Youki DEX

YoukiDEX is a full Android desktop experience built on top of Smart Dock — no launcher swap needed. Runs as a system overlay with full UI customization, persistent dock, notification panel, icon pack support, and massive stability improvements.

🚀 Quick Start

Once installed and permissions are granted:

1. Open the YoukiDEX app and configure your basic settings 2. Navigate to your device's notification/status bar 3. Add the YoukiDEX shortcut tile to your quick settings panel 4. Tap the shortcut — and you're in!

⚠️ Important

Some features require granting elevated permissions via ADB. Without them, certain functions like secure settings or recent apps will not work.

adb shell pm grant com.youki.dex android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS adb shell appops set com.youki.dex GET_USAGE_STATS allow

⚠️ Known Issues

RedMagic & ZTE — Floating Windows not working

These manufacturers block Freeform/Floating Windows by default. To fix:

1. Enable Developer Options (tap Build Number 7 times) 2. In Developer Options enable: - Force activities to be resizable - Enable freeform windows 3. Go to Settings → Display → Desktop Mode and enable it 4. Reboot

This is a manufacturer restriction, not a bug in YoukiDEX.

Force Landscape not working on some apps

Apps that hardcode portrait orientation in their own Manifest cannot be forced to landscape without root or system app privileges. This is an Android OS limitation and cannot be worked around at the app level.
