I've written this blog post about moving from rooted Samsung to a Pixel running GrapheneOS. It's a list of every root tool that I used, with a note on whether I'll miss it. I wrote it as a checklist for myself initially, and decided to add links and more comments and publish it. Turns out I don't really need root, which truly surprised me.

Do you have any apps or tools that hold you back from leaving root?

Thanks, I fixed the link, but the old version still seems to be cached. It should be https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/1173-taskmanager-real-killing-of-processes/9 And yes, I restart my phone pretty often, and I think it also restarts automatically at night, so re-enabling Shizuku every time is something I don't want to deal with. Another alternative I forgot to add to the post (and now I will) is this app: Force Stop Helper. It's a simple list of apps with following features useful for my usecase:

  • Clicking on an app takes you to it's system settings page where you can enable/disable it with one click
  • You can pin certain apps to the top
  • Disabled apps are shown greyed out and marked as disabled

Using this is not as convinient as Hail, but perfectly fine for apps that I don't need to freeze multiple times a day. Sort of a middle ground between convenience and security.
