You can still install OTA updates with Magisk installed as its systemless, meaning you can also keep root when updating. However if you have a custom rom / recovery installed its usually a case of booting in to your recovery (TWRP is the most popular) and flashing Magisk to your custom rom. First you need to install Magisk - i’d suggest reading the Magisk documentation as this will vary from device to device, so it's impossible for me to give a step by step everyone can follow here.
The same should apply to most Android devices however.ġ. Whatever your reasons are, this is how I have Pokemon Go working on a OnePlus 5T running LineageOS 16. In addition, having got used to all the nice tweaks, customisation and privacy features custom roms offer, I’d find it hard to go back to stock Android now as its quite limited in comparison. I’ve personally used custom roms since 2010 on various Android devices to keep them up to date with the latest Android versions and security patches, long after the manufacturer has stopped supporting the device.
For whatever reason Niantic think people who have custom roms or root on their Android device must obviously be cheating and there for locked out of playing the game. And if you don't like how things look or something, you can just change the randomizing settings and have fun with that.Pokemon Go doesn’t like custom Android roms, or even stock roms with root access enabled. Pokémon Emerald Randomizer is a great rom modifying tool, it makes the experience of playing one of the coolest 2D Pokémon games new every single time. Their type, abilities, stats, and basically anything you want.
And now it even modifies the color palette of the pokémon in the game. Once you apply it you get a fully modified Pokémon Emerald rom.Įven though at first it just modified the random pokémon encounters, it evolved a lot. You adjust the settings to set what it is you want to change in the game. You can use it to randomize pretty much every aspect of the game. Pokémon Emerald Randomizer is pretty much what the name implies it is, a tool to make a random version of a Pokémon Emerald rom. But let's talk about what it does exactly. Unlike many other modified rom editions out there, this one doesn't have an original story nor does it have new game art or characters.īut, if it is a hack rom that adds nothing new, what's there to have fun with? Well, it can also be considered a tool even more than a hack room. Pokémon Emerald Randomizer is more than just a hack from the popular Pokémon Emerald, originally released for the Gameboy Advance in 2004. It is pretty crazy the number of things that this can change ranging from the more obvious such as the Pokémon themselves to the items and even things like your Pokedex! The way characters talk can now be different to thanks to the way they are referred to changing. Items are now randomized too, not just where they are found in the wild, but in shops as well in terms of their availability and also how many of them there are. It actually tinkers with many other aspects of the game too. While the main aspect of this has to be the way it randomizes the Pokémon. The actual Pokémon themselves are changed to ranging from their move’s stats, pallets and so on. If you have played the heck out of Ruby, Sapphire and even the original version of Emerald then you will certainly like how this keeps you on your toes. This little bit of unpredictability really does make the game that extra bit exciting. This program will randomize the starter Pokémon and the items they have! It will also randomize all of the other Pokémon that you will encounter in the game so you never know what the heck will show up and where. Once you have installed the Pokémon Emerald Randomizer you will notice that things are different.
