Rodin Essential v1.18.0

Release for POCO X7 Pro / Redmi Turbo 4 (rodin).

Highlights

  • Independent CPU core and frequency controls for the efficiency, performance,
    and prime policies, with live OPP validation and exact frequency locks.
  • Exact CPU locks can sustain the full 2100/3000/3250 MHz policy maxima across
    late Xiaomi and MediaTek updates and after a fresh boot.
  • GPU profiles remain independent from CPU frequencies and governors. Extreme
    Beast holds the Mali GPU at 1300 MHz while Gaming Dynamic retains the full
    260-1300 MHz range.
  • KernelSU Next and Magisk startup safely reclaims stale watchdog locks and
    restores persisted controls after Android and vendor services settle.
  • KernelSU Next and Magisk install the socket policy for the root manager's
    active su, ksu, or magisk SELinux domain, then verify and reapply that
    rule to the live policy after boot. This covers manager builds that skip or
    race the early module-policy loader and prevents a healthy daemon from
    appearing Offline. Module Action reports the live patch result and engine.
  • Daemon IPC authenticates the installed application's Linux UID with
    SO_PEERCRED; other ordinary applications cannot issue hardware commands.
  • Improved Goodix and FocalTech touch handling, including persistent 250 Hz,
    500 Hz, and compatible 1000 Hz output scheduling.
  • Correct native 250-mode calibration; the physical panel no longer falls back
    to roughly 135 Hz while the TouchFeature HAL reports 240 Hz.
  • Idempotent boot restoration leaves an already-correct ZRAM device running
    instead of resetting swap during every late vendor-settling pass.
  • ROM-aware resolution density and live adaptive refresh-rate telemetry.
  • Faster cold launches with a plain application launch surface and a verified
    runtime-asset cache that safely invalidates after application updates.
  • Combined KernelSU Next and Magisk package with the unprivileged application,
    ARM64 daemon, and command-line health client.

Installation

  1. Flash Rodin-Essential-KernelSU-Next-Magisk-v1.18.0.zip in KernelSU Next or
    Magisk while Android is running.
  2. Reboot once.
  3. Open Rodin Essential and select the desired controls or profile.

Existing module installations can be updated by flashing this ZIP directly.
The module ID, version, and application signing identity remain unchanged.

Important

  • Intended only for the rodin device family.
  • Do not install this module on a ROM that already integrates Rodin Essential
    as a native system service. Use either the ROM-native backend or this root
    module, never both.
  • Keep one consistent installation method when updating.
  • A custom CPU range selects Xiaomi's OEM thermal-nolimits configuration so
    Xiaomi's userspace CPU ceiling cannot replace the requested range. Thermal
    services remain running, hardware critical-temperature shutdown remains
    authoritative, and the previous Xiaomi configuration is restored after the
    final custom CPU range is reset.
  • Performance controls can materially increase power draw, heat, and
    instability.
  • The bundled APK is signed for the root-module release channel; it is not a
    universal update for ROM builds signed with a different application key.
  • Recovery installation is not supported.
