Shizuku has emerged as a game-changer in recent years because it allows modding on Android without root privilege. It’s a great option for Android enthusiasts who wish to tweak and modify their phone to enhance its functionality. Shizuku takes advantage of Android’s system-level APIs to gain near-root permissions and passes the acquired access to supported apps. We have prepared a listicle of around 50 of the best Shizuku apps that can transform your Android experience.
Before you can benefit from the capabilities of the apps listed below, you must set up Shizuku on your Android device. Install the latest Shizuku from the Google Play Store and configure the app on your devices in 3 ways:
- Via the Wireless Debugging feature in the Developer options
- Using an ADB command on a connected computer
- On rooted Android devices via a Terminal Emulator app
