[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Artim_96:
I just ordered a Pixel 3a and I was gone for a while from the world of Google phones (since Nexus 4).

I know Magisk hides any trace of root and unlocked bootloader, but is there any disadvantages unique to Pixel devices when rooting, like disabled features or is hiding good enough that there won't be any difference? Just to be sure
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] GuestK00262:
Nothing as far as i know.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Artim_96:
That sounds great. Wasn't sure if they might have done something through the Titan M or else
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] sic0048:
Rooting means unlocking your bootloader. This makes your phone at greater risk of being compromised - especially if someone has physical access to your phone (ie you lost it and someone finds it). Therefore you don't want to leave your bootloader unlocked if you have any sort of sensitive, illegal, or secret information on your phone. That's the #1 issue you have to live with. Of course for 99% of the population, there isn't anything really sensitive on their phones.

Google Pay can be hard to get working when rooted. There are ways to make it work, but it's always a cat and mouse game with Google and it may not always work in the future if Google changes something until the developers can catch up. If you can't live without Google Pay, rooting may not be the best choice for you.

There are other apps that can be temperamental when rooted - usually finance apps and some games (because they don't want players cheating). However, the Magisk hide functionality usually works with most of these apps now.

For me, the added functionality that being rooted brings (via modules and apps) is far better than the potential issues.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Artim_96:
Tl;dr: nothing new. And never had a problem with any apps. Magisk Hide is working well enough, deleting apps data always works as last resort. And on custom ROMs just use MagiskHide Props Config. And if you are concerned about your data, just use the lockscreen passport as bootup protection. Then it's simply impossible to get to the data through that "insecurity", no matter what you do. And since fingerprint readers a more complex password isn't a problem.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] sic0048:
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by lock screen passport. Can you share some more details?

The insecurity comes from the fact that a person that has physical access to your phone can simply turn the phone off and then start it and hold the power and volume up buttons. This will boot the device into the bootloader. Because the bootloader is unlocked, it allows that person the ability to flash anything and gives that person access to anything they want. That super secure lockscreen password or fingerprint won't help keep them out and does nothing but give users a false sense of security.

When the FBI paid a 1 million dollar bounty to someone to access an iPhone, they were paying someone to get around the bootloader. If you unlock your bootloader, you give this access right from the beginning - for free, and without any effort required.

I'm not trying to be argumentative either. You asked what the drawbacks to rooting were and I was simply trying to give a thorough answer. It's up to the individual user to decide if the the positives of unlocking the bootloader and rooting outweigh the negatives. If you look at my signature, you can see what side of the fence I fall on.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Artim_96:
Was a typo,I meant lockscreen password. Android should ask you, if you set up a lock method other than Swipe to unlock, if you want to be asked for it on bootup.

So no matter what you are able to flash through an unlocked bootloader, /data and with it anything that could be relevant stays encrypted until you enter the lockscreen pin/pattern/password, no matter if you do this on the screen that will interrupt bootup after a few seconds or in TWRP. So it doesn't matter what you could come up flashing, as long as you don't find a way to extract the encryption key from the secure storage either in Titan M or any ARM processor, there is no way to get your hands on user data. The only thing you can do is simply wipe /data. Then you can start up new, but the users data will be gone.

And no, I never asked for disadvantages of root itself since there are little to none, I just asked for Pixel unique stuff since Google always adds stuff that other OEMs won't use for years to come.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] sic0048:
I misunderstood your initial post then, but the title of the thread says, "Disadvantages of rooting?"
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Artim_96:
Fixed that. Hope the text is more clear now.

But could you reproduce what I explained? Because I would be very surprised if that was unique to Motorola and not AOSP

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] charlene17:
what about the quick panel 'navigation bar' toggle, leaving you with 3 lines at the bottom of the screen (swipe from these bars to the top of the screen) : right (back), middle (home screen from any page or recent/google assistant from the home screen), left (opened pages ?), middle to right (the windows alt-tab combination) ? No need to pay for something already provided...
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Ivancp:
I use this one, but there are 3 ugly lines at the bottom.. can we personalize that and leave only one pill? i dont found anything

only we can wait Android Q
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] itsmohsink:
Exactly one pill would be so nice to have!!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Cashreedhar:
Have you tried "One Hand Operation +" by Samsung Electronics in the Galaxy Store? I have tried the app on Note 9 before and just playing around with this app on S10 plus and it is very creative. It lets you create more gestures if you need, along with recent, back and home. Pretty Interesting. Although the default gesture control is painful in the beginning, when your hand gets the muscle memory, it's easier than pill (hide those ugly 3 lines at the bottom.

Edit: Here is the link to the app in Playstore - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.sidegesturepad&hl=en_US

hey guys, i had to recently un-install activesync and then i re-installed it. however, now my computer, (windows xp) will detect my phone, and give me that screen asking me to install the drivers. i let it automatically install, and it gives me an error message saying it couldnt find the drivers. so i guess the problem isnt with activesync, but with the computer not being able to detect the phone... what gives?? thanks

i had the problem but i had the att disk so that solved my problem :) but i believe as long as you have ativesync the computer should automatically recogonize your phone as a windows mobile device ...:confused:

Will VoLTE be supported in future updates?. I can't place calls using the phone app from jio sim, only through the jio4g app (A major battery hog ). This seems like a really big missing feature in an otherwise very feature packed "pixel experience" like rom.

any recommendation how to flash this ROM from Xiaomi.eu ROM? I always failed whether lost my signal (no service) or orange/red line after I put device sleep.

thanks

I already flash Oreo firmware, this result red/orange line when device sleep.

flash Nougat firmware -- losing signal (no Service)

please help

Hey,

Thanks for the quick reply. I did do a clean flash of the rom even wiping the internal storage. I don't know where i went wrong. To be clear, the LTE is working fine. I can use data on my jio sim. Only the calls aren't working. When placing calls through the phone app, the calls immediately end as soon as i press the call button.

[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jeevan bk:
Hey,

That actually worked! . I can make calls from my Jio sim from the phone app itself. Though the statusbar signal icon for my second sim has disappeared haha. That's not a problem though since calls from both the sim cards seems to be going through now. It seems like i've found the best custom rom for me. Pixel features and a decent amount of customization is what i've been looking for all this time.

Thank you for helping me out : )
