KernelForge is a mobile application built with Next.js and Capacitor, designed to streamline and automate Android custom kernel development and packaging directly from your device.
This application serves as a comprehensive dashboard and toolkit for Android modders and kernel developers. Instead of relying heavily on manual terminal compilation, KernelForge allows you to visually orchestrate:
- Automated Kernel Patching: Easily configure customized kernel builds for modern Android devices. Integrate critical root and filesystem hiding frameworks like KernelSU, SUSFS, and NoMount seamlessly into your kernel source.
- AnyKernel3 Packaging: Avoid manually copying
Image.lz4files around. The system helps you output completed, flashable AnyKernel3 ZIPs that are immediately ready for custom recovery installation. - AI-Powered Log Analysis: An integrated AI troubleshooter module that can quickly scan messy log outputs for KMI/GKI compatibility issues, failed patch hooks, and missing dependencies, saving hours of debugging time.
KernelForge is a locally installable Android app (ARM64). It leverages a Capacitor wrapper around a statically exported Next.js frontend to give you full standalone functionality directly on your phone.
- Web Framework: Next.js 15
- Native Bridge: Capacitor 6

This repository is configured with a complete GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline.
Whenever a new version tag (e.g., v1.0.0) is pushed to this repository, GitHub Actions will:
- Compile the Next.js static payload.
- Inject it into the Android Capacitor wrapper.
- Automatically build, align, and sign the
arm64-v8aAPK. - Publish the finished APK right to the "Releases" page for easy downloading and sideloading.
