APM - Version 2.0.3b [ Open-Beta ]

Compiled at: April 18th, 2026. - 5:00 PM Eastern Time.

Changelogs

• Replaced sources.list with .repo files that go in /data/apm/sources/.
• Added an apm add-repo /path/to/repofile.repo command so that users do not need adb -d root or be the root user in general to add repositories. There will be a command to remove repositories soon.
• Improved the compatibility of commands that come from Termux repositories.

Bugs

• None found so far.

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-20260418-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!
• sources.list files may no longer work, and you will have to re-add your repositories via .repo files.
• 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.
