So say you want to move to one of these other OS's graphene or whatever. Do those work with modern banking apps? Pretty much the only reason they haven't done The switch so far is because Bank of America would tell me to fuck right off as far as I know

MODERATORS
you can pack them on the magisk denylist and then they might work flawlessly.
this has never failed me but i would still not recommend it.
these banks and Google have no hesitation to cut your access to your money one day. they own your way of interacting with the web now and they don't like what you're attempting here
They can't even handle the apps on their store...
I'd go Lineage / Graphene (?) next year
Been there done that. Will never go back to Google.
If they end up blocking f-droid I'm bombing them
I'll provide the explosives
This a massive overreach and so stupid when nowadays apple even relaxed their limitations a little, I heard that iOS users don't need to jailbreak anymore to use outside apps. What will be the point of android?
I don't know anything about jailbreaking android phones yet, but are there resources for getting into doing this to my current android and taking responsibility for security myself?
It's called rooting on Android, but you may have issues with banking apps blocking your phone, you will need a locked older phone to use them.
ok that's good to know. Thankfully I'm only reliant on my phone for receiving text messages for 2FA and navigation.
The android dream is over. It was fun while it lasted. My next phone will be linux
Can we still load custom roms? It's been a while since my last install of Lineage OS.
If that's not an option either, well, Linux phones I'm coming!
Use alternative ROMs while that's still an option.
Can we have mainstream Linux phones now. Fairphone is nice
So Android is pointless now?
No, really. If I'm gonna be dragged kicking and screaming into the walled garden, why would I go with Google's joke of an ecosystem instead of much nicer and better integrated Apple garden?
I might as well start carrying one of those weird branded ultra-tiny laptops from AliExpress and some used, older iPhone for the 2 apps I need.
Fuck it. Throw out the baby, the bathwater, the bathtub, the whole damn thing. Fuuuuck it.
i have a feeling that google largely gave up on making a decent phone for a while, all they want is your data, plus to put thier AI into everything to offset the cost of using AI.
To be fair, they never cared about making a decent phone. They have always just wanted your data. They are a marketing company and you are the product up for sale.
I thought the EU said that Google and apple have to permit other app stores? If that is the case they'd have to allow side loading in effect.
As long as the developer of the app store undergoes registration
How can that be legal?
Because Apple does it
Fuck.
they saw how apple is profitable from being completely walled in garden.
Wasn't it made illegal on Europe?
For your security we're going to block your access to FOSS and apps that let you avoid our ads. This is totally not a business decision. Pinky swear.
and avoid our datamining capabilities, and the intrusive AI we keep pushing on unwanted customers. we knew thier android core app(spyware) was the first step. they probably want that to permanantly installed into everyones phone.

I heard that they're probably going to be using the Google Play store and probably similar modules to play protect to enforce this. So the question becomes will disabling the Google Play store bypass this? It outright kills play protect dialogue as well as its app disabling capability as a whole since play protect is part of Google Play store.
