Review summary

EX Kernel Manager is praised for its straightforward UI and rich kernel-management features (CPU/GPU/battery monitoring, backup and flashing). However, users report stability issues after updates, root permission problems, and uneven compatibility across Android versions and devices. Many reviews request additional features (widget for apply-on-boot, screen-off/battery info, GPU/CPU frequency controls). Flashing can fail on some devices (Android 14 read-only partitions; black screens on rooted devices). Overall it's a highly regarded tool, but reliability and cross-device compatibility improvements are frequently sought.

Pros

Straightforward, easy-to-use interface and setup
Rich kernel-management features: CPU/GPU/battery monitoring, backup, and flashing
Long-standing, trusted kernel manager with a positive reputation
Good value for money
Widely appreciated for its monitoring capabilities and overall usefulness across devices

Cons

Stability issues and crashes after updates or during use (e.g., crashes when selecting certain options, flash-related failures)
Root access and detection problems (root not detected or permission prompts not functioning; black screen after flashing on rooted devices)
Compatibility and stability across Android versions/devices (Android 16 issues, Android 14 read-only partitions, device-specific crashes)
Missing features frequently requested by users (widget for apply-on-boot, screen-off/battery info, GPU/CPU frequency controls, min CPU frequency for second cluster)
UI/usability concerns mentioned by some users (perceived poor UI)

2025-12-25	Jo*****	The app works amazingly well! The only issue I find is that the GPU option to always_on does not apply after rebooting, but that's okay, keep up the good work!
