Androfus

Androfus is a professional-grade diagnostics and hardware interface utility suite for Android. It enables developers, system administrators, and hardware enthusiasts to interact with, monitor, and optimize Android systems and connected external USB peripherals.

To run Androfus, you need an Android device running Android 8.0 (Oreo) or later. To utilize physical hardware diagnostics, serial terminals, or HID controllers, your phone must support USB-OTG (On-The-Go) and have a compatible OTG adapter or cable.

Android devices act as "peripherals" by default when plugged into a PC. USB-OTG forces the phone to act as a "USB Host", supplying power and polling descriptors of external devices like USB sticks, mouse/keyboards, serial converters, and dev boards.

Androfus features a live connection indicator on the Dashboard. If you plug in a USB device and the indicator flashes green and reads "USB DETECTED", your system supports USB Host. Alternatively, you can run the diagnostic report within the app.

This is a standard security mechanism enforced by the Android Operating System. Third-party applications cannot automatically communicate with raw USB device attachments without explicit runtime approval from the user to prevent unauthorized data sniffing.

For standard users, Android doesn't allow bypassing this prompt. However, you can check the "Always open Androfus when this device is connected" box during the prompt, which will automatically map the app to the specific vendor ID (VID) and product ID (PID).

The Androfus Serial Console supports all major industrial converters out-of-the-box: FTDI (FT232R, FT231X), Silicon Labs (CP210X), Qinheng (CH340, CH341), and Prolific (PL2303). It also supports CDC-ACM class devices.

When opening the Serial Console module, you can choose from standard baud rates (9600, 115200, 57600, etc.) or type a custom value. You can also configure data bits, stop bits, parity, and hardware/software flow control parameters.

Yes. You can toggle between raw UTF-8 string streaming and formatted Hexadecimal view (with custom spaces and offsets). You can also type hex strings directly (e.g. `0F A2 44`) and send them as binary packets.

The HID (Human Interface Device) Emulator module turns your Android phone into a physical keyboard and mouse. It sends standard hardware control packets to connected PCs, Raspberry Pis, or other systems, making them believe a regular keyboard is plugged in.

Android USB HID requires USB Gadget / Accessory kernel driver support. Some stock Android kernels do not activate the HID driver endpoints on the hardware port. In these cases, you can utilize the Bluetooth HID Emulator instead.

Yes. If your phone runs Android 9.0 (Pie) or later, Androfus supports the native Bluetooth HID Profile. This allows you to pair your phone to a target PC or Smart TV and control it wirelessly as a mouse/keyboard without any cable.

You can write simple script files (e.g. typing text, introducing delays, and triggering shortcut key combinations) and run them. The emulator injects the hardware packets sequentially, useful for automated system configurations.

It uses a simplified version of Ducky Script syntax (e.g. `DELAY 500`, `STRING hello`, `ENTER`, `GUI r`). This makes it easy to write, import, and test payloads directly on the phone.

AndroVault Pro is a local encryption system integrated into the app. It allows you to create high-security lockers (containers) on your device storage to encrypt and protect private keys, firmware files, and logs.

They are stored in the app's sandboxed storage directory (`/data/user/0/com.eloygm.androfus/files/vault/`) or exported as secure `.vault` files to your SD card. They cannot be read by external apps or computer USB storage syncs unless decrypted.

No. 95% of Androfus features (OTG inspection, Serial Terminal, Bluetooth HID, AndroVault) run in standard user mode. Root privileges are entirely optional and only requested for low-level system-dependent options.

If root access is granted, the app unlocks the "Ghost Mounter" (which mounts external drives directly into the Android system filesystem) and the advanced "Script Runner" which can execute terminal commands as superuser (`su`).

BadUSB Guard is a defensive module. When active in the background, it monitors newly connected USB devices. If it detects a device registering itself as a keyboard/HID without user action (typical behavior of malicious USB keystroke injectors), it blocks inputs and alerts the user.

The Malware Sandbox is a secure isolated parser. You can import scripts or binary code files from external USB drives and run them inside a restricted virtual environment to inspect their execution logs without putting your main system files at risk.

Ghost Mounter is a drive mounter that bypasses Android's storage access framework restrictions. It mounts raw NTFS, ext4, or FAT32 partitions from USB drives directly into a mount point under `/mnt/media_rw/` so they can be read by any installed file manager.

It reads values directly from Android's hardware thermal zone API (`/sys/class/thermal/`). It tracks individual core sensors and battery temperature to display a real-time graph, helping you diagnose overheating when running intense operations.

Some connected devices (like mechanical hard drives or high-speed USB hubs) draw more than 500mA, which is the standard current limit for phone ports. We suggest using self-powered Y-OTG cables to avoid draining your phone battery or triggering port shutdowns.

You can use the suggestions form located at the bottom of the app's main Dashboard. You can type in any language you prefer; suggestions are submitted securely and parsed directly by the developer.

No, Androfus is designed specifically as an Android application. Due to Android's security constraints and direct hardware requirements, web browsers cannot communicate with low-level raw USB drivers or kernel interfaces directly.

No. Androfus is built with privacy in mind. All diagnostics, serial logs, script inputs, and encrypted vaults remain 100% offline on your device storage. The only network request made is for user-submitted suggestions or optional ad loading.
