    Indeed ... installing a custom ROM often requires you to unlock the bootloader (as a minimum) ... this is what many banking apps look at when deciding whether to operate (or even install).

    But again, we're talking about a banking app. If it's sniffy about a not-that-old OS, it'll likely not appreciate a custom ROM.


    Yes they usually fail to work on rooted devices .

    Thanks very much for the helpful replies.

    I guess I will just carry on using the tablet for what it is convenient to me for and try to make the banking App work on a (slightly more up-to-date!) mobile phone.

    Really appreciate the guidance.
