About this app
A kernel-based root solution for Android devices.
Features
1. Kernel-based su and root access management. 2. Module system based on metamodules: Pluggable infrastructure for systemless modifications. 3. App Profile: Lock up the root power in a cage.
Compatibility state
KernelSU officially supports Android GKI 2.0 devices (kernel 5.10+). Older kernels (4.14+) are also supported, but the kernel will need to be built manually.
With this, WSA, ChromeOS, and container-based Android are all supported.
Currently, the arm64-v8a and x86_64 architectures are supported.
⛔ Caution
Recent kernel versions have implemented a breaking change causing KernelSU to fail and potentially trigger a kernel panic on x86_64! Check the website for more info!
