I want to auto start Termux and KDE Connect whenever I reboot. I basically need to launch android applications Termux and KDE connect while my Samsung phone starts and it can’t do it by itself, so, I want a app like MacroDroid which is opensource.

    There’s an app “Automation” on F-Droid. Looks retro af but should be able to do this.

      edit 3: https://sh.itjust.works/post/4724765 :(

      edit 2: It doesn’t require root, I don’t know why I didn’t use this application. The application I was talking about was different.

      edit: I think it required root. I can’t root :(

      actually, I tried it out, but I don’t know how to make it do this. Not very user friendly

        I tried and the app doesn’t seem to work on my phone, but in theory:

        Rule > add rule > add trigger > device starts > yes

        Add action > start another program > scroll down > select app (pick app) + select activity + choose manually > probably pick “main” activity

        Save rule (this where I get an error and idk why)

        Back to overview > start service

        Someone lmk if this works, the app complains about writable memory and won’t save rules for me.

      how would one auto-start keyboard on reboot using Key Mapper? edit (2 days later): Key Mapper is really good btw, thank you for suggesting me this

        Key mapper is great for remapping keys, but it is not a replacement for an automation app.
