# ROOTZ for Android
|
|
|
|
ROOTZ is a personal command center — research, notes, calendar, wardrobe,
|
|
and media in one place. This page hosts the official Android releases.
|
|
There is no Play Store listing; the app updates itself from here.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Android 7.0 or newer
|
|
- About 100 MB free space (30 MB app + downloads)
|
|
- Internet connection (your data syncs with your private server)
|
|
|
|
## Install / update
|
|
|
|
1. Open **Releases** (right sidebar) and download the newest
|
|
`ROOTZ-vX.X.X.apk` file.
|
|
2. Open the downloaded file. Android will ask you to **allow installs
|
|
from this source** once — enable it and go back.
|
|
3. Tap **Install**, then **Open** and sign in.
|
|
|
|
Updates work the same way without you visiting this page: the app checks
|
|
for new versions on launch and shows an **Update available** popup with
|
|
**Update now** and **Skip**. Tapping Update now downloads and installs
|
|
in the background — your login and data are kept.
|
|
|
|
## Verify a download (optional)
|
|
|
|
Every release lists its SHA-256 checksum. To confirm your file is genuine
|
|
and untampered, compare it with any checksum tool before installing.
|
|
All releases are signed with the same developer certificate — Android
|
|
itself refuses any update signed differently, so a mismatched signature
|
|
can never silently replace your app.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
- **"App not installed — package conflicts"**: an older copy (often a debug
|
|
build, work-profile copy, or second-space clone) is still on the phone.
|
|
Uninstall every copy of ROOTZ, then install fresh.
|
|
- **Stuck on "Allow from this source"**: enable the toggle, press Back —
|
|
the installer continues automatically. If it doesn't, reopen ROOTZ and
|
|
tap Update now again.
|
|
- **"Download failed"**: check your connection and retry from inside the
|
|
app. The download resumes automatically on flaky networks.
|
|
- **Login asked again after update**: normal only if your session expired
|
|
while updating — sign in once, it stays.
|
|
|
|
## Privacy
|
|
|
|
Your notes, papers, calendar, and files live on your own server, not with
|
|
any app store. The app requests only the permissions it needs (network,
|
|
notifications, biometrics, storage for downloads). Crash and diagnostic
|
|
reports are sent only when you tap "Report a problem" in Settings.
|
|
|
|
## Support
|
|
|
|
Inside the app: Settings → Report a problem (attaches diagnostics
|
|
automatically — mention what you were doing when it broke).
