Mate.. We are slightly going off topic., i was the one who distracted you about flashing and stuff. Apologies. Let's keep the thread refined! Ya.. These topics should be discussed in relevant threads/personal chats.
Anyways, is it safe to install banking apps? There's a special thread for the qn mate:
https://xdaforums.com/t/why-you-shouldnt-install-banking-apps-on-rooted-phones.4566867/
I agree with them, even at the developer level, the issues that could happen is unpredictable. So they conclude/discourage us from installing banking/shopping apps in custom roms. They expect us to be a responsible user, well informed and keeping the banking apps to firmware locked devices/ just to handle it old fashioned debit cards etc.
But at the moment i am having a banking app, installed in my non rooted custom rom. But i am planning to uninstall it in a few months, once the financial transactions/need increase.
Okay. Agree, i answered it quite passively. And it isn't the main topic/focus of this thread ain't it mate!
While flashing any custom roms, we should
proceed with caution and follow each and every step in the official website/developer with utmost care.
Possibility of bricking/bootloop should never be ruled out and
we must always have a plan B - having a twrp backup/ firmware to restore any brick that happens/adb codes to restore factory partition. And plan B is widespread - the are numerous workarounds discussed in xda forums/ other android communities -advised to read more/view more tutorials and become more confident and then flash.
Ofc we might end up in an irreversible/hard brick, if flashed recklessly/ irresponsibly/ incompatible roms are flashed.
- Ive personally bricked/boot looped my op6t as i failed to follow the LOS steps correctly. Reading xda forum of some random device bailed me out.
Hope it's correct now
