I am a Tasker enthusiast and when I can automate something simple on my phone I like to. I set a simple task to turn off WiFi when my home network is not detected so my phone doesn't scan and report my location to businesses. However, this functionality is now nonexistent and the developer has to ask people not to one-star their app because it doesn't work. My phone is my phone and killing my ability to use it as such for whatever security theater Google is playing at is why I root my device. Anyone else still rooting for similar reasons?
I like being able to use my banking app. I do miss having proper control, though.
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.
