Show/Hide console
After starting service, FRep will stay in the notification. By tapping it, the console shows/hides. Once you record by the recording circle button, FRep automatically show console on the app on recorded. Then, the record can be replayed by the playing triangle button.

Recording mode
Choose which you like at the FRep front app;
Simple: record until Power push.
Till Gap: record until designated seconds of no input.
Progress: record continuously and construct editable sequence separated by input gap.

Repeat/Edit playing
By setting the Repeat number >1 in Manage Traces, FRep play the record continuously by the count. You can also create/edit the playing sequence consisting of multiple records/controls. In addition, each stroke in traces can be moved/set wait/clipped.

Power button
FRep do not record Power push, which will finish any recording/playing immediately.

Restrict by current App
In record/replay, occasional call or App change may cause a problem. To avoid that, FRep is restricted on Phone, Google Play and FRep itself. You can configure restriction for other Apps.

Interruption of playing
To abort replaying, you can interrupt easily by the overlapping the operation.

Double-tapping the upper button on the console, you can open another page which has key operation editor.

Notification type/icon, console size/transparency, drag/flick sensitivity, default settings, etc.


= Notice&Tips =
- This app uses Accessibility Service by ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE permission to detect current app, for responsive switching function of floating console.
- Full network access permission is used only for communication with the setup process in localhost.
- Do not record including personal information and/or password.
- The replay result may differ depending on the CPU load or such. To make good reproducibility, take longer delay for processing wait, stop touch at end point for dragging/flick, and more, try to Edit Sequence with image matching (see Tutorial in support site).
- The records have no compatibility with other device.

Ratings and reviews

Update 11/03/2019: I have used the unlocked version of FRep for 6 years. It has been 1 of my favorite tools. I love the ability to script without rooting your device. Unfortunately, Android 10 changed something which prevents it from working for me. I will continue to check for a fix. I hope to use FRep for the foreseeable future. ~~~~~~~~~ ...Can you set the 'margin after tap' to less then .5 sec? Each time I try it resets to .5s. I am trying to build a custom sequence without any records...

I've been using this for a long time now and it is indispensable. I see many people complaining about the setup tool. On all android devices, you only have "user" privileges by default. This app needs to run at a "super user" level to do what it does. That privilege is temporarily granted by the setup tool. You can root (unlock) your device giving yourself full admin level rights negating the requirement for the setup tool but that comes with its own problems. Just a great program with timely updates. It literally saves me hours a day.

*edit* Also thank you for providing swift support for Android 10! Thank you for providing a macro-ing solution for non-rooted devices. This in itself is deserving of awards, especially when previous solutions (such as Game Tuner) have gone down the wash and turned into trash. My only minor complaint, but certainly not enough to warrant lowering the rating, is the really outdated-looking interface, lol. It works though, and that's what counts!
