  • [Manager]: Support choose kmi manually for installation.
  • [Manager]: Fix dark mode not working in Splash Screen.

  • [Manager]: Add module shrink in Settings.
  • [Manager]: Fix "grant root failed" in some cases.
  • [Manager]: Allow to use other su to install LKM mode.

v0.9.2

v0.9.0

2 months ago

KernelSU now supports installation through kernel modules (LKM) (GKI Only), you can use it with official kernels or third-party kernels; at the same time, the manager has also added installation functionality, you can choose to patch files, install directly, or install after OTA. Regarding the new LKM installation method, there are some tips:

  1. LKM does not support non-GKI kernels, and will not support them in the future;
  2. When patching files, if the init_boot partition exists, you should choose to patch init_boot; otherwise, patch boot;
  3. If you have already installed the GKI kernel provided by KernelSU and want to switch to the LKM method, you need to flash back to the stock kernel; if your device has an init_boot partition, you can directly flash back to the stock boot;
  4. The installation method of GKI kernel and LKM will always exist, use whichever you like; in the future, it will also support flashing GKI kernel in the manager.

Have fun!

v0.8.1

2 months ago

0.8.1

  • Fix various issues caused by sparse files. Installing one module (no more) and rebooting immediately will fix the slowness issue

0.8.0

For a long time, the module functionality of Magisk / KernelSU was limited to executing boot scripts and modifying system files. Now, we are exploring the possibility of endowing modules with the capability to display UI interfaces!

Previously, after installing some modules, users needed to configure them either through the command line or by directly modifying configuration files in specific locations. Clearly, this process was quite inconvenient for users. At times, in order to configure settings, it was even necessary to write a separate app. With the ability for modules to display interfaces, these issues could become a thing of the past.

Moreover, the display interface can be used for more than just configurations. You have the freedom to present anything you'd like to showcase and interact with the user.

The current interface is implemented through WebUI. You can create HTML pages using any web technology and place them in the module's webroot directory. After the module is installed, users can access this page through the KernelSU manager's list of modules. KernelSU also provides a JavaScript library to facilitate interaction with the system.

However, these trials are still in their infancy, and the jsapi is not yet stable. We welcome your feedback!

Changelog:

  • [Module] Add support for displaying WebUI in modules.
  • [Module] Use sparse image to store module files to solve the problem of installation failure of certain large modules and dynamically sized modules.
  • [Module] Use new mount API when it is available for mounting module files.
  • [Module] Allow to set upperdir for OverlayFS to make the partition writable (CLI Only).
  • [Kernel] Fix some detections.
  • [Kernel] Fix a bug that causes some root processes cannot be killed.
  • [Manager] Add an option to disable automatic update check.
  • [Manager] Fix the misleading tips when manager grant root failed.

v0.7.0

6 months ago

We’re excited to report that we’ve delivered on the App Profile feature we promised 5 months ago! In this release, we have added an important feature to App Profile: Templates. You can create templates by yourself, import templates created by others, or directly use online templates. Templates can be directly applied to App Profile, without having to manually set each configuration! Therefore, even if you don’t understand the complex concepts in App Profile, you can easily restrict ROOT permissions through templates. In addition, welcome to contribute rules to online templates!

Changelog:

  1. [Security] Fix a security issue similar to CVE-2023-5521, please upgrade as soon as possible; credits to qwerty472123@github!
  2. [SU] App Profile now supports templates!
  3. [Module] Fixed the bug that the module directory may be accidentally umounted, causing the manager module directory to be empty.
  4. [SU] Fixed the issue where the allowlist may be messed up after an app is uninstalled.
  5. [Kernel] Add android14-5.15 and android14-6.1, supporting Pixel8 series.
  6. [SU] App Profile’s capability no longer requires CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH and can run without any capability.
  7. [Kernel] Fixed the bootloop issues when working with Magisk.
