    banking app already don’t let you root or otherwise flash your device so I have given up hope in trying with them

    You can get around that pretty easily by fooling SafetyNet / Play Integrity and hiding root from those apps. My phones have all been rooted for years and I never had issues with banking apps. I don’t even run any google services anymore and the apps I use are fine with that.

      Previous phone it worked up until it didn’t. New phone I left unrooted since that was the error they gave me. Now without the root/jailbreak error, I get a useless generic error & the app crashes. I’ve been too lazy to root it just choosing alternative payment methods.

        just choosing alternative payment methods.

        Probably the better method, no bank is worth going through all that hassle.

      I would not say easily. And even if you pass SafetyNet, your banking app may still not work. I have one, and I haven’t figured out what it checks for, maybe LineageOS name or something. Would probably have to tear the apk apart to find out.

        Do you use Magisk? I assume you have done the following already?

        • Enable Zygisk & the DenyList
        • (If Google apps are installed, deny all Google apps root access)
        • Deny the app in question root access
        • Install PlayIntegrityFix on newer devices OR SafetyNetFix on older devices (don’t install both)
        • Reboot, force stop app and clear storage/cache
        • (Check if it works with this and this)

        That should do it for all apps that do not require strong integrity.
