FOSS Alternatives for MacroDroid [NO ROOT Android]
FOSS Alternatives for MacroDroid [NO ROOT Android]
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 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.
key mapper on fdroid?
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.
There isn't one. Do you have any particular reasons why it needs to be FOSS?
In saying that, since both Termux and KDE Connect are opensource, you could raise a feature request on their Github pages to add an autostart feature to their respective apps.
