About this app
FOSS Root Checker as the name suggests is an Open Source Root Checker app for verifying Root Access on Android Mobile Devices. Ever wondered what Root Checker Apps do behind the scenes on your Phones once you give them Root Access? Well that's why I made this App! It is just a simple Root Checker for Newbies but with Transparency of what is done. App Version : v37.23.3.0 Package ID : foss.chillastro.root.checker Requirements : Android 6 and Higher How it works? - If "Search Root" is pressed, it Checks 40+ System Paths to Find Traces of Root Access. If it finds, Root Traces are Found. If not it is clearly shown. - Now if "Verify Root" is pressed the App Executes su -c id and if it returns 0, Root Access is Verified. Else, Root Access not Available. - For BusyBox Checker, it checks BusyBox Specefix Paths. If not Found, the App executes su -c which busybox to verify BusyBox Installation. Note : All checks are performed on a background thread (Dispatchers.IO) to ensure your device remains responsive during the scan. Key Features : - Ultra Low Footprint of 1.54MB ONLY! - Privacy First Design with full transparency. ✅ - Reduced Animations Enforced on Low end Devices ( if RAM < 4 GB ). ✅ - No Ads, In-App Purchases and no Data Collection. ✅ - Modern Material UI with Monet Theming. ✅ - Support for Android 6+ Devices. ✅ - Works with Magisk, KernelSU, KSU Forks, APatch and older Methods ✅ - Thorough Guidance provided on Rooting and Unlocking Bootloader. ✅ Appreciate my effort? Why not leave a Star ⭐! :)
