Introduction
Welcome to YukiSU, a next-generation Android root solution that provides advanced kernel-based root management for Android devices.
What is YukiSU?
YukiSU is a modern, kernel-level root solution designed specifically for Android devices and is one of the most radical KernelSU branches. It offers kernel-level root access management with a focus on flexibility, controllability, and extended compatibility for power users.
YukiSU currently supports integration only as an LKM (loadable kernel module) and has dropped builtin (CONFIG_KSU=y) support, making it one of the first KernelSU branches to fully remove builtin integration.
Key Features
🔒 Kernel-based su and root access management
Secure root access management at the kernel level, providing better performance and finer-grained control compared to traditional user-space solutions.
🚫 Not based on OverlayFS module system
The module system is built on Magic Mount / meta modules instead of OverlayFS, improving flexibility and maintainability.
📱 App Profile
Advanced application profiling system that allows you to confine and manage root privileges for different apps in a controlled environment.
🔧 Enhanced Device Support
Restores and enhances support for certain non-GKI / GKI 1.0 devices, improving compatibility with older Android platforms.
⚙️ Extensive Customization
Comprehensive customization options to tailor the root experience to your specific needs and workflows.
🔌 KPM Kernel Module (legacy)
Historically provided KernelPatch Module (KPM) support for advanced kernel modifications and enhancements; this feature has been removed in current builds.
