This guide gives step-by-step instructions for changing the Magisk Manager app so that it can work with third-party module repositories. This process requires using a special patching tool to change the source code of the app, then recompiling it and putting it on your device.

Step-by-Step Patching Procedure

Follow these steps in order to successfully patch the Magisk Manager. You need to have a command-line environment on your computer for this to work.

• Make a copy of the Patching Utility: Getting the right patching script is the first step. To clone the mmpatch repository from GitHub, open a terminal or command prompt and type: git clone https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Alt-Repo/mmpatch. This will put the tool in a new folder on your computer.
• Install Necessary Requirements: The Java Development Kit (JDK) and Apktool are two important pieces of software that the patching process depends on. Apktool is a great tool for reverse-engineering Android application packages (APKs), and the Java JDK gives Apktool the runtime environment it needs to work properly. Make sure both are installed on your computer.
• Configure System Environment Variables:** For your operating system to locate and execute the Apktool and Java commands from any directory, you must add their respective bin folders to your system’s PATH environment variable. This step is crucial for the patching script to run without errors.
• Execute the Patching Command: Navigate into the cloned mmpatch directory using your terminal. Execute the patcher script by running the following command: ./mmpatch Magisk-Modules-Alt-Repo. This command instructs the script to begin the patching process, integrating the specified alternative repository source into the application.
• Get Your Android Ready: You need to completely remove any Magisk Manager app that is already on your Android device before you can install the modified version. This step stops signature conflicts and makes sure that the new patched APK is installed correctly.
• Put the Patched App on Your Computer: Find the new file called “mmpatch-signed.apk” in the “mmpatch” folder. Put this file on your Android device and install it. This APK has the modified Magisk Manager that works with the other repository.

Resolving Module Visibility Issues

Sometimes, you might not see newly published modules in your list of repositories. This is usually a problem with caching, which means the app is showing an old list. To fix this, go to Magisk Manager –> Settings –> Clear Repo Cache. Go back to the modules section and refresh the list after clearing the cache. This action makes the manager get the most recent data from the repository feed, which makes sure that all new modules are visible.

Coexistence with the Official Magisk Manager

You can use this modified version with the official Magisk Manager without any problems. To do this, you need to change the package ID of the official manager first. You can usually do this in the app’s settings or with a special app editor. You can make Android think it’s a different app by changing its unique identifier. After that, you can install the Alt-Repo manager, and both versions will work on your device without interfering with each other.

Understanding Google Play Protect Warnings

Google Play Protect will probably show a security warning during installation because the patched APK is signed with an unofficial, non-standard keystore. This warning means that Google doesn’t know who the developer of the app is. This is what should happen with any app that doesn’t have an official key. If you’re worried about this security alert, you can sign the APK yourself with a trusted personal keystore.

Important Disclaimer and User Responsibility

Please be aware that all modules downloaded from the Alt-Repo are provided as-is, with no guarantee or required support from the developers. You are completely responsible for installing and using these modules. We can’t promise that every module is safe, stable, or works perfectly. Before you install anything, we strongly suggest that you read the module descriptions carefully, be careful, and make sure that it works with your device and Android version.

Pre-Patched Releases and Automation

We offer pre-patched versions of stable Magisk Manager releases to make things easier for users and make them easier to get to. We set up an automated GitHub Workflow that gets the official Magisk Manager APK from topjohnwu’s release page and applies our patch. This workflow is set up to check for new official releases twice a day, at 00:00 UTC and 12:00 UTC. This makes sure that our pre-patched versions are always up to date.
