Shell Providers (Shizuku & Root)
- Essentials supports both Shizuku and Root as shell providers for executing advanced system-level commands.
- 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.
- Root: If your device is rooted, Essentials can bypass Shizuku and use root privileges directly for features like Button Remap and App Freezing.
