Stop right there criminal scum!

So Google law enforcement is finally catching up to all you hackers and cyber terrorists illegally rooting your Android phones.

Today Snapchat.
Tomorrow all your favorite apps.
Good riddance.

Kek, even if someone uses this shit they can use "root faker" apps, what a arrow in the knee.

how do they check if the device is rooted? if you have root access you can just bypass whatever check they do
>>
>>51476759
Which is true, this thing is for normies, obviously
>>
>>51476759
Read the article, and thats exactly what happens. This is a non issue for everyone, a lot of apps with microtransactions run a security check to make sure youre not rooted, and have been easy to get around for years
>>
>>51476559
but all of the how to root phone videos on YouTube are made by some teen showing off his badass wallpaper and slipknot music
>>
>>51476759
They do. Try to download and run an app called Pokemon jukebox on Google Play and you will see.
>>
>>51476505
I have to say, I've stopped rooting my phone. I see little point to it anymore. Little benefit.

The end of the article is:
>If you, however, plan to stick with either Snapchat and root, you might have to give the Snapprefs a spin. MaarZ promised to deliver an update which will remove the root checks from the app.

If somebody has root, they can hide it from any non-root user. This security update is a mild inconvenience at best

That makes you double gay

double negative is a positive, ergo I'm hetero

There's nothing positive about being hetero.

There's also nothing positive about your face, but you don't see me complaining

To idea that some app can search for other software / function installed on the android is absolutly horryfing.

Your "it doesn't effect me" attitude ensures it will one day effect you.

That's not Google's doing idiot.

It's not like apps like RootCloak Plus doesn't exist.

This is unfortunate, all I wanted to do was use xposed modules to screenshot girls' snapchats without their knowledge? Is that too much to ask?

I like to snap porn from 4choon to corrupt all the good Christian girls

So it it actuall illegal to root my phone or is this just nothing as usual?

good thing i only use mostly FLOSS apps, and have the root-friendly apps that aren't FLOSS, backed up.

also if you want to get hot revealing pics of girls this is what you gotta use.

Custom Recovery, Custom Roms.
>>
>>51482830
Roms are not the same as rooting, you can have a custom ROM with root disabled (see Cyanogenmod defaults).

I admit for recovery you do need root to set it up so sure that works, but you should disable it immediately after its done. There is a reason Google and Cyanogenmod both disable the root account OOTB.
>>
They probably dic it because it was the only way to stop people who make screenshot programs for it
>>
>>51476505
>Google law enforcement
Google has nothing to do with what app developers decide to make their apps check for.
>>
>>51476505
>illegally rooting your Android phones.

But that's wrong, you fucking retard. Rooting is just a form of jailbreaking, which is explicitly LEGAL.
