/e/ OS and Graphene OS are having trouble with certain banking apps already because “it’s not the original firmware” or something. Some people have reported contacting their banks and explaining how to add exceptions for the specific ROMs, but banks don’t give a fuck.

I was hoping instead of emulating a “safe” phone, that there would be some way to modify the application for it to never make the safety request.


Is it possible to trick apps that check for “authentic and secure” android firmware?
Users of android ROMs or rooted devices are often unable to use certain apps because they make a request to google to check whether the phone is "safe" or "secure" or whatever wording they use. Is there a way to trick those apps? Pretend to be google, remove/replace the google check, or even intercept the check at runtime and return that "everything is alright"? Game have been hacked, cracked, or what for ages. It's surely possible with android apps, isn't it?
