Editor's Overview

lWS is a connectivity application developed by Mikhail Basov, packaged as a single Android APK of version 6.0 weighing in at 50.43 KB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 50.43 KB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "Mikhail Basov" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

* Port. May be between 1024 and 65535. Default is 8080

Any wrong values in parameters will automatically be set back to their defaults.

Document root

Document root by default is set to application private directory, example index
file automatically created. It is a safe configuration. You can place your pages
in this directory. But be careful! If you use Android 5.0 or above and uninstall
the application this directory and its content will be removed.

Security warning

You can change document root to any readable path on file system, but you need
to understand what are you doing. __Be careful: you could (suddenly?) create the
configuration so than anyone on the same Wi-Fi network could access the data on
your device whether you like it or not.__ All files from document root and below
are available for reading without any restrictions to anyone who's connected to
the network and knows the URL of the server.

"Send", "QR code" and "Browser"

After server starts you can press:

* "Browser" button for check server operation in your local browser
* "QR code" to call https://f-droid.org/packages/net.basov.lws.qr.fdroid or https://f-droid.org/packages/com.google.zxing.client.android to share URL by QR code. If no app is installed it offers to install lWS QR plugin
* "Send" to share the working server URL to another device via Bluetooth, Android Beam, E-Mail and any other way available on your device.

On screen log

The application has no permanent logging. This was treated this as redundant
functionality. The app tries to have the notification up to date. The on screen
log works only when the application is visible. Log screen may be cleared after
returning from background.

Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is lWS safe to install?
