CLUSTER ROOT-ANDROID-UTILITY · 11 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2018-05-18
Android system app removal tools
The cluster consists of Android utilities for managing system apps and caches, typically requiring root access or Shizuku. Its dated history shows entries scattered sparsely from May 2018 to June 2025 without a consistent pattern. The traction leaders are BusyBox Installer, De-Bloater, and Canta, each with zero stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
