Introduction

Cam Kernel SU puts root inside the Android kernel. Its app is called SU Kernel.

In the kernel

Root lives in a kernel module (camsu.ko) loaded from your init_boot or boot image.

• /system is never modified. Modules are mounted at boot.
• The kernel decides which apps get root, from the app profiles you set.
• Apps without root do not see modules.

What's in it

• A glass interface, with slimes roaming the app.
• Bootloop guard and conflict finder.
• Bootloader hiding.
• Root hiding check: look at the phone the way a plain app does.
• Updates itself.

The daemon is camd, data lives in /data/adb/cam. Modules written for KernelSU still work.

One root at a time
