VMPro

A lightweight Android app that surfaces publicly available release downloads from GitHub and lets you grab them on-device. Built from scratch in Kotlin + Jetpack Compose — original code, not derived from any existing manager app.

App name VMPro · versionName 4.1 · website https://vancedmanager.com

We build this manager from scratch, we just add publicly available links from GitHub users: J-hc, ReVanced, & Morphe.

What it does

Three tabs, all fetched live from the GitHub REST API (no token needed):

• Apps — installable APKs, grouped by patch project:
  • Morphe: Twitter*, YouTube, YT Music, Reddit
  • ReVanced: YouTube, YT Music
• MicroG — the GmsCore backend needed for non-root builds:
  • GmsCore — ReVanced/GmsCore
  • MicroG RE — MorpheApp/MicroG-RE
• Modules — the same app list as Apps but the Magisk/KernelSU .zip modules.

* Twitter (piko) is only published as a module .zip, so it appears under Modules and is marked N/A under Apps — the manager never fabricates a file that doesn't exist upstream.

The app never hosts, builds, or modifies any file — every download comes straight from the official GitHub release pages.

Building

Requirements: JDK 17 and the Android SDK (build-tools 34, platform android-34).

./gradlew assembleDebug      # debug build
./gradlew assembleRelease    # signed, R8-optimized release build (~2 MB)

Output: app/build/outputs/apk/{debug,release}/.

• minSdk 24 · targetSdk 34 · Gradle 8.9 · AGP 8.5.2 · Kotlin 1.9.24
• Release builds run R8 (code shrink/obfuscate) + resource shrinking.

Signing

Release signing is read from keystore.properties at the project root (gitignored — never commit it). Format:

storeFile=keystore/vmpro-release.jks
storePassword=********
keyAlias=vmpro
keyPassword=********

If keystore.properties is absent, the release build is produced unsigned (so CI without the key still compiles).

Analytics key

Analytics (Aptabase) is injected at build time from local.properties (gitignored):

aptabase.key=A-XX-XXXXXXXXXX

Leave it blank to disable analytics entirely — the app runs normally either way. Get a key free at https://aptabase.com (or self-host).

Install on a device

Copy the APK to your phone and open it (enable "install unknown apps" for your file manager), or via ADB:

adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/release/vmpro-4.1.apk
