🌌 CloneSpace

Rootless Multi-User Workspace & App Cloner for Android

---

📌 Introduction

CloneSpace is a modern, rootless Android application developed by UDhanika Dissanayaka (UDMODZ). Built using Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Material 3, CloneSpace leverages Android's native multi-user architecture via elevated Shizuku IPC (android.uid.shell).

Run multiple isolated instances of WhatsApp, Telegram, banking apps, or games in sandboxed profiles without third-party virtualization overhead, battery drain, or root access.

✨ Features

• ⚡ Rootless & Wireless: Works standalone via Shizuku without requiring root or computer tethering.
• 🏢 Managed Work Profiles: One-click creation of sandboxed work profiles (pm create-user --profileOf 0 --managed).
• 👥 Secondary Workspaces: Create independent user profiles with separate storage and accounts.
• 📦 Zero-Copy APK Cloning: Instant cloning via Android's package manager (pm install-existing --user <id> <pkg>). No duplicate APK downloads or storage bloat.
• 🚀 Direct App Launcher: Modern launcher using am start --user <id> supporting Android 8 to 16.
• 📌 Home Screen Shortcuts: Pin 1-tap shortcuts directly onto your primary home screen via ShortcutManagerCompat.
• 📊 Real-time Shell Stream: Live inspection of ADB commands, stdout, stderr, and execution codes with one-tap clipboard copy.
• 🛡️ Primary User Safeguard: Hard-coded safety protection preventing deletion or stopping of User 0.
• 🏎️ Ultra-Optimized Architecture: 1-call batch package inspection, 72px downsampled memory-safe icon thumbnails, and largeHeap support.
