I like being able to use my banking app. I do miss having proper control, though.
shoutout to USAA banking app that detected my root, but just showed a warning and allowed me to continue. that's how it ahould be imho
Big fuck you to the Belgian govt who detected my developer settings being on and blocked their app from working...
That's pretty badass.
Magisk zygisk won't work for you?
It's been a while since I've rooted. I'll look into it. Thanks for the direction.
What is?
If you root with Magisk you can still use the banking apps, at least i can.
It's still a cat and mouse game between Google and playintegrityfix/next. If you need to rely on your phone at any time rooting isn't really an option anymore. I don't see Google changing to be less hostile toward device automation unfortunately.
We really need a 3rd competitor or better workaround. It would be cool if you could have a virtual Android device inside a rooted device to run apps requiring safetynet. But that's way way way easier said than done.
Didn't when I tried when on LineageOS. I needed that bank app for work, so got a Pixel and switched to GrapheneOS. The bank app works, and it is useful to be able to on and off Google Maps (because of traffic routing and search, when compared to Organic Maps). But LineageOS worked better. GrapheneOS has more bugs and a small community.
KernelSU looks like a better way nowadays.

Does that effectively hide root? Because the parent repo says it's only "guaranteed" to work for Google apps.
Shamiko does help hiding root with most apps.
Shamiko is anti-libre software. We do not control it. It fails to include a libre software license text file.
Meanwhile my latest phone I haven’t yet rooted but am running a custom ROM & the banking app crashes
It's not even just banking apps anymore. Tons of libraries just check by default before allowing apps using them to run. I can't use my local transit agency's app with root, not can I order a fast food burger.
Yeah Micky D's blocking root was enough reason for me to avoid installing it on my non-rooted phone for ages, because of the implication.
Did eventually cave though, saves me a few bucks once in a blue moon when I do go.
