Feature description
This is not a direct feature request, but rather a suggestion to bring awareness to an emerging approach.
A project called AXPH (AxManager) introduces a privileged manager focused on ADB/non-root environments:
https://fahrez182.github.io/AxManager/
It provides a plugin-based system (unrooted modules) and a shell execution environment capable of applying modifications dynamically, sometimes without requiring a reboot.
The architecture appears to reuse concepts similar to Shizuku and KernelSU, adapted to work primarily without root by leveraging shell-level execution and service-based control.
Since Morphe already supports module creation using root-based approaches (e.g., Magisk/KernelSU-style modules), this could represent a potential alternative direction in the future—especially for devices where bootloader unlocking or root access is no longer possible.
This approach is still experimental and evolving, and this discussion is intentionally opened only to make the project known and allow evaluation over time, not to request immediate implementation.
Motivation
The Android ecosystem is becoming increasingly restricted, particularly on devices where root access is no longer viable.
AXPH suggests a possible path where system-level customization could still be achieved through ADB-based privilege layers and modular plugins, without requiring full root access.
At the same time, this approach may or may not prove to be viable in the long term, and would likely require additional contributors and architectural changes if ever considered.
For now, this is simply an open discussion to document and track this idea, so it does not need to be suggested again in the future, and can be revisited if the technology matures.
