APM - Version 2.0.4b [ Open-Beta ]

APM - Version 2.0.4b [ Open-Beta ]

Compiled at: April 24th, 2026. - 11:20 PM Eastern Time.

Changelogs

• Improved package extraction and installation so most packages should be installable now.
• Added apm list-repos and apm remove-repo <name|name.repo> to list installed repositories and remove them too.

Bugs

• Not all packages can be installed still, but most should now be installable.

Installation Instructions

(Notice: This has been tested on the Google Pixel 7a (lynx) on LineageOS 23.2, so installation instructions may vary!)

• Complete and exit the setup screen of LineageOS if you haven't already. Skip this step if you have already setup LineageOS.
• Plug in your phone to your computer and reboot into recovery mode. This can be done via various methods, so find how to enter recovery mode on your phone.
• Go into "Advanced"/"Advanced Options" and press "Mount/unmount system", then press "Enable ADB".
• Go back and go to "Apply update" and then press "Apply from ADB".
• Go to your Terminal or Command Prompt, and start ADB via adb start-server if you haven't already done so. After that, run adb devices and check if your device is detected like this for example: 34211JEHN02170 sideload.
• Run adb -d sideload <apm-zip-file.zip>. An example would be: adb -d sideload apm-lineage-recovery-20260424-arm64-v8a.zip. LineageOS Recovery may say that the signature of the ZIP file is invalid or something -- Continue on with installation, as that is expected.
• Once installation finishes, reboot your phone back to the system. The system should boot as normal.
• You're finished. That's it.

Notes

• All of APM and AMS are now essentially complete in terms of functionality and stability. Expect less updates due to this.
• Some bugs may still exist, so please remember to report any bugs to me!
• Fun Fact: Both APM and AMS survive OTA updates via addon.d!

XDA users (or other people who have found this, read me!

Hello! I hope you guys enjoy APM and AMS, and remember to report any bugs to me! This project took five months so far to make with many trials and errors. I really hope APM and AMS will be useful for people.

To use APM, enable "USB Debugging" (ADB) and "Rooted Debugging" in Developer Options, then run adb -d root and then adb -d shell. Once in the shell, run whoami to make sure you are the root user; and run apm ping and make sure it responds with OK: pong.
