Stealth Service
Stealth Service provides ADB-level system access without root, enabling advanced features like system app control, WiFi/Bluetooth toggles, and shell command execution.
What is Stealth Service?
Stealth Service is a system service that runs with ADB (Android Debug Bridge) privileges, giving Stealth elevated permissions without requiring root access. This unlocks powerful capabilities that normally require root or Device Owner mode.
System App Control
Clear cache and manage system applications that normally require elevated permissions.
System Settings
Toggle WiFi, Bluetooth, mobile data, and other system settings programmatically.
Shell Commands
Execute ADB shell commands directly from Stealth for advanced automation.
Network Monitoring
Access detailed network statistics and connection information.
Setup Instructions
Open any tool that requires Stealth Service (Apps Manager, Macro, Network Monitor, etc.) and tap the "Download Stealth Service" button in settings.
Allow installation from unknown sources if prompted, then install the Stealth Service APK.
Go to Android Settings → Developer Options → Wireless Debugging and enable it. Tap "Pair device with pairing code" if needed.
Open the Stealth Service app and tap "Start" to begin the service. Keep it running in the background.
Return to Stealth and tap "Grant Stealth Service Permission" in the tool's settings. Approve the permission request.

- Open Android Settings
- Go to "About phone"
- Find "Build number"

Battery Impact
Stealth Service runs in the background but has minimal battery impact. It only activates when Stealth requests an action. The service itself doesn't perform any background tasks or network operations.
Battery Usage
Security & Privacy
Stealth Service is based on Shizuku, an open-source project trusted by millions of Android users. It only grants permissions to apps you explicitly authorize. Stealth Service cannot:
- Access your personal data without permission
- Send data over the network
- Modify system files or partitions
- Grant permissions to other apps without your approval
The service runs locally on your device and only responds to requests from authorized apps like Stealth.
