The highlight of this release is a complete, ground-up rewrite of the Magisk app UI.
Over the years, the Android application codebase had accumulated significant technical debt—spanning legacy XML layouts, Databinding, and KAPT. In this release, the entire UI layer has been rebuilt from scratch with modern Jetpack Compose and Material 3.
This rewrite allowed us to modernize the architecture and introduce substantial UI/UX improvements, with additional new features:
- A new built-in terminal emulator with full TTY and ANSI support for module flashing and action scripts.
- Direct support for streaming and extracting boot images from remote OTA URLs on-the-fly.
Legacy App Still Available
This kind of full rewrite can sometimes introduce unexpected edge cases or bugs. If you encounter issues with the new app, the legacy View-based version will still be built and uploaded for a couple of releases, available for download here.
