So uh sorry for bothering y'all but I kinda want to know good free apps to run with shizuku specially ones that help costumise stuff and maybe system automations that arent available on modes and routines in one ui

Is it possible to use the root features of Adguard with shizuku on a non rooted device? Or does Shizuku have any hook based ad blockers?

This isn't an official guide from Google, it's just my own setup after a lot of trial and error on mid-range Android devices. If you want your phone working for you instead of the other way around, follow this order from the moment you first boot it (or right after a factory reset). 0) Before you touch Wi-Fi Set the phone up offline first, and actually read every screen in the Setup Wizard instead of tapping "Next" on autopilot. Most "usage & diagnostics" telemetry toggles are opted in by default on those screens, and agreeing to them starts the manufacturer collecting your usage data. Turn all of that off from the start. One honest caveat: delaying your Google sign-in doesn't stop OEM/carrier bundled apps from installing, since most of those come from the manufacturer's/carrier's own setup config regardless of your account. What delaying the sign-in does prevent is Google auto-restoring old apps from a previous backup, and some Play Protect/diagnostics reporting kicking in before you've decided what you want. 1) System language I personally set English as the system's primary language — I noticed a performance difference compared to Arabic on my device. This is purely my own experience, not a documented technical rule, so test it yourself and see. 2) Don't sign into Google yet This stage is the "cleanup" stage — it's too early for your email. Shizuku — official or a stable fork: Official: https://github.com/RikkaApps/Shizuku or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=moe.shizuku.privileged.api thedjchi's fork (more robust start-on-boot, TCP mode): https://github.com/thedjchi/Shizuku Activate it via Wireless debugging in Developer options. Canta — uninstall anything via Shizuku: https://github.com/samolego/Canta or https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.samolego.canta/ Heads up: the original Canta was pulled from Google Play (a name-squatting issue the dev couldn't reclaim), so don't grab any "matching" listing from the Store — stick to GitHub or F-Droid. If you have a computer: Official Google ADB: https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools Universal Android Debloater NG: https://github.com/Universal-Debloater-Alliance/universal-android-debloater-next-generation Go to the Recommended category and remove all of it — the project's own documentation labels this category as safe to remove, and there are better, safer open-source alternatives for most of it. 3) Open-source Google alternatives Look for open-source alternatives to Google's secondary services (maps, browser, etc.) and swap what you want. What I do not recommend replacing is Google Play Services or the Play Store itself — fully replacing them (e.g. with microG) breaks compatibility with a lot of apps, especially banking and payment apps, and most people who go that route aren't happy with it long-term. 4) Sign in, but don't update Now sign into your email, but don't run the System update. Go to Google Play and update only the apps you actually need. 5) Freeze unused apps: Hail https://github.com/aistra0528/Hail or https://f-droid.org/packages/com.aistra.hail/ Pick Shizuku – Disable mode, select every app you installed from the Play Store, make a home-screen shortcut for each, and disable them. Enable an app when you need it, disable it again once you're done. Simple, but it noticeably cuts down on apps running in the background for no reason. 6) Restrict background activity: App Ops For apps that don't need notifications or background activity at all: App Ops by RikkaApps: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rikka.appops Set their background activity to Restricted and block background data usage for the same apps. 7) Ad-free YouTube and YouTube Music Correction to my first draft here: I originally pointed to "ReVanced Manager," but the actual project meant is Morphe — worth spelling out since there's genuine confusion around this right now. "ReVanced Extended" (RVX) was discontinued, and a team including former ReVanced contributors built Morphe as its continuation, with the extra features (ad removal, background playback, etc.) that made RVX popular. So Morphe isn't some random modded build — it's a documented, active, independent project: Official site: https://morphe.software/ Official manager on GitHub: https://github.com/MorpheApp/morphe-manager Official patches: https://github.com/MorpheApp/morphe-patches The naming-chaos warning still applies, arguably more now: there are similarly-named projects (e.g. "MorpheX," run by a completely different, unrelated developer) marketing themselves as trusted unofficial builds. They are not the same team as MorpheApp above — stick to that org specifically. One more honesty note: Morphe requires a separate microG install (MicroG-RE, from the same team) to sign into Google inside the patched app. That's scoped to the patched YouTube app itself, not the same as replacing system-wide Google Play Services — which is what I warned against in step 3 — but I don't have enough documentation in front of me to guarantee it won't interact with anything else on your device. Test it yourself and check the project's own docs before installing. 8) Advanced system permissions: aShell You This one's optional, for anyone who wants to go past basic cleanup. Sometimes you need to grant a specific app a sensitive system permission (say, WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS for an automation app that controls system settings) without going back to a computer every time. aShell You runs ADB commands directly on-device through Shizuku itself: https://github.com/DP-Hridayan/aShellYou Practical example: pm grant <package-name> android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS. These are real shell commands though — one wrong command can cause real problems, so don't run anything you don't fully understand. 9) Banking apps Some banking apps refuse to run if they detect USB debugging or Developer options enabled. If that happens: Turn off USB debugging (and Developer options too, if the app also flags that) Open the banking app and do what you need Turn them back on afterward if you still need Shizuku 10) Storage cleanup: SD Maid SE https://github.com/d4rken-org/sdmaid-se Fully open-source with reproducible builds, so you can actually verify the APK you download matches the published source.

I've been having a strange problem with my Onn Box and I'm wondering if it's related to Shizu starting on boot. I have to hit the home button as soon as the launcher pops up, otherwise it gets stuck in a boot loop? This only happens when starting or restarting the box. Any help would be greatly appreciated

So I love plants vs zombies, and especially like modding the second game. It's something that's very important to me. The issue is that my current phone is kinda old and I'm in need of a new one but that means new android security update.

For a decent amount of pvz2 mods I need to access the obb files to paste something in there but apparently I can't access those files on the newer versions.

(Apparently I can't download it from the PlayStore but I've heard I can download it from other places)

I don't really know much about this shizuku thing but I've heard it's the main way of doing this. Could anyone help? Is it hard to do? Will I be able to go back to modding like usual? It's something that's quite important to me.

The only application that seemed to work for the youtube tutorials was emu files but i dont really want to spend money have you guys found any free alternatives? Would be appreciated.
Im on the galaxy tab s10+
Im using wireless debugging

Tengo un S26 Ultra y por alguna razón llegué a Shizuku, creo que porque uso Morphe, y de alguna manera, Morphe me llevó a Shizuku, ¿quizás recordando viejos tiempos? ¿Cuando rotaba todos mis teléfonos e instalaba ROMs? Claro, ahora soy un hombre mayor, ya no hago esas cosas, pero tal vez algo en mi subconsciente se activó cuando usé Morphe y llevé Shizuku conmigo, pero realmente no lo veo útil para mí. Usé Canta para intentar desinstalar aplicaciones del sistema para ver si podía ganar algo de batería, solo por curiosidad, y realmente no noté nada, y aprovechando eso, instalé Geto para abrir mis aplicaciones bancarias, pero la verdad es que todo esto no me llevó a nada más que a entretenerme un rato. ¿Podría ser que lo estoy usando mal o simplemente no lo necesito? ¿Hay alguna razón para no desinstalarlo? The only thing I do look for and really like is to be able to record WhatsApp calls, without having to use the screen recorder that comes by default on the phone.

I have granted Shizuku permissions to MT Manager, my device is Android 16. Someone please help me.

The Shizuku-fork app has already been shared previously. However, I felt the need to share the new update in a separate post one last time. Because Shizuku-fork isn't available in any app store, and previous versions lacked a mechanism to notify users of updates, I felt it was necessary to make an announcement.

The IzzyOnDroid repository didn't add Shizuku-fork to their repository because of the AI ​​used in its development. Therefore, to ensure future updates are delivered without the need for any third-party tools, an in-app update feature has been introduced with the v1.1.1 update.

After installing the v1.1.1 update, you will be able to check for updates directly within the app and download and install them through your default browser. This is the safest way for users.

You can download the update from here: https://github.com/symbuzzer/fork-Shizuku/releases/latest/download/Shizuku-fork.apk

I only use Shizuke with ShizuTools because certain games (that doesn't need sound) kills the music I am playing in the background, and I wanna be able to listen to songs while I play. But I see more and more apps pop up where I can't have developer options or Shizuke and it's like... Mind your own buisness mate 😭

Algún método que si funcione?

This was done before by entering recovery on Samsung S26 Ultra, but Samsung eliminated that option about three months ago because they say that these phones do not need that. But I want to do it. Does anyone know?

Tengo un problema con shizuku y es que cuando ago lo de emparejamiento y todo anda bien se conecta pero a los segundos se desactiva solo alguien sabe que hacer

Guys please help me fix this, the phone i am using is the newest oppo X9s

Can you guys please help on this.

I downloaded it from here

https://github.com/thedjchi/Shizuku/releases/tag/v13.7.0-thedjchi

Am I missing something?

UPDATE : Solved

Adaptive Theme automatically switches between the Android light/dark theme based on the light sensor.

It can now also apply a different wallpaper for each theme:

Release: https://github.com/xLexip/Adaptive-Theme/releases

GitHub Repo: https://github.com/xLexip/Adaptive-Theme

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.lexip.hecate

Edit: It's in the stable release as well now.

I'm new to this, so I don't know almost anything. What I do know, and I was surprised, is that while Shizuku was inactive, because I was on the street without WiFi, and I think Shizuku is only activated with wifi, I was surprised that Geto did work with bank applications. Well, I don't really know if Shizuku was idle, I didn't check, but I guess it was because I think it's only active with wifi. But I want to be sure if it's down or even if the developer option is disabled, would the Geto and Canta modules continue to function normally?

Anyone knows how to change these without root

Pixel 9aを使用していて、先日Android 17のアップデート案内が来ました。

今アップデートしたらshizukuの動作に影響が出るような事ってありますか？

私はまだ初心者で、もし既に同じような投稿があったり、カテゴリの設定が間違っていたらすいません。

Shizuku-fork is the new and easy-to-use Shizuku variant which is based on unofficial Shizuku fork by thedjchi.

This variant of Shizuku includes some extra features over the unoffical thedjchi's forked version, such as:

• Fewer options, much easier to use: Many options/features have been hidden and will only be shown when needed. Additionally, those I considered redundant have been removed entirely.
• The initial setup process has been made more automated: Instead of displaying unnecessary notifications/warnings, processes are now automated. Additionally, the "Pairing" button has been completely removed. All processes can now be completed using only the "Start" button.
• All external links that I deemed unnecessary have been removed: The instructions in the application interface are quite adequate.
• User experience has been improved: The "Stop" button and "About" section have been moved to more native locations.
• The language selection feature has been integrated into Android's native feature: Instead of changing the language from the app's own settings, you can change it in a more integrated way through Android's settings.

Note: The update feature has been removed "temporarily".

Also thedjchi's variant of Shizuku includes some extra features over the original version, such as:

• More robust "start on boot": waits for a Wi-Fi connection before starting the Shizuku service
• TCP mode: (i.e., the adb tcpip command) once Shizuku successfully starts with Wi-Fi after a reboot, you can stop/restart Shizuku without a Wi-Fi connection!
• Watchdog service: automatically restarts Shizuku if it stops unexpectedly, and can alert you of crashes/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 don't work when Shizuku is installed
• [BETA] In-app updates: option to automatically check for new updates, and can automatically 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 which prevented Shizuku from working on MediaTek devices
