Netflix download for offline viewing not working in *some* ROMs - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a D855 using Cyanogenmod 14.1 Nightly. I have realized that the new function from Netflix to download videos for offline viewing does not work. Yesterday I decided to see if it worked on Fulmics 6.6 and it does work.
I have then decided to start this thread to confirm these findings and try to narrow down the problem a little bit. If you use Netflix can you see if a download button appear beside a video entries? Note that not all videos can be downloaded, but I am sure that the episodes of "The Crown" or "Strange Things" can. Just go the the list of episodes and see if a download button appears next to the play button. Then, post the result here together with you ROM name and version.
My main objective is to see if the problem happens in all AOSP ROMs, only in Nougat or something else. With this information it is easier to create a bug report.

Same behaviour
Hi, also can't download netflix videos on my lg g3 d855 using cm 14.1 A have also tested the lastest official resurrection remix (with is based on lineageos I think) and videos can not be downloaded.
Interestingly I have a tab 4 tablet (matissewifi) running an unofficial cm 14.1, also with root enabled, and videos can be downloaded, so the rooted factor can be discarded. I am clueless with this because this phone is supposed to be supported by Nexflix, and a friend with the same phone and the stock ROM can download videos.

The d855 mantainer, finnq, is aware of the problem and is going to solve it

Nexus 7 (2013) and Netflix

I have started to have problems with my Nexux 7 and the newest 6.x OTA update.
I cannot either stream or play the downloaded file. Streaming I get an error 0013.
I tried renaming/deleting the liboemcrypto.so file as suggested in anther thread here but I am running into some issues. First the file is no longer located in the /vendor/lib but now it it in the /system/lib folder
And when I try to rename and/or deleting (using ESS Explorer Pro), the file is back to its original name or location after a power off.
Any suggestions to rename the file?
Thanks
CM 14.1
Same problem here, but only with downloaded file.
The streaming problem was fixed by reverting back to an older Netflix APK, version 4.8.5 but that of course does not have the Download option. With the newer version of the APK I get a 102.2.6 error code. Looking at the Play Store comments it looks like quite a few people are having the same issue with streaming video.
Irefra, what version of the APK are you running?
Devices are rooted?
I see this problem on all the Nougat builds I have tried.
Either Netflix or Google Movies works and if Netflix works it won't download. Oddly it will download if it is broken, it just won't play the files.

The last version. Netflix 4.13.0 build 14540
Same problem
Same problem for me, with CM 14.1 (tried both unrooted and rooted device).
It seems that the video can lay until the quality starts to become better. I have the streaming quality set to AUTO; I also tried setting it to HIGH, and to LOW but the problem remains.
Using version 4.8.5 it seems that all is working fine.
Use 14.12.2

I called Netflix on January 25, 2017, and spoke with them about 4.13 not being able to mirrorcast.
They said it has been reported by several already.
I went back to 4.12.2 and downloads and mirrorcast work for me. Just cannot use external SDcard feature that was introduced in 4.13.
A bit different , but I use Plex, and 6.0.1 official OS and 7.1.1 lineage os both are working smoothly. It streams just nice.
Same her, stream works fine. But when i play downloaded files > Error 102.2.6. Any new solution or workaround?

Which rom & root app?
Has this problem been resolved? I am still needing to use Netflix 4.8.5 on Nougat Purenexus. Would like to go to current version of NFlx. Am using Magisk 14.2.
I tried the newest version 5.11.3 Build 25442, Streaming a movie you get error 5.2 and it stops. SUCKS!!!!

idem, you solved?
nope
If you want to run Netflix, you need to run an older version of NetFlix. The ROM developer for Pure Nexus created a signed version (I think avoids you receiving app updates). Here's a link to the download: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862715472 Thank the developer (his ROM and any other info is located here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7-2013/development/rom-pure-nexus-substratum-t3576447 ).

Yes, I had the same problem. Going to wait until the updates stabilize or if someone can help understand which Gapps to use.
Thanks
I was experiencing the same issue. Now I've installed an older version and its working fine.
Back to ground zero
It worked fine for a few hours. Now it's unusable again.
Here's some good alternatives that seems to be pretty stable for the LOS14.1/CM14.1 ROM's (though the Delta GApps are good, i would recommend the Dynamic GApps as the first alternative):

Hi gueys,
last week i installed Lineage 14.1 on my galaxy s 5, coming from the samsung firmware. After flashing the device always freezed after short time. In a forum I read, that the problem is at the current opengapps-Version. After flashing an older version of the gapps the problem seemed solved. But today the problem is back, i guess there was an Update for the Google Apps. Now I will test the mentioned alternatives.
I apologize to my English, it is my schoolglish and the school is already 20 years ago.
I tried Dynamic Gapps, it worked for about 20 mins; I was able to install apps and everything but then it started to freeze. The only one that hasn't frozen ever for me was: crDroid 7.1, but the disadvantages were that Mobile Data didn't work nor did the camera! Anyone else found a fix, I want to get a good ROM which is blazing fast!
Full dynamic gapps woked for me. Thanx a lot for this post. I was really starting to pull my hair out here!!
If you guys haven't figured it out yet. A Dalwik wipe will fix this issue!
Hi.
Definitely working nothing. I tried every variation which was posted in this an other topics.
After "Google Play Services" upgrade everything going bad, freeze, restart, etc., can't use the phone.
I tried to use "Gapps" before and after 2017.01.19.
If somebody have any useful solution please share with me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Finally I found on this webpage the "Official Galaxy S5 Duos Lineage OS 14.1 [klteduos] [7.1.2 Nougat]" lineageosdownloads.com/download-official-galaxy-s5-duos-lineage-os
I downloaded "lineage-14.1-20170503-nightly-klteduos-signed.zip" and with this rom working perfect every new "GAPPS" before and after update too.

That's great news you were able to get your klteduos booted. I've been trying since January to get a newer version that will even boot and have been unsuccessful as you've described.
Many of the images I've managed to download from the source you quote above seem to be completely hopeless in terms of doing virtually anything (such as getting beyond the boot screen).
Currently (early/mid July 2017) only the following images are available:
lineage-14.1-20170705-nightly-klteduos-signed.zip
lineage-14.1-20170621-nightly-klteduos-signed.zip
lineage-14.1-20170614-nightly-klteduos-signed.zip
lineage-14.1-20170607-nightly-klteduos-signed.zip
I've tried every single one of these and they all hang at boot time, requiring removal of the battery (god knows I won't be getting any newer Samsung mobiles as one cannot even "remove" the battery from the later models).
An online search for lineage-14.1-20170503-nightly-klteduos-signed.zip reveals several sites that once had the image, but none currently.
May I kindly entice you to upload the image you successfully booted somewhere online?
I've actually been trying to find an image that functions with both SIMs since December 2016, when the second SIM simply stopped connecting to the network (irrespective of which SIM slot they are in - yes, I did connect successfully when using the second SIM in another phone and I have been carrying around two phones since that time, AARGH!).
Non-stop headaches with these mobile devices nowadays...

4k recording on Resurrection Remix OS (official)? & what about firmware?

Hey community, what's up?
I'm curious if there is any option to enable 4k video recording? I activated camera2api and I'm using the google camera (the latest port a very kind developer has made). Everything works perfectly, except 4k video recording. The method described in this post only works for MIUI, in RR we neither have the folder, nor the corresponding file.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3774141
Long story short guys: if I switch from FHD to 4k, the camera stops working. Does it has to do anything with the firmware I'm currently using? I've tried several camera mods, but none of them worked. Can I enable it somewhere in my system files (like I did with camera2api?)?
Additional question: do I need to update/flash firmware updates in general? Does it provide any benefit? Someone provides the latest firmware but I have the strange feeling that flashing one of them can damage my device (however they are classified in china & global version --> no flashing of "wrong" firmware but it's still somehow scetchy...).
I know you are busy and it's pretty much to ask, so thank you very much for your answers! Best regards

Tested, works really well! Good job! Even the battery usage is great. It's smoother compared to 7.1.
As it's pointed out, Gapps breaks RIL. Everything else works except radio and offline charging. Installed Aurora Store and I'm pretty happy with it.
Things I tested:
☑ RIL
☑ Camera Front/Back
☑ Video Recording
☑ Bluetooth
☑ WiFi
☑ Sound
☑ GPS
☑ Calls
☒ Offline Charging, it loops.
☒ Radio, phone freezes.
@notfood
I can confirm your tests, but can you please test Videorecording with 1080p. For me the Video Quality (only with 1080p!) is low, becouse there are randomly White lines from the left to the right in the Video. (Like in all builds after 08/2018)

I see the white lines, they're sporadic but they're there only with 1080p.
HI
My findings so far: All things mentioned above are working for me as well, but with some exceptions:
GPS finds plenty of satelites, but doesn't snap in ( no position..).
Battery- charging freezes once, I had to reboot to go on.
In Whatsapp recorded video-sequences aren't playable ( frozen screen or artefacts..)
I couldn't find any menue to choose the touchscreen - triangles for moving the cursor in a text document.
I'm looking forward the next Version....:fingers-crossed:
Just tested this rom on my GT-I9301I for an hour or so and i have to say that auto-rotation doesn't work sometimes, also i don't know what exactly RIL is but i installed the gapps aroma (customized) and didn't realize any issue related to gapps until now, and also i got a new phone recently so the old phone doesn't have a sim card anymore, and i don't plan to put one on my GT-I9301I, so my old phone is somewhat like a test device now, i have tried some custom roms before but i didn't like them too much, this one doesn't look bad, except i wish you could do something about offline charging.
Error: this package is for device
Thank you for your contribution! I tried to flash it to my GT-I9301I with the help of TWRP 2.8.5.0 (I know its old, is there a better approach?). Before flashing i wiped everything, now when I try to install it from the sdcard it fails with the Error "E3004: This package is for device: s3ve3g, s3ve3gds, s3veg3gjv; this device is ." What am I doing wrong? Why is the installer not recognizing my device?

You have to use a newer Version of TWRP:

I know this is only for the single sim variant, but would this work on a duos without ril at least? I don't really need ril that much right now.

This is very cool ROM, better than Nougat!

If it gets stuck, you are probably running an outdated firmware. Get the latest from Sammobile or check the Telegram group. You will need Odin or Heimdall to install it. Be careful which firmware you are burning, it can brick your device if it's the wrong one.
For more than an hour it is stuck in the installation screen

Just bought my a new Evo 860 ssd so I have enough storage for building multiple devices . So yes more build coming this week for Sony and dual SIM.
My 300gb ssd before didn't quite had enough.
Hi Thargorsson,
First of all. Excellent work on the new ROM!
I have just got a hold of 5x S3 NEO and wished they had a newer version than 4.4.2.
After some searches on Google I found this forum. I'm going to wait until you have an updated version of this ROM.
Please keep us all posted on any progress
Cheers,
Steve

LineageOS (18.1) colors becoming corrupted too often to be usable. Any permanent fix besides ditching LineageOS?

So this is a problem it seems everyone encounters. If there is a fix posted here I've missed it. The colors become corrupted so often it's unusable IMO. I usually have to reboot. So I'm rebooting all the time. I really need to find a way to fix this or I have to go back to stock.
Maybe this is why Lineage 17 is stickied. I need to read that now. Thank you.
Edit: It is fixed in builds past 20210627
I have just flashed the latest build "lineage-18.1-20210829-nightly-channel-signed" and am still getting the same problem. Any ideas on how to fix please?
Well the problem continues and seems to have gotten worse.
After some months, I've updated to lineage-18.1-20210912. The problem is still there and seems worse, happening more often randomly. Only solution is as before switch from natural to saturated (vice versa) untill your frustrated.
As this is my mums phone, can't ask her to keep doing that. May have to return to stock which I dont really want.
Tbh, I'd be frustrated too.
I'm surprised theres no LOS 18.1 thread in rom section.
I'm also curious about the other roms based on 17.1/18.1, are they having the same problem?
It appears to be lineage at fault as whilst experimenting I have successfully flashed BlissRoms, ArrowOS and my favourite Resurrection Remix and all are fine. I have stuck with Resurrection Remix with no problems to date. I have not flashed it with GAPPS but can run a few things like outlook, dropbox and other by downloading apks from APKMirror.

Try this:
System - Buttons
( long-press all buttons, to see menu)
Back long press action-Kill foreground app
Home long press action-Kill foreground app
Recent long press action-Kill foreground app.
I did this 3 hrs ago, still working.
Good luck.
Update: Last night I reinstalled Majisk and Root Checker,and suddenly this morning, my screen was flickering, with psychedelic colors again
I instantly removed both, and da da, the colors were beautiful again???
Just saying.... we'll see what happens.
I no longer have Root, but the colors are beautiful.
Used to have this problem but haven't seen it in weeks. I'm guessing if you poke around in the settings you can find some fix

how about the performance in games with resurrection or do you recommend another rom?
Same thing here. I flashed 3 phones g7 Play that I did choose because they are in the list of supported phones in the Lineage OS list. All three have the same issue. Apparently, switching battery save mode on and off an then locking/unlocking the screen very reliably triggers the problem. But it will appear also spontaneously after a short while.
Tried a lot of different settings.all eventually failed.
I found a zip named LiveDisplay,that seems to help. Flashed mine through FKM, Franco Kernel Manager.
Exact name is "g7_power_livedisplay_fix.zip".

Please give me a download link. Search in the browser unfortunately did not return results. Found only for Moto G5S
I used Franco Kernel Manager to download the zip. If you are rooted, just install Franco Kernel Manager and look for "g7_power_livedisplay_fix.zip.
I recently installed Pixel Experience, but I am considering going back to Lineages now that 19 is available for Moto G7 Power.
Good luck.
I think Lineage OS 19 has corrected the Display issue, perhaps you should also just consider updating . Just a thought.
