Enabling Android Pay on Lineage i e getting a Custom ROM to pass SafetyNet checks

One issue with running a Custom ROM is that applications which require operation in a secure environment can use Androids SafetyNet API, which is part of Google Play Services, to check whether the device has been tampered with - i.e. whether it is running with root, has an unlocked bootloader or is running an unapproved ROM.

Such checks are performed by Banking applications, Android Pay and even some games such as Pokemon Go and others.

One way we can bypass this check is by using Magisk. One of the functions of Magisk is the ability to hide aspects of the system from SafetyNet, allowing applications that use these checks to function correctly on a device that would otherwise fail the checks.

Installing Magisk

Magisk comes in two parts - a flashable zip file, which should be installed by a custom Recovery such as TWRP, and an APK to control its behaviour.

At the time of writing, the latest stable version of Magisk is 12.0. If you are using a newer version, the exact steps required may be slightly different to that outlined below.

1. Download both the Zip file and APK from the XDA thread directly on the device - ideally in Chrome.
2. Shut down the phone and boot into TWRP with Volume Up plus Power
3. Go to Install and locate the Zip file, which is likely to be in the Download folder
4. Once flashed, reboot the phone
5. Ensure that Unknown Sources is enabled in Settings / Security.
6. In a file manager application of your choice, install the MagiskManager apk file, which is likely to be in the Download folder.
7. Turn off Unknown Sources if required

Configuring Magisk

1. Run Magisk Manager
2. Click on the Status burger menu and go to Settings
3. Enable Magisk Hide
4. Tick Magisk Core Only Mode
5. Reboot the phone, as requested

Test for a SafetyNet pass

You can test for a SafetyNet pass either inside Magisk Manager itself (Tap to start SafetyNet check) or via third party apps such as SafetyNet test

Once you have checked that SafetyNet passes, try the application that previously gave issues - hopefully it will now run as expected!
