DummyDroidStubGen

DDSG (DummyDroidStubGen) is a simple, yet versatile linux app to generate "Dummy" packages (known as "Stubs") that serve as entry points for another app.

Use Cases

While there are a variety of use cases for DDSG, it was originally developed to reintroduce more granular gesture controls to Lawnchair. Specifically, a double-tap gesture to open a sandboxed application (One that is installed in the work profile through services like Insular, Island, etc).

Backstory

With the release of Lawnchair 15 Beta, the entire codebase was reworked. This reworking affected more than just gesture controls, however, these other changes aren't relevant to DDSG.

  DDSG contains a feature that makes a request to play.google.com to prevent duplicate package generation, however, this is disabled by default.

  DDSG also contains a feature that allows the user to convert an SVG to Android's Native VectorDrawable. This feature relies on code that was released with Android's Vector Studio, however, the precompiled binary does not make any network requests, or contain any storage capabilities.
