    What exactly are you hoping to achieve by rooting your phone btw?

    From what I know rooting used to make sense back in the 2015’s when the Android market used to be littered with shitty OEM OS’s filled to the brim with bloatware, ads and restricted functionality. Rooting or installing custom ROMs used to give a very tangible boost to performance in those times. But nowadays most OEMs (except the ultra-cheap Chinese ones) have settled down to a uniform stock-Android-like design with minor design tweaks, and hardware has also improved to the level that it’s extremely rare to notice comparable lags. I know Motorola is one of those who prefer to keep their UI as close to stock Android as possible.
