I was looking for screen recording solutions for recording some PUBG content, ones that captured gameplay sounds (internal audio). Google restricts apps from doing so, often banning developer accounts when devs host an app that captures system audio. People kept mentioning that MIUI's inbuilt screen recorder has an option to record system internal audio, but I could not locate that option.
As it turns out, the in-built app is version 1.4.1. I tried out the most recent v1.4.9, but it simply force closed. The next version, i.e. v1.4.4 works perfectly and also features "System Sound" as an option for Sound source.
You can download the v.1.4.4 release from APKMirror.
For non-MIUI users, LineageOS 16 features its own screen recorder app that also does the same. I haven't tried it yet, but that is an option.
Still looking for a way to reliably record high quality video + internal audio + mic, but at least we have a partial solution.
This doesn't work anymore in v10.2.8.0 because the system Screen Recorder version is v1.4.6 and Android refuses to install older versions.

Yes it doesn't. The alternative is to root your phone, uninstall the system apk, install the older apk as a system app.
@a.cid How to root Redmi Note 7?
Also, POCO F1 has just got the update that enables recording of system sounds. How can we check if Redmi is also planning that update for Redmi Note 7? is there a way?

I have been following a lot of tutorials here nothing seems to work like fastboot etc.,
I found an app in F-Droid called freeDcam APP I installed it and it after installing it automatically activates all the feature of the phone that the developer forgot. Specifically the camera2api of Max pro m1. So there you go. No need for fastboot. restarting etc, hassle and stuff. Just install FreeDcam app from F-Droid
After install, check if the activation worked using "Manual Camera compatibility Test app" found in Playstore. It should work. I hope it can help someone here

Any app from the F-Droid official repository is 1,00,000 times safer than the safest app from the Google play store....

I uave used this app and it does help you taking photos with some extended settings and also allows you to click in RAW format but it WILL NOT ENABLE CAM2API.

>> First install F-Droid. just from that link above or google it... then look for FreeDcam... after installing FreeDcam open it, you will see script run like matrix.. Then if you want to check if Camera2api is enabled you can install the ""Manual Camera compatibility Test app" found in Google Playstore.. it should show you that it is enabled. Then after that you can Install Gcam app that you prefer here in xda. Hope it helps.. I'm too lazy to post screen shot, but my situtation i think is the extreme because fastboot method didn't work for me but this method worked and it's easier because i didn't have to plug it in to a computer..and this is safe like what cookieninja said everything from f-droid is generally safe.

Hello guys,
this is my first post in the forum, it's good to be a part of it!
So I bought a Lenovo P10 Tab which turned out it can't play Netflix Full HD because it is recognised as L3 Widevine device by Netflix (even though DRM apps show it to be L1).
I tried the APK from this link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/watch-netflix-hd-ultra-hd-poco-f1-t3840727
on my Moto G7 and worked wonders, but can't be installed on my Lenovo Tab P10. Probably because it has a built-in version of Netflix. It tried disabling the built-in version in "Settings --> Apps" but the above APK could not be installed once again.
Any suggestions?
I tried deleting the built-in Netflix APK using "adb uninstaller" and I was hopeful because when I tried to install the XDA APK, it was the first time it didn't ask me if I wanted to install an update on top of the built-in app. The package installer treated it as a fresh installation. Even Netflix on Google Play was only showing nthe ""install" button, not the update button this time. But even then, installation failed once again...
Any ideas?
@Pitsinius
If Netflix is pre-installed as system app and/or system privileged app then your phone must be rooted to delete / update Netflix
Is there no other way?

No. For good reason files located in /system partition of Android are protected. You need superuser/root rights to access them.
Thanks for the reply mate.
I'm using mibox to watch Netflix and YouTube. I have my mibox for about 4 years and everything was ok until tommorow. Netflix after run freezed for few seconds and showed error UI-800-3 (307006). "More information" shows error UI-113. I checked my network connection, but its was ok.
Steps I performed:
1. Restart router
2. Restart mibox
3. Logoff Netflix
4. Wipe Netflix app
5. Turn off mibox and tv for whole night
6. Chenge HDMI wire and plug on other HDMI socket on TV
7. Connect mibox to other wifi
8. Factory reset my router
9. Install older versions of AndroidTV Netflix
10. Factory reset mibox
11. Install Add-on on Kodi (I logged in but no video playing.)
12. Cast video from Netflix app on smartphone to mibox.
My account is ok, Netflix works on PC on browser, Netflix app on my Android Redmi Note 7 is working.
I dont know what to do. I know my device is certified, it has Netflix preinstalled.
Does anybody know a solution?

I ran into the same issue today. I'm not sure when it started as I didn't use my device for the past 2 days. But anyway I followed all the guides online and ended up doing 2 factory reset which didn't fix the issue. I was still on Android 8.0 though because I wanted to keep TrueHD passthrough so after the 2nd factory reset I allowed the 9.0 upgrade to go through and now Netflix is working again. Bummer!
Experiencing this exact issue as of 2 days. Have no idea how to fix this
i have the same problem i am on android 9 but not the latest update
UPDATE:I have updated the mi box and its working i think it has to do with drm keys been updated
I read many bad opinions about updating this Mi Box to higher versions of Android. I was avoiding to update as hard as I can.
Are there any problems with version 9.0? I heard about lagging, slowing down, apps crashing...
Which functions I will lost updating from 6.0.1 to 9.0? I know it is one way procedure, it cant be undone..
Also had this problem. I've updated to the latest firmware and Netflix works again.

I'm not sure about what you lose from 6.0.1, but I know from 8.0 to 9.0 you lose HD audio passthrough. Atmos with DD 5.1 still works but you can no longer pass 7.1 Atmos, True HD, and DTS X. If you don't care for those then it's not a big deal to upgrade
Those who don't want to upgrade can send ESN and I can integrate it in a modded Netflix apk which will play Netflix in full HD.
Is it safe to share ESN number?
Yes, you can cut it after the 5-figure number.

I sent you ESN via private message.
I see. I will send you the apk with the ESN number added in the evening.
Here is the Netflix apk which should work on Mibox.
The apk doesn't contain the full ESN, just the part which is the same for all Miboxes:
com.netflix.ninja_8.1.2_build_3844_mod_XIAOMIMIBOX3_fullHD
MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

Does it work on ANY Mibox 3?
I ask because I have the same device (MDZ 16 AB), and the same problem - my Netflix stopped working on 10/12, a week ago.
When I saw this topic it was like the "light at the end of the tunnel", as I also don't want to update the box (mine is ATV 8.0 Oreo) and yet wish to have Netflix back. So I didnt think twice when I saw the modded apk file, so immediately went try to install it on the box.
Unfortunately, installation failed! I tried using Root Explorer app, as I always do when installing apks on mibox. But no success there. There is a message that says someting like "could not match the previous installed version." Reminding that Netflix app is a "system native" one, that is impossible to uninstall, just deactivate. Maybe it has something to do with this.
PLease, let me know a solution for this. I was so close that giving up now is not an option!
It should work on any Mibox if you manage to install it. I don't have the Mibox myself. I just modified the apk with the ESN number. Try this from another user:
1. delete app data
2. force stop app
3. Uninstall
4. Restart device
5. install moded apk
My mibox is running on Android 6.0.1 and Netflix was preinstalled but not system app, I was able to uninstall it.
Maybe it is possible to uninstall Netflix via ADB?
Thanks for the feedback.
I'm realizing that the holdback is my Netflix being a system app, impossible to remove it completely. I've already wiped off everything I could from it - app data, unnistall updates... basically it is back to factory version. That is the best I can do.
Previously, I was able to install other Netflix versions via Aptoide TV (none worked, of course), through the "update" option, much like the Play Store way. So maybe the matter is the modded apk's way of installation.

Well, if it helps to clarify the issue, this is exactly the error message after trying to install the modded apk. It says:
"INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE Package com.netflix.ninja signature do not match the previously installed version_ignoring!
So, would anyone know of any more ways to erase a system app on Android TV? I can't believe we are on the threshold of 2022 and there is still no way to get rid of these bloatwares quickly and easily!
Or else, any indication of a nice and clean tutorial for removing app via ADB, specific for mibox 3, would be of great help!
Happens also in my mibox 3.
How come lots of people are having this issue these days.
Seems like they are having some kind of expiration date bug.
Hi guys,
famusc created a simple magisk module which adds all third party apps in ForceDarkAppSettings.json, thus enabling (or disabling) dark mode for third party apps in MIUI 13 again.
After installing the module and restart, you'll find all third party apps in dark mode settings.
If you install a new app, it needs a restart to see it in dark mode list.
This module works only if it finds both ForceDarkAppSettings.json and packages.list files.
* The module is provided as it is, with no support. If you make changes, please give credit to famusc*
Tested on MIUI 13 stable redmi note 10 mojito.
Hi I downloaded that module, what to do next?

After installing the module in magisk reboot to system.
hi! is there a way to use this on a VEUX device (Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G / Poco X4 Pro 5G)? the device dont have the ForceDarkAppSettings.json and packages.list files at all.
Youtube version is 17.17.37
My understanding is that this is the version included in Android 13 factory image for P6. Is it possible to downgrade to an earlier version? So far I am experiencing failed installs using earlier .apks. I assume this is because it was an app included in the factory image? IS there a workaround?
I am rooted and stock, FWIW
I used magisk module "debloater" to uninstall apps like YouTube.
After, you should be able to install a lower version.
[MODULE][Terminal] Debloater v17.3.2 - Debloat Systemlessly!
[TERMINAL] DEBLOATER Debloat your phone Systemlessly! Debloating can sometimes be device specific. OEM apps can sometimes be a trash to a user but not to the other. So I decided to make a module to Customize the uninstallation of a system app...

You have to force YouTube to a user app instead of a system app.
Then you can uninstall the updated (installed) version.
Rooted with Magisk you can use a module to kick YouTube to a user app.
I made a module awhile back to do just this.
Replace System YouTube - [GitHub] - Link
Not sure if the module will work as is with a13.
You might need to adjust it a bit to work with a13.
Cheers.
Edit:
PS.
Just checked.
Seems everything is still the same on a13.
So I did a quick test on my Pixel 5a, no issues.

Apologize for the delay.
I did not intend to ignore your question, it just got lost in my list of replies.
As for OTA updates, it should not affect anything.
I never tested with an OTA update. I download the full version and use fastboot to update.
If you disable the module it will revert back to the newer system version.
The older version that you installed, will be uninstalled.

As for a YTMusic version..
I never needed one but, it would be easy to do the same.
Should have time this weekend to look into it.

When an app is included in system (app, priv-app, product, ...).
Newer versions get installed into userdata, regardless if it is an update from PlayStore or manually installed.
Both will be found and the newer version will be loaded.
You can only uninstall the update (userdata) version since system is read-only.
It will revert back to loading the version in system.
By replacing the system app version with zero byte file(s), the system version can not be loaded.
This leaves only the version that is installed in userdata.
It is then treated the same as any other user app.
If you uninstall the version in userdata, it will be gone since there is no system version available to load.
Cheers.

Not sure off hand but, it should be able to be modified to include yet another OnePlus directory.
I checked on my 7T (Android 12) and it was in
