When you finish these steps, your Android phone shows on the Phones page as your own phone, and agents in your workspace can use it. Your phone connects through Lusor Launcher, a small app you install on the phone itself. On the phone it is called Lusor. You don’t need a computer cable or a Mac. Agents see the screen and tap, type and swipe through the app’s accessibility service. Setup takes about a minute.

​
Requirements

  • An Android phone running Android 12 or later, on Wi-Fi or mobile data.
  • A computer signed in to Lusor, to approve the phone’s sign-in code: app.lusor.ai in a browser or the Lusor Mac app.
  • A free phone slot on your plan. Your phone uses one slot. See Plans and credits.

​
Start in the Lusor app

  1. In the Lusor app, open the Phones page and choose Add phone.
  2. Choose Personal Android. Keep this window open: you enter the phone’s code here in a moment.

​
Install Lusor Launcher

  1. On your Android phone, open lusor.ai/android in the browser. The Lusor Launcher app downloads.
  2. Open the download. When Android asks, allow installing apps from this source, then tap Install.
  3. Open the Lusor app you just installed.
Lusor Launcher keeps itself up to date. When a new version is ready, it shows an Update available notification. Tap it to install.

​
Sign in

  1. On the phone, tap Sign in. The phone shows an eight-character code.
  2. On your computer, in Add phone → Personal Android, type the code under Enter the code from Lusor Launcher and choose Confirm. Your browser opens login.lusor.ai to confirm it. You can also enter the code with Add phone in the Lusor Mac app, or confirm it directly at login.lusor.ai/device.
  3. Wait for the phone to show Signed in.
New to Lusor? Tap New to Lusor? Create an account on the phone instead, then create your account on the page where you enter the code.

​
Add the phone to a workspace

  1. On Add this phone to a workspace, pick the workspace the phone should join.
  2. Check the Phone name. You can rename or remove the phone any time from Phones in Lusor.
  3. Tap Add phone.

​
Turn on Lusor agent

Agents use the Lusor agent accessibility service to see the screen and tap and type.
  1. Tap Open Lusor agent in Accessibility.
  2. Tap Installed apps → Lusor agent, turn it on, then tap Allow.
Android blocks this switch for apps installed from a browser. If Android says Restricted setting, tap OK. Then open Settings → Apps → Lusor, tap ⋮ at the top right and choose Allow restricted settings. Go back and turn on Lusor agent again. Lusor Launcher shows these steps when it needs them.

​
Let Lusor run in the background

  1. On Let Lusor run in the background, tap Allow when Android asks. Android pauses apps on an idle phone, and this keeps your phone reachable.
  2. On Samsung, also add Lusor to Never sleeping apps. Lusor Launcher links to it.

​
Allow Lusor over other apps

  1. On Allow Lusor over other apps, tap Open settings.
  2. Find Lusor in the list and switch it on. On Samsung this is called Appear on top.
Lusor Launcher comes back by itself once it’s on, and the phone shows Ready for agents. It also appears on the Phones page in the Lusor app. You can lock the phone and put it down. Keep Lusor agent on in Accessibility.

​
Use the phone

  • Live view and recordings work on your own Android phone. The live view pauses while the phone is locked and resumes when you unlock it.
  • It does not use Lusor Phone minutes. Agent time on your own phone uses credits for the AI work but no Lusor Phone minutes.
  • Internet and location settings do not apply. Your phone uses its own connection. Those settings are for Lusor Phones.
  • While an agent is working, the phone shows Agent working. Touching the screen can interrupt the agent, so watch it live in Lusor instead. To end the run from the phone, tap Stop this run.

​
Full access (optional)

Unlock full access on the Ready for agents screen adds app installs and more device controls. It uses the phone’s Wireless debugging, so it needs Developer options and Wi-Fi. Lusor Launcher walks you through three steps: turn on Developer options, turn on Wireless debugging, and pair with the six-digit code Android shows. Lusor connects to Wireless debugging from inside the phone. It never asks you to plug into a computer. If Wi-Fi is off, agents keep using the phone through Lusor agent.

​
Remove the phone

  • In the Lusor app, open the phone menu on the Phones page and choose Remove phone…, then Remove phone. This frees its phone slot.
  • Or, on the phone, tap Remove this phone in Lusor Launcher.
To use the phone again, open Lusor Launcher and add it to a workspace again.
