I want to find a way to hide root from certain apps on my razer, Anything would be helpful

This is my first android phone, so bear with me if anything I ask is obvious.
1. What are the limitations of temp root? Obviously it's not practical to install a custom ROM, but what about things like juice defender, changing the status bar skin, etc?
2. What are the security risks of rooting the phone? I've heard there are files that are only protected by permissions instead of encryption for example. Plus my linux experience makes me wary of the implied running as root.
3. If I root the phone, I assume I can back up non-market, paid apps like Launcher Pro to reload safely after rooting or installing a custom mod, right?
4. Aside from the status bar, setting the CPU, and being able to remove the pre-installed apps, what other benefits does root offer? (I bought my phone unlocked already)

OK, I'm sending this from my phone so bare with me if things aren't as crisp and percise.
Some of the advantages to rooting means you get permanent, (almost) unrestricted access to anything you want your phone to do. This means that you can flash things like kernels and radios for better performance, overclock the device, and do things such as make the little LED light up when you get a text message and wake up the phone by pressing the action button.
With you being temp rooted, that means once you reboot the phone you'll lose root. The only benifit is if you want to apply a mod that requires root to modify, but not root to run. Once you reboot, you loose root, but can keep the mod.
You're right in the regards that once you root you can modify files that can hurt the phone, but the keyword in that sentence is YOU. If you don't want to mod those files then don't. No one has a gun to your head, you know?
I was nervous about rooting my phone but following the guides I was able to easily do it with no trouble. Now that I'm rooted I'm running a custom rom, my own theme, custom settings, and am overclocked. Just because I can.
Also, use the search function next time. There's plenty of FAQs about rooting, pros and cons, stuff like that. Have fun with your phone.

Rooting not a choice if I want to use my g2 for work. I keep seeing references to things like cyanogen no longer requiring root, but cannot find a clear answer. Would like to get rid of bloat and have some control over notifications dropdown, qslide, etc. Any way I can do this without rooting?

Wht are the advantage of rooting ? How to change stock icon pakage in google now launcher without rooting ?
Main advantages of rooting I see:
- easy backup (Titanium Backup), you can access data of apps.
- copy/move of data with attributes including timestamps is possible.
- possibility to modify system, like enabling disabled features.
- it is your device. You did not rent it. Noone should technically restrict your ability to do anything with it.
modify system - xposed, remove unwanted app and data
If you don't know the advantages of rooting, you don't need rooting.

He's not asking what the advantages of rooting are. He's asking what YOU root your phone for. IMO lol.
Anw, in the past when I used to root my phone, it was mainly to disable the bloatwares, install Adaway and to backup my phone before wandering into the endless world of Custom ROM. Now I'm old and want to settle down. My only urge to root my MZP now is to install adaway and get rid of all the annoying ads. But then again, they are not that annoying.
@vietkao, if AdAway is your only reason for root, you probably should give DNS66 a try. It works similar to AdAway, but does not need root. Only restriction: It works as vpn, so it can not run at the same time as another vpn. Gain: you may disable or enable it per app.
My brother tends to use my phone alot and i know android supports multiple users but Samsung has disabled it, i want to know is there a way i can enable it without root but if i have to root can i temp root without removing warranty then once its enables remove root? I have the 2017 A5 running 7.0 my model if ir helps is SM-A520F. I need to know as he he does whatever he wants on my phone and i have important info i need to hide, Please
Hi all.
First, sorry about my english.
Second, I come from op3t and until this phone i've rooted all my phones.
I got op5t for a year almost and still didnt make it rooted.
I want to know the postivie things about root and the negative things about root.
I mean like... Does it help for less battery darin and etc.
Thanks
About the only reason I personally root is for adaway. For me there is no downside as I can still use banking and NFC payment apps.
I can't use my phone without root.
Root is necessary to completely block ads in whole rom.
Then you can theme your system with substratum
Which is best part & most beautiful thing of root.
Oos is basically root ready.. so have it.
Or you can just stay as you are with unaware to alot of things.
Some banking apps detect the root and does not work.? What is the best possible method to hide the root from those apps?
if only battery optimised is what you need, try custom kernel or wakelock app, you don't really need root for those needs

so, you say that root is something that i should do yes?
i understand that if i want to root i need to wipe everything and thats scares me, i afraid to lose some improtant stuff
Is there anything you want to do with your phone that you can't do because you aren't rooted? If yes watch a couple of guides on how to backup and root your phone. If no don't root.
