# Magisk
[XDA Announcement Thread](https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445)
[Downloads](https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases) | [Documentation](docs/README.MD) | [XDA Thread](https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445)
## Introduction
Magisk is a suite of open source tools for customizing Android, supporting devices with version higher than 5.0 Lollipop (API 21). It covers the fundamental parts for Android customization: root, boot scripts, SELinux patches, AVB2.0 / dm-verity / forceencrypt removals etc.
Furthermore, Magisk provides a **Systemless Interface** to alter the system (or vendor) arbitrarily while the actual partitions stay completely intact. With its systemless nature along with several other hacks, Magisk can hide modifications from nearly any system integrity verifications used in banking apps, corporation monitoring apps, game cheat detections, and most importantly [Google's SafetyNet API](https://developer.android.com/training/safetynet/index.html).

5. By default, `build.py` build binaries and Magisk Manager in debug mode. If you want to build Magisk Manager in release mode (via the `-r, --release` flag), you need a Java Keystore file `release-key.jks` (only `JKS` format is supported) to sign APKs and zips.

## Introduction
Magisk is a suite of open source tools for devices running Android version higher than 5.0 Lollipop (API 21). It establishes an environment which covers most stuffs you need for Android customization, such as root, boot scripts, SELinux patches, AVB2.0 / dm-verity / forceencrypt patches etc..
Furthermore, Magisk provides a **Systemless Interface** to alter the system (or vendor) arbitrarily while the actual partitions stay completely intact, all of which accomplished by only patching the boot image. With its systemless nature along with several other hacks, Magisk can hide modifications from nearly any existing system integrity verifications, one of the main target is to hide from [Google's SafetyNet API](https://developer.android.com/training/safetynet/index.html).
