CLUSTER ANDROID-BOOT-KERNEL · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2020-12-18

Android root and boot tooling

This cluster encompasses Android power tools for rooting, boot image patching, kernel and module management (Magisk, KernelSU), SELinux toggling, and device flashing via ADB/Fastboot. Its dated history shows single entries appearing sporadically from 2017 to 2025, with intervals of months to years between them, indicating a steady but sparse release cadence. The highest activity signal is tauri-app-local with 4 stars, followed by AXIS-Android-Research with 1 star and Let Me Downgrade with 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 13 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
