APatch is a kernel-based root solution for Android devices that patches the Android kernel and system, relying on KernelPatch. It supports Magisk-like system modules (APM) and kernel modules (KPM) that can inject code into the kernel via inline-hook and syscall-table-hook.

Use cases

• root my android device without unlocking boot image modifications
• run magisk-style modules on my android phone
• hook syscalls in the android kernel
• get kernel-level root access on arm64 android
• hide root from apps on android
• patch android kernel to gain superuser

When to choose

• you need kernel-level root on an ARM64 Android device with kernel 3.18-6.12
• you want Magisk-like module support plus deeper kernel code injection
• KernelSU or Magisk is not suitable for your device or threat model

When to avoid

• your device is not ARM64 or runs an unsupported kernel version
• you only need userspace root without kernel patching
• you cannot risk bootloader or kernel modifications on your device
