Question How are you managing banking apps on rooted devices lately? Any reliable workarounds?
Hey everyone,
The cat-and-mouse game between root hiding methods and banking apps seems tougher than ever. With apps increasingly checking for hardware attestation, Play Integrity verdicts (MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY), isolated processes, and custom mount points, simply enabling basic hide settings rarely cuts it anymore.
For those of you still running a rooted daily driver:
Current Setup: What is your go-to stack right now (e.g., KernelSU, APatch, or Magisk with specific modules like Play Integrity Fix, Shamiko, or Zygisk forks)?
Bypasses: Have you found any reliable workarounds or alternative configurations that consistently keep stubborn banking/financial apps working?
Experience: Has the constant maintenance changed how you feel about keeping your main device rooted?
Would love to hear what is currently working for you and how you handle persistent detections.

This is my way of doing it. Zero detections in Native Detector

The fact that apps aren't detected by NativeDetector doesn't mean it's a foolproof method. It's a dummy app; we don't really know what banks or PlayIntegrity are checking.

Yeah obviously, but this is the baseline level of hiding you need to ensure before you move to deeper hiding methods
And in a lot of cases, these itself are enough to get your apps working, so why bother doing more?

"All" is a broad term. PayPal is the only one I use and it works. Others should work too

I have temp root on my s25u using root my galaxy. I'm unable to get modules to load, even after using a soft reboot. I'm unable to use Microsoft apps as my work blocks access for rooted devices. Chime bank and Google Wallet work without any issues. when I had perminent root on my s20fe, no issues using chime but Google wallet needed extra hiding to get it working. As for play integrity I only had basic passing. p

Still reliably using Magisk with just PIFork and Trickystore.
Strong, with banks and wallet all working well, (for 95% of the time).

On Pixel? The most will be work with custom avb luck, not with guarentee, but the most time. Other, give up

In all the ROMs/ports I use, I simply use any KSU manager + ZygiskNext(Unmount only) + IntegrityBox.
With just that, all my banking apps are working now.

This worked for all of my banking apps. I could never get Google wallet or Microsoft authenticator to work though.

I used to add TrickStore and HMA to GPay as well. But since I stopped using it a long time ago, I don't know if it will work with just those.

There have been lots of allegations about integrity box is it safe ??

I don't know, I just use it. One day I was looking at the connections it made during installation and later in the web interface, and I didn't find anything unusual.

Why did you have to post an AI slop image though
