Introduction

Magisk is a suite of open source tools for customizing Android, supporting devices higher than Android 4.2. It covers fundamental parts of Android customization: root, boot scripts, SELinux patches, AVB2.0 / dm-verity / forceencrypt removals etc.

Here are some feature highlights:

  • MagiskSU: Provide root access to your device
  • Magisk Modules: Modify read-only partitions by installing modules
  • MagiskHide: Hide Magisk from root detections / system integrity checks

Building Magisk

  • Clone sources: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk.git
  • Magisk builds on any OS Android Studio supports. Install Android Studio and import the project.
  • Python 3.6+. For Windows only, install Colorama with pip install colorama in admin shell.
  • Use the JDK bundled in Android Studio:
    • macOS: export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home"
    • Linux: export PATH="/path/to/androidstudio/jre/bin:$PATH"
    • Windows: Add C:\Path\To\Android Studio\jre\bin to environment variable PATH
  • Set environment variable ANDROID_HOME to the Android SDK folder
  • Download / clone FrankeNDK and set environment variable ANDROID_NDK_HOME to the folder
  • Set configurations in config.prop. A sample file config.prop.sample is provided.
  • Run build.py to see help messages. For each supported actions, use -h to access help (e.g. ./build.py all -h)
  • By default, the script builds everything in debug mode. If you want to build Magisk Manager in release mode (with the -r, --release flag), you need a Java Keystore (only JKS format is supported) to sign APKs and zips. For more information, check Google's Documentation.
