Magisk 26 APK Download

Magisk is a popular rooting solution for Android devices that just got updated to v26. The Magisk tool allows users to modify their deviceโ€™s system without tampering with the system partition. Magisk has been a favorite among Android users for its ease of use and its ability to pass Googleโ€™s SafetyNet checks. After almost a year, the latest Magisk v26 is now available for download with a host of new features and improvements.

The first major change in Magisk v26 is the bump in the minimum supported Android version to Android 6.0. This means that Magisk v26 can now be used on devices running Android 6.0 and above. According to the developer, Magiskโ€™s support for Android Lollipop has been pretty broken for a while and not many care about it. Plus, finding hardware to test magisk on such an old OS is hard. So it has been eliminated altogether.

Another significant change in Magisk v26 is the new magic mount backend. Magic Mount is the feature that makes modules modify partitions. After this update, Magisk should work well with OEMs injecting overlays into their system usingย overlayfs.

The Zygisk module has also been updated in Magisk v26 with several changes. The new API version 4 has been released, and the daemon will no longer crash in the event of an error. Additionally, the zygote code injection has been rewritten with a new loader library approach, and the code unloading implementation has also been rewritten.

The Magisk app has also received some new features in v26. Stub patching is now 100% offline, and it supports patching init_boot.img for Samsung ODIN firmware.

Lastly, the MagiskPolicy module has had some minor bug fixes in command-line argument parsing, and its rules have been updated to support Android 14 U.

As we already know, the previous Magisk v24 introduced Zygisk; Magisk in Zygote. When this feature is enabled, a part of Magisk will run in the Zygote daemon process, allowing module developers to run code directly in every Android appsโ€™ process. Zygisk is inspired by that project Riru and is functionally similar.

Magisk Modules Downloads Repository

Magisk is dropping support to download online modules. You will find Foxโ€™s Magisk Module Manager below so you can restore the Magisk Modules functionality.

The centralized Magisk-Modules-Repo is also gone from Magisk 24. According to the developer, this is due to lack of time and maintenance. The functionality to download modules from the repo is removed in v24.0.

Magisk Hide

However, as planned by the developer, the MagiskHide has now been removed from Magisk completely. The developer has already put out a statement for the same. You can visit our post on Download Universal SafetyNet Fix post for more explanation.
