A summary, not legal advice.

WHY IT MATTERS

A screen that folds with the phone's motion used to belong to one device. DuoFold takes the current display through Shizuku and reprojects it with OpenGL ES, so tilting the phone moves perspective, blur and lighting in real time. No root is required, the app has no Internet permission and neither stores nor uploads screen images, and it is MIT. A standard build covers Android 14 and newer, a compatibility build 10 to 13; real-device testing so far is on a Xiaomi 15.

BUILD FROM THIS

  • An eye-catching screen effect on a shop demo phone
  • A study piece on wiring motion sensors to GPU reprojection on Android

WHO IT'S FOR

Android developer
wants to see screen capture plus GPU reprojection done
Phone tinkerer
already runs Shizuku and wants a new effect

START IN 5 MINUTES

# From the Latest Release, get the standard APK (Android 14+) or the compat APK (10–13)
# Install Shizuku and start its service via wireless debugging or ADB
# In the app: 01 authorize Shizuku → 02 accessibility service → 03 try 10 s → 04 global effect

CAVEATS

  • Shizuku must be installed and running (no root needed)
  • Tested only on a Xiaomi 15 / Android 16; vendor limits may differ
  • Extended use raises GPU load and battery drain
