"Rooting" removes a lot of Android security features, though. Instead of Apps only having the necessary permissions, apps can have ALL permissions with root and thus are a huge security vulnerability.

- ndriscoll 1y agoIf you give that app root, sure. That linked post is silly; your UI layer does not need root to grant privileges. e.g. `kdesu` asks for your password and hands it to `su`. The UI portion doesn't itself need setuid/root. A keyboard could of course keylog you. Don't install random keyboards.
