APatch: A Powerful Tool for Android Kernel and System

Are you an Android enthusiast who loves to tinker with your device? If so, then you’ve probably heard about rooting. Rooting gives you more control over your device, but it can also be a risky process. That’s where APatch comes in.

APatch is a new project that offers a more user-friendly way to customize your Android device. It’s based on KernelPatch, which allows you to inject code into the kernel. This means that you can add new features or modify existing ones to suit your needs.

What is APatch?

APatch is a project dedicated to patching the Android kernel and system. It introduces a new Kernel-based root solution, offering features such as APM (Magisk module-like support) and KPM (Kernel Patch Module support). These features allow users to inject any code into the kernel, providing unprecedented control and customization options.

What are the benefits of using APatch?

One of the biggest benefits of APatch is that it’s relatively easy to use. Unlike traditional rooting methods, APatch doesn’t require you to flash a custom ROM. This means that there’s less risk of bricking your device.

Another benefit of APatch is that it’s very versatile. With APatch, you can inject any code into the kernel. This means that the possibilities are endless. You can use APatch to add new features, improve performance, or even fix bugs.

Is APatch right for you?

If you’re looking for a way to easily and safely customize your Android device, then APatch is a great option. However, it’s important to note that APatch is still under development. This means that there may be some bugs or stability issues.

Requirements for Using APatch

To use APatch, your device must meet certain requirements. It only supports ARM64 Android Kernel Version 3.18 – 6.1. Additionally, it requires Kernel configs CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y and CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y.

How to Root Using APatch

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to root your device using APatch. Remember, rooting your device can void your warranty and carries some risks. Proceed with caution and only if you understand the process.

Before You Begin:

• Make sure your device is unlocked and bootloader is unlockable (research specific steps for your device model).
• Backup your entire device data as rooting wipes your data.

What You’ll Need:

• A PC
• USB cable
• APatch app
• Custom recovery (TWRP, etc.) installed on your device (optional, but recommended)
• ADB and Fastboot tools installed on your PC (if not using custom recovery)
• Your device’s boot.img file (instructions on extracting boot.img vary by device, research for your specific model)

Steps:

1. Obtain boot.img: Extract the boot.img file from your device’s firmware or use a tool specific to your device model.
2. Download and Install APatch: Download the latest version of APatch from the official GitHub repository.
3. Set Up APatch:
   • Open the APatch app.
   • Set a secure password for the app.
4. Patch boot.img:
   • In the APatch app, select the “Patch boot.img” option.
   • Navigate to and select the boot.img file you obtained in step 1.
   • The app will automatically detect your device’s architecture (ARM64 most likely).
   • You can leave other options on default settings for now (explore them later if needed).
   • Tap “Patch” and wait for the process to complete.
5. Flash Patched boot.img:
   • There are two methods to flash the patched boot.img:
     • Using Custom Recovery:
       • Boot your device into custom recovery (TWRP, etc.)
       • In recovery, navigate to “Install” and select the patched boot.img file.
       • Swipe to confirm the flash.
     • Using ADB and Fastboot:
       • Connect your device to your PC in fastboot mode (refer to your device’s specific instructions).
       • Open a command prompt/terminal window on your PC and navigate to the directory where you have ADB and Fastboot tools installed.
       • Type the following command, replacing patched_boot.img with the actual filename of your patched boot.img:
       • fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
       • Press Enter and wait for the flash to complete.
6. Reboot: Reboot your device.

After Reboot:

• Your device should be rooted. You can verify root access using a root checker app.
• APatch also allows you to install Magisk or KernelSU modules for additional functionalities. Explore the app’s options for managing these modules.
