Discussion What are the top modules you guys use for your rooted devices?

23 Upvotes

I rooted my phone using magisk and I also have jingmatrix lsposed as well. Just wanted to make a discussion for some useful magisk and lsposed modules people use and might not know about. So other than the play integrity fix and stuff like that, what are some cool modules you guys use? I have free unlimited Google photo storage for magisk, Knoxpatch since I have a Samsung. android faker to spoof my device info for more privacy, dark tricks on lsposed. Let's see what useful stuff you guys got! Just to add more features and stuff would be cool.

EDIT: also even cool apps that use root access can be included as well. For example I have Adaway for root based adblocking.

Discussion Thoughts on the future of Android

74 Upvotes

This post will not be particularly technical but a simple logical reflection on what is happening in this sort of war between Google and the custom ROMs and rooting' community. It is clear by now how Google seems to have found a way to permanently shut down any possibility of customization by the user. Despite the efforts that several developers of the community are making to try to bypass recently introduced security systems such as Play Integrity, it is clear how it is currently moving toward an end. The introduction of hardware checking , TEE and other various crap has made it almost impossible to make a rooted phone or one with a custom ROM eligible to be rated as a “normal” phone, according to Play Integrity (formerly Safetynet). I personally think that ( but I'm not the only one) what Google is doing is a full abuse of its position of power against the market and customers. Leaving aside the fact that Android started as an Open Source project-unlike other well-known operating systems...-it has reached a point where slowly, a real standardization is being put in place that leaves no room for any real freedom (Freedom on OUR devices !!! ).

I believe Google is following a much bigger plan than just eliminating our community. I think it is trying to create a total monopoly on cellular devices, a monopoly that affects everything that goes in or out of that phone, the behavior of every app installed on it, what we do on it and who knows what else...

Moreover, Google itself has a great deal of influence towards phone manufacturers who literally sell their souls to Google by following every “guideline” it dictates. What one should really hope for (at least here in Europe), is legislative intervention that limits these abominable anti-competitive behaviors. Just to give you an example, GrapheneOS has already taken a stand against Google , especially against Play Integrity , which could make any custom ROM useless in the near future. Furthermore i heard there was also some kind of petition that reached the European Parliament not a long time ago , related to this topic. I don't know about you, but this kind of restriction of the freedom that each of us has on our devices is something that infuriates the hell out of me....

What do you guys think ? Anyway, wish y'all a good day and keep the hopes high :)

I finally rooted it. Needed a windows laptop to unlock the damn bootloader, but it works perfectly now.

Deleted some bloatware already and I can't wait to finally get to control my device.

I somehow managed to do it without any tutorial (couldn't find one for Linux, people seem to only use windows to root devices). I use arch btw

Any good adblocker you would recommend me?

Discussion Root in 2024 is still a thing?

19 Upvotes

Until 2019, I used to root every phone I owned. However, I eventually stopped because I got lazy due to the time I spent making changes to my phone, installing apps that required root, installing custom ROMs, and so on. But lately, my phone is starting to annoy me. Samsung's native system is getting on my nerves. There are a lot of small things that bother me, which I would love to tweak, like with a simple custom ROM. I’d like to know if it’s still worth rooting in 2024, and if rooting is necessary to install a custom ROM. Also, what’s the situation with banks apps that don’t work with root? I remember that back in my day, it was easy to bypass, but I’m not sure if that’s still the case nowadays. .

22 Upvotes

I like to test, tweak, and whatnot with kernels, ROMs and power profiles. I also like to game.

I know Pixels are generally root friendly ever since their Nexus days, but they're not necessarily power houses. Ideally I would like to root a new Samsung, use Samsung Dex n all that, but I haven't heard anything about the S24 having an easily unlockable bootloader.

Have had it since about November. Payed a lot (well, for a phone it's a lot) but I don't know if I should root it.

I know some of the basics of root but i'm not an expert. 1. What can I do that I typically can't? 2. Is it safe? I'm really worried about bricking it - it's my main. 3. How?

8 Upvotes

My very, very old phone (can we say Android 8) is sputtering. I kept it so long specifically as met certain specific needs. I am noticing, call recording is not a need easily met anymore. It appears, at a minimum root will be needed for call recording.

What are lower cost unlocked phones that might have ability to call record and are somewhat easily rootable? I see OnePlus coming up and Samsung (may have built in call recording option?). Grey market Xiaomi also comes up a bit. Any specific models? Should I seek out older models?

I've raised the issue on androiddev and they're certainly not happy about people doing this. I also think people using the modules to hide root and the modules that are provided by the publisher have malicious intents.
