APatch

The patching of Android kernel and Android system.

A new kernel-based root solution for Android devices.
APM: Support for modules similar to Magisk.
KPM: Support for modules that allow you to inject any code into the kernel (Provides kernel function inline-hook and syscall-table-hook).
APatch relies on KernelPatch.
The APatch UI and the APModule source code have been derived and modified from KernelSU.

The only way to download the latest APK is from the Releases Section.

Supported Versions

Only supports the ARM64 architecture.
Only supports Android kernel versions 3.18 - 6.12

Support for Samsung devices with security protection: Planned

Requirement

Kernel configs:

CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y and CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y
CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y and CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=n: Initial support

Security Alert

The SuperKey has higher privileges than root access.
Weak or compromised keys can lead to unauthorized control of your device.
It is critical to use robust keys and safeguard them from exposure to maintain the security of your device.
