How to play Fortnite on A Rooted Device!

Here's how you can play Fortnite with Root
Apparently, Fortnite that launched asking with the Note 9 on Android, doesn't seem to work if your device is rooted.
It Says that Fortnite can't run on a rooted device​So here I'm sharing with all of you a easy way to get Fortnite Up and Running in your Rooted Galaxy Smartphone!
UPDATE(10/8/2018)- Player gets kicked out when trying to jump out of the bus. Needs more research. Don't worry. Ill soon find a Fix!?
UPDATE(11/8/2018)- This is the most probable fix for the bus issue. Use Magisk Core Mode and hide magisk Managwr itself. Reboot it then.(Note-You'll have to re install the whole Fortnite game, because once it detects root,ut remember it. Maybe Clearing cache can work. Not confirmed)
UPDATED V2 STEPS-
1.Unroot your Phone then Install it and play a
round or so.
2.Then install magisk manager.apK
3.install magisk rOOt
4.Open magisk manager check the 2 Boxes and
reinstall it
5.Reboot
6.Open Magisk Manager
7.Magisk Hide Fortnite + the installer
8.Hide Magisk Manager in the App Settings
9.Use Magisk Core
Huge thanks to ENRICO for solving this problem!
STEPS
1. Go to Epicgames Official Website And Download the Apk for Fortnite for Android(Don't install Yet!)
2. Go to Magisk Manager and navigate to Magisk Hide and enable it For Fortnite and Fortnite Installer!
3.Disable Usb debugging from Dev Settings
4. Now go ahead and install the installer then Download the Data/OBB etc.
5.Get ready to Play Fortnite on Your Rooted Device!
NOTE:
Some people had tried to use Magisk Hide to play Fortnite but it didn't work. Thats because they Used Magisk Hide after downloading the Data and installing The Fortnite App.
If you do it before,Fortnite will not Detect Root!
Cheers!

How can you hide the app in magisk if you dont have the app installed?

You can't hide it before installing and your YouTube video does not show what happens after jumping from the bus. Seems like a BS post to me!

Well I didn't have the time to go that far into the game. Just tried to fix the Error that was because of Root access and Trued the game for like maybe 5 mins.
Someone maybe can fix even this bus problem now that we are in the game.

falso no funciona

the issue pops up after jumping from the bus, ensure you do not use your default account when trying to find a fix as it may get banned.

Hey I think I found the fix. Read the updated #1 post!

Nope not working. Still get kicked after the bus jump

They are seemly checking for unlock boot loader, safety net,root and developer mode so basically overkill and really hard to trick

I just found a thread, where the solution to the problem is :
Open Magisk SuperSu, and uninstall all the apps you see there. Looks like fortnite is also searching for other root apps.

YouTube Vanced Magisk not show up

Greetings,
I installed YouTube Vanced through Magisk. The installation is successful and I can see it in module, but YouTube icon won't show up.
Any idea?
Should I try flashing with TWRP?
Update: it seems it's due to it's disabled. Once I enable it, it shows up. I disabled the stock YouTube before flashing Vanced.

Did you before disable youtube app before flashing?

you need to clear the actual youtube app's data and reenable it and also turn off auto update in playstore.

This didn't quite solve the issue for me. I had updated YouTube from the Google Play Store and it overwrote YouTube Vanced. I kept reflashing YouTube Vanced with Magisk, but the original app remained. So I turned off YouTube's auto-update in the Google Play Store, cleared YouTube's data, deleted the YouTube Vanced module in Magisk, rebooted, reflashed the YouTube Vanced module in Magisk, and rebooted one more time. The original YouTube app remained.
So I retried this process one more time, this time disabling the YouTube app first, and it worked after that. I had to disable YouTube and reflash it with Magisk.
Thanks for the instructions!

Answer
Simply if u disable YouTube application then re enable it and go to play store don't press on Update Tap on Open Then everything goes back to normal
No need to Clare data or Again install Module...

Not sure what your problems with the official Netflix app are, but it works just fine on my P20.
I mean absolutely no offense in saying this, nor am I trying to imply anything, but I am not installing a random APK to my device posted by a junior user with only 19 posts (of which only 5 posts have occurred in the last 2 years) and 2 thanks.
I always appreciate unique solutions to problems and from members of XDA, thanks for that, but I'll hold off until I understand the issue and fix.

I'll maybe try by installing through Play Store with a VPN because it's maybe my country (France) where it is blocked

if you fail on safetynet or cts profile, you won't be able to see Netflix or Pokémon go or similar apps. make sure you use magisk and check the safetynet. or wipe data of play store. also make sure that your device is certificated on play store settings.

Even after I checked everything, Netflix is still unavailable ...

Even that unrestricted Netflix app here shows this strange Netflix error 15001 for me. Has anybody an idea how to fix this. I have tried all the tips with cache partition, apps cache, play services, play store, netflix reinstall. Phone has locked bootloader, no root, Safenet is fine, Play Protect device is certified, widevine CDM L1, all other apps incl. banking, video/music streaming just work fine except downloading movies from google play movies.

Question Cannot Delete System Apps With Root

Cannot delete system apps while rooted and on 11.2.2.2LE15BA.
Tried with TB, LP, and Mixplorer which all show Superuser access in Magisk.
The message I get is "Failed to locate the apk file" in TB, LP can't do it, and Mixplorer says it can't delete.
Anyone have an idea? TIA!!

Yeah it's a known issue, system is RO. You can delete via adb. I use an adb tool on the computer, very easy and it saves the deleted apps in case you want reinstall them. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...app-manager-debloat-tool-for-android.4147837/

or use the magisk module "debloater" if you're rooted

That is a very good option and the one I have used in the past. But trying to modify the list of apps to debloat for me is time consuming, much prefer to see the apps listed on a "big" screen and simply choose what to uninstall or disable. But hey, to each their own.

Thanks for sharing this seemingly great tool. Trying to remove YouTube so I can install the Vanced version without ads and promo skipping. It cannot install over the current YouTube because the Vanced version is lower than the version of YouTube the phone came with (so can't click on uninstall all updates to revert to a version earlier than Vanced current version ).

I used "Debloater" tool (installed from magisk repo) to remove YouTube, reboot, then install Vanced. This used to be my normal process before Vanced Manager anyway, and it has always worked reliably. It requires root, but doesn't require a computer like the adb method.
I also like that I can maintain a text file of things I want to debloat after each OTA and not have to do each one separately in the future. I'm a little hesitant to do a lot of experimental debloating until we have twrp though, so right now YT and YT Music are all that's on my list.

After removing YouTube completely, Vanced still gives me an error that it cannot install due to a newer version on the device so I just ended up installing with settings changed to nonroot. The problem I had before doing it this way however was that YouTube links in a google search result would only open with the YouTube app from the play store and not the separate Vanced YouTube and if I tried it, it would take me to the play store to install YouTube. I hope I don't run into this same issue.

Last time I installed the nonroot way I also had that issue. You should be able to fix it by going to Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Opening Links and changing the settings for Vanced YouTube.

I'm not positive, but I think I've tried that when initially setting up Vanced way back on my OP7 Pro. Cannot confirm though. Did this method fix it for you for sure?

I just tested and it seems to work fine. I don't have regular YouTube installed currently, but links open fine in Vanced YT.

Using termux on rooted 1+9P
In termux enter su and grant Magisk if not done already.
Then do: pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.youtube
Voila, official youtube is gone

Anyone tried to debloat also "file" app just to keep OnePlus app as default system file manager?

Question Unable to install Netflix after rooting

So, I managed to root this beauty 1+9 Pro relatively easily.
I got Magisk installed, and hid all the Apps that needed hiding.
Even Google Pay works.
But I can't for my sanity figure out why Netflix or Android OS 11 is refusing to let me install Netflix.
Everytime I try to install the Netflix App latest APK, extracted from my old working phone ( Razer Phone 2 also rooted), it will just give me the error message " Sorry No Application Available "
Does anyone have a clue what can be done to make Netflix install in a rooted 1+9 Pro ?
Thanks.
BTW i tried several Netflix App version already.
Also I do know the APK works because I used it to install on another Tablet that will not show up Netflix on Google store.

Is Netflix currently installed as a system app? I wasn't able to uninstall that or get it working, so when I was on 11.2.2.2 I managed to fix it by installing a *newer* version of the Netflix apk that I grabbed from apkpure.com, over top of the system app. Then I had the same issue again on 11.2.4.4, and that method didn't work anymore. However, that time it let me uninstall updates to the app and then update in the play store.

I dont know how exactly, but Netflix still detects the rooted device and denies the install from google play, I think based in the unocked boot loader not sure.
I managed to install from apkmirror and is working fine now.
there is a catch though.
They are moving away from simple apk install and using apk bundles, like some sort of tarball with several apks in it, so you will need this apkm installer app for it to install the newer version. to get this installer working you need to disabled MIUI optimizations from dev options. thats all, I got mine working this passed saturday that way
EDIT: never mind with that MIUI option i thought this was a diffirent model, none the less the apkmirror is still worth a shot

I some how managed to force install it via Titanium Backup, but then it gives me another error when I try to run Netflix App.
" This device is not supported by the app "
it's running the latest version Netflix v7.102.0 build 12 35461

You have to install Magisk Canary, once you do so reboot the phone. Wipe Google play stores data and cache.. magisk hide Netflix and the Google Play Services reboot once more. That's how I got mine to work.

Install: liboemcrypto disabler
from Magisk, reboot ....enjoy

I did this and had the same problem while unrooted, so it turned out to be a waste of time. It seems to have an issue with the unlocked bootloader, not just root. At least with root you can hide unlocked status, which is a step in the right direction. Hide root from Netflix, and also hide magisk app itself in magisk settings.
If you're trying to install Netflix over the system app, make sure to first uninstall updates to the system app so it's the oldest possible version. Then make sure whatever version you're installing on top (whether from play store or APK download) is newer than your installed version. Older versions will not install over newer ones.

There are sai versions floating around here that work search xda also make sure you magisk hide Netflix before you open it initially. Or hide them clear cache and data on netflix

Update.
Minor good news.
I wiped the phone from recovery mode.
So, the phone is kind of factory mode, I completed the "new" phone setup thing, and the first thing I went to try was Netflix and it worked.
So... it appears to be something to do with Root and/or Magisk being detected.

Update 2
More good news, I rooted it again, installed Magisk and Netflix is still working.
Not sure why it wasn't working before, also not quite sure what was the actual fix.
I don't really consider a full system wipe a "fix" but well that did it for me.

So, I just imported Apps and Data from the old phone again via Google "setup my device" transfer, and now Netflix got disabled again.
I'll try again and skip Google transfer to find out if that helps.
I can always use One+ Switch App to see if that is better.

OnePlus switch will still result in the same issue. Clear data and cache,install the app link I provided and make sure magiskhide is set to on.

Seems like it worked,
I installed a full APK from my old phone and now it's able to run.
However it still doesn't show up in Google Play store when I search for Netflix.
