Back in May when topjohnwu joined Google, he was told he's not allowed to maintain Magisk anymore:

. For some reason, this information wasn't broadcasted widely.
Because of this, the Magisk GitHub has gone dry: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/
Today, I can root my OnePlus 8 running LineageOS 18.1 (or Android 11 in general) with Magisk and pass SafetyNet. Maybe we'll have some root with Android 12. But come Android 13, or even 12 if something changes, what will we do if Magisk isn't maintained?
I propose we fork Magisk and continue developing it from there. This thread exists mainly as a discussion about a possible fork.
Sadly, I don't know much about Android development myself. I've only gone as far as making a flashable ZIP (if even that) for a Moto Z2 Force Sprint APN fix back in 2018. Well, maybe it's time for me to learn (Full disclaimer: I am a FreeBSD committer/developer, more packaging work but some kernel/driver stuff also, but then Android is based off Linux not BSD).
To mods: Sorry for making another thread. I wanted to edit the title of my previous thread, but couldn't.
MOD ACTION:
Thread closed since another earlier thread on the same subject already exists: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/all-hands-on-deck.4303129/

So as many of you probably noticed, Meticulus the maintainer of CM13 and Lineage OS 14.1 for our devices decided to put all further updates behind a paywall which violates XDA rules according to the mod KennyG123 in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/help/thank-community-t3569063
Archived version in case it gets removed: http://web.archive.org/web/20170307...m/huawei-p9lite/help/thank-community-t3569063
It would be great if we could have a civil discussion and resolve these issues soon so that development and updates can continue smoothly.
Thanks for your attention.
This thread will only extend the drama. The future development plan is simple: donate to him so you get into the train... If you don't like that idea, the RR build is pretty stable and if you clean flash it you won't face any problems...
Nice and easy.
This thread is going to be closed, it is only going to cause problems.
Any discussion that needs to be had regarding all this is between moderators and people who break the rules.
As for those who want to develop CM/Lineage, the source is available.
Forum moderator,

Have found an instruction on how to get Xposed running on Android 7 and 7.1.
It is not official, so I think there will be less support if something goes wrong.
Here you are: link removed by the mod team
But I haven't tested it myself so far.
probably fake
fake.
Moderation note: The linked article is fake. Due to the differences between Android 6 and Android 7 it's not that easy to make xposed work on Nougat.
For safety reasons this thread gets closed and the link gets removed. Please remember not to flash any files from dubious sources. You might install malware or in the worst case brick your device unrecoverably.
EDIT: It's too annoying to maintain and edit 6 separate threads. The installer works across all devices, so please visit this post for the latest version: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...or-patch-levels-2021-01-05-and-later.4226343/
Thanks!
NOTE: Download link in the OP will install mod for the current patch level down to January 2021. It will detect your current patch level and install the correct file. For earlier system builds from 2020 and prior, please use the official discontinued module on the Magisk Manager repo. I did not clone the entire Active Edge Mod repository; my unofficial repository only hosts January 2021 and later builds.
Changes:
I know, I know... I said I was done with releasing my Unofficial Active Edge Mod installer, yet here's another month's update. I might keep doing it for those that update immediately and want it a bit sooner, so long as it's fortunate enough to happen on a day when I'm able to do it relatively quickly. Since I'm building these anyway and sending them over to the dev, for now, to upload to the official Magisk repo, for now I don't mind also updating it here a bit sooner. Anyway, more on this below and some of the headache involved moving forward...
04-05-2021: Soooo... the script I wrote to churn these out as quickly as possible as Google releases the updates, relied on system image dumps on GitRip... unfortunately the domain was seized by the FBI (lol) and so it looks like the old dumper is no longer updating his Android dumps repo on GitRip. Fortunately, mikalovtch pointed me over to a new source that hosts such system dumps, and I was able to get these done relatively quickly afterwards. OP is updated with the 04-05-2021 installer now!
03-02-2021: Meant to post an update a week or two ago. Noticed the magisk module on the official Magisk repo now says [RE-CONTINUED], so there really isn't much need for me to continue updating this anymore! As a final gift, I ran my batch builder script and built the modded apk's for all variants for the 2021-03-05 patch level, and download link for the module installer is in the OP.
02-02-2021: February 2021 mod is now uploaded. Updated installer is in the link in the OP.
02-01-2021: Modified and uploaded modded SystemUIGoogle.apk files for 3 / 3 XL / 3a / 3a XL to GitHub repository. Updated Magisk installer slightly to accommodate this, and removed a few unnecessary lines. Won't make any difference if you already installed the first release.
Any one working on Lineage OS with Gapps ? Thanks.
After a quick Google search, it seems like there is someone that does various test builds for the spes device:
Jabiyeff-build Activity
sourceforge.net
It's been mentioned in this thread already:
[spes/spesn] no google custom rom when?
Slowly new custom roms are fading in for the spes/spesn redmi note 11 and now there finally is its own forum here. A custom rom without Google and its services is still missing among these roms. Hit a post here if you find some de-googled...
forum.xda-developers.com
I use the rom as daily driver and it is very good rom. I am surprised that it is not advertised anywhere. The only thing I am missing is passing SafetyNet.
I am using the last version (220530) with May security fixes with gapps and magisk.
Well, it's about time Xiaomi stopped dicking around and release the kernel source already, as they are legally obligated to do. There's not much of a way we can force them though; so much about "Xiaomi allows unlocking the bootloader and is open to modifications for their devices' software".

Hello, I work on a custom aosp rom for A21s based on android 13. Where I can put the magisk source code in the aosp code tree. I want to pre root that rom.
This question would be better asked in the Magisk forum. I'll move your post there.
However, I found this with a Google search, also this. However it's entirely possible that Magisk has outgrown this...
