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?

I had this moment years ago when I realised 95% of root tweaks I was using were available non-rooted anyway. The other 5% I learnt to live without and now struggle to remember what they even were.
