It used to be possible to dip your toes in with light modifications while still keeping everything working. Now with verified boot chains, safety net and hardware backed verification, you either have everything fully locked down or you go full Richard Stallman and have everything foss.

- phh 6y agoThat's objectively wrong. Less than 1% of apps require verified boot/safetynet/hardware attestation. I'm running my own Android ROM without cheating Safetynet and I still have access to everything I use using their original unmodified uncheated app: Netflix, Spotify, my banks, all my connected objects (withings, Philips hue, bluetens, neato), or some other random apps. There are things that don't work, it's true. The only I have witnessed are Pokemon Go, and NFC payment apps (like g pay). This is very far from the "go all floss RMS-style"
