I’m on version 3.1.4-s on a Samsung Galaxy S9 and the release notes from 3.1.1-s state that the support for revolut app has been solved, but my revolut app is still not running. Does it work for anyone else?
Appreciate the response. It stopped working a couple of days ago FYI. But there has been a couple of moments where I’ve had to revert back to older versions and now I can’t find the older versions to install.
I’m pretty much in the camp I don’t believe any of the banks are privacy friendly but I’m kind of relying on the companies I’m investing in (I.e e foundation) to help counteract these privacy issues. Which banks do you believe are privacy friendly? Also are there any other solutions? I read official builds from eOS are boot locked so does that mean these apps will work?
Yeah, that is true. Since every transaction is possible to pinpoint, we would need to use cash to leave no trace
I have checked out Kuketz blog who compared some banks, I think they were mostly neobanks like Revolut and N26. I would say as long as a company charges you nothing for usage, then you are the product.
I would say locked bootloader is one part, the Android version might also be important.
Chances might be better this way, but the fact will remain that those Apps might work, for a while, or not.
There is no guarantee and technically there can be no guarantee banking Apps would work on /e/OS unless the App vendors themselves explicitly support their Apps on /e/OS and fix the issues in their Apps themselves. Good luck with that.
It’s not something /e/OS or microG developers can fix in the sense of a permanent solution, they can only do their best to try to work around issues once issues show up.
If you really rely on banking Apps and need a chain of responsibility to get issues fixed, for the time being you stick with a Google certified stock OS. On /e/OS such Apps are a nice to have thing, if they work, as long as they might work. The same goes for any Apps depending on genuine Google services on the phone, regardless of what a good job microG might do to mimic them.
The next best thing to a Google certified stock OS would be LineageOS (without microG) + a GApps package + Google’s registration of devices running uncertified Android OSes for the legitimate use of Google services at https://www.google.com/android/uncertified
