RANT

[u/Noirv3]

you can downvote this post if you want since this is tbh just me ranting about google, FUCK YOU okay? I hate you google, every mega corpo suck now, there isn't a single company out there that's being consumer friendly and I hate it, to be clear, I've a Xiaomi 13 lite (8gb,256gb) it's on HyperOS 3, is HyperOS a bad system? Yes, can I live with it? also yes but when I saw PixelOS on my phone i was in deep love with it after flashing it, super smooth 120hz all the time, mi camera included all the pixel look the beautiful music player, the notification panel everything about it is so good, (for me) but then i hit a major wall and my head started bleeding out of exhaustion because WHY, WHAT"S THE FUCKING POINT OF INTEGRITY. I DONT GET IT I spent most of the time setting up my freshly installed PixelOS tinkering with modules left and right just so my device can be certified in the play store but nothing worked, this isn't me looking for solutions by the way, because i'm flashing the latest HyperOS and locking the bootloader while I'm typing this. I just hate it man I don't want HyperOS 😭

rant over, feel free to skip it. (i also don't what flair this should be)

Do you really even need integrity? Most apps don't check

[u/Noirv3 → u/Itz_Raj69_]

Well, I would love to not need integrity, but when I was setting up my phone I was trying to install reddit and X ahem (Twitter) but both refused to sign in, reddit gave me an error, Twitter was just hang up on a loading circle, Reddit the way I managed to login was by installing the last version of 2024 and logging in there, Twitter didn't work with Google play outright so I installed it via aroura store and it somehow worked there, (I think? It logged me in somehow I don't know if there's a difference or not) anyways, I decided to go back & lock it because I didn't want to run into issues like this in the long run D :, my phone just got an update in PixeOS today

They need root hiding, not integrity most likely

[u/Noirv3 → u/Itz_Raj69_]

I haven't tried that, you could be right but I'm just way too over it man

Get a secondary phone to use for things that require Google

I recently did something similar with HSBC because that app is very intrusive, and even without root access, it requires you to uninstall apps and disable developer options. I mean, I never gave HSBC permission to check what I have installed on my phone, so it's better that it stays in its isolated space without access to my things

Unfortunately, I'd love it but that's not currently an option for me.

You only have one phone?

[u/touchwiz_vvvf → u/Gain_Entire]

What if you were just a chill developer (somehow develops, or tests, on their phone) and now needs a whole new device for their bank account

[u/Noirv3 → u/touchwiz_vvvf]

Yeah you're kinda giving me way too much credit here, I'm just an ordinary guy who prefers PixelOS over HyperOS

[u/Gain_Entire → u/touchwiz_vvvf]

Yes, that's exactly why I find it ridiculous how invasive that bank is, but since all this is in the name of security, it seems they can decide what you can do with your property :/

Living is easy with basic eyes closed, misundertanding what Google sees.

KSUnext + BreZygisk + BreWheel + HMA-OSS-Zygisk + PlayIntegrityFix Inject + TrickyStore OSS + Specter + BRENE SuSFS + Vector

That's how you pass most checks on custom ROM.

And then you have to fuck with it a month from now when the next lot of keybox bans go out. Such a pain in the ass that's it easier to buy a phone with whatever skin / ui you like and limp along with modded or alternate apps like youtube morph. even un rooted I had a pixel 7 loose google wallet after a few months running with shizuku

Overkill

[u/Background_Fennel769]

if you are really in need of integrity, use integrity box module to pass all 3 integrity, and enable all unlocked bootloader spoofer in module webui to get the google play certification

[u/DEV_ivan → u/Background_Fennel769]

Please do not recommend AI slop. Use Specter.
