Nope. Android phones now have hardware attestation, good luck faking that. If you install any of the stuff you mentioned, you've "tampered" with your phone. Hardware remote attestation will now fail and apps will no longer run.
My bank app complains about developer mode for god's sake. If WhatsApp starts requiring attestation, I will have the "choice" to either give up my freedom or enjoy my $600 paperweight.
Sorry you are denied a workflow, but I hope I never need to install a banking app on my phone. Smartphone is now such a liability for the power it has over my life. Unreasonably nervous about what happens if it breaks/lost/stolen.
Had no idea that was a thing. Thankfully my current phone appears to be old enough to not make use of it. That sucks, can't wait for the mobile GNU/Linux ecosystem to mature.
It was a shock to me when someone here told me about it. Android is finished. My plan is to buy an iPhone and try to port postmarketOS to my current phone instead of insisting on Android.
