About KernelSU

KernelSU implements su and root management inside the kernel rather than in userspace, with per-application profiles that restrict what each rooted app may do through UID, GID and SELinux rules. It targets devices on kernel 5.10 and later.

Strengths

  • Root managed in the kernel, with per-app privilege profiles
  • Module system for systemless modifications

Limitations

  • Requires a GKI 2.0 kernel or a custom kernel build for the device
  • Unlocking the bootloader is still required, with the usual wipe
