Requirements

- Android 6.0 or higher (Feature support may vary) - App permissions are optional, Grant necessary permissions for each feature - Targetted for Google Pixel devices - Tested on Google Pixel 7 (Android 16 beta program)

Shizuku

- Make sure to get the latest version of Shizuku preferably from a fork such as yangFenTuoZi/Shizuku* or other not from the Google Play as it is no longer well supported especially with Android 16 QPR1 up. - Also It seems like Shizuku might not work with root mode for the app but it will work with ADB/Wireless ADB method so please use that impleemntation to start Shizuku services for now.
