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

        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?
