ZygiskNext

ZygiskNext is a standalone implementation of Zygisk for Android devices. To understand what this means, some background helps. Magisk is a widely used tool for rooting Android phones, and Zygisk is a feature built into Magisk that lets add-on modules inject code into apps at startup. It works by hooking into Zygote, the Android process that launches every app, so modifications can apply across the whole system.

KernelSU is an alternative rooting approach that works at the Linux kernel level rather than through Magisk. Because it is a separate project, it does not include Zygisk natively. ZygiskNext fills that gap by providing a standalone Zygisk implementation that works with KernelSU. This means Magisk modules that rely on the Zygisk API can run on KernelSU-rooted devices through ZygiskNext.

The project also works as a drop-in replacement for Magisk's own built-in Zygisk, for users who prefer to run the standalone version even on Magisk-rooted devices. When used this way, Magisk's built-in Zygisk option must be turned off.

The README is brief and focused on requirements. For KernelSU, you need a minimum kernel version and KernelSU manager version, and the kernel must have full SELinux patch support. For Magisk, you need at least version 26402 with built-in Zygisk disabled. The README also notes one known limitation: isolated processes on Magisk's DenyList are not handled correctly. ZygiskNext guarantees Zygisk API compatibility but does not replicate all of Magisk's internal features.
