Dont root your phone
It breaks the security model. Instead flash a ROM that is AOSP based
I'm on unrooted lineage with mindthegapps / Google play services with my Google Services Framework ID registered with Google, but I still have to make 3 attempts to log in to my bank with the first 2 attempts always giving a vague error like "we're not sure why we couldn't connect", similar with fidelity. Using a password manager so I'm entering the same credentials every time.
(Edit: in the case of fidelity, instead of faking a connection issue it tells me my account is blocked and to call support to unblock it - that's also fake because I called once and they said my account wasn't locked and trying to log in a second time always works)
My understanding is that it's impossible to pass strong integrity unless you're using the stock unmodified rom with the bootloader locked.
I changed banks last week and the new bank (Aspiration) logs in fine the first time every time.
It sounds like the situation is better with graphene but I find it a lot easier to switch banks than roms.
Yeah I've switched 3 times already but every once in a while the app crashes or fails the integrity test and I note in the worse possible time..when I need to pay for something. Looks like the best alternative is to have a cheap android phone just to do banking.
Yeah I did that because of the banking apps issues so I've installed magisk. Looks like I made a mistake.
