I really should switch to Graphene

[mac@lemm.ee]

Depends on the bank. Graphene has support for seedvault backups, or you could use syncthing-fork to sync the data over. Or any one of those Foss airdrop clones

[buddahriffic@lemmy.world]

And as a follow up question to this, are there any container apps to run those apps that won't work in a way that they think they are running on stock android?

[noxypaws@pawb.social]

Which banking app? I can try to install and launch it, tho I probably won't ask for your login to test that, haha

[amosburton_thatguy@lemmy.ca]

Can you give RBC (royal bank of Canada) banking app a shot for me if you don't mind?

[gaiussabinus@lemmy.world]

Just use the browser

[revan343@lemmy.ca]

You're gonna get piled on with requests now.

...on that note, any chance you'd try the Servis Credit Union app?

[noxypaws@pawb.social]

I had to enable "exploit protection compatibility mode" for the app to get it to stop crashing immediately on launch, but it doesn't complain about attestation or anything. Seems fine from what I can see without a login!

[noxypaws@pawb.social]

Can't find that app, is it "Servus" instead?

[revan343@lemmy.ca]

It is indeed, whoops

[amosburton_thatguy@lemmy.ca]

Hey thanks a lot! I appreciate that you took time out of your day to check for me

[osrsneedsf2p@lemmy.ml]

Does Stanford Federal Credit Union launch?

[noxypaws@pawb.social]

Welcome! Seems like a fairly low-effort way for me to help nudge folks towards GrapheneOS

[noxypaws@pawb.social]

I had to enable “exploit protection compatibility mode” for the app. Otherwise it just sits on the logo indefinitely. But after enabling that compatibility mode it launches fine, asked me for location permissions (which I denied), and I can get to where I enter User ID to login.

Seems fine from what I can see without a login!

[noxypaws@pawb.social]

This one also needed me to enable “exploit protection compatibility mode” for the app to get it to stop crashing immediately on launch, but it doesn’t complain about attestation or anything. I get right to the login screen. Seems fine from what I can see without a login!

I also went Graphene, and it's privacy for me too.

I really don't want Google Play Services running, and GrapheneOS gives me that option. I have three profiles:

1. main - no Google Play Services, most apps are from F-Droid
2. work - Google Play Services, and only the apps I need for work
3. "google" - Google Play Services, and only apps I need occasionally (e.g. Google Watch/Wallet, Maps, etc)

I spend 99% of my time on main, and most of the rest in "work" (need it for MFA). My phone reboots every 4 hours, so Google Play eventually stops running in the background (tried more frequently, and it was annoying).

There are other Android ROMs, but GrapheneOS has really rapid security updates, perhaps faster than anywhere else. The other projects are good too, it's just the first I tried and I've liked it so far.

We appreciate your community service.

[ramjambamalam@lemmy.ca]

I assume Graphene won't work with my employer's MDM software.

[franklin@lemmy.world]

here is a list of compatible banking apps, however the list is crowd sourced so trust but verify.

[ultimate@lemm.ee]

They have sandboxed Google services if you need it. But kind of defeats the purpose of Grpahene OS.

I have been on Calyx for a year now. Bank apps in my country totally works with microg.

[thomascrappersghost@feddit.uk]

Thank you for this answer. I’m interested in using something like this rather than the mainstream OSs.
