I think I’ll have another go, it it surprises me how poorly documented this is. Here are my notes and links …
- I find an app called autolaunch which seems to rely on one called tasker, which looks like a macro engine.
- This is called “How to Add Startup Applications to an Android“, which recommends autostart no root. Is this what we need?
- This article is equally mysterious. It gives instructions once one’s installed the trigger app. It says,
The application allows you to pick one app that’ll be launched whenever you reboot your device. You can install such applications from the App Store or install autostart apk from Google. If your phone isn’t rooted then you can install an autostart no root apk.
