I have significantly degoogled a phone using the UADB tool that's been mentioned on this forum before, but there is a prominent banking app in my country that seems to do a check if the Play Store package (com.android.vending) has been installed. Even if you install it from an official source and then remove the Play Store, it blocks the app. Has anyone ever cracked a workaround for this? The service is pretty essential for some day-to-day things here and has no web app.

would love to hear the thoughts of others. i've just read it and my take is its the first great millennial novel despite being published in 1989 by someone born in 1945. central millennial elements include:

• pre-empting much of post-DFW mcsweeney's-core (grotesque sincerity with epistolary methods)
• portland, oregon
• pre-empting the aesthetic fixation with sawdust and brass vaudevillian circus stuff (arcade fire, beirut, edward sharpe, elephant six album covers, burlesque revival etc.)
• lengthy discourses about beauty and the body and self-abnegation
• this passage: "It is, I suppose, the common grief of children at having to protect their parents from reality. It is bitter for the young to see what awful innocence adults grow into, that terrible vulnerability that must be sheltered from the rodent mire of childhood."
