What's new

v5.0Aug 10, 2026

This release focuses on overall experience polish, broader device support for jailbreak-mode KernelPatch module loading, and a fully built-in Shizuku service — no third-party Shizuku app required.
✨ Highlights
Built-in Shizuku Ships a complete Shizuku server directly inside FolkPatch, running as the standard shell-privileged app_process (same model as official ADB mode). FolkPatch acts as its own manager: an M3E-style permission dialog (Allow / Allow once / Deny with auto-deny countdown) and an authorization management page to grant or revoke apps at any time. Stable lifecycle: concurrency-safe startup, root-readiness waiting, fallback su 2000 invocation, and a wider binder-ready window. Grants are persisted in shizuku.json and survive service restarts. Reliable autostart after boot: waits for root to be ready, then retries over a longer window. Jailbreak & KPM loading KPM (KernelPatch Module) loading support in jailbreak mode on more devices, with a load-only KPM page in the module screen. Distinguishes jailbreak from a real KernelPatch install; prevents stale marker conflicts after flashing an actual KernelPatch boot image. Fixed soft-reboot stability in jailbreak mode, added framework-restart confirmations, and suppressed the KernelPatch update card while jailbreak is active. sucompat is now re-applied automatically on boot so previously working shell/root behaviors stay intact. Experience polish Superuser search is debounced to eliminate input lag on large app lists. Home reboot action converted to a dropdown menu; install status cards refined; theme transparency now applies to home cards and grid labels. Fixed background music overlapping when opening a module WebUI, and a Cursor NPE crash in the download manager. Plugin entry moved to the settings top bar; locale fallback fixes for Chinese regional variants.
🚀 New Features
Shizuku: built-in server, permission dialog, authorization management UI. Jailbreak mode: KPM page with load-only support. Support for the new Zygisk module implementation. Folk Mount aligned with magic_mount behavior. su now supports -g / -G group options (and target GID handling) in apd.
🐛 Bug Fixes
Background music overlapping after opening module WebUI. DownloadManager query Cursor NPE crash. Emoji replaced with ?? in the jailbreak UI refactor. Superuser list search input lag. Stale jailbreak marker conflict after flashing a real KernelPatch image. sucompat not restored automatically after boot. Various jailbreak soft-reboot and framework-restart issues.
