    Saved you a click: “In a nutshell, if an app needs special permissions that can only be granted through ADB (or with root), you can just use Shizuku to grant them right from your Android device.”

      AFAIK this is not all. Doesn’t Shizuku allow apps to also execute shell commands with higher privilege?

        It allows you to connect your wireless debugging to your phone itself, so technically you can do anything on your phone you could from your pc.

    There’s some seriously cool things you can do with Shizuku and adb:

    • Install custom Material You designs on your device
    • View and modify hidden settings on Android devices
    • Install F-droid app updates automatically without having to tap “Install” a hundred times

    A really good list for things to do with it is https://github.com/ThePBone/awesome-shizuku

      Aren’t auto updates a solved problem? It’s only the official f-droid client that doesn’t support this.

    SD Maid 2/SE is also said to leverage Shizuku to automate the process of freeing up space and removing unwanted junk.
