Btw. This whole debacle made me to stop installing any Android updates. I've done my best to avoid installing even the security updates, so my diabetes apps continue working in the future.
I really need to take the time and go with Graphene OS in this device. My bank N26 kind of still allows it, but they made it harder and harder to use with certain custom checks. Looks like in the future I need a separate banking phone and my daily driver.
The device works right now how I want it. I don't want anything to change.
- 0x000xca0xfe 3mo agoI have an old $70 test device with stock Android/Google that hasn't seen security updates in half a decade yet all banking apps, electric car charging, Google services, you name it, work absolutely fine. Meanwhile the daily driver phones of my privacy-aware family members running up-to-date Lineage or Graphene OS with recent kernels and frequent updates constantly run into apps refusing to work for "security" reasons. It's a complete joke.
