π Technical Overview
How it Works
- Accessibility Service: Utilizes
flagRequestFilterKeyEventsto capture keycodes before they reach the system. - Shizuku Integration: MindControl leverages Shizuku to execute "Secured" actions (like toggling Mobile Data or simulating input while the screen is off) without requiring Root.
- Device Protected Storage: Settings are stored in a context that is accessible before the user unlocks the device after a reboot, ensuring MindControl works instantly.
π₯ Installation
- Sideload the APK from the Downloads section.
- Enable Accessibility: Navigate to
Settings > Accessibility > MindControland toggle it ON. - Grant Shizuku Access (Recommended): For "Screen Off" actions to work reliably, ensure Shizuku is running and authorized.
- Battery Optimization: Exclude MindControl from battery optimization to prevent the system from killing the background service.
π‘ Privacy & Security
- No Internet Permission: MindControl does not have access to the internet; your button presses and data stay on your device.
- Local Processing: All key event filtering happens locally within the Accessibility Service.
- Open Source: Transparent code for a transparent experience.

How Shizuku is used
Can detect hardware button presses via `getevent` and toggle radios, brightness, location and mic privacy via shell commands through Shizuku.
This is an AI-assisted analysis of Shizuku-related usages in the app's public source code. It is best effort, so it may not catch every single usage.
How this app uses Shizuku
MindControl uses Shizuku to watch physical buttons at kernel level and to run privileged toggles assigned to button presses.
- Detect hardware buttons: reads raw key input with the
geteventshell command through Shizuku and maps scancodes to volume, power, camera, focus and assistant keys, including when the screen is off or locked. - Toggle wireless connections: a button press switches Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile data or NFC on or off with the
svc wifi,svc bluetooth,svc dataandsvc nfcshell commands through Shizuku. - Switch auto brightness: a button press flips automatic brightness on or off with the
settings put system screen_brightness_modeshell command through Shizuku. - Switch location mode: a button press turns location off or back to high accuracy with the
settings put secure location_modeshell command through Shizuku. - Mute microphone privacy: a button press checks and flips the system microphone block with
cmd sensor_privacyshell commands through Shizuku and syncs the software mute state. - Send menu key: a button action injects the menu key with the
input keyeventshell command through Shizuku. - Assist display settings: after opening Display settings from the lift to wake prompt, the app auto scrolls to the bottom with
input swipeandinput keyeventshell commands through Shizuku.

Notable details
Without Shizuku, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile data, NFC and location button actions do nothing. Auto brightness can still work through the normal system settings path, and microphone mute falls back to software mute only.
