    I always wanted to try it, but my bank wont let me login if I’m not on on the devices OG OS, I used to run Custom ROM until that started to happen.

      Try the bank’s web site. Companies all push apps to harvest all your data. Very few compute services actually need them.

      There are workarounds:

      Install magisk, add the app to the zygisk denylist before first run.

      Install universal safetynet fix and magisk hide props config (modules for magisk).

      For some apps, you may have to install them in island so that they can’t detect the magisk app.

            Better in what respect? Again, we don’t know why OP needs that specific bank.

            Your comment is starting to sound like those folks who have the urge to write “Just use Rust,” or “Bitcoin solves this problem” in every thread.

            Maybe I’m wrong.

        And when it comes to apps, credit unions aren’t always better… In fact I’ve noticed they almost never are.

            As opposed to what, using mobile web? That’s a good question, yes. Some banks have the impression that an app is more secure… go figure.

              Yes, pretty much. A web browser is almost always more secure and, at least in the case of my credit union, just as fast with a very usable interface. Whenever I see these people who say “oh I really wanted to use X ROM but it doesn’t work with my banking app” I have to question their commitment to the project and/or level of ignorance. It’s such a minor/non-existent issue to make or break a custom ROM.
