Hey all. Recently got myself a 64GB dual-SIM Xperia X to stick Sailfish on, but until I had the time to migrate properly from my old J1, I thought I'd have a play with the version of Android it came with (Nougat). One of the things I had a poke around with was my old Pokemon GO account that had sat dormant since the SafetyNet checks came in back in September '16, which blocked the modded APK where I'd lowered the API version from 4.4. to 4.1.

I fully expected my new phone not to work after I'd flashed it, but figured I'd ask regardless...

So now I have my Xperia whose Alien Dalvik supports 4.4, but the game will not authenticate me, presumably because SafetyNet fails basic integrity checks. So...do we have a way around this? Can we monitor what it's looking for and "massage" the environment into being what it expects?
