✨ Shizuku+ Core Features

• Universal Privilege Provider: One interface for Root, ADB Shell, and Dhizuku (Device Owner).
• OneUI 8+ Theming Fix: Lets theming engines like Hex Installer or Substratum keep working on Android 16/17 and OneUI 8+.
• Dhizuku Mode: Share the system Device Owner binder with any app that has Shizuku permissions — set up via ADB, no root needed.
• Customizable Gestures: Swipe left, swipe right, and long-press actions, configurable per app.
• In-App Changelogs: See what's new after an update without leaving the app.
• Bulk Management: Multi-select apps to grant/revoke permissions or hide them in one tap.
• Activity Log: Audit trail of API calls and su bridge commands, with app icons and real-time updates.
• Root Compatibility Hub: Dashboard for legacy root apps, with granular module control (Magisk mocking, auto-grant, file interceptor, and more).
• Universal SU Automation: One-tap 'Magic Setup' to point all installed root apps at the Shizuku+ SU Bridge.
• Service Doctor: Diagnoses and fixes service startup issues (Samsung Auto Blocker included).
• Integrated Feature Guides: Every Plus feature has an info icon with a plain-language explanation of what it does.
• Quick Settings Tile: Check and toggle the service status from your notification panel.

🚀 Plus API Features

Shizuku+ provides exclusive system interfaces for advanced automation and tools — none of these exist in stock Shizuku:

• AICore+ Automation Bridge: Privileged UI automation (hierarchy dumps, tap/swipe) for AI-driven tools — no root needed. (added)
• AVF (Virtual Machine) Manager: Run isolated Linux/Microdroid VMs with GPU acceleration. (added)
• Privileged Storage Proxy: Authenticated access to restricted paths for backups and file management. /data/app/ and external /Android/data/ work in ADB mode; /data/data/ requires root (the server must run as UID 0 to cross app-private directory boundaries). (added)
• Device Spoofing (Spoof Device Identity in Settings): Present a different device identity to bypass device-specific restrictions. (added)
• Intelligence Bridge (AI Core Plus): Privileged NPU scheduling and screen context intelligence. (added)
• Window Manager Plus: Force free-form resizing, manage the Bubble Bar, and resilient overlays. (added)
• System Theming Bridge (Overlay Manager Plus): Privileged overlay management for rootless theming (e.g. Hex Installer). (added)
• Network & DNS Governor: Manage Private DNS and firewall routing for rootless ad-blockers. (added)
• Deep Process Control (Activity Manager Plus): Lets process managers kill apps and set standby buckets more aggressively. (added)
• Continuity Bridge: Secure state and task handoff between Shizuku+ devices. (added)

🛠️ Backporting & Optimizations

Shizuku+ makes regular Shizuku apps faster and more compatible without any code changes:

• Transparent Shell Interceptor: Routes common pm, am, and settings commands through faster native APIs.
• Local ADB Proxy: Emulates an ADB server on port 15555, so legacy apps can use Shizuku without Wireless ADB staying on.
• SU Bridge: A Shizuku-backed su drop-in for non-rooted apps that support a custom root path.
• plus CLI Helper: A privileged command-line utility, available inside rish.
• Dynamic App Database: Keeps app descriptions and suggestions in the UI up-to-date from GitHub.

⚙️ Modular Control

Everything in Shizuku+ is optional. Use the Plus Features category in Settings to toggle:

• Transparent Shell Interception
• Individual Plus APIs (AVF, Storage, Intelligence, etc.)
• Home screen card visibility
• Activity Logging

🔌 Third-Party App Compatibility

Shizuku+ installs under its own package (af.shizuku.plus.api) so it can coexist with stock Shizuku. Because most Shizuku-aware apps look specifically for the moe.shizuku.privileged.api package, Shizuku+ ships a lightweight Compat Hub — a tiny companion app that registers that package name and forwards binder/permission requests to Shizuku+.

If third-party apps don't detect Shizuku+:

1. Start the Shizuku+ service (ADB or root).
2. On the home screen, use the Compat Hub card to install the companion (it's bundled in the app; installation goes through the running service, so start the service first).
3. Re-open the third-party app — it should now detect Shizuku and receive the service binder.

Alternatively, install the drop-in build, which registers as moe.shizuku.privileged.api directly (do not install it alongside stock Shizuku).

☑️ Requirements

Minimum: Android 7+ · Fully supported through Android 17 (SDK 37)

• Root mode: Requires a rooted device
• Wireless Debugging mode: Android 11+ and all Android TVs
• PC mode: All devices
• Start on boot: Available only with Wireless Debugging or Root mode

On Android 16+, Shizuku+ requests the new Local Network Protection permissions so wireless-debugging discovery and pairing keep working; on Android 17, it transparently handles the hidden-API deviceId change so authorized apps still appear and permission grants still apply.

📱 Developer Guide

See the Shizuku+-API repository for documentation on the exclusive Plus APIs.

🙏 Acknowledgements & Licenses

Shizuku+ is a community-driven enhancement and fork of thedjchi/Shizuku, which is itself a fork of the original RikkaApps/Shizuku. This project is not affiliated with the original RikkaApps team.

Thanks to the following upstream contributors and projects whose work makes Shizuku+ possible:

• RikkaApps / Rikka — For the foundational Shizuku project and its elegant API design.
• thedjchi — For the intermediate fork and quality-of-life improvements, and for carrying the Android 17 (SDK 37) compatibility work that Shizuku+'s A17 support is adapted from.
• kerneldroid / Nightzuku — Origin of the Android 17 hidden-API deviceId compatibility approach (the Android17Compat / InstalledPackagesCompat reflection layer) and Local Network Protection handling that this fork's A17 support descends from.
• LandonMoran — For porting Nightzuku's Android 17 support into the thedjchi fork and verifying it end-to-end on a physical Android 17 device (pairing, service start, and the authorized-apps list), which is the field validation Shizuku+'s port builds on.
• Muntashir Akon — For the aShell You codebase, which inspired the terminal and shell automation features.
• iamr0s — For Dhizuku, enabling the unified Device Owner privilege mode, and AndroidAppProcess for standalone Java process execution.
• pascua28 — For native Samsung System UID 1000 escalation integration.
• kerneldroid — For the Nightzuku fork, which inspired our Android 16/17 (SDK 37) hidden API resilience (handling deviceId) and UI modernizations.
• ShizukuExt-SystemUID — For conceptualizing systemic UID 1000 privilege escalation beyond standard limits.
