General Cheetah ROMs list [Total: 18 as of 11 April 2023]

The safety net checker will fail cts always on a unlock bootloader if I'm not mistaking. But all bank and pay apps should work

I'll try it again tomorrow and see. Anyway the lockscreen pattern dots can be closer together?

No thats all they go

Random thought, do I need to install magisk etc? or does any of these flash options make a difference just in case. 13.0.0 (TQ1A.230105.002, Jan 2023)

Edit: Tried again with same exact Jan build and steps and still no good with Gpay stating phone doesn't meet security standards

 

[NepoRood]

It's not detecting the sim lol APNs won't help with that

That's what I get for "posting under the influence", I apparently read it wrong, lol

Which ROMs support 32-bit apps? I've been on Corvus OS since November, since at the time, that was the only one that advertised that 32-bit apps were supported. I know I can follow the tutorial in this forum, but less room for user error if it's already included. Tempted to try Evolution X but don't want to pull the trigger if I can't install the old apps I want.

I believe just the roms that were by Hurt(unofficial) and AICP. Not too sure about Bliss, but if you're just installing 32-bit apps, why not just use the Magisk patch to enable 32-bit apps? That works completely fine, unless you're looking to use V4A.

If you are using V4A, I definitely recommend trying Wavelet. Haven't used V4A in over a year, but with Wavelet being a thing, I don't see myself needing to use Viper whatsoever.

Thanks! I'll give it a try. V4A is not essential for me

Perfect. You can use the method in that thread to achieve 32-bit support for when roms don't come with it.

Your very first boot has to be with the patched image using the Magisk from that thread.

Official evo supports 32 bit apps.

Someone should make a thread like this for Pixel 6/6 Pro

 

[drmorrowa2]

Official evo supports 32 bit apps.

Excellent, I will try that first.

 

[w_tapper]

Excellent, I will try that first.

It's a great rom, lots of attention to detail and useful features, can't speak for stability as I have a pixel 6 pro (perfectly stable on it btw) and don't know how stable the pixel 7 rom is

As of right now, SafetyNet is failing CTS Profile Match for everyone. People on Graphene probably don't care, since that has always been an issue (because I doubt most devs are going to bother implementing their special version of attestation). But yeah. Everyone else, including myself, now show failing CTS. I shouldn't complain, but I'm still gonna. Crap like this makes me want to invest in a PinePhone just to spite Google.

[Side note. No gender-neutral emojis, AND I can't openly cuss? I would understand if it were inflammatory but come on. Cussing is a natural and casual part of conversation for most people.]

My man Koen figured out the ROM side fix for us late last year and he's been kanged more than once, but that's not relative.

All this fuss about CTS still amuses me, it's never been an issue for me, not once. That being said, I know everyone is different and we all have "our way" of doing things. I'm not a "power user", I use my phone as a phone, mostly. Include text, email, and internet access while out in the field and that's about the limit to my usage.

The security features implemented by the Google are for the benefit of end users, not those of us in the modding community. It still blows my mind how people put literally everything on their phone. I guess I'm just old(er), my life is on my PC...

I digress, apologies, I recently read Android is running on an average of 2.5 Billion devices (leads with 40% of market share). I tried to go back and find that article, but it's lost to me. Either way, if that article is even remotely accurate, that's a sh!tload of devices!

How many of those you think fail CTS because of an unlocked bootloader?

My guess is less than 3%, if it's even that high. Yes, that would be us in the modding community, lol

Every cycle a few more obstacles pop up for custom ROM developers, workarounds and reverts to AOSP code are required to make things work "like last time". Other side of that coin is stock Android improvements are getting better and better, almost to the point of why bother with modding at all.

Almost
(That's both my pennies)

I literally would not care at all were it not for my dirty Pokémon GO cheating modding habits.

HOWEVER. I've noticed it is still loading up even with failing CTS, so I'm not too upset anymore lol

Because ultimately I agree with you, I try where possible to keep my most confidential stuff exclusively quarantined to my computer.

Do we need CTS for gpay?
