When you take a problem personally because GPT 4-o managed to solve it but you were getting TLEd.

Solved it on my own!!! (Ignore the fact that it 3 days for me to solve it by my own)

@bacteriostat Mine too that's why I just went full on nuclear with internet banking :)

Anyways try installing Geto from F-Droid, should do the trick of hiding Dev options. Occassionally it used to bug out and reset the dev options so make sure you remember the tweaks you did just in case

@Aryan Even Samsung's OneUI is something which my brain can't get around because of weird "swipe down from left" is notifications and "swipe down from right" is the control panel. I can do nothing but wonder how hard it is for folks with limited/no vision.

@Aryan Software accessibility is a difficult topic. Requires quite a bit of planning and engineering to ensure that things are accessible.

But yeah even as someone with eyes, I absolutely hate these brands trying to redo the UI just to make it look like a cheap Apple iOS clone while performing like shit.

@Aryan Yep they release the code once in a while after Android releases, the AOSP code is always lagging behind though. GrapheneOS devs were complaining about it last year or something. Also, I don't have to look at AOSP that much.

Mostly I do look at bionic (the cursed child made by forced mating of FreeBSD libc and glibc, aka the libc used in Android), and so I don't care much about the unreleased versions, and just the stable releases that actually ships on devices

@Aryan Yep root detection doesn't work on the web for obvious reasons that the web is quite open standards
@Aryan Also AOSP code isn't now maintained publicaly or else could have confirmed before it hit the release channels

@Aryan Might be not sure, I haven't looked into it. But there are bank apps that refuse to open if certain apps are installed. I am not getting the link to the Reddit thread someone posted about it a few months ago. But Google already allows apps to query for installed apps, as well as look for developer options flag for apps, so won't be surprised if they allowed apps to also query if sideloading is enabled.

(Take this as a mountain of salt)

@Aryan The added benefit is that I can hack these banking sites to allow me to paste my password from my password manager thanks to 2 lines of uBlock origin rules

@Aryan Wait till they make this option available to "trusted" apps on play store via a API and they force you to turn this off becoz sEcuRiTty

I am honestly already annoyed by a lot of bank apps doing this, to the point that I have got rid of all of those crap and now I do most of my banking via my browser
