About rooted phones and custom ROMs
What are rooted phones?
Rooted phones are devices that have been modified to grant the user elevated privileges, allowing modifications to system files and settings that are typically restricted. While rooting can enhance your user experience by providing greater control and customization options, it also introduces significant risks. Using Tepnot on a rooted phone may lead to:
- Unexpected behavior
- Compromised data security
- Reduced functionality
For these reasons, we do not officially support Tepnot on rooted devices.
What are custom ROMs?
Custom ROMs are third-party firmware versions that replace the stock Android operating system on your device. They offer various customization options and can potentially improve performance. However, custom ROMs are not standardized and can vary widely in quality, stability and security. Tepnot is thoroughly tested on official, manufacturer-provided versions of Android and iOS. Using Tepnot on a device with a custom ROM may:
- Lead to compatibility issues
- Cause instability
- Compromise security
What is the best way to use Tepnot for optimal performance?
For the best experience with Tepnot, we recommend using devices with their original, unmodified operating systems. This ensures that you:
- Receive regular security updates
- Maintain system stability
- Get full support for all of Tepnot’s features
What should I be aware of if I use a rooted device or custom ROM?
If you choose to use a rooted device or a custom ROM, please be aware of the potential risks and limitations, such as:
- Lack of official support from Tepnot
- Increased security vulnerabilities
- Potential performance issues
