I strongly disagree that SafetyNet makes custom ROMs unusable as daily drivers. I don't need a banking app on my phone every day - in fact I don't use one at all. I also don't use Google Pay; these are not essentials to a phone.
But reliable cross-platform messaging? That is essential to a phone. MMS sucks, and I can't convince everybody in my life to switch to Signal.
- hocuspocus 2y agoGoogle Pay and SCA with banking apps are pretty essential to a lot of people.
- foolishgurnt 2y agoI'm using "essential" here in its narrow (and proper, as I would argue) sense. I can use a physical credit card instead of GPay. I can use my bank's website instead of the app. But if an MMS fails to download from a group message I'm in (which happens to me fairly frequently), I have no alternate recourse to see what the message said (except possibly asking a group member to send me a screenshot by email).
