Trying to go no root for my new phone. Since it's fast,

I'm on the same ship m8, I got a honor 8 and since it had a build in firewall (my must have) I didn't rush to root it, specially since my bank became very anal recently about root, I miss adaway and xposed but I can't live without them, I'll wait for a stable pure android rom with magisk and xposed before I unlock and root

Same here. I've been using my Nexus 5x stock since I got it. The ads get annoying but most of the apps I use don't have them or I buy the unlocked version for a couple bucks using gplay money I've racked up through random Google promos. Also I'm subscribed to Google play music and YouTube red comes with it so no ads on YouTube. For my browser I just stick with chrome but I might try Firefox with unlock now that you mention it.

I hate that a large portion of apps don't work if they detect root. In some cases I understand like for banks but other like streaming apps they're just being greedy.

Opera has built-in adblocker.

Ya, Firefox with uBlock is pretty good. Though the one feature Firefox doesn't seem to have, which Chrome does, is automatically enlarging parts of the screen so you can precisely tap something small. If Firefox does offer that, I have yet to figure out how to turn it on.

That is really handy feature....I guess you could always keep chrome around for those moments.

>de bloat
> installs Nova launcher
ye ok what ever

Nothing much, really. I haven't used a rooted phone in so long that I forget what the benefit really was. I don't care about adblocking or backups.

Firefox on android feels so fucking slow compared to Chrome

Then point a good launcher.

There was some anti-anti root method to block those apps. Like snapchat and some bank apps. But i don't see how useful could be to have my bank account accessible on my phone

I am a proud user of a custom pajeet ROM with Magisk systemless root, stock Google apps replaced by microG, a double-custom kernel (renamed and self-compiled LlamaSweet), F2FS-formatted cache and data, systemless ViPER4Android, systemless DNSCrypt and a prefixed Gentoo install and I see absolutely no reason why one would not root their phone.

redbox me on Viper4Android, i keep seeing that name pop up.
is it some audiophile placebo?

>>61952899
I'd say a small part of it might be placebo since I haven't thoroughly tested every effect to see if it would make a difference in sound. Most things definitely do work very well, however, and they can be really useful if you wanna have a different audio experience and boost your audiophile autism.
It can do crazy things, like nearly bursting your headphones with an insane bass boost, without sounding distorted or applying a 1200m2 reverb effect, you would believe you're sitting in a cathedral. The only downside is that it sucks battery like crazy.

you don't belong on /g/

Adguard for adblocking and Tasker with Autotools with adb permissions, i barely miss root.

Also ice box for package disabling on demand.

DNS66 for adblocking.

Get rootcloak for xposed
