I am surprised that Google spends so much time tackling custom ROMs via it’s Play Integrity API. If only they paid that much attention to say, curating the Play Store more, it had be much better for everyone

Got so tired of google pay breaking on crdroid that I got a credit card just to use my watch instead.

Still rocking a op7 pro on android 14.

There are different types of workaround but every single one of them is playing same cat and mouse game with Google. It works for a while, then it doesn’t, workaround is updated, it works, then it doesn’t, rinse and repeat.

I’m using a custom ROM but it’s so fucking tiring if I want to keep Google Wallet working. Fucking Google.

I just keep my credit card with me at all times. It doesn’t occupy much space, and google pay can go pound sand.

Custom ROM gang :)

I know the pain. Before I found a very obscure device fingerprint I could do a little spoofing with, I basically had to search the web like once a month for something that would let me bypass PIAPI again. It was exhausting.

Ironically enough soon after I found that obscure fingerprint I switched to paying with my credit card instead of my phone since my banking app couldn’t let me turn on contactless payments with my phone for whatever reason.

Not rooted, nor do I want to be.
