What it does

dsh Android shell APK — WebView UI + embedded Termux runtime snapshot (unzip and run), SAF directory bridge, keep-alive service, watchdog, runtime online updates.

Our take
Recommended — verified working and popular

dsh Android shell APK — WebView UI + embedded Termux runtime snapshot (unzip and run), SAF directory bridge, keep-alive service, watchdog, runtime online updates. It installs cleanly and boots without issues in our testing. With 233+ stars it's a community-endorsed, low-risk pick.

“Verified” means our automated CI actually ran dsh plugin add in a clean profile and it booted — nothing more. Feature descriptions and version compatibility are the author’s claims. This is not a security audit and not an endorsement of third-party code.

⚠️ 0.13.0-preview — preview release: unstable, intended for community validation — do not rely on it in production.

  • ADB is not complete: pairing / port auto-scan / execution are preview UI screens — the real ADB channel is under development and completes in the 0.13.0 official release.
  • Plugin-marketplace caveat: the built-in marketplace covers many third-party plugins, and most of them are likely unavailable or buggy on phones (mobile vs desktop differ in WebView engine / filesystem / permission model / runtime). Mobile adaptation is long-term work — treat this beta as usability validation & feedback, not a production dependency. Report plugin issues to the issue tracker with device model / version / reproduction steps.

Android shell for DeepSeek Harness: WebView UI
over an embedded Termux runtime snapshot (extract-and-run, no Termux app needed), SAF directory
bridge, keep-alive foreground service, engine watchdog, and online runtime updates. One APK to
install: it boots a full dsh web agent that can really execute bash. App name DeepCode (icon text
DeepSearch), package com.dsharnessmobile.shell, version 0.13.0-preview (versionCode 24).

Features

  • Embedded runtime — xz snapshot (arm64 151.6 MB / x86_64 158.9 MB) bundling node + git + bash +
    coreutils + dsh + plugins + pnpm + python/perl/ruby; first launch extracts in 2–4 min
    (refreshSnapshot), engine listens on 127.0.0.1:3080; fully offline.
  • File-to-session (F5) — "Open with / Share" auto-jumps into this app and forces a fresh temp
    workspace session for the file; temp workspaces get a 7-day TTL auto-cleanup and appear in the
    workspace panel (issue #60).
  • Search (grep/glob) — mobile ripgrep platform package (android-arm64, pcre2/NEON full-featured).
  • Notifications — automatic task-completion notifications (engine event bridge + watchdog
    consumer); system notification chain incl. authorization requests.
  • Mobile UI — responsive plugin (drawer/sheet on phones); adjustable font size, immersive status
    bar, dark theme.
  • Built-in console — standalone bash terminal (assets/console.html + embedded Termux), usable
    for diagnostics even when the engine is down.
  • Keep-alive — foreground service + 5s watchdog (auto-restarts a hung engine) + 3s UI monitor
    poll + crash auto-rollback gate (UndoGate).
  • Online runtime updates — manifest-driven snapshot swap (download → sha256 → atomic switch →
    auto-restart); the running runtime can update itself without an APK update.
  • SAF bridgepickDirectory maps the picked tree to a real path (/storage/emulated/0/…).
  • Device access — All Files Access; Shizuku probe example.
  • ADB authorization UI (preview) — three-gate authorization state machine + pairing-port
    auto-scan; the real ADB channel lands in the 0.13.0 official release.

Download / Install

Release v0.13.0-preview ships two ABI variants:

APK Target
dsh-mobile-apk-v0.13.0-preview-arm64.apk arm64 devices (real phones)
dsh-mobile-apk-v0.13.0-preview-x86_64.apk x86_64 emulators / devices
adb install -r -t <apk>    # same-signature overwrite install

ABI must match the device. A mismatched snapshot crashes the engine at startup — node ELF
EM_X86_64 vs EM_AARCH64. Pick arm64 for real phones, x86_64 for emulators.

Build

Snapshot build & packaging live in the coordination repo
(dsh-mobile); this repo is the shell. Requirements:
JDK 17+, Android SDK (compileSdk 36); Gradle 8.11.1 via wrapper.

# Snapshot build (Termux sources + dependency closure + pnpm + cordis overrides + slimming):
node scripts\build-snapshot-013.mjs <arm64|x86_64>

# One-shot packaging (snapshot → injection → gates → gradle):
pwsh scripts\build-apk-013.ps1 -Suffix "-preview"
# output: out\v0.13.0\dsh-mobile-apk-v<ver>-<abi>.apk

Gates (inside build-apk-013.ps1): third-party compliance (check-third-party.mjs, GPL
obligations) / secrets / ELF / cordis mount-set ⊇ injected set / LICENSES self-check (Python
streaming) — any failure rejects the build.

Bridge protocol v1 (window.androidBridge)

App name DeepCode (icon text DeepSearch), package com.dsharnessmobile.shell.
androidBridge.version returns the app version (currently 0.13.0-preview, versionCode 24);
pages feature-detect on it. The ADB methods below are the preview authorization surface — the real
channel completes in the 0.13.0 official release.

Synchronous

method signature description
version () → string app version (0.13.0-preview) for feature detection
getSystemDark () → boolean system dark mode (bypasses vendor WebViews whose matchMedia is stuck on light; used by the first-frame theme bridge)
checkEngine () → string probes 127.0.0.1:3080; JSON {running, latencyMs, error?}
hasAllFilesAccess () → boolean whether All Files Access is granted (external workspace requirement)
getPickToken () → string one-shot token for the directory-picker bridge (validated by the engine-side pick endpoint)
copyText (text) → boolean native clipboard write (WebView clipboard.writeText is always rejected; page falls back to this)
getDevLogEnabled () → boolean dev debug-log toggle state
getAdbState () → string ADB authorization state view (gate state machine): JSON {fullAccess, allowSwitch, paired, wirelessDebugOn, message} (preview)
discoverAdbPorts () → string wireless-debug port auto-scan (native TCP sweep): pairing-port candidates as JSONArray; [] while wireless debugging is off (preview)
setAdbPair (code, pairPort, connectPort) → boolean gate-3 pairing: real adb pair handshake; the code goes to argv only — never into the audit log (preview)
adbShell (cmd) → string ADB shell primitive: JSON {ok, stdout?, stderr?, guidance?}; fail-closed when not authorized (preview)

Commands

method signature description
keepScreenOn (enable) screen-on wake lock
showNotification (title, text) test notification channel (POST_NOTIFICATIONS)
pickDirectory (callbackId) SAF tree picker; result async via window.__dshBridge.onDirectoryPicked(callbackId, path)
pickImage (callbackId) SAF image picker; result async via the same callback
setTextZoom (percent) WebView font scale (50–200; Settings → General slider)
setImmersiveMode (enable) immersive status bar toggle (true = status bar normally hidden)
downloadDebugLogs () exports engine logs + environment info (zipped, system download/share dialog)
requestAllFilesAccess () opens the system All Files Access grant page (special permission)
restartEngine () restarts the engine process (EngineService watchdog brings it back)
shutdownToGuide () stops the engine and falls back to the test screen (no auto-restart)
reloadWebUI () reloads the Web UI
openConsole () opens the built-in console
setDevLogEnabled (enabled) sets the dev debug-log toggle (logs go under dshdata/log/ when on)
setAdbAllow (enable) gate-2 "allow access" switch (default off; off ⇒ channel fail-closed) (preview)
revokeAdbPair () revoke pairing (disconnect + delete adbkey + clear state; audited) (preview)

The bridge decouples the APK from the dsh version: pages feature-detect on androidBridge.version.

Online update protocol

  1. App fetches manifest.json: {url, sha256, size} (default http://10.0.2.2:8899/manifest.json
    for emulator testing; production points at a release server);
  2. Downloads the snapshot, verifies SHA-256, extracts to a staging dir (never touching the live tree),
    atomically swaps usrusr-old → new usr, then kills the old engine — the watchdog
    restarts it from the new runtime.

Test trigger: adb shell am start -n com.dsharnessmobile.shell/.MainActivity -a com.dsharnessmobile.shell.action.UPDATE;
status is written to files/update-status.txt. Test server: serve manifest.json + the snapshot from any
local HTTP server (default endpoint http://10.0.2.2:8899/manifest.json maps the host from the emulator).

Permissions

permission purpose
INTERNET WebView + engine probe
POST_NOTIFICATIONS notification channel (runtime request on API 33+)
FOREGROUND_SERVICE + FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC keep-alive foreground service
MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE All Files Access (external workspace requirement; special permission, user-granted)

SAF picking needs no permission.

ABI & pagesize

arm64 and x86_64 are both verified end-to-end; APKs are distributed per-ABI (the embedded snapshot
is arch-specific). A 16KB-page build must be produced on a 16KB device (see docs/design.md §ABI).

License

MIT. Contains third-party components under their own licenses (see dependency declarations).
GPL compliance: copyleft license texts ship in all three forms — snapshot usr/share/LICENSES/,
repo LICENSES/, and APK assets/licenses/. Design rationale: docs/design.md.

Install

🧩 Let your agent install it (recommended)

Install the catalog once, then DeepSeek Harness can find and install any plugin from this site automatically:

dsh plugin add dshbase-catalog

Then say "install dsh-mobile-apk for me" — your agent finds it in the directory and installs it. Docs: dshbase-catalog · verified packs.

This plugin is GitHub source (not published to npm) — install it straight from the repo:

Web profile:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:kelai141/dsh-mobile-apk

Headless (CLI) profile:

dsh plugin --profile headless add github:kelai141/dsh-mobile-apk

Test report

Verified: L1 install + L2 load + L3 runtime from GitHub source on dsh 0.1.0-rc.6.

When to use it

Improve the terminal experience — a TUI, command palette, or shell integration — so dsh feels native in a terminal.

Who it's for

Terminal-first developers who drive dsh from the command line and want it to behave like the CLI agents they know.

For developers — extending it

The TUI layout and shell integration are the seams — add panels, keybindings, or new shell hooks.
