I really should switch to Graphene

[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

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!

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.

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

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

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.

Be careful about mentioning who you bank with on the internet, using an account that anyone can browse your comment history.

[noctambulist@lemm.ee]

But kind of defeats the purpose of Grpahene OS.

No, it doesn’t. The sandboxing ensures that the Google services have none of the broad access to the operating system they have on a normal Android. For example Google won’t get access to your location unless you explicitly give the permission.

You're a nice person. Keep being you!

[revan343@lemmy.ca]

Fair, but good luck guessing my password

[ledgedrop@lemm.ee]

Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Original, I thought "hey, everything will work"... but then I started to look into the details. For example, Revolut, it works, then it doesn't work (due to attestation), then works (after people complain).

I really need to ask myself, if this is the kind of experience I want with my daily driver. On the other hand, I know this is just Google strong arming me into their walled garden. Man, I really hate this dystopian future.
