Variables

Usable Variables (Other than ones in customize.sh)

  • MODPATH - Working directory of installer (source directory/origin of files to be installed) - note that for magisk installs, this is also the destination path as well - files are all extracted to MODPATH in the beginning
  • UNITY - Location to mod directory - equal to the magisk img directory if magisk, equal to nothing otherwise (destination directory). Note that almost every destination file/folder should be preceded by this variable (Ex: $UNITY/system/lib/file.so)
  • BOOTMODE - Equal to true if in magisk manager, false otherwise
  • SYS - Location of destination system folder - this is always equal to /system in the installer so it's real use is for boot and terminal scripts (always works due to how it's mounted during the install)
  • VEN - Location of destination vendor folder
  • MODID - 'id' from module.prop - the unique identifier for your mod
  • MODULEROOT - if magisk install - path to magisk update img
  • MOUNTEDROOT - if magisk install - path to currently mounted magisk img (if in twrp, same as MODULEROOT)
  • NVBASE - if magisk install - path to magisk files (usually /data/adb), if system install - path of boot scripts (like /system/etc/init.d)
  • LIBDIR - If DYNAMICLIB=true: Equal to /vendor if rom is oreo+, /system otherwise
  • LIBPATCH - Same as libdir but formatted for sed with standard '/' delimiter
  • MAGISK - Set to 'true' if magisk is detected, 'false' otherwise - Useful if you want parts to only run with/without magisk installs
  • API - Taken from build.prop. Equal to the API version of the rom installed
  • ABILONG - Taken from build.prop. Equal to the ABI version of the device
  • ABI - Taken from build.prop. Equal to the ABI number (first 3 characters of ABILONG) of the device (equals either arm or x86)
  • ABI2 - Taken from build.prop. Equal to the ABI2 number of the device (first 3 characters)
  • ARCH - Equal to the cpu type of the device - equal to arm, arm64, x86, or x86_64
  • ARCH32 - Equal to the simplified cpu type of the device - equal to 'arm' or 'x86'
  • IS64BIT - Set to 'true' if 64 bit capable device is detected, set to 'false' otherwise
  • ORIGDIR - The original directory for device files (original files unaffected by magisk mounting). Equals $MAGISKTMP/mirror if in BOOTMODE, nothing otherwise (MAGISKTMP=/sbin/.magisk for magisk 18+). This is useful if you're copying files from the device to your mod for modification.
  • ORIGVEN - Equal to the original vendor directory. This is more complex than you'd think with magisk or else I wouldn't have it here

Variables for boot scripts (differ slightly from main installer ones)

  • ROOT - Location of root of file system such as with pixels using supersu (where instead of being nothing, is /system_root)
  • SYS - Location of system folder - equal to $ROOT/system
  • VEN - Same as before
  • MODID - Same as before
  • MAGISK - Same as before
  • LIBDIR - Same as before
  • INFO - Equal to the INFO file (contains a list of all installed files not in magisk mod directory)
  • MODPATH - Equal to current directory
