    They made it very hard to install roms.

    There is this orange warning on boot.

    Then banking apps don’t work.

      With a rooted phone you can install Zygisk (magisk + zygote) and then a bunch of modules that simulate system integrity.

      What you need are “play integrity fix” and “playcurl_NEXT”.

      The first module lets you bypass the google play integrity check, the second one will download updated integrity fingerprint files every 5 minutes to ensure that the bypass never fails.

      If you know how to install custom ROMs, this part is not a big challenge.

        Thank you. Yeah I was aware that there is magysk. Problem is - it’s becoming too many hacks to deal with. And I bet it probably breaks from time to time and one has to hack/fix it again?

          With playcurl next I didn’t experience any issues yet, it’s polling a new device fingerprint every couple minutes to make sure your device never ends up on a blocklist, and you can trigger this manually in the magisk app as well.

          Can’t guarantee it’s never going to be blocked if Google changes the algorithm, but that would just mean they have to adjust the fingerprinting as well.
