Hi everyone, the Widevine level on rooted my OnePlus 13 was downgraded to L3 and when I solved the issue I inadvertently discovered a way to set up Netflix on a rooted Android device. In this article I'll share it with you.
This is what you exactly need to do in order in order to set up Netflix on a rooted device without installing a module permanently:
(1) Download and install Netflix from the Google Play Store.
(2) Download and install https://github.com/hzy132/liboemcryptodisabler with your root manager. I know I said that you don't need a module but in order to open and login into Netflix you really need to install this module through manager or else Netflix will show error 93.
(3) Log in into Netflix.
(4) Delete Liboemcrypto Disabler with your root manager.
(5) Reopen Netflix and let the error 93 pop up.
(6) Close Netflix.
(7) Reopen Netflix, now you should open and use Netflix as usual without any kind of errors.
(8) After you followed the written steps you should have Netflix set up.
The Widevine level will show up as L1 on DRM Info if you even got that app but on Netflix it'll show L3 but the Widevine level on Netflix is leading.
This is if you got "L1" according to DRM Info the Widevine system ID will likely have 10 digits, shortly as long you got the bootloader unlocked you can never have L1 but only L3.
I hope that this tutorial was helpful and if you got any questions feel free to ask them lastly!
I’ve been using iPhones since 2013, but I’m getting pretty bored with iOS lately. I’ve been eyeing the Galaxy S25 Ultra because I really love its design, and as a software developer, I’m a huge fan of macOS.
But I’m curious, if any of you are using a Mac with an Android phone, how’s the experience? Is the interoperability good? What’s missing? Any major issues you’ve encountered? Just curious to hear about your experience and how things work between the two ecosystems!
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
.. nevertheless, the fact that your phone has 120+ Hz.
My phone has a 144 Hz display, but I am rather using 60 Hz. I have my complicated reasons, but iam very happy with it.
I'm just curious.
The first post in this Issue Tracker report explains the issue.
Android 15 QPR2 Beta 1 broke the ability for scrcpy to create virtual displays, as the requisite permissions were removed from the shell app. Before this update, scrcpy could create virtual displays that you could mirror instead of your device's main display. This meant you could stream apps to your PC and still use your phone at the same time.
However, a Googler says the company has added back these permissions to shell for Android 16:
We have reviewed this request and added the relevant permissions back to Shell for Android 16.
However, the primary purpose of Shell holding these permissions is testing. This is an unsupported usage and may break again in the future without notice.
Looks like T-Mobile and Starlink are starting to let some Pixel 9 users into the satellite messaging beta.
Just heard from two Pixel 9 Pro XL users that they were invited to the beta.
When the beta first launched two weeks ago, it was reported that only 5 Samsung models were supported (Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, S24 series). My OnePlus 13 wasn't accepted into the beta, but hopefully that'll change soon.
FWIW: Google has been testing Starlink support on the Pixel 9 for a few months now.
