Editor's Overview

LineageOS updater shortcut is a system application developed by Pierre Rudloff, packaged as a single Android APK of version 0.1 weighing in at 12.3 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 12.3 KB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "Pierre Rudloff" — 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.

About this app

This very simple app provides an app icon for the LineageOS updater.

It works around the fact that the Updater app does not have its own icon in the launcher and can only be launched from a submenu of the Settings app.
(The Settings widget can also be used, but it has the same icon as the Settings app and is not available in the app drawer.)

It probably also works with most other vendor updaters.
