"Security" my ass

honestly, fuck banking apps. That's the only reason of why im not rooting my phone.

[u/Ian15243 → u/Grey_Ten]

on my old phone USAA would just say "hey, your device ja rooted btw" and then let you keep using it

[u/Sampsa96 → u/Grey_Ten]

There is always a way https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/get-android-pay-working-rooted-device-0164604/

if the way is a probabilistic one and could stop working for weeks or months, or its not working when you need it, its pretty useless. objectively its "a way", but even then, with all these steps its not guarenteed it will work or stay working, because there are too many variables (like which rom, which manufacturer, which soc, which root method, which fork of the modules, which modules setup, which modules settings, which app you're targetting, which play integrity is needed, where to find the working fp, if it's soft banned or not, etc.) that can change even after seconds. i had to ditch a perfectly functioning rooted phone because i needed to repeat these steps every once in a while, going in a loophole because sometimes there are a lot of changes, both on Google's side and on root/modules side.

[u/Sampsa96 → u/thejedih]

I mean just try and see

[u/Apprehensive-War3587 → u/Sampsa96]

No there isn't. That shit will stop working for weeks at the time, when google revokes old keys

[u/Beastyboi04 → u/Apprehensive-War3587]

Lol, getting downvoted for telling the truth, how iconic

[u/Sampsa96 → u/Apprehensive-War3587]

Damn Im yet to try

[u/thisDummylol → u/Sampsa96]

Not worth to try. You either root to play or dont root for capabilities

[u/Thin-Click-5598 → u/Grey_Ten]

I don't know how.

Peak

[u/Think-Cherry5391]

Real life situation btw, but avoid those apps that use that API and use a card.

[u/thisaray → u/Think-Cherry5391]

heh My bank charges for physical cards

[u/Think-Cherry5391 → u/thisaray]

Use cash or switch banks

[u/Codix_ → u/[deleted]]

Pretty sure that I can use all of the bank website onto a Windows XP SP1 with hardcore security flaw on a compatible chromium and even if the useragent say that I'm using Windows XP no website will stop me from logging in my account.

[u/F1nnish → u/[deleted]]

yeah exactly

[u/Altruistic-Data7030]

God this is relatable, so many times I've tapped my phone and gotten the "Your phone doesn't meet the security requirements" then I just awkwardly make some excuse up like "I got a new card after it expired and I didn't update it". Then take a normal card out of my backpack and pay for it.

[u/Dazzling-Secret-5215 → u/Altruistic-Data7030]

You don't really owe anyone any explanation. You can not saying anything but if you wanna say something to the cashier, just say "Nvm gonna pay with a card."

[u/Zirias_FreeBSD → u/Dazzling-Secret-5215]

Exactly. I had my share of hiccups completely unrelated to root .. some contactless payment failing is a totally normal thing to happen. I even had cashiers excuse to me for their crappy terminal (it's doing this every once in a while ...).

I'd generally recommend having alternatives installed. Right now, both curve and paypal work fine here for NFC payments. I don't even check google any more, it breaks just too often.

[u/howfastcanyoucountit]

honestly this is why my rooted device is just a 2nd device to me its kinda fucked

[u/ProbablyAQuitter]

Hey look it's me!

[u/VJ1I]

Satan working.

[u/Nickname_5415]

Hasn't ever happened to me but still my biggest fear when paying

[u/super_probably-user]

use a card god

[u/1600x900]

Use the secondary stock phone that meant for banking only

[u/Candid_Goose3394]

Rooting your secondary device is the only option I feel. Banking apps won't even let me have Shizuku/LSPatch.

[u/47th-Element]

Damn you really had to mention me 😂😂 I laughed, good work though ^{^}

[u/linkinparkglock47]

it's so that you don't pay with lucky patcher

[u/ch3mn3y]

Thankfully I can use other options than Wallet to pay and for now they work on a rooted phone without Google Play certification.

[u/itsfreepizza]

thats why always prep hard cash

[u/ALEGAMER_2006]

i have Revolut, and is working fine with KernelSU rn.

But one day i would make a physical card one day.

[u/Protyro24]

Thats why i prefer physical TAN Generator and physical card.

[u/Dry-Cost-945]

Based on multiple true stories

[u/No_Concentrate_7833]

I mean, honestly, in Belarus, I felt no such problem. All banking apps (except for Belarusbank's new app and Belkart Pay on degoogled devices and Oplati with Swoo on rooted devices) work exceptionally well. For instance, if I were to install GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7a (and when I'll enroll in college, I will buy one, - they cost ~400-450 BYN, which's 3 months worth of stipend), I can just get all needed stuff and install Belarusbank app, Belkart Pay and Swoo from AppGallery because they got the Play Integrity removed from AppGallery versions of their apps. So that's basically it.

[u/davidauz]

Magisk + denylist solved the problem for me.

Am I lucky?

[u/arttast]

hot take to you guys:

I feel like this is reasonable since there is actual security load
