Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens (www.androidauthority.com)

TL;DR

Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.

The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.

Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

yeah. like my manufacturers' 3-year-old, full-o-spyware ROM is more secure than latest clean installed lineage.

they just want control, not security. and with banking apps becoming a necessity, i'm starting to be forced to return to stock.

Myself, I use my bank's web portal via my mobile browser. Not as instant as an app, but it gets the job done.

Culprit is: I need the phones app as second factor to log in to the web interface.

Yep been seeing more of that. Will just refuse to use it on my phone.

It's been clear for at least 10 years that apps are about data harvesting not making something more useful or easier to use or more universal than a mobile website.

AFAIK that's the way it has to be done in the EU...

I'd just leave for a different bank at that point, although I get that it's not always practical.

Graphene os + a work profile + sandboxed play services allows you to have some baking apps. Ive got 3 and they all work without a hitch.
