KernelSU: A kernel-based root solution for Android

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/Android

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Magisk

    The Magic Mask for Android

  • A little glimpse from the future (not really, it's already here): With Android 13 KVM is a platform requirement (for pKVM) so it'll be possible to run custom "ROM"s as VMs without root access (and use Magisk, KernelSU etc whatever "root" stuff in that VM, not on the host OS).

  • hardened_malloc

    Hardened allocator designed for modern systems. It has integration into Android's Bionic libc and can be used externally with musl and glibc as a dynamic library for use on other Linux-based platforms. It will gain more portability / integration over time.

  • Demand properly made devices that can re-lock the bootloader with a 3rd party ROM installed, like in the case with Pixel devices & the 3rd party GrapheneOS; if the stock system isn't promised to be updated forever.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Shizuku

    Using system APIs directly with adb/root privileges from normal apps through a Java process started with app_process.

  • Then there's the fact that starting with Android 11 it's no longer necessary to first use ADB over USB to initiate ADB over network so, anybody can start ADB on the device itself, use apps like Shizuku, LSPatch (rootless Xposed), LADB, Termux (apt install adb) etc, automate the ADB commands (via Tasker, let's say) on system boot-up and so on (to let's say, disable the shitty OEM/carrier app packages etc).

  • LSPatch

    Discontinued LSPatch: A non-root Xposed framework extending from LSPosed

    A local ADB shell for Android!

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • VirtualXposed

    A simple app to use Xposed without root, unlock the bootloader or modify system image, etc.
