Netflix app not compatible in Play store because of unlocked bootloader? - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

Hi, this was not an issue on my Moto G5+ (android 7 which was rooted)
Is it new in 8.1 that some apps won't be compatible if you have unlocked bootloader?

I unlocked+rooted my device last night, and Just checked and my Netflix is working fine...

[Q] Root / "SuperSu" app and the Play Store

Hello!
I'm the happy owner of a new Nexus 6 (using NEXUS for the first time).
I've just rooted my device using my Mac. Wow, it worked perfectly. But I have one doubt (only!).
The root process installed "SuperSU" in my Nexus 6. OK. However, I can find this app in the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu. It was updated in March.
The Play Store does NOT recognize it as an installed app in my device—probably because it was not installed via Play Store. Now I'm worried. How will I get UPDATES to this app? Should I install it VIA PLAY STORE? How? Should I uninstall it before and then re-install it via Play Store? I'm affraid of doing something wrong and loose root. Maybe it will override the app if I install it via Play Store? I'm totally lost.
Thank you!

Yes, you need to install the app in order to have super user access. The process you chose to use to root your device, simply installed the binaries needed for the app to work the way it was intended. Install the app, open it and follow the prompts.
Thank you very much for taking your time to answer to me.

can't use google play store downloaded from huawei store. Please help.

Ok trying to install Google play store on my p9, Chinese version. But I can't open the play store after it's downloaded from huawei store. It just flashes then gone. Tried to give it full permission , uninstalled and restarted the phone a few times, but still the same problem. In huawei store, it says play store needs to be installed as system app, but I can't seem to figure out how to do so. Please help. Thx.

This is what shows after I open Gmail app. I don't understand, google play services is in my app list and appear to be running. I'm going to do a factory reset on my phone and start over the process.

Playstation remote play apk

Recently Sony has update all firmware and apps. Using the old apk for remote play no longer works. If there are any Sony Xperia users who are able to download the most recent remote play app for ps4 it would be very much appreciated if you could save the APK as a file and post it up for download. Thank you with any help.

I'm not sure how it worked before (I've just got the phone few days ago), but I have downloaded the Remote Play app straight from Google Play. Be aware that if you have installed an external apk you should not get prompted (nor allowed) to update it from Google Play. You must uninstall it first.
Oh, and a little hint: if you synched the phone with one that was rooted most likely you will have the SuperSU app installed. With that you'll get an 800 error. Simply uninstall it, since it is also useless at the moment (unless you unlocked the bootloader, but at that point I don't know how it works).

Instagram not installing on Honor play

Good morning I have an Honor Play and when I get in to the play store to install Instagram it says that my device isn't compatible with that version. How can that be possible? I have tried installing it from apkmirror and it doesn't allow me to install it either . What can I do? Thanks for your help.
Instagram is working fine on my phone.

Working fine on mine too.
Try restarting the phone.
The day I bought the phone, and downloaded PUBG, its downloading went into loop, it completed and then started again and again. I cancelled the download and next day, when I tried to install it, it installed normally. I think this is a bug may be in play store or something else.

can't install netflix after root

Even though my devices passed safety net,i can't find the netflix app on the play store. So i tried to download the official netflix apk,but when i try to run the app it says "Your device is not supported". The weird thing is i have used netflix on the same device,even after root. Any suggestions?
I have the same problem with my Mi Max 3 and Mi A1.
I downloaded an old apk from Apkmirror, that one works.

Finally I ended up to run Netflix on Havoc 2.7
Actually, it appeared that the APK version from the official Netflix website is an old one.
I donwloaded the one from APKpure and it worked immediately.
https://apkpure.com/fr/netflix/com.netflix.mediaclient
No need to patch the apk !
I feel a little dumb not having tried another version before
Anyway, thanks !
