Half of these I have with my unrooted custom ROM. Beside, for most you only need root once and can remove it afterwards.


This is a weirdly arrogant authoritarian attitude you have against other's using their devices.

By using that unrooted custom ROM, it's not like root doesn't exist anymore, you just don't have it. The people who built the ROM have root, not you. They own your phone. It's their phone, not yours.

Having access to a root shell isn't bad, or dangerous, or a security risk. Not having means not having ownership of the device.


I had to laugh at your first sentence, that incendiary reply is almost comical.


Even if a single use case requires root, I still need root on device, no way around that.
