Google is blocking RCS on rooted devices - eviltoast

Wtf is the reasoning here, just checked and it’s broken for me also.

      Been paying a bunch on my rooted custom a13 rom in the past 2 months. 1 single magisk module (Play Integrity Fix by chiteroman) was all it took, simpler than it has been in a long time. I have full safetynet or 2/3 play integrity reliably, which to my understanding is all google can reasonably enforce on modern devices and android versions for a while to come.

      So with sadness I must say I can’t use google pay at all … cause they killed it. But google wallet (formerly google pay, formerly android pay, formerly google wallet, formerly google checkout), works just fine

          Indeed. I have found an article which I hope I can simply keep bookmarked to make it a simple task following whatever the next method may be.

          But I have also found things calm down considerably over time, google seems to concentrate their resources on recent android versions. Once a15 or a16 are out for a bit, I probably won’t even have to update the module anymore.

          All my older rooted phones have access to everything, even after years of not caring at all.

      People say it works fine. I wouldn’t know, didn’t care for the feature even when my phone was fully stock.

      I have it on z fold 4 and with Magisk, Zygisk, Play integrity Fix, Shamiko I’m able to use it fine. Today I got the message that my phone doesn’t meet the “security requirements” even though I passed safetynet and couldn’t use it. I was ready to disown anything Google, but then I updated Play Integrity Fix and everything is working now.
