Shizuku

An Android app that allows other apps to use system-level APIs requiring ADB or root privileges.

Added Features

This version of Shizuku includes several extra features over the original:

- More robust "start on boot" — waits for a Wi-Fi connection before starting the Shizuku service. - TCP mode — once Shizuku starts successfully with Wi-Fi after a reboot, you can stop or restart it without a Wi-Fi connection. - Watchdog service — automatically restarts Shizuku if it stops unexpectedly and can alert you of crashes or potential fixes. - Start/stop intents — toggle Shizuku on-demand using automation apps (e.g., Tasker, MacroDroid, Automate). - [BETA] Stealth mode — hide Shizuku from other apps that may not work when Shizuku is installed. - [BETA] In-app updates — option to automatically check for new updates and download/install the latest version from GitHub. - Android/Google TV and VR headset support — UI is now compatible with D-Pad remotes; all TVs are supported (including Android 14+ TVs that require pairing), and the multi-window pairing dialog is toggleable in settings for VR headsets. - MediaTek support — fixes a critical bug in the original v13.6.0 that prevented Shizuku from working on MediaTek devices. - And more!
