Magisk v15.1 Makes it More Modular, Updates the Module Template and More (Updated)

Updated 12/29/2017: We’ve edited the article to reflect the release of Magisk v15.1, which fixes a bootloop issue in Magisk v15.

It was less than a week ago when we talked about the big update that was pushed for Magisk that brought its version up to 14.6. While that version didn’t really add any new and exciting functionality, it was great for adding polish and optimizing various features. Late last night XDA Recognised Developer topjohnwu announced a new version that would bring Magisk up to version 15.1 and an update that makes it more modular, improves methods of hiding Magisk, updating to a new module template and launches a server for Magisk repo submissions.

With the Pixel phones utilizing Treble, topjohnwu feels that Android is becoming a more modular platform and they want to utilize those advantages with Magisk. This will be especially true as more devices are launched with full Treble support, so it makes sense to start getting work done ahead of time. So for this update the developer has spent time backporting changes and features to make sure they run on these new devices.

There has also been some work done on the way Magisk tries to hide itself from other applications and services on our devices. Various hints/signal/traces of the existence of Magisk are now removed, and Magisk Manager supports repackaging to completely hide from naive package name detections. On versions 14.5 and higher of Magisk, the developer has made sure that modules which are built upon the vanilla 1400 template should work properly.

However, module developers may need to update their code to use the template for version 15.1 so that it properly supports this new version. This will all depend on how the module developer has implemented the features of their module though. The new template strips out even more logic within the module, making it nearly a stub to just call functions from the external util_functions.sh. This will go a long way with future versions of Magisk as it will give topjohnwu the ability to fix issues and do adjustments without modules needing to be adapted for those changes.

The last new piece of news paired with this update is a new server that will handle Magisk repo submissions. The server is currently running on the developer’s laptop (so it may not be online 100% of the time), but should monitor and process requests within seconds while also acting as a moderator to make sure all submitted and existing repos are setup properly.

Check out version 15 of Magisk

Xiaomi is Recruiting Beta Testers for the Mi Mix 2 Android Oreo Update The Xiaomi Mi A1, which is part of Google’s Android One program,  received an update to Android Oreo a few days ago . But the rest of Xiaomi’s devices run MIUI , Xiaomi’s proprietary software layer, and they haven’t gotten Oreo yet. That won’t be the case for much longer, though — in December, Xiaomi started recruiting beta testers for an Android Oreo update for the Mi 6 , and later that month, the company launched a closed beta program for the Mi Mix 2’s Oreo update. Now, Xiaomi is back with announcement: It’s recruiting beta testers for the Mi Mix 2’s Android Oreo update. Anyone can apply, but only if they’re (1) running the latest version of MIUI Global Developer ROM, (2) active on Xiaomi’s community forums, and (3) have an interest in and knowledge about testing ROMs. To sign up, you need to download the Mi Forum app. Tap on the Recruitment tab, and then fill in the required fields about your country/region,

Dirac partners with AAC Technologies to Bring Enhanced Audio Quality to Smartphones, Smart Speakers, and more For the past few years, audio quality in mobile devices has become an increasingly higher priority. There was a time when audio quality was valued only by a few smartphone vendors, but that trend is slowly changing. We have seen the arrival of smartphones which specifically promote great audio quality as a feature, such as HTC’s smartphones since the One M7 as well as LG’s V series flagships . We have also seen the rise of stereo speakers in mobile, better DACs (such as Qualcomm’s Aqstic DAC ), and in general, a better audio experience. However, there still remains quite a way to go for smartphones to improve in audio quality. This is why AAC Technologies and Dirac Research have partnered to build first-of-their-kind audio systems that integrate Dirac’s audio processing technology with AAC Technologies’ micro-speaker technology. Dirac Research is an audio technology company wh

LG Plans to Rebrand its G Series Smartphone Lineup Branding is something that companies spend a lot of money on — a product’s success hinges partially on its brand, it’s often said. That’s one reason why  LG, which hasn’t had much success in the smartphone business lately, is ditching its G series smartphone lineup for a different one. The company says it’ll unveil a replacement in the first half of 2018, according to The Investor . An LG official said   that the company’s been tossing around a lot of ideas, including a two-digit number series and a completely new name. LG kicked off the G series in 2012 with the LG Optimus G. The phone garnered critical praise, with some reviewers saying it was the best smartphone hardware that the company had ever produced. The LG Optimus G Pro was next in line, the LG G2 after it. But recently, the G series hasn’t been able to keep up with the competition. The  modular LG G5 failed to attract attention away from juggernauts like the Samsung Galax
