People who are using a custom ROMs. Are you able to use apps like banking apps and work apps (outlook, teams, InTune, etc.)?
This is a big hurdle for me and I don't wish to carry two phones.
In the UK, banking apps are optional, I can use website in browser.
With GrapheneOS, you can install Play apps sandboxed and with dummied google apps and control how much of the file system they can see etc.
I would assume outlook has a web client. Not sure what InTune is so cannot comment.
InTune is mobile device management that allows a company to enforce policies on your phone such as pin code length/screen locking policies, and ability to remotely wipe your phone. Since these privacy ROMs are about giving control back to the user, I suspect that there will be problems with MDM enforcement software like InTune. I no longer work for a company that uses that software though, so no chance to test it out.
Ewww. No way would I install that on my phone. It would be on a work specific phone that I don't give a crap about :). I doubt you can get much privacy on corporate mobiles with that shite :).
Well, corporations don't care about your data, they only care about protecting your own :-D Having a separate phone for work stuff is just generally good practice anyway.
This site has a crowd sourced list of apps that includes their compatibility on deGoogled Android devices.
Personally, I've had very few issues with apps not working, and banking/productivity apps haven't given me issues on CalyxOS, but your mileage may vary
Absolutely. So far I'm currently using 3 bank apps with custom rom and works perfectly. Outlook and teams too works. And I'm not an InTune user.
My banking app worked for me on both Calyx and Grpahene no problem
it all works on /e/os, no worries
I've been on Graphene for 2 years now, and all my banking apps (from 3 different countries, business and personal) work perfectly. I used Calyx for a while, and everything worked there as well. For most deGoogled OSs that allow to te-lock the bootloader, there should be no issues when using banking apps.
Yes, I'm able to use banking apps on CalyxOS (unofficial, running Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro here). With root even. I installed the Universal SafetyNet Fix magisk module by Displax, enabled Zygisk, Enforce DenyList and checked the banking app on Configure DenyList.
I also installed the Systemless Hosts module and enabled it after. But I'm not sure if it did anything.
