Ex applefag here.
Switched to android recently and now I want to root without losing apps.
How do I back them up? Are they stored in my google account? Will they install automatically when I log in for the first time?

I see you have vestiges of "it just werks" on you. To answer you question, it will ask of you want to reinstall your apps that does not back up the app data though.
>>62137410
root uses, 2017 edition:
- titanium backup
that's it, it's virtually useless today, just install lineage.
>>62137462
I have the sync apps/data option enabled on my phone but I don't know if the apps will get (re)installed or if it only stores app data.
I googled and some articles say it stores only app data and others say it stores both.
If it does both, I don't have to use a backup app.

I don't know what's that.
I want to flash a custom rom.

Are you even trying?
>>62137629
the only reason i see rooting fit is so u can install Incompatible apps, i.e. apps outside google play, like adblockers and shit, i hope u have good sources to download all that crap cuz u will very easy pick up a virus
also for most custom roms u don't need root at all
Just go back to apple. Who the hell needs a phone where you need to tell your grandma how to command line an ftp share to get your 4.4gb hd video file. With iPhone you actually paid people to figure out how to send it via messenger. Of course some poor kid will try to chime in with their 2 cents and say use some proprietary bullshit texting app that the other person would have to download too.How silly you tweakers are. Just hurry your ass back to the store before you void the warranty by routing it and asked exchange with an iPhone.
I have no way to prove this, but you did get this information from a hacked rom developer that was used throughout the United States and Canada on AT&T and T-Mobile devices and Telus.
Should have stuck with Apple. Android is spyware garbage.
Linux is better than MacOS, but Android has nothing good about Linux other than the kernel itself. iOS is worlds better than android.

You certainly like to throw a lot of bait onto one hook.
What phone do you have? XDA is a good place to look into rooting and installing custom roms
>>62139443
I really like the part where it's a pain in the ass to navigate because they didn't learn how much people hated the one button mouse.
Lol you bought a shitty phone. Don't expect Android to be able to do what iOS can.
>>62139700
It doesnt do what iOS can.
It does more than what iOS ever dreamed of doing

>>62139907
At it again with the retarded conspiracy theories are you? Hey, at least iOS gets updates unlike your third world lagdroids.
>>62140058
Let's all just forget that lineage is largely the same code between all supported devices.
Let's also forget that we actually get options.
>>62140145
>b-but my completely unrelated defensive mode points
The claim in pic is that Apple drops support and slows down old devices. This isn't true and the only case where they didn't bring new OS to be buttery smooth on older device was iOS9 and iPad 2/3. The rest of the devices are very well supported for 5 years. Android on the other hand requires users to fuck with ROMs on $700 phones to not get Stagefrightened.
>muh customisation
If you really need that launcher to go with your elegant fedora you might as well jailbreak iPhone. It's no more work than flashing Android.

Depends on phone, as said, check on XDA and either try a the latest version ROM or look at features and pictures. It usually doesn't vary all that much between ROMs but sometimes its the difference of looking like wXP and OSX.
If you like it to look pretty look for MIUI support.

use magisk and magisk su to root so you can roll back for updates or to use google pay
amazon pay for paid applications (sideload via browser or dedicated device) it could even be your last used phone with apk extract
Do not root, it's useless for the high risk if you you don't know wht you are doing.
Just keep you android or install lineage OS (take time to see what is it and what are Gapps before installing).
Root is a meme.

This guy doesn't even know what he's arguing against, yet he wishes to play me off as a fool.
Congrats iTard, you've done better than I ever could.

Your phone will be part of the botnet until you fucking break it. You cannot "liberate" it.
>>62143417

>don't root
You fucking retard
>>62140388
Android is at least partially free software which allows you to run programs not approved by the vendor
>>62143417
magisk allows you to do a systemless root which is only beneficial and can be removed seamlessly to revert to stock
the term root is often associated with jailbreaking by iphone users but theres actually a big difference
rooting is just gaining access to the admin account instead of a guest account
google didnt invent android and the source is open so they cant control your device legally and lock you out
the only issue is warrenties but i import my phone from amazon
if you dont have root its possible that a exploit could gain root access and have higher priv then yourself
thats why its important to obtain root right away and lock down your device for security reasons
ie dirtycow stagefright ect
>>62143848
>they cant control your device legally
lmao
Most of phones come with locked bootloader, no root access and google play services. Also there are absolutely no phones which allow you to unplug the modem which is essentially a remote control device
