    You… Dont need to root your device to install a custom rom? You can very well unlock your device, flash a custom rom, and use it unrooted. Nowadays quite a lot of custom rom come with a kernel prepatched for KSU, but that’s obviously not a requirement…

      Bruh, last device I rooted and unlocked was in like 2015. Lost the need to do it.

      Back then though, I’d never heard of a custom ROM that doesn’t have root enabled by default. Is that where we are at now?

        I still custom rom my devices to get rid of applications I don’t need. Plus root is useful for automatizing the updating of my apps from third party stores ; but Shizuku exists so that’s not the only way to do it.

        But yeah, nowaydays you need usually to flash magisk to have root, or to use a kernel compiled with support for KSU.
