4ku 4.0 for Android .
Thanks to the Author: kz04px :music2:

4ku - a chess engine written in C++ designed to fit into 4,096 bytes. There are two versions of the engine: 4ku, and 4ku-mini.

Download : https://workupload.com/file/bLDL39whUtB

- 4ku-mini uses source code that is stripped, minified, compressed, and then appended to the launch script. When run, the launch script compiles the source code to a temporary executable and then runs it.
- 4ku is a normal compile of the same source code. It is not stripped so retains support for UCI `setoption`, info strings, and perhaps other quality of life improvements.
4ku and 4ku-mini should be identical in terms of their play, but 4ku's info strings mean it is probably slightly slower and slightly weaker. Despite this, 4ku's ease of use and cross-platform compatibility means it should probably be favoured for use in any circumstance other than being limited to 4,096 bytes.
"Life is a little similar to illness as it proceeds through crises and lysis and has daily improvements and worsening. Unlike other diseases, life is always fatal and cannot bear treatment"

I have a suggestion to make, just look regularly under

https://sourceforge.net/projects/chess-engines-for-android/files/

there are the original files. Then you don't have to use the links from third party sites (where you can never be sure that the files have been manipulated).
