|
## Does KernelSU support my device?
|
|
|
|
First, your devices should be able to unlock the bootloader. If it can't, then it is unsupported.
|
|
|
|
Then install KernelSU manager App to your device and open it, if it shows `Unsupported` then your device is unsupported and won't be supported in the future.
|
|
|
|
## Does KernelSU need to unlock Bootloader?
|
|
|
|
Certainly, yes.
|
|
|
|
## Does KernelSU support modules?
|
|
|
|
Yes, But it is in early version, may be buggy. Please waiting it to be stable :)
|
|
|
|
## Does KernelSU support Xposed?
|
|
|
|
Yes, [Dreamland](https://github.com/canyie/Dreamland) and [TaiChi](https::/taichi.cool) partially works now, And we are trying to make other Xposed Framework work.
|
|
|
|
## Is KernelSU compatible with Magisk?
|
|
|
|
KernelSU's module system is conflict with Magisk's magic mount, if there is any module enabled in KernelSU, then the whole Magisk would not work.
|
|
|
|
But if you only use the `su` of KernelSU, then it will work well with Magisk: KernelSU modify the `kernel` and Magisk modify the `ramdisk`, they can work together.
|
|
|
|
## Will KernelSU substitute Magisk?
|
|
|
|
We don't think so and it's not our goal. Magisk is good enough for userspace root solution and it will live long. KernelSU's goal is to provide a kernel interface to users, not substituting Magisk.
|
|
|
|
## Can KernelSU support non GKI devices?
|
|
|
|
It is possible. But you should download the kernel source and intergrate KernelSU to the source tree and compile the kernel yourself.
|
|
|
|
## Can KernelSU support devices below Android 12?
|
|
|
|
It is device's kernel that affect KernelSU's compatability and it has nothing to do with Android version.The only restriction is that devices launched with Android 12 must be kernel 5.10+(GKI devices). So:
|
|
|
|
1. Devices launched with Android 12 must be supported.
|
|
2. Devices with has an old kernel (Some Android 12 devices is also old kernel) is compatable (You should build kernel yourself)
|
|
|
|
## Can KernelSU support old kernel?
|
|
|
|
It is possible, KernelSU is backported to kernel 4.14 now, for older kernel, you need to backport it manully and PRs welcome!
|
|
|
|
## How to integrate KernelSU for old kernel?

|
