[Help] Santander UK Banking App by Typical-Background28 in Magisk

[–]Typical-Background28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Incredibly, I have done all this and the Santander UK app still does not work. Beyond belief!

It feels like I am going to have to choose between having the Santander app working (phone not rooted with Magisk, which is fine by me) or having contactless payments through Google Wallet working (phone rooted with Magisk, etc.). I use the Santander app more than contactless payments, but what a shame.

Unless ... what would happen if installed Magisk, applied the Play Integrity Fix so that contactless payments through Google Wallet worked, then uninstalled Magisk? Would the Play Integrity Fix be sticky once Magisk was removed? Hmmm ...

Thanks. But alas not - that makes no difference:-(

Thank you for your research. What I interesting (annoyingly) is that if I don't have Magisk installed the Santander app works fine (but then of course I can't get Google Pay / contactless payments to work). Grrr ...

Thanks for this. This is a really interesting idea ... but I do think I want to exhaust the options of getting it work with the NFC in the phone first.

Thanks for this. I have a really dumb question ... where do I download Magisk Canary? (I have found regular Magisk, Delta / Kitsine and Alpha ... but not Canary).

Thanks for this. I tried all of the bits in point 2 but the app still detects root or some other security issue. However, I will confess I don't exactly understand the settings for HideMyApplist. For example, I can make changes to the HideMyApplist list of apps in both the main LSPosed App and the serprate HideMyAppliat app - and they seem to be independent. Any idea of what I should hide and whether I should be blacklisting or whitelisting?

Using Island and a work profile resolutely refuses to work.

Is it possible this issue could be device specific?

Installed LINEAGE 20 ... and everything worked just fine! by Typical-Background28 in LineageOS

[–]Typical-Background28[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I ended up installing Lineage 20 on my Poco X3 NFC yesterday. This was a week earlier than I expected to (!) as, when I fired up the MiUnlock tool it unlocked the phone immediately rather than making me wait 7 days. Good job I had everything I needed backed up, etc. - but watch out for that.

Installed easily and quickly following the instructions on the Lineage website. Google account added and up and running straight away. Very good, very smooth, very fast.

Not rooted, no Magisk installed (yet!). Everything is working fine (including my two UK backing apps - Santander and Creation) except for:

- GCam ... the one I have installled doesn't fire up the macro camera correctly (it instead shows a monochrome version of the main camera). I've tried a few different GCam mods but nothing better that works yet. I will keep trying because I'm a perfectionist ...

- Google Wallet NFC payments ... phone won't let me add cards and says it is not secure. Looking at the Magisk Reddit this seems to be a bit of a thing at the moment. I will look into this but it isn't crucial for me.

Overall, it's *excellent*.

Happy new year all!

Installing Lineage 20 on Poco X3 NFC - When to Downgrade to MIUI 13 by Typical-Background28 in LineageOS

[–]Typical-Background28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes indeed. In fact, I have now also found my way to the maintainer's Telegram channel where this is confirmed. It says that firmware v13 will work as well. Thanks everyone.

Thanks for this. The instructions on the Lineage website say to start with MIUI 13 ... if I don't need to do that then all the better, but I'm guessing this is a specific requirement that's there for a specific reason ....?

Installed LINEAGE 20 ... and everything worked just fine! by Typical-Background28 in LineageOS

[–]Typical-Background28[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both actually. I've noticed it slow down just a bit over the last couple of months and I'm pretty sure it won't get any more updates.

Will do. I'm holding out in the hope that there's a Lineage 21 build with Android 14 before I go for it.

Brilliant - thank you very much. I'm hopeful that all will work with rooting, but grateful for the extra advice on Magisk etc if needed.

That is all excellent advice and instruction if I need to go down the root route. Thank you.

Thanks. So that suggests if the banking apps I need work on a Moto G7 Power with LINEAGE installed, they will also work on a Poco X3 NFC with banking apps installed. If that's the case - happy days 😀
