    Play Integrity is the biggest Stranglehold Google has on Android, and it fucking sucks that so many (including my company) use it without asking any questions, regardless of bad reviews on the play store by users that use security focused OSes (like Graphene OS)

    I HATE IT!

    The only thing that you need play integrity for is banking apps.
    I recommend buying a 50$ smartphone solely for banking and leaving it at home.

    I wish we could still adjust everything as easily as it once used to be. I just want access to the entire OS. I understand why they limit it. But they should leave an option for users to access it. I bought a Poco (Xiaomi) earlier this year and it absolutely horrible. The quick settings menu and the notification shade are separated and there’s no way to have them in one view. It also does this thing where it will wipe anything you don’t use for 2 seconds in an effort to conserve energy and memory. But you’re constantly restarting apps that way and using more energy while making it slow to use. Not to mention you can’t fill in forms while switching between apps. I also don’t understand why Google neutered the recents screen ( I know it’s been like this for around 10yrs). What’s the point of the recents screen if you can’t lock anything in it and you can only see four apps in it. And the horizontal not even stacked view is annoying as hell.

    Google really fucked us good with their grasp over the smartphone ecosystem.

    Imagine an alternative universe where phones were as open as desktop computers.

    I have no idea whether my phone passes it or not, everything seems to work.

    On rooted phone you can use modules like HMA-OSS, ReZygisk, PIF and other tweaks depending on your root method and it can be easily bypassed, I managed to bypass that on my Magisk rooted Pixel.
