Features of Magisk v26.2 APK
Magisk stands out for its ability to make alterations to a device’s operating system without affecting the system partition, and it has gained popularity for its ease of use and compatibility with Google’s SafetyNet inspections.
Notable highlights of Magisk v26.2 include the transition to the RUST environment and an increase in the minimum supported Android version to 6.0. As a result, users with devices running Android 6.0 or higher can now access the latest versions of Magisk. The update also involved discontinuing support for Android Lollipop due to technical challenges and limited user demand for such an outdated OS.
Magisk v26.2 introduces significant enhancements to various components, including MagiskBoot, MagiskSU, MagiskPolicy, and Magisk Manager apps. The app now supports the extraction of boot images from payload.bin files, listing cpio content, handling AVB 1.0 signing and verification directly, and more. Notably, the app gains the ability to patch boot images from ROM zips and properly preserve boot.img when patching Samsung firmware with init_boot.img.
Here’s a summary of the key changes:
- MagiskBoot supports extracting boot image from payload.bin
- MagiskBoot handles cpio files containing character files
- MagiskSU has new support options (-g and -G)
- MagiskSU can switch the mount namespace to PID with -t
