Magisk is an app that lets you install modules on the Android system to deeply customize it, allowing you to run 32-bit apps on the Pixel 7, for example. The good news is that it is now receiving initial Android 14 support with a major update that was announced today by developer John Wu, the creator of Magisk.
Wu says the new version brings several fixes that allow Magisk to be used on more phones like the Galaxy S23 line and other Samsung devices.
The update brings improvements in support for Magic Mount modules, Zygisk API and brings the SELinux patch component to the latest version with improved pre-boot partition detection.
None of the active developers of Magisk, including myself, have hardware to run Android Lollipop. We rely on Android emulator for regression testing on older platforms, however Google never shipped a Lollipop emulator image that has SELinux support, so not much we can do 🤷♂️

The developer notes that Magisk 26.0 is only compatible with phones running Android 6.0 or newer, which is necessary to maintain compatibility with newer phones and keep the code as clean as possible.
In addition, you need to reinstall Magisk in case the device is reset if you use a custom Recovery on your smartphone.
It is worth mentioning that Magisk 26.0 only had its list of changes announced at the moment, as the developer claims that he is still compiling the binary installation files for the application, which should be made available soon on his official Github page.
