/e/ OS and Graphene OS are having trouble with certain banking apps already because "it's not the original firmware" or something. Some people have reported contacting their banks and explaining how to add exceptions for the specific ROMs, but banks don't give a fuck.
I was hoping instead of emulating a "safe" phone, that there would be some way to modify the application for it to never make the safety request.
Users of android ROMs or rooted devices are often unable to use certain apps because they make a request to google to check whether the phone is "safe" or "secure" or whatever wording they use. Is there a way to trick those apps? Pretend to be google, remove/replace the google check, or even intercept the check at runtime and return that "everything is alright"?
Game have been hacked, cracked, or what for ages. It's surely possible with android apps, isn't it?
@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net could you please follow rule 1 and use the signal group link?
The cryptpad link can be put into the description
For some reason fedia messed up and converted everything. Dunno why. Thanks for telling me.

A place to post links to public groups on signal as there is no other way to discover them at the moment.
Signal is a secure messenger that supports public groups. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a directory, so this community creates one.
The next CEO killing is only a matter of time.
You could try again. The link hasn't changed... https://signal.group/#CjQKIFR54ejfP9FUAVEhLskU6kWJRayX4E2gTk4HKlRdlw91EhCa-lPjrjN77cz-5OYrfIhE
There are 120ish people in that one and max 1000 are supported. It's been fine so far...
If you're looking for an alternative, there's a piracy chat on signal :) Currently 118 members. Small but growing
Sometimes, but that's it. Authorities and signal itself can only say "this number has account with us since $signupDate and used it last on $usageDate". Signal can't say "we know $number is talking to $otherNumber" nor can they say "$number is in $group talking to $users".
Travel across the border where you can? Ask a friend abroad to send you a SIM card? Maybe even find a service to buy a SIM from?
Go ahead and create the group then make a post. Nobody's holding you back my friend.
Same in a few other European countries. I'm doing it right now with a few SIMs. You can also go on holiday to another country, get a few temporary SIMs there for a few quid and fly back home with the "contraband". Really not hard.
What are the "popular" alternatives? Telegram stores everything, WhatsApp doesn't allow usernames, Matrix requires IPs too...
Signal doesn't collect IPs and therefore can't even hand them out. It's been requested in 2021. Here's a list of requests from authorities they were allowed to publish. I've looked through 3 of the most recent and nowhere do they reveal IPs.
I saw some threads here about Telegram and piracy stuff being banned. So, as an experimental alternative, I created a public Signal group for piracy.
Maybe it'll be useful?
Before joining ==========
Signal supports usernames and hiding telephone numbers. Here's a blog entry on how to do so. You might want to:
- set a username
- change your profile name (these are two separate things!)
- hide your phone number
