About Shamiko

Shamiko is a root-hiding module used alongside supported root frameworks on Android. It is meant for people who have rooted their own phone but still need apps that refuse to run on rooted devices to start normally.

Builds are published as releases in the LSPosed GitHub organisation, and updates are still appearing. Recent releases fixed compatibility with Frida and problems on devices that use a 16K memory page size. Whether a given app still detects root varies by app and by device.

Strengths

  • Lets root-sensitive apps run on a rooted device
  • Still receiving updates
  • Recent fixes for Frida compatibility and 16K page size devices

Limitations

  • Requires a rooted device with a supported root framework
  • Detection results vary by app and device
  • No published source or license on the release page
