Hi, seemingly I'm lazy to search and follow root/custom roms news first by first, eventhough I spent some hours searching. Does banks apps work with custom ROMs now? If I have applied all of hiding steps?
More specifically I have A52 Samsung, and I want to install LOS now. I remember in my old Note 8, custom roms suddenly haven't make me able to use bank apps.
Banking / payment apps typically won't work on Custom ROMs. And this for good reasons.

As I remember, with some tactics of hiding, I was able to use them in Custom ROMs. But months crossed, I don't know if the case still. So I ask..

Hi folks,
Some months ago I was finding my TF700 to be little more use than a place mat so installed CM10.2. I did this as guided by following the official Cyanogenmod installation guide. This left me with an unlocked and rooted TF700 installed with CWM and CM10.2 Stable. Since then I've updated to CM11 nightlies and been pretty much as happy as a pig in s$%t, but recently I've been realising the few limitations that are imposed on my rooted device by certain app developers - namely my bank and Sky.
I've tried every method I dare short of returning my TF700 to stock (and watching it quickly become a place mat again) to get my internet banking apps and Sky Go Tablet working on it but nothing has worked.
There is obviously no bullet-proof way of fully unrooting to get these apps working without loosing CM11. Was/Is there a way of installing CM11 on the TF700 without needing to have rooted it?
Is Cyanogenmod working on a way for simpleton users like me to properly unroot their devices once CM is installed or installing CM without needing to root?
A point I made on the CM forum is that the Cyanogenmod team have talked about CM becoming a genuine option as an alternative Android OS. However, until CM can be installed without root access or with root access being either completely rescinded or 100% hidden from such apps it will remain an 'enthusiast-only' OS as most 'normal' users won't see the benefit of loosing this functionality in favour of running CM. I'm an 'enthusiastic user' and even I am left questioning it.
It seems my holy grail would be a TF700/TF701 Google Play Edition.

Rooting is not the issue. PM me and I can help get sky-go working
I want to know the EXACT same thing as Sky Go is the only app I use that doesn't work on a rooted phone so I run stock (which actually suits me fine but I like to have the option to go custom)
There doesn't seem to be a solution. Though sdbags did what he could, he couldn't make my Sky Go or banking apps work on CM.
IMHO, CM remains a "nerds only" plaything. Ready for mainstream it is not.

It does seem Sky wrote the Sky Go app at a kernel level so it does deep checks for root access. Funny how BT Sport don't give a crap about root!
There is a CM11 build coming on the OnePlus One which doesn't have root out the box (CM11S) so it'll be interesting whether this comes to other devices or not...

Stock Android is definitely a better ad and content delivery platform. Users who have control over their own device are not welcome in this picture.

So that means that the app itself needs root access?

This is from the Xposed module 'RootCloak' (http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak) listing apps that don't work with it...
App: Sky Go - BSkyB - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skygo
Method: Most likely detects root via native library (built with Android NDK). Unsure of exact method, but the Java portion of the app contains "VGDRM_STATUS_DEVICE_IS_ROOTED = -41942891", and based on the library name, it's a safe bet.
Relevant Files: libvgc.so
Maybe not kernel level, but enough for the app to not work but could one day provide a hint on what to look at...

In many ways custom roms are more safe than the stock roms, because they include latest security updates and also many features . A recognised rom developer is no way interested in your internet activities but the technology giants (android king Google)
uses your data for what called analytics , ads , etc converting it to money for them
Custom roms are very safe unless you picked it blindfolded from garbage:silly::laugh:
Why would they? If you don't install any APKs from shady websites, you should be perfectly fine. Nobody will know about your favorite sites, bank passwords etc. Custom ROM is just a plain Android with a few tweaks to UI/UX.
Hi,last Sunday I bought an almost-new G930F;on monday I flashed Netherlands rom.
I've used and adjusted it some days but there are somethings than I don't like it:The rom has the face,instagram,skype apps,and Gear Vr Services.This app has surprised me with high battery use,really exagerated.
The rom has the 2019 genuary patch installed.
I would like to known which rom doesn,t has these apps,or when they were supplemented in the roms....I would like to test some Stock roms before flashing custom roms....I have a s5 and the perormance with stock 6.0 is excellent...
Your comments and experiences are appreciated,Thanks in advance from Spain!

Hello
All Stock ROMS have those apps pre-installed there's nothing you can do about it if you just want a stock ROM. However if you want to get rid of those apps you first have to root the phone then use any app remover from Google play store to get rid of what you don't want.
It is much easier to install a "Stock" Custom Rom which has all those apps removed and then your battery life will be great. There are lots to choose in the Rom section of this forum.

I'm using Literom and NFC works.
Since A11 on the official OOS 11 is pretty mess up. I am thinking of switch over to custom rom. Now I do want everything working such as the banking app and the games pass the root access check. Which rom is the best recommended for Custom Rom? In my book, I been seeing Pixel Experience and Lineage 18.1 is around for quite a while but I am not sure if the banking app and the games would work on here. So is there anyone let me know which Custom rom is the best for you?
At this point I'm genuinely thinking of selling my phone and buying a new one with good Custom ROM support.
To each their own, but I haven't seen a need for a custom ROM since Android 9. I run a simple debloat script and the phone runs pretty damn well.

Tell me when you find a comparable phone with custom ROM support lol.
I don't "need" custom roms at all but it's a fun hobby to play with and at least on my old OP8P there was some support and I could just daily a new ROM every few weeks. On the S21+ there is only treble ROMs so far. And I don't wanna lose my Knox as my authenticator for work needs intact Knox on Sammy.

Which script do you use? Could you please share it with me?
I don't think there is a need for a custom rom for a new phone atm, because everything works flawlessly and it's even better in a flagship phone.
the only phone that I will consider to have a custom ROM is Xiaomi one, because its implement an ads on its apk installer module.
why do you need a custom ROM? customization is very great with samsung Lock App. but, the good lock app is only available in some region atm.
