Happy New Year 2026!
(00:00 GMT+7:00)

We wish you a new year with good health, happiness, and success.

Here’s the ESK Kernel Flash Guide with everything you need to flash safely. Feel free to ask for any improvements in the guide.

Starting now, Clang updates will be posted here. I will repost the latest one to test

Google Clang Prebuilt Update

Clang Version: 22.0.1 (r584948b)
Build ID: 14726520

Download tar.gz:
Download (GitHub mirror)
Download (AOSP source)

I will close the poll tonight

Looks like separate builds are leading. Since a unified kernel is easier for me to maintain, I’ll release both (unified kernel + separate builds) for now. Then run another poll after everyone has had time to try them.

Update: I won't maintain separate build anymore.

If you see "Zygisk Required" in KernelSU Next, then simply force stop the manager and reopen it.

Workaround for "Require Zygisk" message in KernelSU-Next. This only works on the normal build, not the spoof build.

Version 2:
* Rework manager scan to support spoof build
* Remove some verbose logging

Fix "Require Zygisk" message in KernelSU-Next. You don't need to restart manager anymore after flashing this.
