Modules and Extensions

APM

APM provides a Magisk-like system module system with installation, removal, enable and disable controls, batch operations, and full backups.

KPM

KPM provides kernel module support for inline-hook and syscall-table-hook use cases, including automatic module loading.

APD Lua Plugins

APD plugins run Lua scripts in the apd lifecycle without modifying system files or injecting a kernel module. They support configuration, quick actions, background daemons, and persistent logs.

• Chinese: https://fp.mysqil.com/modules/plugin/

Security

The SuperKey has higher privileges than a normal Root session. A weak or exposed key can allow unauthorized control of the device. Use a strong key and keep it private.
