Welcome to the Shizuku+ Wiki

Shizuku+ is a powerful enhancement of the foundational Shizuku project. While maintaining 100% compatibility with existing Shizuku-enabled apps, it introduces a modern, modular architecture designed for the next generation of Android power-user tools.

This wiki serves as the central documentation hub for users and developers looking to understand and utilize the unique features of Shizuku+.

📚 Core Documentation

• Shizuku vs. Shizuku+ — A detailed architectural comparison between the original Shizuku and this enhanced version.
• Service Connection & Start Flow — How ADB/root connection works, error handling, background auto-start, Watchdog, and last-port memory.
• Dhizuku Mode (Device Owner) — How to configure Shizuku+ as a Device Owner to share privileges securely without root or ADB.
• AICore+ Automation Bridge — A deep dive into the privileged AccessibilityService proxy for AI-driven automation.
• Root Compatibility Hub — Learn how Shizuku+ acts as a translation layer for legacy root apps (SU Bridge, command translation, module mocking/ghosting).
• Device Control — Rootless control of connectivity, display, audio, appearance, and power via the privileged service.
• App Backup & Restore — Back up and restore APKs, app data, external/OBB data, permissions, and freeze state without root.
• Permission Manager — Grant and revoke permissions — including privileged signature permissions Settings won't expose.
• Permissions — Every permission Shizuku+ requests, mapped to the feature it powers and why that feature needs it.
• Automation — The event-driven rule engine: network firewall, app auto-hide, and per-app Binder Firewall profiles.
• Scripting — Save named shell snippets and run them on demand or automatically each time the service starts.
• System Hub — Live server diagnostics: uptime, connection count, memory, and an inline activity log.
• Plus API Reference — Developer catalog of every ShizukuPlusAPI bridge (Device Control, Backup, Storage, Inspection, AI, and more).
• Knowledgebase & Troubleshooting — Answers to common questions and step-by-step fixes for known issues.

⚡ What makes Shizuku+ different?

Shizuku+ goes beyond simple shell execution by exposing stable, version-agnostic bridges to internal Android system services. Key enhancements include:

• Universal Privilege Provider: Combine Root, ADB Shell, and Device Owner privileges seamlessly.
• Resilient Connection Engine: Smart port memory, silent auto-retry, progress feedback, and plain-language error dialogs make starting the service fast and reliable.
• Transparent Shell Interceptor: Automatically routes common pm, am, and settings commands through high-performance native APIs, speeding up execution by up to 10x.
• Overlay Manager Plus (OMP): Bypasses Android 14+ / OneUI 8+ restrictions to enable rootless theming (e.g., Hex Installer, Substratum).
• Service Doctor / Watchdog: A real-time engine that detects crashes and restarts the service automatically with exponential back-off — every event logged to the Activity Log.
