    Zygote injection module implemented using ptrace, providing Zygisk API support for APatch and KernelSU. Serves as a replacement for Magisk's built-in Zygisk. FOSS [M]
  • ReZygisk
    Standalone and open-source Zygisk implementation, offering Zygisk API support for KernelSU and as a drop-in replacement for Magisk's Zygisk. FOSS [M] [K]
  • ⭐ Zygisk Next
    Advanced standalone Zygisk implementation, supporting KernelSU and replacing Magisk's built-in Zygisk. Proprietary [M] [K]

πŸ’‘ Tip:

Use these modules if you need Zygisk features on alternative root frameworks (KernelSU, APatch), or want more control over Zygisk behavior than Magisk's
