Hi, currently using gOS due to wanting to avoid Android taking away features such as allowing third party app installs, but this OS is designed with non-rooting in mind. Is there any way for me to use the app without rooting? Any tips appreciated.

Still, if this were to go through, the app asks for the phone to be rooted. Is this going to be something that's accounted for if people are on gOS?
