      I insist on having root on principle; if I don’t, the device isn’t really mine.

      In a practical sense though, ACCA is probably my biggest use case for it. I could work around most everything else.

        I’m the same way, been using that for my P6 and P2 XL. I thought the P2 battery or usb-c was failing 4 years ago until I degoogled it with Lineage for MicroG. Zero problems charging it after that, and battery is still adequate. It disxharges faster now, but at 6 yo, one has to expect degradation.

        Adaway is the other must-have app for me as it blocks adware, spyware, malware at the OS level.

        I will unroot my phone or use a different encryoted phone when i travel overseas because rooted phones are insecure if the bad actor gets physical access.
