adb root option?

[Joduai]

Hello
Haven't tried this app yet but wanted to ask if it's possible that it allows "adb root" option on custom roms?
The problem is with all roms with fixed option leading to "ADB cannot run as root in production builds", although ro.system.build.type is set to userdebug along with proper ro.debuggable.

Hello. I investigated the ADB source code and came to the conclusion that the ability to run "adb root" depends on whether ADBD (ADB daemon on device) is compiled with the ALLOW_ADBD_ROOT flag. That is, it is not enough to install property, you need to completely recompile ADBD or replace it.

I hoped that replacing adbd with patched executable on some GSI and custom roms won't be a must as uncle G's safetynet will get a diarrhea.

Anyways thanks a lot for clarifying whole thing. Seems that I haven't dug deep enough to find crucial info about compilation flag, nor didn't even know about it.
