Kustom Booster Plugin#

The Kustom Booster Plugin (kbooster) restores features that cannot be included in Google Play builds of Kustom apps due to Play Store policy restrictions.

What does kbooster provide?#

• Unread counters: SMS, missed calls, and Gmail unread counts (replaces the old kunread plugin)
• Fitness data: Steps, calories, distance, heart rate, sleep, and more via Health Connect (the $fd()$ function)

Why is this needed?#

Google Play policies restrict access to SMS and call permissions, and the Health Connect integration requires a compliance process that prevents Kustom from including it directly in Play Store builds. The kbooster plugin runs as a separate sideloaded app that provides these features to Kustom.
