Bruh you don't need root for this man. Just set up NextDNS with the Private DNS feature in Android, or use AdAway if you have a free Vpn slot.
Sure, but rooting your phone fundamentally destroys the security model https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/android.html#rooting
Your project sounds great, but it only addresses one part of the issue. But verified boot is far from the only security concept broken by root. Android uses the principal of least privilege (which makes a lot of sense, it's actually used by a lot software). With root, a user-installed app runs with higher privileges than most parts of the entire operating system.
