KernelSU (Classic)

Classic KernelSU is a root solution for Android GKI devices that operates in kernel mode and grants root permission to userspace applications from kernel space. It is the original implementation by tiann.

Source

• Upstream: tiann/KernelSU (main branch)
• Pinned commit: 932014ab5b2c9b74a3d11e2ec4d17dd10fc9442e

Pinned in main.yml as PIN_KERNELSU and resolved via pick so builds are always verified against an exact commit.

How This Repo Uses It

• Built when root_flavor is KernelSU or All.
• SUSFS patches are applied during the build workflow (when use_susfs is enabled) rather than sourced from a SUSFS-enabled fork.
• Resolved at the pinned commit in verified mode; at latest main tip in latest mode.

Manager

The KernelSU manager APK is built from tiann/KernelSU. The manager version should match the kernel version (e.g., kernel version 30100 → manager version 30100).
