I, as the owner of my device, don't want to wait 24h.
I hope this will popularize the ROM community again. It gradually faded out due to mainstream ROMs having every perk of the custom ROMs but now the custom ROMs can start offering freedom, which no official ROM will offer.
Is there a tap to pay system that works on custom ROMs? I thought those really required SafetyNet/PlayIntegrity/Whatever-it-is-now.
I would rather not give up tap to pay but I will if I have to. It seems like trying to Magisk my way into getting Google Wallet to work would be a PITA.
Pardon my ignorance, but physical cards are tap-to-pay since it exists, no smartphone needed, and as a bonus, you don't need to think about your battery dying before you need to buy something. It's a problem of extreme convenience, not something you depend on in any way. An alternative could also be a smartwatch, which you can set up tap-to-pay on, so you can have a custom ROM on your smartphone and pay with your wrist.
then dont. adb is instant
Why would I need a computer to do something that the computer that I already have in my hand can and should do?
bec malware. people get hacked on android and make google look bad.
Because google is so productive about eliminating malware from the play store and all of its scam advertising. This is not about protecting the vulnerable, this is about control and forcing people into their ecosystem.
