- xamlhacker 13y agoYou do realize that for most Android devices, "rooting" requires finding a security exploit first to allow escalation of priviledges to root? It is not officially a part of Android and is not really blessed by the OEMs. From a policy/ethical perspective, if you have to find a security exploit first to completely own your device, how is Android OEM policies any different from Windows then?
- adwf 13y agoEvery android device I've owned has been freely rootable. Maybe there are some that are more restrictive, but all I've had to do is change a setting in a menu. Whereas the Win8/secure boot ecosystem is an active pain to dual boot, where it doesn't just downright block it entirely. I had a Win8 laptop that I bought recently, it was an absolute pain in the arse to get anything other than windows booting.
