Since your phone is rooted, how do you manage banking apps and other things that don't like working on a rooted device? How much work is involved in getting those to work?

    I'm running LineageOS, rooted, with MicroG' Safetynet emulation (of sorts?). So a build signed with userdebug keys.

    Some banking apps just work - two with warning on first launch, and one just doesn't care at all.

    Two refuse to run and I have an old unrooted phone for them. Resulting in me being a good customer of those three banks that are not fussy.

    So try and see, perhaps things just work!

    For my part I use Magisk, and a specific module for one bank.

    The French and Belgian identity apps (France Identité and itsme) don't work though. When I really need them (which is rare) I have to use an old phone that's not rooted.

      I was positively surprised that the German passport app worked rooted without denylist.

    I don't use banking apps, but you usually can get around this with Magisk's DenyList.
