I use adaway which simply replace the /etc/hosts file, but requires root. I consider a phone a paperweight if I cannot have root on it, but I realize this might be different for other users.
- josephcsible 4y agoWhat are you going to do once Google makes TEE-based bootloader unlock checking a mandatory part of SafetyNet? Right now, I'm in the same camp as you, and I don't have a good answer to that myself.
- hedora 4y agoI'll likely just not use banking software that requires safetynet. If that means I need to switch banks, that's OK.
- josephcsible 4y agoIt's a lot more than just banking apps. It's also McDonald's, Netflix, Snapchat, Pokemon Go, Super Mario Run, etc. Will you just stop using all of them too?
- kuon 4y agoYes. If an app dont run, I do not use it. If I cannot root my phone, I'll stop having one, I'll have a dumb phone.
- MichaelCollins 4y agoI've never used any of those apps. But McDonald's particularly? I know those other apps are popular, but who actually installs the app for a fast food restaurant? I thought this was something these companies wasted money on because they wanted to feel techy and trendy, I didn't think anybody actually fell for it though. Just walk up to the counter and say "I'll have number whatever"
- Epuineeb5 4y agoI have unlocked bootloader (without actually rooting the phone) and McDonald's app is the only one refusing to work - i guess their coupons need more "security" than a banking app
- efreak 4y agoI don't have a single one of those apps. I've got _one_ app I install occasionally that doesn't work on my rooted phone (cvs/caremark) and it doesn't work unrooted (or with safetynet fix applied) either--it lets me try to log in, then tells me to use blue shield instead (which works just fine rooted).
