It's an even worse crime to be running custom ROM on your phone or basically not just running whatever it came with with bootloader locked.
Yeah but I don't think they'll go for since there are far less people using custom ROM than using an adblocker
They're already doing it. See custom ROMs and Google Wallet. A lot of banking apps refuse to work. Then there's random apps like McDonald's that refuse to work on custom ROMs or if the device is rooted.
Banking apps I kinda get even though I think it's ass, but McD's??
The comedy is that my banking app refuses to use biometrics (after update), because it says I have ""not original"" ROM, which is false. If this goes further I will flash firmware just for that app to think I have original ROM.
I'm in a weird position where my Google Wallet refused to work with my original ROM (MIUI) since I had unlocked bootloader, but my banking app worked. It used to be that both worked with my custom ROM, but now Wallet doesn't work. I fixed that with Magisk + Zygisk + Play Integrity Fixer but then my banking app stopped working.
Fucking hell, just let me use whatever I want
