remember it is zipped and needs to be unzipped to get apk file.
5. Now after update goto this link http://apps.samsung.com/gear/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.cameracontroller and install camera controller in your watch/active 2/active, which was not available to your device before.
6. Once done, you can switch back to your old real model of your device, goto device id masker and click apply in MODEL field when it is empty and done. REBOOT.
Can this be achieved without root?
Can someone just get the APK file so we can manually install it

What kind of limitations do you refer for? I am using Magic ui 5 with google service almost perfect without any restrictions.
I don't get the ui 6 yet, but if you got struck because G app logo (the google assistance), you only need to reinstall old backup app before you restore it.

It should have worked on old version of backup like Huawei. Be sure you have a change of date before restore (it is important step! )
The version of mine that worked is com.hihonor.koBackup-11.5.1.348-230501348.apk
If it is still not work out, It might be Honor phone updates to android 12 incompatible with the assistance app, you may downgrade to install it.

I think it is not compatible with Android 12. HONOR suite doesn't allow to downgrade either. I tried to restore with 10, 11 version of backup apk including restoration from Honor suite too

Have you also tried to uninstall and install backup.apk from adb as well? If so, I also out of ideas to make it work if could not downgrade it.

I found a guide video that make sense for you as it skipped the google assistance app backup step completely from chinese guy who also using Honor phone to do it.
Here is the link: youtu.be/pSTk1wRe4EA (useless)

The thing with this and most of other method without G installation is, it doesn't retain the Google account after uninstalling MicroG, i can't see any google account even after adding via MicroG

You can share screenshot of G app error for future solution. You need to until stable release to see if there any methods shared that work on Magic UI 6.

yeah, i am waiting for some solution or installation method for GMS on Magic UI 6. Let's see if someone is coming up on this.
I am using previous method to install GMS. my only problem is I can't update GMS because its is a system app now, P50 doesnt have this problem. IS there any other workaround for those system apps thing. P50 works fine with no errors or notification and all Google files are uptodate. Honor Magic3 Pro freeze when google wants to update gms when installing gboard.

To clearify, the previous method is just extended and also needless for Honor magic 3 pro where it only need to clear data on Framework to fix the error.
First of all, to update google services, you should go to play store and turn off app auto-update from the settings first.
The steps to update or uninstall are here:
-update using unsupported version for Google services (android 11 version any packages)
-reboot, You will see uninstall button
-Install any packages you want
The files are attached below! the second packages is 20.30.65 that is work great, you can try other version on android 10 for GMS to work.

As you mention, P50 is based on Android 10, and Magic 3 pro is on Android 11.
You can try to update the Google Services Framework from 10 to 11 to make it work flawelessly, still, some limitation on Map and push.
The procedures are the same as updating Google Play Services.
Thank you. Very clear.
The method i used was to insert GSF to google account, which allowed me to update smoothly on P50.
hi,
I tried on my Honor Magic 3 Pro Plus (Ultimate) but I can't uninstall the Google Services Framework. My phone can't fix the Google Play Services error message: this device isn't Play Protect certified
