Background:
Made by Zenith, Sony Apps Enabler is a ported version of Sony devices' framework files for any Android device. This tricks Play Store into recognizing your Android as a Sony device and therefore, allowing you to install and update Sony devices specific apps directly from Play Store.
For more info, please check the original thread here.

By using this module, you're able to use the following Sony apps:
  • Music
  • Album
  • Xperia Keyboard
  • Calendar
  • Weather
  • Sketch
  • Other apps by Sony Mobile Communications

Downloads:

You can download it from Magisk Manager or find versions for Magisk v12 and v13 here.
Note: The original version for Magisk v12 has a higher versionCode than the one on Magisk Manager for Magisk v13, so you'll need to reinstall it to make Magisk Manager keep track of it. I did this mostly for easier updating on the repo and to avoid breaking Magisk v12 installs as the v4 template is incompatible with pre-v13 Magisk.

Installation:
  • Download and flash the Sony Apps Enabler file through TWRP or Magisk Manager.
  • Reboot.
  • Clear Play Store's data.
  • Open Play Store and install your preferred Sony apps.
Bugs:
None so far.

Credits:
Sony for providing the apps.
A.R.I.S.E. Sound Systems and XOSP Community for essential files.

@Zenith for originally creating this package.

For Magisk v13.x, I need to update the template to v4. I'm going to do this between today and tomorrow and maybe push it on the Magisk Modules repo.

For features and enhancements, check the original thread, I'm only repacking it for Magisk.

@matpower64 I tried flashing your module, both, for magisk 13.3 and both gave the same error, something like not a valid zip file. I figured out what was the issue and repacked your zip file. Then it flashed just fine but it gave me bootloop. I confirmed it after clean flashing everything from scratch. Without this module, my phone booted just fine but after flashing it, again bootloop.

Rom - PA 7.1.3 unofficial
Device - Falcon
Gapps - Pico
Magisk - 13.3

Hmm, could you get the magisk.log in /cache after a bootloop? The .zips were working last time I tested them, just wondering, do you get the same problem if you download it directly from Magisk Manager?

Sorry for the wait, but you should be able to uninstall the apps as if they were normal applications after removing Magisk. (Unless I misunderstood you, then I am sorry)

Thank you so much for the Magisk version @matpower64. But help plz! The Xperia Home and Weather app are incompatible on the Play Store. I didn't test others but I could able to install only Calendar and Keyboard apps.. Is there any way to change incompatible status for the other Sony apps? What could be reason of it? I'm using LeEco Le Max 2 with custom Slim Nougat rom..

Probably a limitation, like Zenith said, some apps won't work. Still, at least I am sure that the weather app would work, try getting an older version from APKMirror and see if it installs. I would do some testing myself, but I'm currently without a phone. :(


As for updating it to Magisk v14, I want to do it as soon as possible, I'll probably see if I can borrow a friend's phone later to work on this, my ETA would be this weekend.

Sorry for the long delay, I ended up waiting until I got my own phone to do that.
Just pushed support for Magisk 14.1/14.2+ (template 1410) since it is almost hitting stable AFAIK, this should allow it to work on Pixels too. It worked on my Redmi Note 3 running LineageOS 14.1 and Moto G3 running AOSPExtended, I haven't tried on Oreo yet as I need to restore my backup, but at least, it is confirmed working on Nougat like it used to.

Which version of the file is needed for magisk 14? I downloaded 4.2.0 and it says failed to install on my one plus 5t?

You need Magisk 14.2+ (current in beta), just download it from Magisk Manager as I didn't have time to upload to AndroidFileHost yet. (Just finished finals so my schedule is finally opening up again)

Do you have an experience with the Sony remote play app? Desperately trying to get it to work but it won't install the app as it says my device is not compatible ??

    Bravia engine should work in album app?
    For no-xperia

    I believe that Bravia Engine is a camera related feature, I messed around with the Sony Album app and didn't find any Bravia Engine related setting in either videos or photos.
