BHIM has started flagging Bitwarden

Till now, BHIM flagged power apps (such as Shizuku) and refused to operate unless the apps were deleted.

But now the water is rising above our heads.
It has started flagging Bitwarden, a well-known password manager, just because it has accessibility permission enabled.

A few months ago, Yono SBI refused to open because an accessibility service was enabled for Bitwarden. I posted my issue as a review on the Play Store and their team asked me to contact them via email. I sent a detailed mail with multiple screenshots, but they never replied. In the end, I switched to Yono Lite, which thankfully doesn't have such restrictions.

In the name of security, these Indian apps are closing the gates instead of making them more robust. Their logic is simple: leave no chance for modification on user's device so an attacker can never attack it.

As a young person, I prefer freedom and customizability on my device. I often use less popular apps (e.g., Shizuku, Bitwarden) that offer useful features. But due to these kinds of absurd restrictions, I face a dilemma: either prioritize my daily apps (Yono SBI, BHIM) or sacrifice these daily used apps for the customizability and freedom.

Suggestions for some good-quality cables

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some good-quality charging cables (data transfer is optional). I was searching on Amazon but most of them are either from Portronics, Ambrane, or sponsored results.

That's why I'm making this post to gather your recommendations. I don't want to replace the cables more often, so quality is my top priority. Here are all my requirements:

  1. Top-notch quality braided cable
  2. USB‑A or Type‑C to Type‑C​
  3. More lengt​h is better to have
  4. Good data transfer speed (optional)

Currently I'm using multiple Ambrane USB‑A to C cables for charging and one short USB‑A to C cable from Wayona for data transfer. I want to upgrade all these cables.

Thanks

There is a Way to Use BHIM Without Uninstalling Shizuku!

Hey everyone, we all know that BHIM has started flagging some apps as dangerous and refusing to operate until these flagged apps are uninstalled. Unfortunately, Shizuku is one of them, and BHIM is flagging it as a rooting app, leaving no choice but to uninstall Shizuku to use BHIM.

I've sent them countless emails regarding this issue and requested that they fix it as soon as possible, but they haven't cared at all. This restriction was first introduced in version 4.0.17 of BHIM, and the latest version is 4.0.21. Since then, four versions have been released, but the issue has never been fixed.

I was suffering from this issue. As, I didn't want to sacrifice my usages of Shizuku for making UPI payments. Surprisingly, there is a fork of Shizuku that offers Stealth Mode. A big thanks to u/ghajni-returns for letting me know about this Shizuku fork! It might be a lifesaver for users who don't want to uninstall Shizuku but also rely heavily on BHIM for making payments.

>By using Stealth mode users can hide Shizuku from other apps by changing its package name.

About this app: This is a fork of Shizuku, maintained by u/the_djchi.

Availability: As of now, only beta versions have this Stealth mode, so make sure you have installed the latest beta version from the Releases page.

Setup:

  1. At first, you need to set it up normally (Pairing via Wireless Debugging, then Start).
  2. After Shizuku starts running, navigate to the bottom, and there is an option named Hide Shizuku from other apps. Click on it, then click on Hide. (Optional: You can create a custom package name if you want.)
  3. Then select a folder; a new APK of the Shizuku will be saved here.
  4. After that, uninstall the current Shizuku app.
  5. Navigate to the folder and install that new Shizuku APK. If the APK doesn't install, try restarting your device once.
  6. After a successful installation, pair it via wireless debugging and start Shizuku.
  7. IMPORTANT - Set up Geto, because BHIM will now ask you to turn off debugging. Geto will bypass this check and BHIM recognise that everything is normal.
  8. After setting up everything, you can now use BHIM without any issue.

Drawback of this fork: Shizuku/Sui installer will not work. So, if any apps like F-Droid, Aurora Store, etc., use this installer to install and update apps, that won't be possible with this Shizuku fork.

Alternate Way? Try using a different UPI app.

Hope it helps! Please let me know your experience in the comments below.
