Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens (www.androidauthority.com)

TL;DR

  • Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
  • The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
  • Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

Second phone just for these things wouldn't work for what you need?

That's not exactly a great solution. It works, but it's a shitty workaround at best.

Not disagreeing I was genuinely asking.

For me it wouldnt be too inconvenient but I barely use banks so my perspective is atypical

Dont know what you mean sorry

I did pull $600 out my sock at the best buy to buy my pixel recently tho lol

I do basically that, but with aSamsung tablet, then my phone can be for phone things, calls, messages, emails. Then if I'm out and about and need to check my bank, mobile hotspot to my phone and go from there.

thats what i do atm, but its a shitty solution when i have a perfectly good phone. it defeats the purpose.

the irony is, my second phone is probably less secure, because its stuck in an ancient version of android.
