You can still pass play integrity with a rooted phone/custom ROM. Mine is currently passing with strong while rooted.
Who hurt you?
I switched to Bazzite about 1/2 a year ago and haven't looked backed. Better performance, more stable, I can do dev work that I'm used to without WSL and such.
The best part is I have absolutely 0 incentive to play games that come with a kernel-level rootkit anticheat too!
Depends on the gym you go to imo. More commercial gyms there's almost no interaction but more privately owned or specialty gym (powerlifting, strongman, etc) - these interactions happen a good bit.
Yeah I saw that when I was previously running into this, but wasn't sure if it would leave performance on the table. Also, I'm curious if you could run it once, turn it off so you don't process them again, and if that would be beneficial for subsequent runs of the game even after updates (assuming not since they'd probably be invalidated).
There are several Signal forks on f-droid that remove the need for Google services iirc.
RTO for the company I work for is under the guise of "culture, vibrance, and collaborative work", but really it's that they own a ton of office space/buildings and invest in said retail office space.
It also works as a "lay off" without actually firing people because they know people will leave for other jobs that don't have forced RTO.
Tell them about Arch Linux.
It's a constant cat and mouse game with Google. You can use Magisk with Zygisk enabled, Shamiko, and Play Integrity Fix (there's also a few other combos that work) to get baking apps to work. I have no issues on my rooted Pixel 8 Pro, but it's always a gamble if Google updates their end and then you get locked out of Google Wallet for a day once you update your fixes (not banking apps).
Number go up, weight get heavier, me happy.
I'm currently using APatch, PIFork in script-only mode, and Tricky Store with a leaked keybox.
If you need to spoof for apps you'll need some other stuff. For APatch there's a thing called Cherish Peekaboo, for KernelSU you can use Shamiko. These will do their best to hide the fact that you're rooted from apps. There are some detector apps that can help you fix things that apps might see, but there not entirely needed.
Also since you're not on the stock ROM, you'll need to spoof your props so just use the regular Play Integrity fix.
