How does Android pay work with root on this device? Not sure if safteynet is the same on Android Wear. I use Android pay on a daily basis so I would like it to work.

What are the chances/practicalities of setting up a pared down VM to run Android Pay and other apps and just passing hardware like nfc through to them?
Google has been doing their best to block root users from using Android Pay and who knows, they might even decide you have to pass a safetynet check just to use play services eventually (I mean why not if it's more "secure.")
Honestly though, I wish they'd just give the option to use the old Google Wallet method. Bank/reward point pass through was never something I needed anyway.
Hello everyone!
Since I installed the new Android 10 Open Beta 1, I can no longer associate credit cards with Google Pay.
I state that I only have the bootloader unlocked, for future use, when interesting kernels or mod Magisk will come out useful.
I have the following error message:
"Couldn't finish setup to pay in stores - This phone can't be used to pay in stores. This may be because it is rooted or altered in some other way."
I find the absurd thing, since with Android 9 stable I had the bootloader unlocked, root access and custom kernels.
Everything worked properly.
Some idea?
Do you have the same problem?
Thanks in advance!
I have experienced a similar problem with Pokémon Go, which I suppose uses SafetyNet to detect root etc. Hasn't that been the case with Google Pay too? So if both Pokémon Go and Google Pay refuse to work and both uses SafetyNet as "protection"-service, maybe that means that there's an error regarding SafetyNet on the Open Beta 1?
Has anyone had any luck with google pay working on the new custom roms, lineage and crdroid. Both pass safety net but gpay says i dont meet the requirements so contactless doesnt work.
Im looking for a rom that i can use without magisk and safetynet passes.and most important of all i want it to support microg cuz i dont want google services.
If you want to pass SafetyNet you have to use Google services...
Didnt knew that.Do you think failing safetynet will cause any issues on apps? i think the lineage os for microg looks the best for me but i think i should stay in stock.rom and ota installs doesnt looks like as easy or convinient as my old 5t
I'm a fan of Google-free Custom ROM and use mainly crDroid on Xiaomi and Motorola devices.
However because some Apps (not needed daily) require a locked device and Google Android system with all security features I am looking for a secondary smartphone which can be used for such Apps at home over WLAN, no mobile phone monthly payment plan is planned so just the cheapest possible SIM to receive SMS and maybe have a little 4G-Traffic, because some Apps require that for security functions. Other features are reliable battery and not too small screen (6.2"+)
Because buying a new Pixel for over 300$ is not a good option for this use case (even my main phone did not cost much more) I am looking for the currently good devices which have Stock bloat-free Android, foreseeable updates and do not cost a lot. So either low-mid-range new smartphones or used ones.
While there are some helpful sites about such new and also expensive devices (Pixel 7, ASUS ROG 6D/Zenfone 9, Moto Edge 30 Fusion, ) https://www.androidauthority.com/best-smartphones-stock-android-844672/ I have not found a lot comparing affordable devices like Pixel 6a, Nokia X30, Nothing Phone 1 or even cheaper used options.
Is there a list of which brands have stock android devices?
Thanks for any alternative mention.
I was going to suggest running a GSI but that would require unlocking the bootloader. Are you aware that most apps can still be used on unlocked + rooted devices? You aren't going to find anything at a fairly low price that is going to continue to get updates for the forseeable future. Pixel 6a will no longer receive updates beyond July 2025.
If you run a GSI on a Treble compliant device you can potentially continue to get updates far into the future, especially if you pair it with a Generic Kernel Image. But, again, this would require using Magisk + mods in order to pass Play Integrity so you can use GMS dependent apps, as well as possibly other solutions such as Shamiko if the apps you use specifically detect root
Thanks. While not deeply I tried the Magisk/Mods route but would like to avoid it because it gave constant update problems from the "security" checks of the Apps I would use (Banking, OTA generation, public ID services). Meaning the troubleshooting is nagging. It is a shame that for common citizen services both public and by private firms you need a smartphone completely tied into the Google or Apple ecosystem. An alternative is often not anymore provided!
I am ok if the device has no more updates in 18-24 months. So maybe a cheap Moto like E40, G22, G31 would suffice. They all have A11 preinstalled, not sure if A12/13 upgrades or only security updates are provided. Since the Cam, 5G, RAM, Memory, etc. are all not so relavant just the system + Apps and usage (maybe including fingerprint option) is relevant.
I will even try if an old Moto G5 Plus Android 8.1 (via Update) works - unfortunately the battery is damaged/unreliable on that phone.
