Shadowsocks-android
What is this?This is the official Shadowsocks client app for Android, Chrome OS, and Android TV, letting you route your device's traffic through a Shadowsocks proxy server.
Is this an app I install on my device, or a server component?It is a client app only (APK) that connects to a Shadowsocks server; it does not run the proxy server itself.
Is a pre-built APK provided, or do I have to compile it myself?The README only documents building from source; it does not mention a ready-made download link or app store listing in this content.
Does this work on Android TV and Chrome OS too, or just phones?Yes, besides regular Android phones it also has beta support for Chrome OS and Android TV.
What underlying components does it rely on for the proxy protocol?It bundles or links against redsocks, libevent, tun2socks, shadowsocks-rust, libsodium, and OpenSSL as its open source dependencies.
Can I help translate the app?Yes, the README has a dedicated TRANSLATE section pointing contributors to help localize the app.
Is the project actively maintained?With over 36,000 GitHub stars and a long history since 2012, it remains one of the most widely used Shadowsocks clients for Android.
