not anymore, many apps refuse to load.
want to unroot back also dont work. probably magisk module is good solution to hide the root, but it might not work on all apps. |

QUOTE(JimbeamofNRT @ Oct 21 2021, 03:55 PM) yeah sometimes it baffles me why so many non-critical app have root detection also lolbut it could be the app developer they outsourced to just throw in the root detection while develop for them QUOTE(Angelic Layer @ Oct 21 2021, 03:58 PM) Some app will not be able to load still? many apps use ready-to-use root detection libraryMaybe only on some tablet which doesn't do mobile connections. and those known library/approach there will be people develop anti detect method for it, and you can install it to bypass detection but some app implement their own root detection method that is not known to many people, then it's very hard to bypass them not to mention the nowadays apps update frequency is so high, same goes to the root detection and many banking app even force you must use their newest version of app, so you can't use it until the anti detection updated it's all cat and mouse game so end up I just give up root/jb the only good benefit I miss is with root/jb you can install proper ad blocking software |

last time yes because rooting unlock many nifty mod and features. but these days stock android is very good dy feel not worth to root just for 1-2 extra features

during early days of android.. root open up lots of feature a capabilities..
then with each iteration, a lot of those feature is polish (security side) and integrate into the OS itself.. so now with android 11 and 12, not much u get besides bypass security feature of the OS.. |

Well if you know the way around Magisk, you can still use banking apps on any rooted phone.
Yes last time people root the phones for some very basic functions, such as automating some process, ad blocking, etc. Right now many of those functions can be done by using non-root app. Root is still very useful for power users though. |

I used to root my android phones and jailbreak my apple devices. Not anymore. I need them to work consistently. Sad face.
imo, rooting becomes not worth the effort ever since rooting became hardware attestation became a thing. The good era is over. |

I used to root my phone because my phone was missing a lot of features and the performance deteriorated very badly. Nowadays, I'm not missing any features on my phone and the performance is still good even though it hasn't gotten any updates in a year. Let's see if it's still good after another year.

it not just about hiding the root status . u also need to make sure your SafetyNet doesnt fail after root.
Some apps very clever just check for safetynet status . some like Grab apps for example, very retard one . they request root permission to detect root on some phone it is not worth to root cos your camera quality will be shiet and other proprietary feature will be disable eg: SONY This post has been edited by harriss: Oct 21 2021, 05:02 PM |

AdAway, also lucky patcher~ remove those damn ads from apps that flood you with it bonus can also use for some games.
Other than that, automation apps, access to root folders, wifi passwords, etc can do more things, no downside, why not. This post has been edited by zilch28: Oct 21 2021, 05:26 PM |
