[INFO] Apps not working on Pixel XL due to Nougat 7.1/Root/Partition + FIXES - Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion

I think most of us are coming from non-Nougat phones.
What has your experience been so far with apps working or not working on the Pixel XL.
I'll try to keep a list going if anyone thinks it's a good idea?
If so, let me know what app doesn't work and if it's related to root/dual-partition setup/Nougat or some other reason.
Then let me know when it finally does work and I'll update the list.
List of Apps not working on PIXEL XL
Due to Nougat 7.1, Root / Dual Partition or Other Reasons:
[*]Ad-Away ---(flash the developer build and enable systemless root in settings)
adidas Confirmed ----Does not work with root?
Amazon Underground ----(reported as "funky")
Ampere ----(works but does not correctly calculate 9V charging levels?)
Autostarts ----(app must be updated for root/Pixel's dual partition setup)
Black Mart Alpha
Busybox variants ----(fastboot workaround: "mount -o rw,remount /system_root")
Flashfire
Garmin Connect (for smartwatch)
Glide ?
iFont
Inspectorade ----(app must be updated for root/Pixel's dual partition setup, maybe??)
Navigon Select ----(?)
Navigon USA ----(works for me, doesn't work for some others?)
Ninebot
SElinux Changer ----(correct me if I'm wrong?)
[*]Secure Settings Pro ----(app must be updated for root/Pixel's dual partition setup) Here is the fix
[*]Snapchat ----(beta version is reported to be working if install prior to root)
Sony Play Memories
Sportacular
[*]Tunity (edit: 11/05/2016. Now working if you sign up for and install the beta version)
Wawa ----(app must be updated for root/Pixel's dual partition setup)
Wells Fargo ----(older & newest versions reported working)
USAA

Snapchat is still using the old permissions model *face palm*

Sony Play Memories (which lets me copy photos from my Sony camera by wireless to my phone) is not compatible with Nougat.

My ninebot app that goes with my mini-segway doesn't work with 7.1. It originally didn't work with 7.0 and they updated it about 2 weeks ago, but now that I have 7.1, it's broken again. I don't know what's so different between 7.1 and 7.0 that would break it.

Yep, Navigon doesn't work for me either. I don't use it often, but when I don't have good data (when I'm way out in the boonies), I rely on navigon to get me around.

Mine doesn't look anything like that. You must have a different version of the app. I've had navigon for many years (bought it a long time ago).

Navigon or Navigon Select?
Navigon USA is working fine on my Pixel XL.
I'm not familiar with "Navigon Select" but it's definitely a different download than Navigon USA:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.navigon.navigator_select&hl=en

I still prefer Google Maps over Navigon USA though. By far (just my opinion).
And am still annoyed with myself for paying $39 for the Navigon crap.
Especially now that Google Maps lets you download offline maps for when cellular data is not available.

I definitely prefer Google Maps, but sometimes I won't know when I will lose data (traveling through Nevada for example) and unless I know to download in advance, google maps will fail. It also only allows you to download relatively small areas, where I can download entire states on Navigon. Again, I use Google Maps nearly 100% of the time, but have Navigon with surrounding states downloaded as a back up.

Try wiping cache/data for the app and uninstall it.
Then reboot and make SURE you're connected to WiFi because Navigon initial setup is often picky abou that.
Then re-install Navigon and try to set it up?

I tried all of that, got the same register screen and then when I submit, it says error occurred. If I choose skip, still same error occurred.

Dangit, Secure Settings Pro isn't working.
This may actually be an issue with Root more so than Nougat.
Sucks because I use it with Tasker quite a bit.
Anyone know of a good alternative for Secure Settings?
I emailed the developer but the app hasn't been updated in over a year so I'm not holding my breath.

The Wawa app hasn't worked for me since I rooted. I get constant Force Closes.

ifont does not work either, getting a error code 7 ....
sorry about that, ifont only works with root.... and its not working
and Air Audio is not working either with root.....

Yep, please do specify when it's an issue because of root so that I can differentiate in the OP. :good:

I have Snapchat on my device and it works just fine. I think I signed up for beta testing though. So for those who can't get Snapchat working, maybe try the beta? I'm also not rooted, so I'm not sure if that is causing it to not work properly.

Add Autostarts to the list. Even with root it can't make changes. Says it needs root.

Market Server Error

Anyone having an issue with the market where you can download apps etc. But if you try and look at "My apps" or "My downloads" it gives you a "server error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen?"
Started last night, tried everything I can think of.
Anyone see this before?
Ditto for me. FYI, my market app was an apk install. I didn't wait for automatic update.

Install apk of new market app
Uninstall updates of market app

Anyone have another idea short of factory reset/flash new rom? That's my next step but I wanna give it a few days to see if it possibly could just be a Google server error for me.

I've been having the same problem since yesterday with different roms and new and old market.

I also have this problem, tested on every Rom in Rom Manager. I believe the problem us that I am using google as apps for my main email address. I tested with a factory reload with my gmail address and the market worked. Then I tired adding an credit card to my google apps account from my pc without any luck.
I previously made purchases with my google app account, but am no longer able to even view previous transactions. The problem is on google ends, but I have no ideal in to fix the problem or who to contact.
To complicate things further any new google app account works in purchasing apps, just the account that had previous purchases before google upgraded google apps to allow google apps account to work across google products

Good to know its not just my issue. And FYI, im using a regular Gmail account, not Google Apps account, so at least it doesnt appear to be an issue limited to that for me.
Had the same problem running Redemptive rEVOlution 2.1.3. I just started yesterday. I didn't update the Market, tried clearing cache/data/dalvik cache. Also on 3g and on wi-fi. I did update the kernel a couple of days ago and can't remember if I accessed the market since then (I think so though). I finally gave up and decided to flash to a different ROM today. Going back to SR for a little while. I am also not using a Google apps account.

Did that fix your problem? flashing a new rom?
I've been using the same ROM and Lou's #4 kernel for a couple weeks now. Only recently I've notice issues with the Market. I'm sure future updates will clear things up.

For the most part. I see it sometimes but I can hit retry and it eventually goes through. I also loaded the new market though.
For the record, I have the same issue on my Desire HD.

I installed the market early myself. Regular Google Account.
I was receiving the market error as well but about 30 minutes ago it started working.

Same here.
I got to work, tried it on both WIFI and 3G, appears to be all good now.
Must have just been a google server side issue after all.
Edit: and I did get automatically updated to the new market once I went in the second time. FWIW

[CONFIRMED] New Google Market working with MarketAccess in Canada

I just rooted my I9100 XXKG3 Bell phone with CF-Root and installed MarketAccess to allow downloading of US restricted apps. The cool part about this app is that it actually works with the new market version. Notice how my Bell Canada Galaxy S2 phone shows as being enabled into Market:

}
So far I installed Google+, Books, Music and TV Remote (I plan to get Google TV soon), all working perfectly with my US Google Apps account. So it is possible to get/use US based applications in Canada.
For those interested to learn more how I did it, I use StrongVPN as service for a US IP address in New York and have a Cisco E4200 DD-WRT router connected to my Netgear ProSafe VPN Firewall SRXN3205 router. In this way, I get the best of worlds... a wireless Canadian and US IP address. I got this setup going originally because I wanted to see all the US based movies for Netflix on my TV, while in Canada. I used a free Google Apps account and set it to United States as base country. I can sync now my mail, contacts, music, videos, etc. with one single custom account (@yqed.com) on both my Samsung Galaxy S2 and Tab. For paid apps, I use my regular Canadian credit card, it works fine to purchase any apps. The key (I think) is the Google Apps account to be set in United States.
Here are some screenshots:
hmm... i'm using the latest Android Market and /or Google Market and i don't even need to do any of that
it works just fine in Windmobiles
Do any of US restricted apps install and actually work for you? You have a Canadian provider SIM card in your phone? One thing is sure, it does not work with Bell... as soon I disable the MarketAccess, all US apps are gone. All my restricted apps work properly, for example I'm able to sync music from my PC to all my devices with Google Music. The songs pop right away into app. I was also able to rent and watch a video from Google Videos, not that I plan to use this service but still...
More updates... I noticed that even if I disable the MarketAccess, I still have full access to restricted apps in my browser. I removed the app, did a cache cleanup with CWM and restarted the phone. The apps are not visible anymore into Market but I was able to install fine Google Videos from the browser. That is nice... Let see if Google remembers my fake carrier forever.
Has Google lifted market restrictions? I just tried searching for an app that before I was restricted to and I was surprised to see I can download it now!
Heh, really? What app was it? Before installing the MarketAccess today, I was getting the dreadful "This item cannot be installed in your device's country" message.

Ooops... not really, maybe just the app became available, still can't access Google Music... too bad
That is easy to fix, you only need a VPN provider. Then it will work.
The secret is to actually have the router running as VPN server, or else your app will detect the Non-US IP and fail miserably. DD-WRT does that very nice.
will try that but how about if I'm away from the router? Will MarketEnabler do the trick for Google Music?

You only need MarketAccess (MarketEnabler is confirmed not to work with the new Market version) to install the Music app and you need an US IP to configure it for the first time into your phone. This is critical, using a VPN directly into your phone won't work. If the app detects an non-US IP, it will not enable the streaming features over a Google account. Once the software link is created to your account, you can use/stream music from any IP in the world. It would be pretty useless to have the app if Google allows you to download your music ONLY when you are in States.
I tested the app to upload new songs from PC with my Canadian IP, as well streaming music on the Music app. It works as intended. This how the app streams a 320kpbs song:
This is how the app widget looks like:
I see... Thanks for the heads up, will get to setting up a US vpn first prior installation. The app looks really cool, something to look forward to.

N app compability list

Hey all. I thought I'd start a thread where we can track what apps are not working for N. This aims to help us both using N, to have a place to track, and those who potentially want to use it, but may be hesitant due to app compability.
I will update the thread once daily. This will only list apps that AREN'T working in some fashion.
Please, feel free to contribute.

There is already a thread like this in the themes and apps thread. I do agree that it should be in general though. There is more talk about android N in the general section.

Hotspot not working here either.
Also can confirm TWC TV is not working well, as stated it crashes every time upon clicking "Live TV." Google Messenger does force close galore for me as well.
Another one not working for me is the not very popular Salesforce1 app. It just constantly flashes the opening splash screen and never loads the actual app.
Instagram does work for me, although along with most of my other apps it flashes up warning messages about libraries upon opening it.
Not sure if its just me but Netflix just shows a black screen but plays audio. It was working when I first flash the preview but it stopped working recently.

I've installed the 18.2 canary release version of magisk and I can now add a card to Google pay. Won't be able to test payment until tomorrow.
I got that error last week and all I had to do was:
-Hide the main Google app using Magisk Hide (the one just called "Google" in the app drawer)
-Clear data for the GPay app
-reboot
After that, everything worked fine again.
OPen Magisk > go to MagiskHide > Select your banking app (In your case PayPal) > Try again (It should work)

There is always some kind of problems with PayPal. That's why I just refused to use their service anymore. There was a lot of headache when I was with a visit to Moskow and discovered that I can't use PayPal for paying for stuff that I need. Then I discovered https://baxity.com/. Well, actually, it was a friend of mine who recommended it to me. Good payment system, despite the fact it's new. And have some features for business. As a businessman, I like it very much.

Google Pay with Paypal worked for month on my rooted Op6T with Android 10.
A week ago payment was denied in a few stores...
I deleted Paypal in out of Google Pay, checked Magisk hide status and added Paypal again.
Worked for 2 days, now Paypal can be added to Google Pay, but as account only and not as valid payment option.
latest Android with Magisk canary, any surgestions how to fix?

My first question is why are folks adding PayPal to their Google accounts instead of running it as a separate app...Anyway as you can see in my picture, that the only thing I have "hidden" is Google Play services and I think that happens when you install Magisk anyways...
But in my case I have both PayPal and Google Pay working just fine, I am rooted and in the lastest stable Magisk, all I did was updated my Google Pay to the latest as the app is already installed on our phone , cleared the storage and cache for the app and playstore , added my cards and all works great, though no can update the app through playstore as u get app no longer compatible with my device but it works fine...

You can use Paypal as default payment methode in Google Pay. All my other bank accounts doesn't support Google Pay by now.
So Paypal is my only choise to pay with gPay by NFC.
I got both apps, and both are working well - but Paypal can't be used for payment by Gpay any more.

Before getting this error I have attempted to use gltools without any obvious success.
Have not tried HL2 specifically, but Portal has been running very well for me. Also—I have the same error message pop up when the main menu loads in Portal, *but* it has no effect on gameplay, the game, menu and levels still load just fine.
I'll download HL2 and give that a try to see if I can get it to work.
Edit: One issue I do have even with Portal running well otherwise is that there are black bars on the right side and bottom of the screen. I think it has something to do with the nav bars, but it still happens even if I hide the nav bar.

Could you try Borderlands 2 and borderlands the pre sequel?
Borderlands 2 gets a license validation failure when starting, I of course already bought it many years ago, I guess their server is offline

I bought Tomb Raider and have the same issue. Are there ways to get it working by circumventing the license check? Not sure if we're allowed to discuss that here, but I mean I just want to play something I legitimately paid for...

Where can I buy the games to try them out? It doesn't show any of them on the play store for me. If I go through google it says the games aren't compatible

If you installed shieldfier and still says incompatible you can install a magisk module called "_something_ a road to vendor apps" can't recall the full name.

Thanks I'll have a look. I have installed shieldfier and have the nvidia games app but for some reason it just closes every time I try to open it.

Hmm it's not showing for me on the store. If i find it through google it says the app isn't compatible with my device anymore. I installed the shieldifier.zip again and still the same problems
​
Yea having the same issue with metal gear rising. I guess someone will have to find a work around. I tried to use lucky patcher but could get anything to work. If someone could try it also that would be great.
so... no luck? what is shieldfier? what about the module?

shieldfier is a flashable zip so your switch will be identified as nvidia shield.
It is in the first post of (Unofficial) Android release

So I bought HL2 Portal and Metal Gear Rising on my Switch via Google Play Store. If I use app screen resize to force resolution to 1920x1120 everything works perfect docked or in portable mode for HL2 and Portal. No matter what I try I cannot get my legal Metal Gear Rising to validate with Nvidia after it logs into the correct Google Play account. I read an app called Lucky Patcher can help but I don't know how to use it...
Question to people who have played HL2 and Portal on the Switch: is it possible to aim using motion controls (gyro aiming)?
And, by the way, did anybody manage to make Metal Gear Rising work?

I don't think the gyro works, because the game was developed to be used with the Nvidia Shield Controller, not Joy-Cons. Got to Ravenholm, but not having true analog on the Joy-Cons is a little frustrating.
I had the same verification problems with Metal Gear Solid 3 HD. Tried a bunch of stuff with Lucky Patcher, but no luck
