Does it support banking apps yet? Last time I tried it anything to do with financials, Bitwarden, or 2FA just didn't work at all.

Edit: and I've heard you can get Google play store on it now right? Cause I'll need all of my apps back

I use multiple banking apps on my Graphene phone, the only thing it doesn't support is contactless payments.

Yes it does? At least for me the "Sicher Bezahlen" app many German banks use for NFC payments works flawlessly.

Or are you referring to the proprietary Google Pay software? This isn't supported I believe.

Oh that's unfortunate, but I guess it wouldn't have Google wallet on it huh

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

You can get a watch that you run Google wallet on instead but to be honest I don't really miss contactless and just use my physical card instead.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Some phone cases let you put your card on the back of the phone and you can use the NFC chip like that, if you are still missing that feature.

Yes, I've used all my apps pretty seamlessly. I had to turn on "exploit protection compatibility mode" for some of them like banking, but they work fine. You can get Google Play, and it runs in a sandbox, but I use Obtainium and Aurora Store (Aurora in particular would be of interest to you, it's just a frontend for the Google Play store which allows anonymous connections: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.aurora.store/). I moved to Aegis for my 2FA because I was looking for a way out of the Twilio/Authy ecosystem. I don't play games on my phone, so I can't report back on how those work.

Every single banking app works fine, just have to give it full permissions.

Okay good, last time I tried it (around 2020) none of my banking apps worked because of a cert issue or something like that I believe. And I don't use small banks just PNC, Capital One, and and JP Morgan.

I douse Google pay though. I know graphene doesn't come with the Google apps but can I install them anyways?

Edit: and 2FA apps had issues too. Microsoft Authenticator and Cisco Duo just refused to run.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

All Google apps work, Especially if they're installed from the play store, which I try to avoid at all costs. Duo mobile works no problem, haven't tried ms or Google authenticator. ChatGPT app still doesn't work, but Claude does.
