You can still install custom roms without root enabled. Enabling root access is an optional step on most custom roms installation as long as your bootlooader has been unlocked. The question is, does google disable rcs on such devices too, or is it just on rooted devices?
According to the OP that opened the issue with Google, it doesn't work with devices with unlocked bootloaders so it would affect the majority of custom ROM users since very few custom ROMs and devices support relocking the bootloader, and I think it probably would still affect these devices too since the last time I relocked a bootloader with DivestOS I still had the error message about system integrity on boot
Rooted users can probably bypass this issue with some Magisk modules the same way they do with GPay and banking apps.
If Google really does want to push RCS then disabling access to the more technically inclined users now seems a bit silly.
I thought they'd at least wait for wider adoption before locking it down like they're doing with YouTube and ad blockers, especially with imessage and WhatsApp being such big competitors. At least in Europe, I don't see anyone dropping WhatsApp for RCS anytime soon.
That doesn't work anymore due to hardware attestation
Works fine for me, banking and gpay
