Magisk support

[Gooberpatrol66]

Can this tool be used to more easily install Magisk on top of LineageOS (or other ROMs)?

Hey, thanks for your interest in the project! :)
I have only very limited experience with Magisk since I usually don't root and I'm not super aware of the installation process. Can Magisk be sideloaded as a flashable zip or need some other things need to be patched?

[SirRGB]

yep, most people flash the apk or rename it to .zip and flash it (in case the twrp version is too old)
the recommended method is to patch the boot.img using the app, but no one really does that.

Yes, flashing Magisk zip as "addon" works (used OrangeFox on lavender, see #218 and #222)

[MagicLike]

I used the "app patches boot.img" way and it also worked fine...

@anon1892 Does the addon flashing also work for twrp or only for orangefox?

[anon1892]

zip flashing is not specific to OrangeFox (which is based on TWRP), so it should work

操作不来啊蛋蛋

The first step is done and will be included in 0.52. Flashing magisk as addon still requires renaming the .apk to .zip or simply ignoring the .zip suffix when selecting the file.
