EDIT: working now! I guess I've flashed the previous, rebuilt stable from November. They have the same version and the filename is almost the same and it's too long to see the entire name in TWRP. The updater app is not able to boot to TWRP and start flashing the downloaded OTA update,.so I had to point the file for it. This is prone to errors. But all is working now!!! DEVICE_INTEGRITY is there. GPay working in the terminal! Yay!
Yes, but it's super easy and quick comparing to a ROM update. Plus you don't wait for the nearest weekly or stable. And no root required! It's the best possible approach I can imagine. Maybe if the app updated itself (fingerprints definition) that would be just perfect!
Silly question but what is the Updater app you are using?
Mine neither, but I've learnt that updates are not user's best friends, unless it's the PIF update LOL
You can always go back to stock ROM and lock bootloader if updating a small app is too much.
Right now when opening the Updater app, I see that notification .. despite having already installed the latest apk, and I wasn't notified before. Well, it isn't bad but now the integrity fix is so small and practically perfect, I feel like these updates could be pushed seamlessly to end users (either auto-installed or at most a proper push notification which just requires the user to accept the installation)
No, I cannot. Of course I tried. Edited apk with my FP have different signature and can't be installed. Because in system already present another (xiaomi.eu) apk with conflicting signature. Even if you uninstall it with adb, the app still present in system and because of that you can easily reinstall it (cmd package install-existing) or upgrade it.
I tried that but play store was uncertified it was doing my head in so I'm back on this ROM (eu ROM so much better than stock) Munch play store certified now. Thanks Devs
Auto updates would pose a security risk, there's always a balance between usability and security.
Open Magisk, right on the center of your screen, there is an option "uninstall Magisk".
That's really all? It will vanish all the traces of the Magisk and it's super user module?
I don't have TWRP installed on my F5, I always use fastboot to update my phone. I think it's the only way.
Yes. Magisk will not modify the original boot.img file. Once you remove Magisk app, your phone will load the original boot.img which will become unrooted.
That will always be the case. You're not supposed to check with YASNAC anymore - it's obsolete because SafetyNet is deprecated.
