We need another lawnchair setup, or you could put it in your app pallete.

[@dan3817]

Thanks for covering my No Storage Restrict module, i generally recommend the Lsposed variant for most devices as it's the more stable and maintained version Anyway, thanks for the great video

[@plushyneko]

Would it work with kernelSU?

[@dan3817]

@@plushyneko The Lsposed version? Yeah, the Magisk version? Maybe not, might be necessary to create an app profile for the external storage app

[@azmathchoudhury8702]

Love your videos always Sam, always great qualify production and content

[@chuff009]

It's been a long time since I've rooted a phone, but you've convinced me to do it again. Especially with the Lawnchair 14/Quick Switch option to get rid of the annoying at a glance and Google search bar. Great video, thank you.

[@AakashKumar-tn6yh]

Two methods of rooting you can use are: 1)Magisk 2)KernelSu (It's modern and better than magisk tbh)

[@nikosapostolakis9655]

where can i find quick switch?

[@s1nistr433]

If you don't root your phone you don't truly own the phone you paid for. Android is typically a locked down containerized OS that lets you do stuff under a single user but all real control over the os is locked down, it's like having Windows but without any access to the admin account. The OEM can implement any backdoors, spying, and remote-access to the phone they want. There's also things completely locked off to you like altering device ids / device info, kernel params, truly removing system apps, etc. That alone is a huge reason to root, it would be nice for the customization stuff of the old days of rooting to be around but even without that rooting is extremely important

[@paulsayson]

6:27 There's a super powerful alternative to button mapper call Physical Button Master Control. It lets you do everything that button mapper can, but also remap the power button and set per-mapping delays.

[@saifuk2179]

Adaway and revanced are another two which are great. They do run without root but with root they integrate a lot better.

[@learner745]

haha that was exciting. Thank you so much for this amazing content. I loved the storage restrict module. "G'Day! Sam."

[@rohitagni]

If you're in India, I still won't recommend rooting right now. There's been a recent push of root checkers in applications that aren't even worth it (food/grocery delivery apps). Hiding root access is still not enough in such scenarios. I love rooting my phones as well, but now my hands are tied.

[@FunThingsAreFun6969]

Kernel SU is a great alternative if you are in this kind of situation. I used it and no apps detected root ! On the downside, most magisk modules don't support kernel su. Also unless you have a device that was launched recently (to be specific, with kernel version 5.10 +) it will be a pain to set this thing up. !!

[@binku09]

hey man thanks for the tutorial to install PixelOS on my RN10PRO. Loved it, and still using it. I wanna root it so bad but I'm scared about these things. Why does a food app even need an unrooted phone 😢

[@helpsulaiman7144]

magisk delta(kitsune mask) is a magisk fork that focuses more on hiding root and works perfectly for me. Try it out!

[@atharvazanjad9430]

Might I ask which apps? The only apps I am unable to run are government apps such as madhaar and digi locker (which I might be able to with some work around) but their web interface are much better

[@helpsulaiman7144]

@@FunThingsAreFun6969 Magisk Delta, also known as Kitsune Mask, is also a good option. It is is Magisk fork specialised in hiding root and works for every app including food/grocery apps, banking apps, digital lockers and many others that I was not able to access using the normal Magisk app.

There's also another module that's really cool, it's viper 4 android, it allows you to have really good audio quality by tweaking the settings even on low-end headphones.

[@bdonovable]

Regarding Button Mapper: I remapped a hardware button to turn on my flashlight on my *non-rooted* phone and am able to trigger the command via button press with the screen off. I had to do some adb commands to utilize this feature but I did not root my phone. I do *not* have a Pixel. Not sure if this makes a difference.

[@chibuikeoffu]

Nice video, If you have a samsung, goodlock covers most customizations. You didn't mention some crazy parts about rooting such as Lucky Patcher, Busybox etc. My main phone is not rooted, I use a rooted android emulator to have fun 😉

[@satyamkeshari2012]

if you have 4 year old phone (2020 u have purchased) and it's 2024 there is no software update and many glich by company announced than u can root and enjoy your high performance using full capacity of your hardware

[@anthonysmith1246]

Ive rooted every phone I had since the Droid 1 and I was starting to think its getting harder and less worth it but since my 7pro screen broke I got a new one and really wanted to remove the navigation bar at the bottom to stop the burn in that happed on my last 7pro and I did! I also use Fluid NG for my navigation, great combo.

[@Sphinx-19]

ive rooted every phone ive ever had, but that ios sounds, am i supposed to rename it as an apk or should it be a .zip because trying to install it as it is gives errors and its greyed out in magisk

[@jordanlavenuta]

Thanks for the video Sam ! Is it worth rooting it when you have a Pixel 8 Pro? You do loose all OTA updates right ??

[@estiennetaylor1260]

You'll lose all OTA updates and have to re-update manually every time.

[@ranawaqashaider]

I have question unrelated to the this video but I think you would have known it. How can We upgrade system apps with mismatched signature without root?

[@N3tigen]

I Heard nothing phone 1 is good to root and it's cheaper right now. So in your choice which custom ROM is best in 2024. Please suggest 😅

I wanted to root my new Nothing Phone (2) as soon as I got it bc it doesn't allow changing fonts natively and going from my old Mi 8 Lite it was really unusual having that thin stock font. I still didn't do it bc didn't wanna lose NFC and also I was too lazy to do so. Now I want to root my Nothing even more. As soon as i get back from school I will, thank you!

[@djo5296]

installed quick switch and lawnchair 14 and it still crashes for me. wondering if there's a config before i do anything

[@IanPlayzYT7523]

Question:Can you permanently change the system lock screen on root, like customize the home screen and deleting the system lock screen for good? because the themes app on my vivo phone literally is greedy with themes and I have no choice to pay. Question 2: Can I edit the android literal system assets so that I can have a permanent charging lamination with just a module and not a third party?

[@IndiaAssassin]

vivo doesnt allow bootloader unlocking i think and that sadly means no root

[@IanPlayzYT7523]

Can I use adb for bootloader

[@Its_varshan]

I really like this video but if you can recommend or even make a video on "how to root" that would be very helpful..

[@rigierish3807]

He can't do a single video for “how to root an Android” because there isn't a single universal way to do it. Or rather, there is a single one (actually two but the second is a rare case) to specifically root the device with Magisk, but first, Magisk isn't the only one, KernelSU also exist, and second, the “hardest” and most annoying part is doing everything that surrounds the Magisk part to be able to root your device, which includes before rooting, like unlock the bootloader, with each phone having its specific way of doing it, like finding your ROM and extracting the boot file from the payload.bin file to be able to patch it to root the device, etc... If you're really determined to do it, best thing I can redirect you to is xdaforums, where there are custom ROM, some mods, as well as guides to root your device, unlock the bootloader or flash a custom recovery, notably TWRP, and that for each device.

[@ScarRstudio]

Adaway is the 2nd app to install after rooting
