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.
Hi!
Are there any Samsung S9+ Custom roms out there that are fully working with Bank ID, netflix, Dual Sim, Pokemon Go, and Citric Workspace out there?
Ive tried a lot now but all of them have deal breaking problems.
Resurrection ROM: Bank ID freezes and Vipps wont work. Magisk doesnt pass safetynet. PoGo fail.
PIE BETA roms, they have RMM removed!!! which I need for Citrix I guess...
Pixel experience: Bugs, and issues
LineageOS 15.1

Do you need a custom kernel in addition that doesn't report bootloader status to safetynet?

For me it did with snapchat,netflix,my local bank app.
i bought a razer phone and its the mail now. the seller told me that it was on the stock razor ROM. I plan on rooting it and installing TWRP but I was wondering if I should stay on the stock ROM or if was worth going to the trouble to install a custom ROM?
Aosp 8.1 or Stock + root are most stable and don't have broken features
Any pie gsi without root should work but might need a quick WiFi fix

thank you. would you suggest the aosp from this post? https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone/how-to/treble-install-generic-image-gsi-razer-t3770684
or what pie gsi would you suggest?
edit, update: this is a list of pie gsi's i found
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
I would agree with @SeriousFlash, any 8.1 GSI or Stock plus Magisk 17.1 is a good bet.
I had Pixel Experience 8.1 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/8-1-0-pixel-experience-t3796011) for a while, great looking ROM with nice features. I had some trouble with Bluetooth but that doesn't seem to be a common experience...
If you want Magisk, all the Pie ROMs will break in some way - no data. WiFi, Bluetooth etc.
Just one thing, I have never actually installed TWRP, just loaded it temporarily via fastboot. I do it this way just because of some of the bad luck stories I've read when folks have flashed it permanently. YMMV.
Peace.

I just got my razer phone not long ago as well.
So just to clarify... If I want data, wifi, Bluetooth etc to function as they should then I should temporally load TWRP and use 8.1 GSI (e.g. Lineage 15.1 from here) with Magisk as an option for root?

Yes.
Magisk breaks those things on Android 9/Pie. If you don't use Magisk then give them a go. There are versions of Pie which are already rooted without Magisk, check the threads to see.
Otherwise Magisk seems to work with 8.1 ROMs without issue :good:
Peace

https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble
ive been using my phone for a few days now and im still on the stock rom. has anyone tried xposed or maybe have a suggestion for magisk to get some more customizations like qs edit or advanced reboot?

Hi, folks. I have a redmi note 8t.
I would like to know if installing a custom rom from miui (EU, MIglobe...) keeps the NFC for payments . I have heard that you can't, that you have to do root and install a magistk module...I hope you can help me with this doubt, since I have unlocked the bootloader...thank you very much!
I have MiUiMix on Android 9 with preinstalled root. I just downloaded magisk manager app and enabled magisk hide. Payments in Poland works.
Lineage 17.1 with Magisk & MagiskHidePropsConf.
Google Pay works fine (france).
Edit: Also, Widevine still L1 so Netflix in HD, Banks app, Pokemon Go works, etc..

If I got you right, you're asking if unlocking bootloader doesn't allow using NFC. If I'm not mistaken, I could use NFC when I unlocked the phone, but I'm not exactly sure.
If you ask after installing a custom ROM NFC works, for that yes, you definitely need to install magisk. Don't be scared though, it's an easy process. Just flash a ROM, then finalize it (ie. start the mobile and setup the ROM). Once you're done with it, go back to twrp and flash magisk. Then install magisk manager (apk).
When in magisk manager both parts are green (that both are installed and working right), rename magisk manager (change it to something other than manager), let it download magisk manager again, and turn on magisk hide. Restart the phone, and in the menu you'll find from which apps manager should hide itself. Choose the banking apps and you're all ready to go.
I use the same mobile, and these are the steps I took. It's simple, straightforward and intuitive. Don't worry, you'll have NFC once you follow these simple steps.
Thank you so much for your answer... I'm sorry I didn't answer sooner, but I couldn't because of my job...
Now I have the EU stable (miui11) waiting for me to update to 12 .... recommend me another rom based on miui ? .... thanks again and a greeting!

First, you're most welcome!
Second, I didn't use any miui based ROM. Of those I tried, I fancied them in decreasing order as follows:
crDroid
LineageOS
Pixel Experience / Paranoid Android
In general, I can't say I'm dissatisfied with any. It's just minor stuff that put one over another, and all have been good in general. I use crDroid now simply because it allows more customizations - albeit I can't use front and aux cams. It's a singular issue though, as I don't read this from other users.
So I'd say try any, if you want. Because I use it now, I'd recommend crDroid but you'll find fans of all, and others that I didn't mention. It comes down to trial and error in the end.
NFC works with all four that I mentioned. In the beginning, when I first rooted and installed a custom ROM, my banking app warned me that I use a rooted phone and whatever, yet it's simple to fix. Don't worry about making NFC work, it really is easy. Step by step,
Install magisk from twrp
Install magisk manager
Rename magisk manager app
Open the app and let it install magisk again
Restart
Enable magisk hide
Restart
Then install your banking app and from magisk manager, add the banking app to hidden apps
And that's it. It seems a long process but takes five minutes.
Thank you very much for your comment my friend .....I have it in mind to install these roms ....greetings!
Hello, guys! I have a question for you; I hope you could help me out with this, I've been looking over the web and couldn't find anything.
First some background.
Right after I bought my POCO F3, I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the xiaomi.eu rom, I stayed there for months, but then I wanted to try some AOSP ROMs, so I flashed crDroid, it wasn't what I was looking for, so I switched to Pixel Experience, I was pretty happy with it but some banking apps didn't work even with Magisk and zygisk and all that stuff, so I tried to flash Pixel OS but their recovery didn't work for me, my last shot was Lineage OS, but it was similar to crDroid, long story short, I decided to go back to MIUI global.
I used the official MiFlash tool and flashed the latest release of MIUI global stable through fastboot.
My concern is the following, after flashing the original rom through fastboot with the option "clean_all" is the phone stays the same as before flashing all that stuff? If not, what should I do?
Somehow I feel like there is a huge mess in the internal memory and I just want to make sure that everything is formatted, cleaned and original, like it never had any custom rom installed before.
If you chose clean all it will be like Brandon new, take note if you leave the bootloader un locked it will not pass google play store of certification, how lame right ,they want you to lock the bootloader, that's why I chose Arrow

I didn't now that, I just installed safetynet test and it fails the CTS profile match
Can I just lock the bootloader again to go back to normal? I don't plan to keep messing around with custom roms again

Thanks bro, I'll do that
You don't need to lock the BL.
Get Magisk, enable Zygisk, and use the Magisk Module "SafetyNet Fix" from GitHub. The Module did the job for me.
Might also work on Pixel Experience. ^^
I'm currently just using Stock MIUI 13.

I already did that in pixel experience, but there was just one banking app that didn't want to work no matter what I try. I really wanted to stay in pixel experience but now that I'm back in MIUI 13 with poco launcher 4 it's not that bad either, at least I have Dolby Atmos, HDR and all that stuff.

Yeah because of Dolby Atmos and MIUI Camera I'm also staying on MIUI. ^^
BTW, just to really make sure, you used Magisk Module "SafetyNet Fix" on Pixel Experience, yes?
You can try deleting the folder "TWRP" if existent (some apps check for that folder, e.g. Mario Kart). You can also try hiding Magisk App (apps also check for that app).

if you want the goodies of MIUI but also to pass safetynet without issues i suggest you to try "xiaomi eu"
they are based on the chinese rom which is ahead in terms of features and bugfixes (specially the beta) and have some optimizations to make the experience better

Tried it.. it's oky... I like Google System Apps more. Call Recording Feature was nice. :v
But unfortunately, GSI's didn't work/boot with Xiaomi.eu (Generic System Images). I like to be able to use GSI's, to try out other new OSes from time to time, Dual Boot sorta. ^^
