  Waydroid doesn’t intend on supporting it. It’s a piece of code that checks for evidence of “tampering” (such as an unlocked bootloader, or root access), and sends those bits of data off to Google’s servers for verification

  It’s antithetical to Waydroid and device freedom, and is used by banking apps for “security” reasons, as well as media apps for piracy reasons

  And is a massive pain for anyone who root’s their devices
