Meta A Clarification: Our Stance on AI in this Subreddit
Hi,
While the Moderators of r/androidroot have a generally moderate stance on AI, when it comes to devices worth potentially thousands, we are uninterested in allowing it to provide false information.
To clarify, AI content/promotion is not permitted on r/androidroot, and this has been a rule for some time. Using AI to make guides, recommending the use of AI to attempt to solve issues, and posting AI generated comments are prohibited.
We believe in minimising the spread of misinformation. AI models are not reliable when it comes to factual information yet. It’s also often known to make things up when it has no answer. No resources for rooting an obscure Android device? It’ll make it up based on other information that it deems most likely to be useful. AI, in this state, is not suitable for rooting. It presents too much unmitigated risk, and we will not hold ourselves responsible for the damage caused by content posted on this subreddit.
If you have any questions regarding the rule, comment. However, the decision on this is final.
Thanks for reading.

Discussion Excited to share this project I've been working on for some time: Android Auto Mods
Features:
- Open any app on your phone directly in Android Auto.
- Always parked mode – Typing and full lists stay unlocked, even while driving.
- Launcher-first startup – No navigation, music, or autoplay until you open them yourself.
- Recent apps – Easily switch between running apps or close them completely. Closing an app actually stops it, including music apps.
- Phone screen mode – Use the Android Auto car interface directly on your phone, even without a car display.
- Sideloaded app support – Run Android Auto-compatible apps installed outside the Play Store.
- Performance optimizations – Lower frame rates and limit the car screen resolution for smoother performance on older phones.
- No required Google apps – Works without Google Maps, the Google app, or Speech Services.
- Telemetry disabled – Android Auto's telemetry is switched off.
- microG support – Use microG instead of Google Play Services, preventing Android Auto from communicating with Play Services.
- Reduced distractions – Mute notifications while keeping calls, media, and navigation visible. Removes News and Weather tiles.
- Advanced customization – Access Android Auto's hidden UX Prototype web app and override raw flags for additional control.

The phone is runing android 12 6gb ram 128gb storage, the instruction booklwt mensiones a manufactuer called haimeilan, i didnt flash a gsi i just used shizuku as it was quite stock anywase its based on a mtk turnkey rom, the phone is actualy decent to use it preforms like a samsung a12 or moto e7 power, i also swapwd out google apps for fossify and other fdroid equivilants, as if launcher i used smart launcher 6, its runing a bare bones mtk rom hents the generic icons on thr top bar and the os is a basic android 12 matrial you works, as of the specs it has a mtk6762v/cb 6gb ram 128gb storage, it also is more bare bones than lineage os, and because it was modeld after an iphone 15 pro max i got a good case for it ans remaped tbe action button as its hardcosed to mute i had to add a slight delay on the end and set a macro to open my app thrn set it to normal mode, this aint as cool as a gsi but it is more practical, its no prefomance phone but for £80 it isnt bad it makes calls it texts and most moden unbranded wlecome phones use android 10 or 12 but because mine had 12 as it was a newer one shizuku could start up on its own with developer options and its not horable, im pwm sensative and not a fan of how big companys make android skins, so i chose this because it was runing a close to stock rom anywase, i didnt even have to use a computer just fdroid and adding the izzy on droid repo and a fww others for other stuff like futo keyboard as the gboard i wasnt a fan of, ans dura speed with android 12 phantom process killer keepe it light and despite a 3500 mah cell it manages to last 2 days becuse it isnt run8ng intence apps

Support Can you install apps as system apps with temporary root safely?
As multiple people say you shouldn't modify your system with temporary root, is it safe to install an app as a system app, or will it end up soft bricked in some way? Reason I'm asking is because I wanna use Basic call recorder but it doesn't seem like the app is working correctly, which I think might be due to the fact that it's not installed as a system app

News / Method [DEV][FOSS] ForgeROM - An open-source tool to automatically fetch LineageOS, crDroid, TWRP, and OrangeFox files using official APIs
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a project I've been developing with the help of Claude. As someone who frequently changes ROMs and custom recoveries, I always found it tedious to manually search through different websites and forums to find the correct, up-to-date files for specific devices.
To solve this, I built ForgeROM—a fully open-source Android application designed to automate this entire workflow.
🚀 Key Features:
• Multi-API Automation: It queries the official APIs of LineageOS, crDroid, TWRP, and OrangeFox to instantly locate the correct, official files for your model.
• Smart Recommendations (AI Integration): Includes an optional AI module that can assist you during the process (requires your own custom API key).
• Root Mode Installation (Experimental): Features a built-in flashing mechanism via root access. Please note: This feature is highly experimental and hasn't been heavily tested yet, so use it with caution.
• 100% Free & Open Source: No ads, no tracking, and no paid paywalls.
📦 Source Code & Downloads:
The project is completely transparent. You can inspect the source code, build it yourself, or download the pre-compiled .apk directly from the GitHub Releases section:

News / Method Temporary root for realme GT8 on COOS17 (CVE-2026-64560, kernel 6.6.118)
realme patched the GhostLock path in the COOS17 update, but the kernel is still vulnerable to CVE-2026-64560 (UAF, posix-cpu-timers vs non-leader exec(); fix 920f893f735e only landed in 6.6.147).
I ported the fork to the RMX6699 (RE6400L1, SM8750, kernel 6.6.118-android15-8-g9bc34d5b0c79) and built a one-tap app around it.
What it does: leak the KASLR slide → forge a fake misc fops table → open /dev/uhid → real uid=0 + SELinux permissive + temp-su broker. Nothing is written to any partition, and it's gone after a reboot.
Requirements: realme RMX6699 on that exact kernel, plus Shizuku started (the payload's first gate opens /dev/uhid, so it has to run as shell uid 2000). Not for other devices/kernels.
Reliability: it's a race — expect retries; a miss needs a reboot.
APK + source: https://github.com/totsiaw/cve-2026-64560-rmx6699 (rolling app-latest release, or build it yourself)
⚠ Kernel exploit, it can panic/reboot the device.

Discussion Anyone managed to fix Play Integrity on Cloud Android?
Hi everyone, is anyone here using Redfinger Cloud Android and has experience fixing Play Integrity? I'm currently using Redfinger, and my Play Integrity API checker shows ❌ at all three levels: - BASIC_INTEGRITY - DEVICE_INTEGRITY - STRONG_INTEGRITY I've seen recent discussions about Play Integrity changes affecting custom ROMs and virtual Android devices, so I was wondering if anyone has found a solution that works for Redfinger. Has anyone managed to get Play Integrity working on Redfinger recently? If so, what was your setup like, and did you need any updates or special configuration? I'm very interested in understanding what's possible in Redfinger and whether this is something that can actually be fixed on the cloud device side. Any experience or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
