I hate Magisk! I won't de-encrypt my phone! NEVER! It seems every new phone requires root through de-encrypt, what can I do? What are the new phones that don't require de-encrypt? Are Samsung's still ODIN rootable? Are there still phones CF-Autoroot-able, or kingoroot-able, or KingRoot-able...

My phone, the MetroPcs variant, is eligible for a system updatd. Does anyone know what this will do to the phone? Will it slow the phone? Will it add security aka spyware? will it take long? how many megabytes is it?

Charging faster by shorting data wires in charger cables.? I've seen recently on videos on youtube the practice of slicing USB charger cables and shorting the green and white wires ( slicing them, covering them with electrical tape)- the idea being the device's recognition of a possible data...

Do you have to de-encrypt the phone for root? I am thinking of getting an Aristo2, currently using the MotoE4 (which I hate!), and rooting that requires de-encryption (I love encryption!). This is the MetroPCS version your talking about? Thank you...

Did anyone get root for this machine yet- some two and a half years later...?...

Night display works great. I had the moto application disabled. Still no UI tuner...

The night mode feature has disappeared. I had it working for awhile, the setup wizards when first using this phone allowed me to activate it. It disappeared! I liked it! I've tried the gear long press and it does not work on this phone. I've held the gear down 10 seconds, I've held it two...

Problem! I just entered a contest for new earbuds. I chose to get the newsletter subscription and the form email confirmation told me that my email was [email protected] This is not my email. Never seen it. This is the email xda used to send to MY email inbox? Is this a hack? To make...

I have received this messages numerous times- not sure what the formula is. When I tap the "check convention fulfillment" there is a very brief toast message reading "operation condom is missing", with a lot of words beneath. I found mention to operation condom here-...

Is there anyway to put the battery percentage at the top? I can't figure that out and it's driving me nuts. I also heard there is a night mode display easter-egg menu in settings in 7+ to enable night mode. I can't get that working either. Rudimentary questions...

Is there a simple way to root this phone? Without deencrypting, and flashing SuperSU, yada yada yada... I just need basic root, for now... (Are all phones to be rooted this way now, except for the Samsung ones?) Also, I can't get Vlc video player working- the installer states that it's...

How did you install xposed? What version? Did you use FlashFire? What settings dud you use? I rooted the phone with Kingroot- though BookCase, who linked your post, told me I needed to root with Kingo root. We will see if this was a problem or not... Thank you.

Whoooh there! Root with kingoroot? Is that an issue? I rooted mine with king root with no problem. Is this going to be an issue with flashing xposed, or did others have issues obtaining root with kingroot?

Has anyone been able to install xposed modules successfully on this phone? i am very interested... Also some specifications website- phonescoop.com, or the like mentioned this phone had fm radio.. Anyone know what that's about? Thank you
