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?

    It depends on the phone. I would probably root a Samsung phone if I had one but my Pixel 6 has everything I want/need so I don’t bother.

      Samsung phones have way more features than pixels though

        Do you mean software or something about the hardware? I’ve had a couple Samsung but never a Pixel, so just curious.
