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?

    What does it break? I’ve always had a rooted phone and outside of Google pay, have never had anything not work.

    Fixing safetynet is just another magisk module (or two, it’s been so long I don’t remember anymore).
