Requirements

Essential

• Android 7.0 (API 24) or higher
• Root access (preferred) OR Shizuku app installed and running

Permissions

• QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES - To list all installed apps
• Root permission OR Shizuku permission - The app first checks for root access, then falls back to Shizuku if root is unavailable

Installation

Option A: Rooted Device (Recommended)

1. Install the app from any of the sources above
2. When prompted, grant root permission
3. The app will use root access for all operations

Option B: Non-Rooted Device (Using Shizuku)

1. Install Shizuku

Download and install Shizuku from:

• Google Play Store
• GitHub Releases

2. Start Shizuku Service

Wireless Debugging:

1. Enable Developer Options on your device
2. Enable Wireless Debugging in Developer Options
3. Open Shizuku app
4. Tap "Pair" or "Start"
5. Follow the on-screen pairing instructions

How It Works

This app uses root access or Shizuku to execute privileged ADB commands:

1. Permission Check: The app first checks for root permission. If root is not available, it falls back to Shizuku
2. Root Integration: If rooted, executes commands directly with superuser privileges
3. Shizuku Integration: If not rooted, connects to the Shizuku service running on your device
4. Dumpsys Commands: Executes dumpsys activity services to get running service information
5. Parsing: Parses the dumpsys output to extract service details (package name, PID, process name, etc.)
6. Categorization: Separates services into System and User categories

Why Root or Shizuku?

Starting from Android 8.0 (API 26), the ActivityManager.getRunningServices() API was deprecated and restricted. Third-party apps can no longer query all running services on the device for privacy and security reasons.

Root access provides the most seamless experience:

• Direct access to system commands
• No additional setup required
• Works on all rooted devices

Shizuku provides an alternative for non-rooted devices:

• Running a privileged service that can access system APIs
• Allowing apps to execute ADB commands without root
• Working on non-rooted devices via Wireless Debugging (Android 11+) or USB ADB

Adding New Translations

Using AI Agent (Recommended)

Use the following prompt with an AI agent to automate the entire process:

Add <language> localization to this project:
1. Create app_<localeName>.arb in lib/l10n/ by translating all values from lib/l10n/app_en.arb. Keep the keys unchanged.
2. Add the new locale to AppConstants.languages in lib/core/constants.dart
3. Add the locale to android/app/src/main/res/xml/locales_config.xml
4. Run "flutter gen-l10n" and "dart run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs" commands
5. how to create a PR for this change

After completion, verify all translations are correct.

Manual Steps

Flutter Part

1. Create a new app_<localeName>.arb file in lib/l10n/ (e.g., app_es.arb for Spanish)

2. Translate all fields from app_en.arb file to the new language

3. Add the new language to lib/core/constants.dart:

   static const List<Lang> languages = [
     Lang(Locale('en'), 'English'),
     Lang(Locale('bn'), 'বাংলা'),
     Lang(Locale('zh'), '简体中文'),
     Lang(Locale('<localeName>'), '<Native Language Name>'), // Add here
   ];
   

4. Run the following commands in the project root:

   flutter gen-l10n
   dart run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs
   

Android Part

1. Add the new locale to android/app/src/main/res/xml/locales_config.xml:

   <locale android:name="<localeName>" />
