I found this really cool app that lets you run a rootable Android emulator on your Android device. It literally like having 2 devices on one.
The app comes with Google analytics, but I simply made a custom version of the app without it.

@Wetrix It has a built in one click switch that enables ROOT. (In developer mode settings of Android)
Im not sure how privacy friendly it really is, BUT since the emulator is rootable, I could force uninstall their apps and if it breaks the system I could just reinstall it and learn from it.
