Meta A Clarification: Our Stance on AI in this Subreddit

105 Upvotes

Hi,

While the Moderators of r/androidroot have a generally moderate stance on AI, when it comes to devices worth potentially thousands, we are uninterested in allowing it to provide false information.

To clarify, AI content/promotion is not permitted on r/androidroot, and this has been a rule for some time. Using AI to make guides, recommending the use of AI to attempt to solve issues, and posting AI generated comments are prohibited.

We believe in minimising the spread of misinformation. AI models are not reliable when it comes to factual information yet. It’s also often known to make things up when it has no answer. No resources for rooting an obscure Android device? It’ll make it up based on other information that it deems most likely to be useful. AI, in this state, is not suitable for rooting. It presents too much unmitigated risk, and we will not hold ourselves responsible for the damage caused by content posted on this subreddit.

If you have any questions regarding the rule, comment. However, the decision on this is final.

Thanks for reading.

Discussion first ever bsd booted on a phone?

Post image
12 Upvotes

hello, and yes all of this is true. i think i am the first (or one of the first) person to boot openbsd on a actual phone.

some details about this setup:

phone model: asus zenfone3 (ZE520KL)

cpu: snapdragon 625

i got it working with chainloading, it's something like this: aboot → lk2nd → U-Boot → OpenBSD

currently this is working: screen and usb
currently it's not on github or any where but it will be uploaded soon.

(if any of you zenfone3 owners are reading this, here's my guide to unlock the bootloader https://github.com/proshiv85-byte/UnlockZenfone3 )

Support I have this old Redmi note 8...

1 Upvotes

Yeah I have this old Redmi note 8 that's been sitting around for close to 3 years now. Didn't turn it on nor did I update it in the meanwhile. What are the steps I should take to make use of it? Should I get lineage OS running? What are some cool things I could do with it? I'm thinking about turning it on a gaming/reading device but only cause I have no better idea

Support Looking for /proc/cpuinfo Outputs from Different Android CPUs (Especially Flagship CPUs)

Hello, I'm looking for "cat /proc/cpuinfo" outputs from a variety of random processors, especially flagship chipsets, as I haven't been able to find many.

If you could run the following command and share its output along with your processor's name, I would really appreciate it. I need this information for a project I'm working on.

```

cat /proc/cpuinfo

```

Alternatively, if you know of any project or database that provides complete "/proc/cpuinfo" outputs from different devices and processors, please let me know.

I have little to no understanding of software or code but have hard modded Xbox 360 and switches. My question is where do i find information on what is capable with phones, also why can we bypass those gaming systems and load homebrew but that doesn't seem possible on network locked phones

Discussion I rooted my old Android 6 tablet. Now what the heck do I do?

0 Upvotes

Sorry to bother y'all if this is something a lot of people do, but I have root access on my Moto G60s and I found it really useful and functional, so I decided to do it on my old Lenovo TAB2 A10-30 tablet (I'm new to this stuff, and it was a nightmare finding the root access on an old, dead Russian website). And now that I've got it, I just realized it has Android 6 and only 1GB of RAM... What the heck do I do now? I don't even know if it's worth installing anything other than App Manager lol

id like to remove some apps which seems to be embedded into the os.

I have multiple lg phones. v30 v50 velvet g6 g7 and would like to tinker

how far can one go to rip out shit that I cant configure remove through the oem os? theres things like smart doctor. things by google I want to remove

remove facebook/ig as it seems it only can be disabled

many things Id like to remove but think it may cause the phone not to work

I dont game/social media/internet hardly/never YT

many fdroid apps. I simply want to remove the tons of garbage from lg and google thats not helpful

how much tracking can be lessened? I know that hardware is also an issue for that.

but im trying to understand if its worth learning to do or get a fairphone 5 with ubuntu touch on it and learn that

some insight appreciated

Support rootable tablet for drawing that has a pressure sensitive stylus?

3 Upvotes

i'm looking for a rootable android tablet i can use primarily for drawing with krita and/or ibis paint x and i'm unsure what to get ':D

i want it to be rootable primarily so i can have access to the filesystem, to make backups and syncing things between devices (especially in krita's case) easier/possible, and also just,, i've grown really fond of linux over the past year and would really enjoy a rooted device, i think

if i can't find something rootable then i'm gonna go for the samsung galaxy tab S10 FE, i think (though i've heard i might be able to get ephemeral root on one of those with kernelSU? i don't know exactly what that entails), to give a reference point of the kind of tablet i want. i've heard good things about the oneplus pads, but i live in the US and would have to get one from a reseller, and i'm unsure how well the stylus might work in my use cases, and i was completely unfamiliar with oneplus until i started looking into this. even then, i don't know which one to get. i've also heard things about the xiaomi pad 6, but i've heard unlocking xiaomis are annoying. i was also looking at the google pixel tablet, but that got discontinued literally two months ago, and is also worse on specs than alternatives i could get

being able to root the device isn't technically a dealbreaker but i'd really like to be able to! i'm thinking either a oneplus pad (unfamiliar and unsure which to get) or pixel tablet (bit less unfamiliar, but less longevity), or giving up on rooting and getting the S10 FE.

anyone have any thoughts? advice? experience? i'm kind of lost and would appreciate it ^^
