Just so that everyone is up to speed in this thread, it is not permitted to post/discuss/share and etc. warez on XDA as outlined by our Forum rules.

6. Do not post*or request*warez.

If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez nor do we permit members to request, post, promote or describe ways in which warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained or used.

I don't know man. I didn't even know what it was before you mentioned it in this thread but I can post screenshots if you like. But I assure you, they are both L1. I checked with two different apps.

I don't have a solution but if I can help get one, I'm all for it.

Edit: we are also showing L1 in the v30 forums so it does indeed look like Magisk fixed that issue - if it's even magisk

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tokuzumi:
Last time I rooted a phone was 2 years ago. But I've found that rooting really only provides the latest software version to a phone. And there are always "gotchas" that can be deal breakers. Camera quality is usually terrible compared to stock, but since the camera APIs are closed source, I can't fault the devs. They do the best they can to guess what the functions are expecting as parameter values. Basic features don't work properly (wifi/bluetooth), or require reboots all the time to keep things from crashing. I think the largest breakthrough the root community had was back in 2011, when the Cyanogen devs cracked the WiMax 4G source code, and made the 4G radio work properly on CyanogenMod.

If you want the best overall experience from a daily use perspective (photo quality/bluetooth streaming/etc), leave the phone stock. If you only care about Android OS/Security patch level, root.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] j0hnee:
I'm bringing this thread back up because after having this phone (tmobile variant) since launch and wanting to root, I have noticed how fast and reliable it has been. With the lastest update rolling out, I'm wondering myself is rooting is worth the effort? I've been a fan of rooting my phones in the past because of the custom features but with this phone I'm not seeing need due to how efficient it is. Any input or thoughts from those who took the plunge on their tmobile 6t?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Josh McGrath:
Root for me is essential cause it's very stupid that I can't securely delete files and wipe free space without root, and I can't adblock and VPN at the same time.

I don't really mess with roms or kernel tweaks. Otherwise you're right, this phone is so snappy you really don't need root.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] mlock420:
As I like to say Everytime I see one of these threads.....I miss viper4android unless there's a root free mod out there let me know....other then that I want dark notifications as well.....
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Nosferatu.:
1.) For freeing up space, you do realize it's on the SYSTEM partition not the DATA partition. You effectively gain zero data so don't really see the point.

2.) Yes you can. I have both NordVPN and Blokada.

VPN ON = NordVPN. It has built in adblocking. If your VPN can't adblock, I suggest go find another one

VPN OFF = Blokada has me covered.

Both programs have quick toggles for me in the notification pull-down. Takes two seconds to swap around.

So in short, both of your complaints can be addressed without root.

Those are the only two major things to me that you miss without root. No Viper4Android and no Substratum (damn you Google with Pie it worked on Oreo). My real audio hardware (Sennheiser HD600 / Fostex TH-900) have their own dedicated setups outside of my phone so while I agree I'd like to have Viper I'm surviving without it. As I said originally, stability with simplicity, and L1 Widevine capabilities more important to me these days.

Man this thread got big...:silly:
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] wgasa:
I only really root for cf.lumen, night mode is not yet flexible enough, eg full red filter. I also use adaway, I could probably live without.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Nosferatu.:
Rooted device technically less secure. :cowboy:

I'll have an easier way breaking into TWRP and accessing your files versus breaking into a locked bootloader unrooted device with a secure password. :cool:
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
TWRP still needs to decrypt the partitions that are encrypted.

You can't even do a device factory reset with TWRP installed if you don't have the device PIN/password.

You might have an easier time wiping the device, but getting the files decrypted is still going to be a pain.

Remember the encryption is file based and not the whole partition. So decryption of one file means you have a lot more to go.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Josh McGrath:
Technically it is true but I have to delete files and securely wipe them at the end of every day ?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] lover:
Since i ever owned Android device i always had root, literally before unboxing them i have already downloaded the necessary tools and ROM to root them, there was a time that i would say i couldn't survive without xposed and i would say that for root too, but for my OP6T McLaren i decided not to root and give it try and live without root for couple of days, so instead of Titanium Backup i used OnePlus Switch which worked pretty well and it transferred my Pictures and Videos too! Saved me time! also i did a local backup too and used folder sync to make cloud backup of local OnePlus switch backup so in case i have cloud backups too, Using OP switch i even had less problems cause with TB my bank apps and PayPal apps would break because they were paired them with my fingerptint on other device and restoring them in new device does not restore authentications so i always had to clear storage and cache of those apps and in some cases remove then and install them again! So it was not good idea to always use TB.

some apps also use auto login using my Google account authentication or my password manager app. So restoring my apps using OP switch app was with even less headaches

The other thing that i thought i could not survive with was AdAway but i am using AdGuard instead and frankly it's even better than AdAway cause it also supports DNS and i am using it on my two computers too

There is also Non-Root version of YouTube Vanced so this problem is solved

I use Tasker with lots of profiles and automations, All of my Tasker settings and automation works without root, I just had to give secure settings permissions with adb without root being necessary also the same for enabling call recorder for joneplus app could enable it with adb just one time and i won't loose call recording after reboots

Some of these would not be possible but with new Android API improved (like Restricting Network Access for Individual Apps almost an alternative to Android firewall or Android Settings for Hide Apps or Lock Apps) and being able to give secure settings more permissions through the adb without root i could have those things i need the most

I still use a lot of apps that requires root but i still have kept my rooted OP3T and for daily and businesse use i really do not need a device with root

I was not a fan of ViPER4Android cause i am satisfied with my Bluetooth Aukey and my OnePlus wireless Bullets which i used the equalizer settings in OnePlus Audio Tuner and sound enhancement for oneplus bullets wireless and happy with aptX HD quality.

The conclusion is today there is less need for root, not for some pro users
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] hgmichna:
AdGuard recommended

Oh yes! AdGuard is a life saver.

For those who don't know it yet, just open Settings, Wi-Fi & Internet, Private DNS, choose Private DNS provider hostname, type in:

dns.adguard.com

and tap SAVE. That's all. Your phone now does not get ads (unless some web site or app repackages them into their own page or app, against which all ad blockers are powerless).

Works only in Android 9 "Pie".

The only downside is, if your home router is also set to the AdGuard DNS IP addresses, you don't have to, but you may want to switch your phone's private DNS back to Automatic while at home to speed up DNS queries by using your router's caching DNS proxy.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] kousarali:
wow.. i didn't know this. i thought the only way was to download the app and apply the adblocking through VPN.

just tested it and it totally works.

Thanks a bunch!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
For me yes. Further debloating.

I like to have haptic feedback but the 6t even on the lowest is too aggressive so root let's me lower it.

Also dual speaker mod and Google sans mod.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] mmarcz:
Absolutely love my rooted 6T

Hear my music, in the car, in full glory with viper!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] DarkShoken:
I feel exactly the same as you :)
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] deadzombieseverywhere:
I've always been obsessed with having my phone visually appealing throughout so blackout themes that go past the system were a necessity for me. Also OOS surprisingly does not have a black notification drawer when you use its built-in capability.

Being able to use a terminal to enable dark mode on Messenger was a plus.

Trying out kernels for better battery life too.

But I'm not as interested in romming, but that is likely due to the rom community's work inside of OOS. Who knows what the community might have in store down the road.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] radekmazur:
Reason to root = custom kernel and Android Auto mirror. I love to mirror Android on my Honda Pilot.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Karamvir Singh:
Its great to know, that I am not the only one. Thanks man, what's the ad-blocking solution you referred to? I've gotten old to the point of not visiting xda for months, when it was like my go to feed once.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TRexombo:
The primary reason I root is for MicroG. I install it through Nanodroid.

You CANNOT suggest a non root alternative for MicroG because there isn't one.

I'm not really as much concerned about the security risks that come with an unlocked bootloader. My main concern is not offering all of my personal information to google on a silver platter. I love having a phone with not one single google app or service on it anywhere.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Frankenscript:
Google knows more about me than I do. I've stopped worrying about it.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Sophia92:
OOS does an amazing job but some tewaks still need root (like custom fingerprint icons, adblock via host file, custom odb files for certain apps, custoom kernel for performance/battery optimization and so on). I don't really feel the need to use this stuff, happy with stock oos.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] estapagu:
But no cosmetic filter so a lot of empty banners everywhere and no per app settings.

Root + magisk move certificates + Adguard HTTPS filter + Adguard local HTTP proxy + cosmetic filter is almost perfect for me.

I could live without root but while passing safetynet there are more advantages than disadvantages for me.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] mmarcz:
I root primarily to run viper. I stream 100% in the car, and once you've heard your music with viper, there's no going back.

Last phone I rooted, was the original Galaxy Note. My next phone after that was the Mate2, which was so stable...I didn't even bother. Now, a phone isn't a "gadget"...it's a work tool. End of day, I rarely touch it til morning.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Caltinpla:
It's personal preferences!!! can't speak for everyone but my last rooted phone was the Nexus 6P. You can now use the private DNS to block ads and the stock rom has all the features that I wanted so root is no longer needed for me!!!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] phaino00:
Been rooting since cupcake and donut days (HTC Sapphire). I find, today, I only need root to resolve the issue of low volume and low quality of audio via Viper4Android. The disparity in audio experience between with and without V4A is significant, at least in my humblest opinion.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] UberFiend:
Would you say V4A would help quality when using cheap audio output like Bluetooth headphones and little Bluetooth speakers?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] phaino00:
When it comes to using cheap headphones and little speakers via Bluetooth, the tone and sound quality improves a bit since they're cheap speakers. However, you will notice a significant difference in volume level when using V4A via Bluetooth.

I suggest trying it out.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] mine420:
Yes I need root for proper ad blocking rootless options just aren't as good. I need root for android auto mirroring (touch) since android auto doesn't support osmAnd. Android 10 requires root to remove that annoying casting pop up. WiFi bonding. A few other system mods that I could probably live without but do simply out of habit.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] juuser:
I had root on 6T, but after my banking app and NFC-payments stopped working, I went to stock. Actually haven't missed root at all.

- For ad blocking i use Block This. Amazing piece of software, install and forget. For web browsing I use Dolphin browser with inbuilt ad blocking. This combo make you forget there are ads out there :)

- Macrodroid's most functions are still working. With a ADB-hack I can even control GPS-state.

- And GCam and Youtube vanced are both working without root.

-Native call recorder with jOneplus Tools.

- That's it!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Frankenscript:
I stopped rooting at the 6T because nothing I actually use requires it. My big issue in the past has been the need to backup/restore all apps, and now pretty much everything has some sort of cloud backup anyway. I used Titanium to freeze some things; I can live without it. Still annoys me not to have total control over a device I own but not worth the effort any more.

I never bothered with adblock stuff at the phone level; I just ignore the ads.

What I would like is the next phone to be less ambitious and stick at a $499 price point. My 6T is fast enough for any purpose I use it for. It will be YEARS before 5G means anything to me. Come out with a lightly upgraded 6T like phone at $499 and I might buy it. I'm a year into my 6T and there is no reason to switch. Don't need better camera or more memory. Wish they would bring back notification light or a practical low battery drain screen notification system to replace it. Minor stuff. And I always use a thin case; just make the phone slightly larger, more rugged to eliminate case need (so same size as 6T in thin case) slightly bigger battery. That's all.

These sound effect just make the voice become different instead of better
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You don't know what you're talking about. I installed Magisk Modules Viper4Android, Ainur Sauron, Audio Compatibility Patch, and Audio Modification Library to my P2XL. There is a tremendous difference in the sound quality, especially using headphones.

The sound is not only louder, but cleaner and with greater dynamic range. This is what equalizers like V4A do. Ainur Sauron uses modified sound libraries to further improve the sound, and the Audio Modification Library ensures Pandora, Spotify, and other similar apps use V4A and Ainur Sauron settings when outputting audio. The Compatibility Patch ensures they all work together.

I don't have Dolby Atmos on my P2XL, but with this setup I don't need it.

[MENTION=2474613]oraned[/MENTION]: Check the Magisk forum, though the downloads window in Magisk should have links for what you're looking for.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] arturiu:
Note: I'm not going to comment the usage of sound processing for watching movies, because the entertainment concept is different from listening to music. Now, concerning music:

IMHO, music should be enjoyed with as little processing as possible, because when it was composed and recorded by the author he (she) wanted it to sound that way. The less bells&whistles added, the better.

Pixel 2XL has a decent native sound quality via the bundled usb-c adapter, and can also stream aptX (and aptXHD) via bluetooth.

It's much more important to have a good pair of headphones, avoiding putting lipstick on a pig.

That said, and because even good headphones have different tuning, you may want to choose a proper equalizer to slightly adjust the frequency bands and gain.

And let us not forget: when you want hi-fi quality music, you will want to use an hi-fi gadget on a quiet place ;)

The phone will always be a "good enough" option, compared to it.

But it's so damn "good enough", that we tend to forget that :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Felosis:
I was just about to install Ainur Sauron again since I was on Oreo. If you don't mind me asking, do you tweak the Ainur Sauron config at all or do you use the default? I'm thinking I'll use the v4a with the audiophile profile and Ainur Sauron default config. :good:

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=3981926]felosisman[/MENTION]: I use the Ainur Sauron defaults.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] oraned:
How i use in Ainur Sauron?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I don't understand the question. Simply install it.

This statement would make sense if the artist had control over such things. They don't. It's a proven fact that the sound engineer is one who makes those decisions, and almost always at the behest of the record label, not the artist.

No artist worth their salt would want their music mastered in such a way that all sounds were equal in volume. Yet you repeatedly find music mastered this way. Equalization is essential to make such music sound tolerable, but admittedly it can only do so much.

Do a Google search for "Loudness War" and see just how record labels killed music.

Why I don't see Ainur Sauron app in my pixel 2 after I installed?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Galeonero:
Hi, I have a pixel 2 and I would like to improve your speakers. How do I have to install Viper4Android?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=2474613]oraned[/MENTION]: It's not an app, just a mod and thus doesn't appear in the app drawer. Note that if you install Ainur Sauron with V4A you must also install the audio compatibility patch or neither V4A nor Ainur Sauron will work.

[MENTION=8932262]Galeonero[/MENTION]: The easiest method is through Magisk. Just follow the prompts to install it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Galeonero:
I understand, you could pass me a Magisk link the truth that I have no idea of ​​root. A thousand apologies if I'm annoying
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I could, but XDA has an entire forum devoted to Magisk. Very easy to find with the search bar at the top of the page at upper right, or even with a Google search.

As to how to root this device, there is an entire subforum devoted to tutorials for the P2XL. Read those tutorials in the Guides, News & Discussion subforum first before trying anything.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] oraned:
What you mean install the audio compatibility?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=2474613]oraned[/MENTION]: It's self-explanatory. The modules will tell you what they need to work and your job is to install them. One of those things is an audio compatibility patch that allows multiple sound modules to work together.

Now, it's time for you to help yourself. If you need more details about a particular module, head to the Magisk forum and search. Most modules have dedicated threads providing more detail about what they do.
