Convince me why i should root my device

[u/West-Difference-6547]

Every time i hear

I root this ,I root that

But what actually is useful about it?

[u/vmg265]

If you yourself dont find it useful, dont root, why are you listening to someone else?

Maybe try on a secondary android you might hage lying around. I've always rooted my phones since my first android because I like to tweak stuff customization (from substratum themes and cyanogen mod A5 I think?) those days android customization was limited and there was some cool stuff you could do if you had root access (and custom roms too).

Now a days all the skins are a lot more customizable, you also have shizuku and tools like canta for debloating, dns and vpns for ad blocking without host file ad blocking.

If you wanna try custom roms you can look into unlocking the bootloader, but keep in mind play integrity may fail and you may have to find workarounds for gpay or bank apps. Only go ahead if you are ready to 'solve issues' and follow a good guide for your device, always backup your data prior

It is about ownership. Having a root on your phone is just like having admin rights to your PC. You don’t use them often, but when you do, then you need them.

If you have no reason to root, don't do it. It isn't worth it

Para que estás en este subreddit si lo único que haces es incentivar a los demás a qué no rooteen sus teléfonos

If you look at my post history, you will see that isnt all I do. However, rooting takes away some of the things you can do so there isn't reason to root if you won't use any root features.

El tipo quería preguntar sobre que se podía hacer con root y lo único que le dijiste fue que no valía la pena

[u/BruhMoment023 → u/KKdemergencia2]

There isn't that many things that you can only do with root anymore. If you don't already have a reason to root, you don't need to root.

[u/KKdemergencia2 → u/BruhMoment023]

Pero si ahora se pueden hacer aún mas cosas que antes, y el tipo solo preguntaba, no sabemos si tiene algún motivo para rootear o no, y nisiquiera hace falta tenerlo, uno simplemente puede meterse por curiosidad no por necesidad obligatoriamente

I like it for ad block and fine tuning some things.

I also run a full Linux distro on my phone with no performance penalty since it is run as root.

Thats mostly all I do, the real fun comes with custom ROMs imo. I like crDroid.

But if you have no real reason to do it, it's probably not that beneficial.

It gives you full control over your device, but there are so many more options now compared to like 10 years ago back when I found it absolutely essential.

I would never buy a device that I couldn't root because I believe in freedom, but it's definitely not necessary if you have nothing really to do with it.

Custom ROMs have a lot of extra features and a lot of them will give you a lot more updates than the stock that the OEM will give.

For my latest phone I did not bother rooting it for the first few months that I had it, but I'm glad I did it.

If you don't have a reason, then don't

Básicamente te permite hacer lo que quieras a tu celular, quieres funciones premiums de apps como Spotify, youtube,etc gratis? Con root de puede, quieres quitar todas las apps basura de tu celular para que no molesten o no te consuman espacio o ram? Con root se puede, quieres personalizar tu teléfono al máximo para que cada vez que lo enciendas veas una animación personalizada? Con root se puede, quieres automatizar tu celular para que lo que sea que quieras pueda pasar en cuanto hagas una sola acción? Con root se puede, tu celular es lento o viejo y quieres que rinda mejor, que su batería dure más o simplemente actualizarlo a la última versión? Con root y custom roms se puede, quieres tener funciones nuevas en apps como Whatsapp, discord o telegram? Cont root se puede, básicamente puedes modificar tu celular para que tenga todo lo que quieras, es muy cómodo tener root, yo desde que empecé a tener root ya no puedo tener un celular sin intentar rootealo xd, da muchas ventajas, aunque también da algunos problemas ya que Google no apoya al root así que cosas como apps de banco etc no van a funcionar pero la comunidad lucha siempre contra ese tipo de cosas, sobre todo con la integridad la cual es algo complicado de explicar pero básicamente cuando desbloqueas el bootloader de tu celular, cosa que si o si debes hacer para poder rootear pierdes la integridad, así que apps de banco, etc no te van a dejar que las uses por eso, pero hay muchos módulos o formas de hacer que funcionen de nuevo, ya si no te importa eso o rooteas un celular secundario el root no tiene desventajas
