Are any non-OEM distributions Play Integrity certified?
I'm currently using my OEM's AOSP distribution with Google Mobile Services pre-installed. However, it's nigh unusably buggy, [ \[1\] ] [ \[2\] ] [ \[3\] ] [ \[4\] ] [ \[5\] ] [ \[6\] ] [ \[7\] ] so I want to switch to a 3rd-party distribution, still with GMS pre-installed.

I'm currently using my OEM's AOSP distribution with Google Mobile Services pre-installed. However, it's nigh unusably buggy, [\[1\]] [\[2\]] [\[3\]] [\[4\]] [\[5\]] [\[6\]] [\[7\]] so I want to switch to a 3rd-party distribution, still with GMS pre-installed.
For this to be viable, I want to ensure that I'll remain able to access [Google Pay](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel&pcampaignid=web_share#:~:text=Google%20Wallet) and [my bank](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rbs.mobile.android.natwest&pcampaignid=web_share#:~:text=Icon%20image-,NatWest%20Mobile%20Banking,-National%20Westminster%20Bank) , which are both Play Integrity protected (at their point of invocation, rather than installation, like Netlix is). However, LineageOS, /e/OS, and CalyxOS do not guarantee this. WayDroid on postmarketOS doesn't even come close. Irrespective, these can all spoof Play Integrity compliance with a Magisk module, but I don't want the worry that an update to something might ever cause me to lose certification, because I need access to my finances.
I'm not directly asking about SafetyNet because I believe that it's been disabled, although if there's useful certification information about it too, I'll be glad to hear it.

RCS not working on Rooted Pixel 8 even when RCS says "Connected" and SafetyNet passes Device Integrity and Basic Integrity
**Context**: I have a rooted pixel 8. It's running chiteroman's play integrity fix. I pass both Device and Basic Integrity when using both the Play Integrity API checker and YASNAC. In Google Messages, RCS Chats say "connected". I'm on Mint Mobile. **Question**: Any ideas why, when trying to text pe...

In Google Messages, RCS Chats say "connected". I'm on Mint Mobile.
**Question**: Any ideas why, when trying to text people I *used to be able to text with RCS*, I can no longer do so? The message just fails and disappears when I hit send

Why does my phone not meet "Play Strong Integrity"?
My phone is a **HTC One A9**, I have tried to ask this question in many ways but it is not clear to me if **my phone has been tampered or not**.. It is not rooted and as much as i can see it does not has custom rom.

Undetectable emulator that passes SafetyNet/Play Integrity
Most emulators are easily detectable and can't pass SafetyNet/Play Integrity. Are there any low-level emulators that are not distinguishable from a real device and run a full Android? It should be not just a virtualization but a full ARM emulator that fakes everything a real device would have. It sh...
Most emulators are easily detectable and can't pass SafetyNet/Play Integrity. Are there any low-level emulators that are not distinguishable from a real device and run a full Android? It should be not just a virtualization but a full ARM emulator that fakes everything a real device would have. It should run on Windows.
