10 Must Have Magisk Modules for Android Devices
Among the ways to root an Android phone , Magisk is considered the best. It is a systemless method, meaning it does not actually change the Android system partition. This allows the phone to hide its root status from security apps and is also easier to unroot .
And another benefit of using Magisk is that it supports modules. These small applications customize, enhance and add functions to your Android device. You can use them to increase battery life , install iOS emojis on your Android phone , etc. This article will guide you on how to install Magisk modules and introduce the 10 best modules.
This is probably the most important module you should install. Because while Magisk has a nice Android app with a friendly interface, it only works if you can boot your phone. And sometimes bad things happen.
Magisk Manager Recovery Tool is a module that allows you to access Magisk through a custom recovery, like TWRP. This means you can disable any module that prevents your phone from booting in the first place. It's an important troubleshooting tool.
Similarly, Magisk Bootloop Saver helps protect against Magisk-induced bootloops — specifically those related to the Zygote feature in the most recent versions of the app. You don’t need to do much with Magisk Bootloop Saver, just install the module and let it do its thing.
App Systemizer allows users to install certain apps as system apps. There are several reasons why you should use this module. As you know, system apps cannot be easily uninstalled, so you can add a layer of protection to security apps. Some utilities like battery optimization work better with the extra privileges given to system apps.
App Systemizer does not modify the system partition, so you cannot use it to save space on your phone's internal memory. The app will automatically update itself via the Play Store as usual.
HideNavBar is a very popular module that allows you to use navigation gestures in Android 10, 11, 12 and 13 in true full screen mode.
In normal navigation setup you have a little line at the bottom of the screen called the navigation bar. With this module you can disable that feature, adding a few pixels to the height in the process. It's a small thing, but if you like to call things neat then it's what you need.
Viper4Android is the best audio equalizer app for Android phones. It allows you to boost bass, reduce treble or increase the maximum volume of your phone while minimizing distortion.
The best feature of Viper4Android is that it allows users to set up audio profiles for different output devices like headphones or car audio systems.
The best way to customize your phone is to change the font. You can do this natively on some phones, or you can install the Open Fonts module. It works on Android 10 and above and lets you change the system font to Noto, OpenSans, Roboto-Flex, NotoSans Mono, JetBrains Mono, Noto Emoji, and Twemoji.
Open Fonts includes a number of emoji options, if the module in the list doesn't suit you.
Want to get the latest iOS emojis on Android? The iOS13.2 Emoji module for Magisk is the quickest and easiest way to do it. Just install it through the Magisk app and after a reboot, you won’t see the Google emojis anymore. And if you ever want to revert back to your original emojis, just uninstall the module.
The module hasn't been updated for a while as of writing, so keep an eye on its XDA thread for a chance to download the most up-to-date emojis.
8. CloudflareDNS4Magisk
There are many good reasons to use a third-party DNS service, and many great privacy benefits to using Cloudflare DNS.
But editing DNS settings on Android is not easy and the methods are different for each version of the operating system. Now you have a faster way to edit by installing the CloudflareDNS4Magisk module. It will route all mobile data and Wifi traffic through the free Cloudflare service.
Lawnchair is one of the most popular launchers for Android. It is fast, lightweight, and a big rival to the ever-popular Nova Launcher. What this module does is systematize the launcher, in effect making it a fully integrated system app.
Finally, if you use custom ROMs as a way to remove Google elements from your phone, you may have come across the microG project. This is an effort to replace the built-in Google tools that Android relies on with open-source alternatives.
Custom ROMs can be quite complicated to set up for the average user, but this module makes things easy. microG-GApps doesn't support all the features and services at the moment, but it's a good starting point for those who want a little less Google in their day-to-day use.
How to uninstall Magisk module on Android
To uninstall or disable a module, go to Modules in the Magisk Manager app:
