An awesome Windows Application to easily install and use the Windows Subsystem For Android™.
A full rewrite of this project will happen soon. I've just gone back to school, so I probably won't be able to respond to issues for a few weeks. Please do not expect any changes or updates for a few weeks.
This project includes tools to install and use the Windows Subsystem For Android™ platform on Windows 11. These tools include:
- Installation of any APK file in one click.
- Access to the ADB Shell.
- Installation of Windows Subsystem For Android™ in unsupported regions.
- Installation of the Aurora Store as an alternative to the Google Play Store.
- Installation of a simple app launcher for easy access to other apps.
- Installation of any APK file by just double clicking on it
COMING SOON:
- Drag and drop functionality for APK on the window.
- Add a file queue to queue up installations
This tool was inspired by the Fire Toolbox application, which was used to gain unintended functionality on Amazon Fire Tablets, easily and safely.
This project is built using the HTA HTML Application platform developed by Microsoft, as well as the simple scripting language, VBScript and the use of batch files. It also uses ADB for connection with the virtual device and winhttpjs for downloading files. It is all packaged up into an EXE file with the help of The Batchman.
This project also uses a customised version of the Simple Android Launcher project by Simple Mobile Tools which provides a launcher for your installed Android applications. The Application name has been changed to Android Apps to work better with the Windows Start Menu.
See the releases tab for the latest versions of this application, available in an EXE file. Simply run the file to start the tool.
Make sure you enable "Developer Options" in the Windows Subsystem for Android Settings App to make this toolbox function.
You can get installation instructions for installing the Windows Subsystem for Android package here.
