Research direction

Start by tracing Vector’s module selection and loading flow, then inspect how Android APK-embedded modules are identified and loaded. The change is done when a user can enable the proposed toggle and load a module bundled in the targeted app’s APK without selecting another injection target.

Description

enhancement
Is your feature request related to a problem?/你的请求是否与某个问题相关?

There are multiple apps I've come across, such as the Nothing Tweaks app and the Hail app, which allows you to freeze apps, which ship their module with the apps APK for ease of installation on stores such as F-Froid, however Vector will refuse to load the module without you first selecting another app for the module to be injected into, preventing you from properly loading these apps.

Describe the solution you'd like/描述你想要的解决方案

Add a toggle the user can enable to tell Vector that the module is embedded within the app being targeted by said module, allowing the module to be loaded.
