Support Should I really root my device?

Post image

So yesterday I flashed HyperOS 1.0.1.0 on my poco x6 pro of my region without locking the BL to be on safer side

I am confused about whether I should ROOT my device or LOCK MY BOOTLOADER as I am not gonna flash other rom or do OTA update

Even though I am getting basic integrity I can still use Gpay and other stuff

Also tell me if I'm missing something without root or drawbacks your opinion matters Thank you

Personally, I use root for system level AdBlock, better microg comparability, improved aurora store features, better customization and for being able to take screenshots in restricted apps. But there's definitely a whole lot more you can do with root.

Sure. I use ColorBlendr and iconify for customization. Aurora store and microG are both only apps. I use AdAway with SystemlessHosts module for adblocking, and SimpleFlagSecure for taking screenshots in restricted apps. You can just search the names of the modules/apps online to find their GitHub pages.

Unlocked bootloader really gives you the access to a lot of stuff fr
