⚠️ This is a fork of the original APatch project.

⚠️ This is a simplified version which uses an HARDCODED SUPERKEY for the kernel super calls. You may consider this as non-secure for your use cases so consider yourself warned!

⚠️ If you intend to use the official version, please go to the official APatch project page to download an official release package.

I made this fork with simplicity and an easy-to-use UI in mind for my daily usage of a simple SuperUser management app with module handling capabilities. These are the differences compared with the original version:

Hardcoded superkey for simplicity
Simplified UI dashboard
No KPM management

APatch

The patching of Android kernel and Android system.

A new Kernel-based root solution for Android devices.
APM: Magisk module like support.
KPM: Kernel Patch Module support. (Allow you to inject any code into the kernel, Kernel function inline-hook and syscall-table-hook is available)
APatch relies on KernelPatch.
The source code for both APatch UI and APM has been copied and modified from KernelSU.

Supported Versions

ARM64 only
Android Kernel Version 3.18 - 6.1

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: Early support

Security Alert

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