    Do custom ROMs still have issues with some apps not allowing them? It’s been an eternity since I tried one and I don’t know if it’s a hard requirement, but at least when I did try it, I had (?) to root my device and my bank apps refused to work after that.

      Many applications especially banks require Google Safetynet to be functional, even without root. I am running DivestOS, a hardened version of LineageOS without gapps, and I can’t have access on my bank because I chose freedom. Democracy at its finest…

      I haven’t encountered such a thing yet (been using for 5 months).

      There are lot of methods to bypass those checks even now, and often many ROMs do this by default. (LineageOS doesn’t do that afaik)

      Some banking or payment apps can detect root and won’t let you use them.

      When I used to run Custom ROMs I just used magisk to hide the root and these apps would work fine afterwards.
