    Cool. Now let me legally record my phone calls without rooting my phone.

            You want it to auto record every phone call?

            Yes. That’s how my phone is currently set up. My ex-wife is a psychopath, so everything gets recorded and backed up.

            I want to love Graphene. I really do. But Jesus fucking christ, every thread the devs get involved with just seems like they’re sniffing their own farts over blatant refusal to implement a feature in any sensible way. System-wide hosts-based adblocking (DNS/always-on VPN is not a reasonable solution) and automatic call recording should be basic-ass features on a custom ROM of this caliber.

                Which customrom […] are you using?

                Stock (for now), but rooted and modded slightly because I’m a firm proponent of owning the device for which I paid a shitload of money.

                Which […] dnsblocking are you using?

                I use hosts-based adblocking via AdAway (from F-Droid). Root required. Not the reason I rooted, but a nice benefit to having full and complete control of MY device.

        And to install a custom ROM you need to unlock your boot loader and root it anyways. Do custom roms even come with a non-root option? I haven’t done it in years.

          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.
