I have 20 rooted Galaxy S8+ devices in a phone farm box, and I’m starting to question whether the whole “warm up the account for 3–7 days” advice is actually useful.
Here’s what I’ve tested:
I created a TikTok account on an iPhone 14+. Right after creating it, I posted using TikTok’s live camera feature, and the post instantly got 800+ views.
Then I logged into that same account on a rooted Galaxy S8+ using Shadowrocket with a private residential proxy. When I posted from the S8+ on day one, the video got 0 views.
Normally, I’d try to avoid this by posting through TikTok’s in-app camera feature, but the issue is that these S8+ devices are inside a phone farm box with no physical camera hardware attached.
So my question is: am I basically screwed with this setup?
I don’t want to waste 3–7 days “warming up” accounts if the S8+ farm is still going to get 0 views because of the device setup, missing camera hardware, rooted environment, proxy mismatch, or some other trust signal issue.
A lot of the advice I see on forums feels like theory without clear executable steps, which is why I’m skeptical of the warm-up method. I’m mainly looking for real-world experience from anyone who has actually tested this type of setup.
Has anyone successfully posted from rooted Android farm devices without hardware cameras and still gotten normal views? Or is the missing live-camera/native-device signal basically a dealbreaker?
