- amelius 3y agoPlease tell me how I can run my own version of Android on my Samsung phone that doesn't phone home to Google or Samsung, while still being able to run my banking apps.
- wilg 3y agoI don't know anything about it, I use iOS. I guess the web?
- Talanes 3y agoGranted, but would we have banking apps at all in a more open system, or would the banks just resist it and have stayed more offline? I'm not implying one answer or the other, because I definitely don't know.
- cglong 3y agoIf the duopoly hadn't trained users so well to rely on app stores for everything, banks probably would've invested more in web interfaces. At one point, the Bank of America website was the only access point for Windows Phone, but it was good enough for my needs and helped supported a little more diversity.

- tredre3 3y agoYou can generally sideload whatever you want on Android. But people will ALWAYS point out the edge cases such as banking apps not working on custom firmware/rooted devices, and somehow that makes Android very bad and very walled garden.
