    My next phone will be one on which I can install a better OS on. Like Graphene OS.

      And people wonder why I root.

      First I start with a user-friendly OS, like Graphene, Lineage, DivestOS.

        My bank apps won’t run on a rooted phone. Neither will 2FA authenticator apps that most employers require that you have.

          If an employer requires you to have a specific app then they should be providing you a device on which to use it!

            I have worked for both a fortune 100 and startups. Both don’t provide it. They do, however, paid for my monthly cellphone bill.

              So how do they react when you say “that app doesn’t work on my phone”, or if you’re feeling mischievous, “I don’t have a smartphone”?

              Guess you pull out the old classic “oh, I don’t have a smartphone” if you find they’re being difficult about it!

        Don’t root a main phone device. You are creating a very large attack surface
