Rooting isn't as terrifying as it used to be, and it means you can do actual real backups and genuinely own your data.

- jhbadger 6y agoOne issue is that these days many people work at places that have BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy. This means you install work related apps on your own phone rather than being supplied with a work phone like in the old days. Many of these apps refuse to work on a rooted phone "for security" (justified or not, that's the argument)
- lhoff 6y agoIf dont know mich about these work related apps but all my banking apps work with a magisk based root. So maybe thats a workaround.
- voltagex_ 6y agoI'm pretty sure flashing a non-OEM ROM on my Note 9 would blow an eFuse that permanently marks the thing as having been modified. Certainly, when I unlocked a Sony Xperia XA2 it did something similar where it won't ever get OEM updates ever again.
