    Having an accessibility service on android also trips its security which is just a vile practice. Its one thing that i cant use some apps to automate stuff on my phone, but what about the disabled people who need an accessibility service to use their phone. All of this stuff should be open source and use actual security instead of security by obscurity.

      fwiw you can get around that by rooting your phone, installing lsposed, and installing the “no accessibility services” xposed module.

      hell of a fucking thing just to have basic fucking functionality on your phone, but c’est la vie

        Yeah but if im already rooting i could do other stuff as well. Also if were already on this topic, rooting trips knox on samsung, would you by chance know whether they would deny my warranty in sweden like in most other countries or accept it still with triggered knox like in the netherlands?
