    About Magisk a system-less root:

    Magisk Root is now going neck to neck with SuperSu. Because, it is better than SuperSu in various aspects. Various ROM developers like Lineage OS, Resurrection Remix and others are now including Magisk in their official ROMs. Main reason behind it is that with Magisk you can hide root access. Example of a Pokemon Go and banking applications. If android smartphone is rooted with SuperSu and if you install a Pokemon Go or banking app. Then it will close automatically with a warning. Such application can not run on a rooted device. This is the key reason why ROM makers preferring Magisk over SuperSu in android system. If you are SuperSu user then you get only one option and that is unroot your android phone or don’t use such applications.

    Magisk is the answer to you root need.

    Reason behind success of Magisk is that it does not touch any of your system files. It means that it does not make any changes in System Partition. No need to include any binaries in the system file to get root access. Our conventional method of rooting is to change system partition and add some files in system to obtain root access. This all things make android system untouched. This is the reason Magisk is called as a system-less root solution.
