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.
I'm considering changing ROM to Chinese and want to know if someone from the "West" uses it regularly?
I don't think so, at least not without modifications to the original chinese rom. Not only the rom is chinese, you can't change region settings. And some apps refuse to run on chinese locale.
I'm using xiaomi.eu rom. It's based on the chinese version of miui but made for europeans.
You need to add Google Play Services and the chinese rom is only in Chinese and English.
I do, because I like the virtual SIM option. I also sideload Google Play Services and remove some bloatware. Works like a charm!
As Chinese, I don't recommend you to switch to chinese rom, There maybe many functions only used in China, your apps maybe innormal to work.

I haven't used Google Pay because in my country it's no use.
However, I have played around with it before and I got it to run. Did you pass both safetynet checks? If you do you should be able to make it work.

Honestly, I have been using it for over 6 months with minimal problems. I am also rooted, which allows me to remove bloatware or other functions that I really don't need.
The only problem I have encountered is the OneFootball app, when it updates throught the Mi Market it crashes on launch. But this can be fixed by disableing auto updates and just updating it through the google play store.
Battery life is also SO MUCH better on the Chinese Stable / Developer ROMs, but I still can't figure out why exactly, I suppose it has something to do with Google Play Services.

i've tried 14, 15, 16, google pay never works. I guess the main issue is from gapp.. but no idea how to find right gapp to use...
The way I installed is through a restore of a backup from Allbackup, the standard MIUI function. If you want I can upload it.
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!
Hey I have a question that really bothers me that I cannot use Google pay on my rooted poco f3 with stock Redmi K40 MIUI ROM.
I already hide all my google apps with Magisk hide and tried multiple times.
I also read something about changing my device fingerprint using `props` command in terminal but I failed to find Redmi K40 or Poco F3 on the list.
Is there anyone who can help me ? Thank you ^^
You can try the package "MagiskHide Props Config" from the built-in Magisk repos.
There is a lot which can be configured with that package, but there should be no need.
The documentation is (thankfully, for an Android project) quite extensive.
I already installed it and I don't actually know what to do other than change the device fingerprint from there, which I can't find poco f3 in the certified device list.
So my question is actually: Is there a device fingerprint of POCO F3 that I can directly replace on my ROM and use?
I'm not an expert for this topic, but are you sure all the Google Play apps (Play Store, Play Framework etc) are working correctly?
The only time I had a similar sounding issue was when I played around with microG and Nandroid.
I might look more deeply into it if i find the time.
What rom are you using? Im on rooted miui .eu 12.5.2 and all works as normal.

Can you pass safety net test? If not, try universal safetynet fix module by kdragon, it works for me. You should be able to use Google pay service if you pass safety net.

how did you root your china rom?
flash gpay sqlite fix
Have you checked both options for hiding Google pay? Also, have you hidden the magisk app itself by renaming it in the magisk settings?
Once you done those things, if they weren't done before, you may need to clear cache/data from Gpay in order for the app start a 'fresh' and not be 'aware' of root - but that's just a guess... i don't use Gpay, but i've just tried it on ArrowOS with root, all i did was hide magisk app itself and hide Google pay from root as per image

Hi there, I used theis method below and it works perfectly fine now. If something happens in the future e.g. when I use Google Pay in the store, I would mention it here

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

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. ^^
