Kernel with DM-Verity Disabled?

[DanRyb]

So I looked around at the available kernels the various developers posted here and it doesn't look like any of them come with dm-verity disabled? Does anyone know of any? I don't want full-blown root but I do like to make minor changes to /system through ADB in recovery (like replacing some font files, etc). Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure how this ties into modifying the system while in recovery? I was under the assumption that DM verity is just a check, and only "works" when the bootloader is locked.
If you're unlocked and running TWRP then it shouldn't pose any issues?

DM-verity is a complete system check. If you modify any portion of the system in recovery, once you boot into the OS with dm-verity enabled, it essentially "recovers" the changed bits on the fly, and therefore your changes don't "stick". They are reverted immediately. It's actually a great security feature but since there's changes I want to make, I need dm-verity disabled.

You will have to recompile kernel.:crying:

Hello,

According to this post, ElementalX has dm-verity disabled: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...x-pxl-0-02-t3487072/post71015517#post71015517

Edit: damn it, didn't see the thread is four months old...
