On rooted phone you can use modules like HMA-OSS, ReZygisk, PIF and other tweaks depending on your root method and it can be easily bypassed, I managed to bypass that on my Magisk rooted Pixel.

    Unfortunately it's so hard to find good TG client recently. I've been using Nekogram too and it's been my favourite client aswell until someone found, that developers embedded hidden Java script that extracted phone number from your accounts, that you were logged into and sent them to OSINT bot. Also I can't recall Nekogram ever being on F-Droid, you must've been thinking about Nekogram X which is gone for a long time.

    There's also AyuGram (quite popular TOS breaking TG client), which last commit on their GitHub page was like 4 years ago (if Nekogram extracted your phone number then one can only think what kind of shit AyuGram is extracting/doing on your phone😂)

    I think the safest option would probably be "Fork Client", or if you dont mind having less features Telegram FOSS. What I think I will do is either having Forkgram Classic or Fork Client or Telegram FOSS with some LSPosed modules that add some functionalities like speed boost or saving restricted content etc.

    Hi,

    Which decent phone that will last me for some time and wont break easily is the best to buy that lets you fully unlock the bootloader so I can flash custom ROM on it and root it if I wanted to by for example using Magisk by flashing patched boot.img and (optionally if specific model allows) installing custom recovery?

    I have a Samsung that I could unlock bootloader on, however Samsung decided to block the option to unlock OEM starting in One UI 8.0 on all regions, and I was unlucky enough to update my phone (because I didnt know) so I cant root/flash custom ROM on it.

    My guess would be some Google Pixel model,? but which one should I buy that has support for most ROMs and TWRP?

    Google is also soon introducing mandatory ID verification for developers that want to publish their apps on Play Store on all Andro id verified devices, whch is another reason I want a phone that I can flash custom ROM on and root.

    Also where should I buy new phone from? I think I should avoid buying from carrier and instead buying it online or from local electronics store?
