I have a gig tomorrow and the Eventim app won't let me access my tickets because my phone isn't stock android.

They're refusing to give me my tickets without using their crappy app, and it doesn't work.

Luckily I have an old IPhone I can use or I'd be Β£90 out of pocket, but I won't be buying tickets from them again.

I hate this "Play Integrity" crap Google is using to lockdown Android and kill competition.

I'm continuing my Final Fantasy binge after beating IV and IX recently, now moving on to X.

I've completed half the game three times but never finished it! Maybe this time I will thanks to the Steam Deck!

Just finished Prince Of Persia The Lost Crown on Steam Deck - excellent game easily ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. I'm looking forward to jumping into the Sands Of Time Trilogy for the first time since I was a kid!

Sands Of Time was a pain to get working on Deck but I think I've finally done all the config, and can finally jump in!

@WeAreFairphone If the reviews for this are good I might pick it up, looks very tempting and a good price.

@[email protected] My friend who's a huge persona fan got me this but I still haven't got round to it, how is it on the Deck?

Any idea if it works in offline mode? I usually play on the train

@[email protected] Looks beautiful, reminds me of the shire!

@[email protected] I have 3 banking apps and all work fine, initial setup made me do a security check after logging in on one, but no other issues. I live in the UK though so mileage may vary.

You can find a list of compatible apps at https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/

Banking Applications Compatibility with GrapheneOS

Maintained Compatibility List for International Banking Apps This list includes banking apps that have been tested, submitted, reviewed, and verified as compatible. LIST | SUBMIT | UPDATE | POSSIBLE WORKAROUND SOLUTIONS Introduction Welcome to the crowd-sourced dataset for GrapheneOS users on currently supported devices. New visitors are encouraged to read the official usage guide on banking apps for comprehensive details about how these apps function on GrapheneOS. IMPORTANT Please read GrapheneOS’s important announcement, officially released on Dec 1, 2023:

So after debating it for a whole I just flashed Graphene OS onto my phone and it works better than I expected. All my apps work fine which i wasn't expecting. The only issue I had is with GPS due to not wanting to install google service's but I've just put that in a sandboxed user profile and now it works perfectly.

I think there's a lot of misconceptions that custom OS's break a lot of features but I've just realised that isn't true. #grapheneos #graphene #GooglePixel #degoogle
