Phone is rooted with Magisk Hide and MicroG for spoofing google play services. Google Wallet does not work.
I just looked into this and in the US there's basically no technical answer that I'd expect to be reliable.
You've got a few choices:
* magsafe wallet (~$10) without nfc shield with a physical card
* "purewrist" prepaid debit card (would be good for a kid maybe)
* garmin smartwatch that gets linked properly like Google Pay would
If you're in the EU there are a ton more options, specifically "Curve Pay" and possibly "Amex UK".
Very annoying.
What does not work? An LG app to control an air conditioner.
Also I have to hide root from the roku app, which I use for the headphone because it works better than the headphone on the remote.
Super important stuff, no wonder they lock that down so much.
Ok I did skip one real thing for the sake of the funny. I can't do google tap to pay. That's about it.
This is all the same on a rooted standard rom as on Lineage.
I use GrapheneOS. Thankfully I've had few things not work. Google Pay being one of them, the other is the garage door (Liftmaster)[1].
I genuinely find it disgusting. Thankfully I rent the apartment (and attached garage) so I've never given them any money. At the end of the day there's literally zero justification for a garage door opening app to brick itself if it's run on a unapproved platform. The official[2] statement states:
"Our customers rely on us to make access simple without sacrificing quality and reliability. Unauthorized app integrations, stemming from only 0.2% of myQ users, previously accounted for more than half of the traffic to and from the myQ system, and at times constituted a substantial DDOS event that consumed high quantities of resources."
AKA "we are incapable of implementing a basic ratelimit. faulty third-party clients made our AWS bill go up a bit so we are going to go on an irrational crusade against third-party integrations of any kind and expend more resources doing this than would be spent by giving users a simple API to use"

Not possible in many parts of the world where banks force you to use their app for basic banking functionality.
2 banking apps running fine.
