Need to use Nova Launcher 8 beta cause release version got home screen issue, BUT DBS app detects Nova Launcher as malicious cause need to give it permissions.
Then need to install Shelter to isolate DBS app as work profile.
But can't use fingerprint to login.

Anyone got solution for the DBS no fingerprint option for work profile issue?

It will be the same for any sideloaded app that's not on their whitelist. Install the regular one from play store and request to enter beta program to get v8 and there will be no issues with all the bank apps

Thanks, that work! Itchy hand went to install their own apk, don't work.
Already in beta but didn't update from playstore.

I have other 3rd party apps working but only Nova Launcher requires restricted permission.

it mostly has to do with the gesture/reading onscreen info permission that banking apps are worried that will cause them headache ($$$) if user gets scammed. I was literally was so pissed that i took money out of the first bank that did it. Now every banking app is doing it, I had no choice but to revert to v7 until beta was released via Play store. The SG pools also has to be sideloaded because it isn't allowed to be listed on Play store and bank apps didn't have any issues with that.

Adaptive Charging: It helps extend battery lifespan by adjusting charging speed based on your usage patterns. ON
Adaptive Connectivity: It may optimize your network connection based on usage, turns on 5G only when your app needs increased speed, like when you stream or download videos. 5G sucks. OFF

This is the best TG ive tried for P8, coating is decent and best part is zero lifting at the sides. Has a bit of a complicated installation process and I didnt get it right the first time, but even with my manual repasting it aligned quite well. Only downside is its only sold in JP afaik. Bought for 1000yen+ (1 pc) from Bic camera but Im sure you can find it in Yodobashi as well.

Nice I wanted to buy but I scared it's not full coverage.

Any pictures of the coverage on your phone? This one is with or without cutout for front camera one?

No camera cutouts at all, not full coverage either, has gaps all around. I dont mind the gaps as long as got no lifting, that one really cannot tahan haha

Also theres a higher end version that is 2x the price but they claim its gorilla glass. Didnt buy that one though

Nice, by full coverage I mean if the TGSP extends to the bezels or only cover the screen real estate.

But looking good, I prefer my screen protector to have no cutouts so it looks seamless. Pixel series a lot of Chinese TGSP brands like to have a cutout for the front camera. Also dunno why.

Oh if thats the case then no, this isnt full coverage all around. The top, bottom, sides all cover the screen just nice only. The bezels are all uncovered, maybe thats why zero lift as well.

Almost wanted to hoot the one with gorilla glass one but I think should be not much difference.

Yeah its probs just better durability and scratch resistance while coating most likely same. Don't see the point when normal TG already quite durable.
