What is KernelSU ?

Levi Ackerman


KernelSU is a kernel-based root solution for Android devices. It works by patching the kernel to allow user space applications to access root privileges. This is in contrast to other rooting methods, such as Magisk, which work by modifying system files or installing a custom recovery.


KernelSU has a number of advantages over other rooting methods. It is more stealthy, as it does not modify system files or install any additional software. It is also more stable and reliable, as it is patched into the kernel itself. Additionally, KernelSU provides a number of advanced features, such as the ability to customize root permissions for individual applications and to modify system partitions without modifying system files.


KernelSU is still under development, but it has become a popular choice for rooting Android devices in recent years. It is supported by a wide range of devices and kernels, and it is actively maintained by the developers.


Here is a more detailed overview of some of the key features of KernelSU:


Kernel-based: KernelSU works by patching the kernel to allow user space applications to access root privileges. This makes it more stealthy and reliable than other rooting methods.

Module system: KernelSU provides a module system that allows users to load custom plugins into the system. This can be used to add new features or modify existing ones.

Root profile: KernelSU allows users to customize the root profile for individual applications. This can be used to restrict the permissions that an application has access to, even if it has root privileges.

System partition modification: KernelSU provides a mechanism for modifying files in the system partition without modifying system files. This can be used to install custom ROMs or make other system modifications.


So in conclusion when your Rom kernel supports KSU , you don't need to flash magisk to root your device, you can just install KernelSU manager and use root features.
