Then you run far, far away from that app. Even on an Android phone I don’t trust garbage apps that require locked bootloader and no root. There are plenty of banks out there and paying with your phone is not a necessity.
I went through probably 20 different iterations of keycaps and got close to one I liked, but haven’t gotten back to finishing the project since I haven’t been using my PinePhone much. I think the main remaining thing is to make an Enter key model and a Tab key model. I want to get back to that project eventually but haven’t had time.
Not really, it’s been a hassle to get them consistent enough to match the default ones. The small scale makes printing them difficult even after I got a resin printer for the project. I settled on a two piece design that works pretty well but the resin material is not as smooth as the injection molded stock caps.
I want to do a follow up eventually. I have some free time next week, might try to finish up the keycaps. I have the standard size cap that most of the keys use done and a spacebar that is the right shape and size, just needs attachment points for the stabilizer.
LineageOS doesn’t support Play Integrity either. Custom ROMs seem to be doing just fine.
There’s the stories about “I have to have Windows because the school’s exam proctor software requires Windows and doesn’t work with Linux” but ultimately that’s not the thing that stops the year of the linux desktop. And banking apps won’t be what breaks the year of the linux phone.
Thats a fair point, i never tried banking on waydroid. Most of the stuff i would need on the go seemed fine though.
Although, as far as tap to pay goes, i could see that getting baked into linux properly. I dont believe apple pay and google pay tap pay are using a different protocol. I may very well be wrong though.
It’s not about the protocols. It’s about business. We can have all the tech we want but until someone is willing to establish relationships with and pay the 3-4 middlemen involved in every single card payment it ain’t happening.
What if the app also want’s a locked bootloader, Play Integrity, and whatever else. Like a banking app or Google Pay?

Hey, do you still plan on working on your RGB mod for PinePhone’s keyboard? It looked really awesome, but it’s probably a huge amount of work.

Wow, that sounds complicated. But I’m curious if your keycaps would work better for typing than the default ones.

Interesting! I would love to see a progress update video some day, even if the project isn’t finished.

Cool!

I can use both just fine with unlocked bootloader on an official lineage 21 rom
Burn it with fire
