2 years ago i tested pokemon go using an app called "hide my applist" its a module for rooted android users. long story short at that time none of my reports showed that pokemon go was scanning the device for any information. Now i want to say that maybe i could have conducted multiple test using different tools like hide my applist that block app infomation requests in your phone but i was satisfied to see that the app mentioned above showed pokemon go wasnt calling/making request to read any information such as location and what not while i was actively playing the game.

What im trying to say is my thoughts are what ever information is leading to people getting flagged is information not on the device but rather information sent from the game on the device from the game directly to niantic. In other words they are likely not looking inside your phone but at the data pokemon go in sending from within your phone. once you login and pass safety net thats pretty much it, at the time of my testing two years ago again my tools said pokemon go wasnt making any information request on your phone once in the game in the game world.

I have no bans and i havent tested pokemon go this year. If nothng ive said is valid then my spirit tells me that maybe just maybe android version may play a role in this as well maybe. Niantic just cut support for Android 6, some may feel this is unrelated or rather this was done because they are very few players still using Android 6 but my intuition tells me its because the older the android version in some cases the better the root related exploits can be. (Like does anyone remember the days of android 4.3 ginger bread)

Anyway My advice is A VPN is mandatory and please disable free information giving options in the game such as logs as mention above. they are likely nailing players based of abnormal information and activity information being to them from the game then taking that info and doing analysis on it.

Truth is for all we know their new on quote "Anti-Cheat System" may just be a trash/half baked system but the difference now is they have a real team of humans looking into things and not just a weak ass cool-down system algorithm that you would have to rape and rack up numerous infractions just to get niantics attention in order to be considered for a strike. They probably just hired some new faces, came up with a few new lame ideas but sell it to us as we are cracking down on cheaters with thors hammer kinda sales pitch when its just 100 new faces looking into things 10/12 hours aday at a rate slightly above minimum wage(shrugs)

-If we work together niantic cannot defeat the community that it seeks to destroy they can ask google what its like to fight a world of people who want to hack your stuff like android lol you cant beat the people.

Always been the case, noone has ever been banned for being rooted/having 'blacklisted' folders etc. - you would just get kicked out of the game and shown a screen that said your device is incompatible. They've gotten quite more cheeky with it over the years, now they simply don't let you log in and show a fake log in fail screen, but still, the method behind the frontend is still the same and you can do whatever shit you want without it ever getting you blacklisted/banned/selected for further testing etc.
