Back in the day - rooting Android phones and installing custom ROMs were such a big part of Android. I remember so well using titanium backup and Greenify and Cyanogenmod and the list goes on.

Is it still necessary to root in 2023 though?

I have been on vanilla Android without root access for the past couple of years and at this point most root features have made it into the vanilla Android OS. What are your thoughts?

    Have you tried KernelSU? Also if you’re careful with magisk you can get SafetyNet to work, even Play Integrity API (but only Basic and Device integrity as Strong requires locked bootloader (or a really bad implementation of security mechanisms as seen here))

      As said above, don’t want to be stuck without access to payment apps and ID apps even for a day or two. Risk not worth the reward.

        That’s your decision. I experience no issues with my setup, but you do what you want.
