    Unimpeded root. You can still get it on maybe a handful of phones but apps are getting harder and harder to run with it enabled.

      It’s sad how root is still required on many phones to reach full functionality, yet they makes you jump through hoops to get it.

      On my phone I needed root to set a battery charge limit. The rom I’m using only added that functionality natively a few years ago. I still need root to make backups ever since google kneecapped ADB backup. Seriously, do they just expect people to not make backups of the device they use every day!?
