One of the things I like about eOS is the information available and its community, which is always willing to help. But of course, for this, one has to have a determined intention to get into this world of freer android distributions.
When I wanted to enter eOS, looking at the list of supported devices, I paid attention to the “Apps Compatibility” column. Trying to think like an end user, who has no knowledge about it, I intuited that if SafetyNet and RootBeer are in “yes” and in green color, it means that I won’t have problems with my apps. Around that, I searched the list to see which phones have that level of compatibility and which ones are available on the second hand market in my country. So I chose the moto g7 power codename ocean.
Now, while I’m organizing the next eOS installation workshop, I realize that I didn’t quite understand what those safetynet and rootbeer “checks” are. And I have another doubt. If those checks are indeed “yes”, does it mean that it all works, what does it imply specifically that those checks are “yes”? And by everything I mean mainly banking and / or state applications. I ask this question because it is the basic thing that is needed for an end user to think about migrating to eOS. For example, in my ocean, there is a banking app that does not work, even though I have the compatibility checks.
Thank you very much and best regards
