Picked up my Pixel 7 Pro Jan this year after moving on from my rooted OnePlus 6 couldnt handle its final OTA Android 11 update. Been surviving un-rooted for now, but I'm getting heavy withdrawls from the root expierience.

Great video! I started out Years ago Rooting Samsung Phones but they got harder and harder to Root so then I switched to cheap Unlocked Motorola Moto G Phones because they were good and easy to Unlock the Boot Loader with and they still are but they only give you like one or two Years of Android Updates so then I switched to Google Pixel because of that reason. I still Root because some Apps I use require Root like AdGuard so I can install the Ad Blocking Certificate into the Root System Store to Block Ads in Apps and Terminal for using certain Commands and SSH for my Raspberry Pi and if you have a Google Pixel it's pretty easy to Root using Magisk and it's Free so why not? You might as well make your Device as useful and as powerful as possible.
@@antoncorsey9501 If your Phone is Carrier Locked you might not be able to Root it unless a Developer has made a specific Root method for it. If it's Unlocked then you have to Unlock your Boot Loader in order to Root with Magisk and if those things don't work try using other Versions of Magisk such as the Stable Version the Beta Version or the Canary Version. I've found that sometimes it might not work on specific Versions of the Magisk App for example when I got the Google Pixel March Update I had the Magisk Canary Version installed and it wasn't letting me Root my Phone so I tried the Beta Version of Magisk and it still wouldn't let me Root it so then I tried the Stable Version of Magisk and then it let me Root it so it seems to depend on what Version of Magisk you use for specific Devices and for specific Android Updates at least that's how it seems to be for me.

Your device is always exposed to malware even without rooting. If you know what you are doing, a rooted phone might be even more secured than the none rooted one
I use root access to run a script for installing and running an sshd daemon, and I combine it with a bash script I can run to copy all my important data on my internal storage (pictures, text messages, downloads, etc.) to my Linux backup server via sync.

@@ancestrall794 that is correct. LineageOS has a built in SSH server you can configure, there's a few guides online for doing so.

@Barry S yes, some cases it's completely impossible to even unlock the bootloader on a lot of US samsung phones, which is annoying. I'm wondering if I flash the latest firmware if the oem unlocking feature will show up. I have an S21 FE, and my S22+ I'll keep my s22+ stock and try to mod the s21 fe. But the S21 FE still has the problem with not being able to unlock the bootloader. But it's not under warranty anymore so I don't care about tripping Knox, I wanna install stock android firmware on it, and degoogle it
There is no reason ever for a company to have more control over your device than the owner does. What you need or want to do with it is irrelevant. The fact that someone purchases hardware from some vendor in no way implies that the user must trust that entity. When a device is controlled by an someone other than the owner, that is the definition of malware even though in these cases it is the manufacturer who is loading the malware. Everything about Google devices is designed to pester you into giving up privacy and to allow them to uniquely identify you.
I've always rooted my phone. When I buy a new phone, I do a research on the ability to have root access and community support for custom ROMs. Right now I'm stuck on Redmi Note 5 Pro(Whyred) because I can't find a phone to replace it. I also prefer IPS screens, not Amoled ones.
Also with root you can unlock the monitor mode of your qualcomm wifi adapter ! This allows you to do pentesting and try to hack wifi You usually need a linux laptop to do this
I have a Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, Android 13. I've done my best to optimize my battery and performance by making my device as minimal as possible Unfortunately, there were a LOT of useless apps that I wasn't able to disable. Some are serious privacy & security concerns that won't let me disable location, deny permission access to things, or just disable in general I uninstalled all updates, disabled auto updates within the Galaxy Store, cleared all app data, and left those apps to hibernate. Despite my best efforts, those apps are still consuming my RAM. When I clean my RAM, it shows itself closing the very apps I cannot disable. Completely useless bloatware running in the background, consuming my performance, battery, and probably my personal data, too, and I cannot simply remove them By giving myself root access, will it allow me to override the inability to disable said apps? That's really all I want to do I've also considered switching to GrapheneOS, but the risks and complications regarding that OS is too complicated for my pea-brain. I'm almost certain I'll mess something up I've modified consoles, installed custom OS to my PCs, etc, but I don't have that same confidence with mobile devices
@Andrew-xl2lz I disabled unwanted apps, cleared their storages, denied permissions, removed extra homescreen pages, I don't have any apps on my homescreen other than the menu at the bottom, I use "Sensors Off", etc I optimized it more for battery, privacy, and security, but minimalism does also help performance. I keep my internal storage as clean as possible and move errything to my MicroSD. The more space in your storage, the better the performance I looked up a bunch of Android optimizations on RUclips
Yeah with root you can disable apps, even disable system apks, you can also uninstall bloatware or uninstall system apks on your phone... You can also overclock your phone Cpu, Gpu, Memory, to make it more faster... My phone has been rooted and i overclocked it and the performance was massively Change...🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@SHADOW47196 I've modified consoles and installed custom OS to PCs, but never rooted a mobile device successfully. How did you do it? When I attempted to root my last tablet when I first got it, I ended up freezing the thing and had to wait for the battery to die to turn it off since it stopped working completely. Idk what tutorial will work smh
@sambeckman Thanks alot for the video! Could you please tell me how did you get the nice interface/ui for strp x performance mod because I cannot find it (only the command line works...). Thanks in advance.
Well, if it says so, you can always unroot just as easily if countermeasures like magiskhide, Denylist and safetynet fix fail, ... or is it that you get perma-banned on every device you try to sign in to the bank app because they detected root on one phone? I doubt that.
Personally I live in a country where I can confidently assume 80% of banks don't even have security measures that even slightly cover rooted devices. Probably cus the heads of businesses aren't that tech savvy. Heck, a massive chunk of the population isn't. I've opened banking apps from 3 different banks on a rooted device and all have no idea what the heck a "magisk" is. No Denylist, no magiskhide. They all just work lol
@@toib765 nah. 80% is just right. Considering I live in Nigeria. A lot of People still get shocked that custom ROMs exist, don't know what developer options are used for, and don't even know what launchers are. Yes. launchers. It's not a mockery, it's just what I've seen since 2015
I really really really want to root my device, but something about Knox is holding me. I hate Samsung for doing this. I don't use any of the Knox related apps, but still I'm paranoid. Someone please help me try to realize it's worth it.
Same I'm also scared that Knox might break something cause the first time I rooted a Knox phone it bricked for no reason even though I followed the entire process without any mistakes.
AOSP Mods is the biggest reason why I'm rooted; the Android 12+ QuickSettings is complete dogshit, and AOSP Mods allows me to have more, smaller tiles in one panel, a la Android 11 and below.
I'm fed up with apps detecting the root. Especially security and bank/paying apps. So no root for me anymore. Only thing that I miss is automation andcall recirding without root.

2 reasons to not:

2. Not wanting to fight every app that tries to detect it
Security is a myth in today's world
2. unless you know how to undetect it

I'll keep my s22+ stock and try to mod the s21 fe. But the S21 FE still has the problem with not being able to unlock the bootloader. But it's not under warranty anymore so I don't care about tripping Knox, I wanna install stock android firmware on it, and degoogle it
There is no reason ever for a company to have more control over your device than the owner does. What you need or want to do with it is irrelevant. The fact that someone purchases hardware from some vendor in no way implies that the user must trust that entity. When a device is controlled by an someone other than the owner, that is the definition of malware even though in these cases it is the manufacturer who is loading the malware. Everything about Google devices is designed to pester you into giving up privacy and to allow them to uniquely identify you.
the only thing preventing me from rooting my phone is I can't play my favorite game when my phone is rooted 😭
Bank application will detect the device was rooted and cannot use the bank app no longger anymore
Most of the reasons are really convincing for anyone to make the move, although I have root access since last few years & can't think of getting back.
Do a video on tasker :)
0:22 A suggestion to "replace", Iconify, better and free
which phone are you using on this video ? on first shot where you talked about project themer
Nothing 1
Still not convinced
If you happens to import Oppo/Realme phone from China in made from 2023, rooting is the only to use international sim on it
Do a how to root pixel 7 video! Your pixel 6 videos were amazing!!
I've been wanting to root my phone for months. Definitely would want my a20e to get android 12 just with I had a pc or knew a way to root without a pc
I've always rooted my phone. When I buy a new phone, I do a research on the ability to have root access and community support for custom ROMs. Right now I'm stuck on Redmi Note 5 Pro(Whyred) because I can't find a phone to replace it. I also prefer IPS screens, not Amoled ones.
is it good ? . i have a redmi note 5 pro and i want to root it. looking for your opinion
@@soudaminip738if you already have a note 5 pro then definitely yess
Ips screen🤮🤮🤮
I heard if you root your phone none of your banking apps will work. Is this true ?
After watching previous video about reasons of rooting your phone, I tried it and I learned how to install Android OS in a nearly broken phone.
Also with root you can unlock the monitor mode of your qualcomm wifi adapter ! This allows you to do pentesting and try to hack wifi
You usually need a linux laptop to do this
Thanks for this!
I have a Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, Android 13. I've done my best to optimize my battery and performance by making my device as minimal as possible
Unfortunately, there were a LOT of useless apps that I wasn't able to disable. Some are serious privacy & security concerns that won't let me disable location, deny permission access to things, or just disable in general
I uninstalled all updates, disabled auto updates within the Galaxy Store, cleared all app data, and left those apps to hibernate. Despite my best efforts, those apps are still consuming my RAM. When I clean my RAM, it shows itself closing the very apps I cannot disable. Completely useless bloatware running in the background, consuming my performance, battery, and probably my personal data, too, and I cannot simply remove them
By giving myself root access, will it allow me to override the inability to disable said apps? That's really all I want to do
I've also considered switching to GrapheneOS, but the risks and complications regarding that OS is too complicated for my pea-brain. I'm almost certain I'll mess something up
I've modified consoles, installed custom OS to my PCs, etc, but I don't have that same confidence with mobile devices
How did you optimize your tablet? I want to optimize my tablet for gaming preformance.
@Andrew-xl2lz I disabled unwanted apps, cleared their storages, denied permissions, removed extra homescreen pages, I don't have any apps on my homescreen other than the menu at the bottom, I use "Sensors Off", etc
I optimized it more for battery, privacy, and security, but minimalism does also help performance. I keep my internal storage as clean as possible and move errything to my MicroSD. The more space in your storage, the better the performance
I looked up a bunch of Android optimizations on RUclips
Yeah with root you can disable apps, even disable system apks, you can also uninstall bloatware or uninstall system apks on your phone...
You can also overclock your phone Cpu, Gpu, Memory, to make it more faster...
My phone has been rooted and i overclocked it and the performance was massively Change...🔥🔥🔥🔥
You can do many things on rooted android phones not only overvlocking👍👍👍👍
@@SHADOW47196 I've modified consoles and installed custom OS to PCs, but never rooted a mobile device successfully. How did you do it?
When I attempted to root my last tablet when I first got it, I ended up freezing the thing and had to wait for the battery to die to turn it off since it stopped working completely. Idk what tutorial will work smh
Already rooted.
You can do everything except change your display resolution to 4k
I want a custom rom on my Samsung S22 Ultra but Verizon is stupid and doesn't allow oem unlocking on my US Snapdragon phone
@sambeckman Thanks alot for the video! Could you please tell me how did you get the nice interface/ui for strp x performance mod because I cannot find it (only the command line works...). Thanks in advance.
I want to root my device but it makes me concerned that if I do, it would void some sort of warranty with my current provider.
I'm still afraid of my banking app saying "adios" if I do that
Well, if it says so, you can always unroot just as easily if countermeasures like magiskhide, Denylist and safetynet fix fail,
... or is it that you get perma-banned on every device you try to sign in to the bank app because they detected root on one phone?
I doubt that.
Personally I live in a country where I can confidently assume 80% of banks don't even have security measures that even slightly cover rooted devices.
Probably cus the heads of businesses aren't that tech savvy. Heck, a massive chunk of the population isn't.
I've opened banking apps from 3 different banks on a rooted device and all have no idea what the heck a "magisk" is.
No Denylist, no magiskhide. They all just work lol
@Prajwal Beast Nigeria lol
@@toib765 nah. 80% is just right. Considering I live in Nigeria.
A lot of People still get shocked that custom ROMs exist, don't know what developer options are used for, and don't even know what launchers are. Yes. launchers.
It's not a mockery, it's just what I've seen since 2015
Amazing video!
Ya we will be glad to see Tasker as a seprate video
What’s the best android device for rooting?? One plus?? Samsung ??
OnePlus, Google Pixel, or Nothing phone
ME WITH HUAWEI P30 PRO Locked Bootloader: no
How do you root your phone if you cant, can you make a video about it
This video should be named "10 apps you can use with rooted phone in 2023".
just hearing the project Themer makes me want to root my phone.
I'd love my phone to be a paperless worth piece of metal when someone steals it, that's why I'm not going to root my phone
Please make a video on best custom ROM's
I really really really want to root my device, but something about Knox is holding me. I hate Samsung for doing this. I don't use any of the Knox related apps, but still I'm paranoid. Someone please help me try to realize it's worth it.
Same I'm also scared that Knox might break something cause the first time I rooted a Knox phone it bricked for no reason even though I followed the entire process without any mistakes.
Man that better internet tile is really tempting
@sambeckman Thanks alot for the video! Which Phone did you use in this video? (silver edge)
It was the Nothing Phone (1)
TOP 10 BEST AUTOMATION TECHNIQUES PLEASE
Thank you this informative video. If I root my phone (Poco F3) can I use Samsung smartthings (I.E Samsung SmartTag)?
Nice, thank you 🤝
AOSP Mods is the biggest reason why I'm rooted; the Android 12+ QuickSettings is complete dogshit, and AOSP Mods allows me to have more, smaller tiles in one panel, a la Android 11 and below.
I'm fed up with apps detecting the root. Especially security and bank/paying apps.
So no root for me anymore.
Only thing that I miss is automation andcall recirding without root.
buddy you need to stick to 16:9 aspect ratio for your videos
I love that most of these features come built-in on samsung phones
Might need 10 more haha love it!
Where do i find accurate information to root my oneplus 7t pro? RUclips is to littered with crap to find accurate info.
