06Frequently asked questions
How do I install dsh-mobile-apk?
Install the single APK on your Android device; no separate Termux app is needed. On first launch the embedded runtime extracts in about 10 seconds and starts the dsh engine from the app's own files.
Does it need internet after install?
No. The embedded runtime extracts and runs fully offline after the first launch. Online is only used for optional runtime updates.
What URL does the web agent run on?
The mobile UI is a system WebView served over http://127.0.0.1:3080, with a responsive drawer/sheet UI adapted for phones.
How do runtime updates work without an APK update?
Updates are manifest-driven snapshot swaps: download → sha256 verify → atomic switch → auto-restart, so the running runtime can update itself without a new APK.
What permissions does it request?
It requests All Files Access and an optional Shizuku keep-alive boost, exposes a SAF directory bridge, and runs a keep-alive foreground service with a watchdog that restarts a dead engine.
