I always favored rooting my phone, used to have a redmi 4x with magisk and lineage os. It was time for a new phone, and got a xiaomi note 10S.
On the 4x I noticed that play store did not list revolut and other banking apps, and the bank Im using said I can’t use the app on rooted phone, so I decided not to root my 10S.
However I still think about unlocking and rooting it, but I’m afraid of my banking apps no longer working.
I still would like to use my phone like I did before: NFC payments (google pay), banking apps, play store for said apps, google maps.
Is it possible to create a setup like this? Should I even try?
You can, but you’ll be playing a cat and mouse game between SafetyNet (and whatever security features your bank app uses) with software like Magisk. I used to do LineageOS on a Mi 5 and it’d work 98% of the time. Just a matter if the one week or so a year when it borks out matters to you; it certainly was enough to irk me to not consider rooting any more.
It shouldn’t affect Play Store or Google Maps though, those never had a problem.
