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.

The only reason I stopped using grapheneOS was because Google contactless payment didn't work.
Loved everything else about graphene tho

I've never used contactless on my phone, I already had a contactless debit card. Why are you, and others, using their phones to pay?

the app hides the real numbers for the credit card and gives the POS a mock id to make the purchase. it's harder to clone. also you need to unlock the phone for it to work it's an extra layer of protection

Giving a mock card sounds useful. I've looked into that for paying online but I couldn't find an open source way to do it.

Pretty sure all contactless forms of payment work like that
