It's bothering me so much that less and less phones are compatible with LineageOS or Postmarket or any custom ROMs.

There's now some "safetynet" layer or something I hear, where any sort of commerce apps will just refuse to open if they detect a "tampered" device.

You might say "Just use the web view then", sure, but it depends highly on their implementation whether you'll have a smooth time or not lol.

These security features sound nice in principle, but if you already know what you're doing enough to flash a custom ROM, it's basically just another thing to lock your phone down and force obsolescence when they decide to just stop patching it to force you to buy more e-waste.

I wish there was more I could do to support Linux phones...
