I’ve never used Shizuku but I’m curious about what it can actually do. What are some practical or interesting use cases?

As a side question: I’m running CalyxOS and would like to export my browser history (probably as a SQLite database), the relevant files seem to be protected or inaccessible. Could Shizuku help me access or export them?

    I need it to run keymapper which is very cool and lets me map Bluetooth keyboard combinations to map them to app UI elements. Also shizuku-mcp let’s my OpenClaw stack remotely operate my mobile device which is also lots of fun

      I was referring to Openclaw needing it. You could enable wireless adb and Openclaw should be able to connect to your phone directly without having to go through Shizuku.

      Shizuku is just using adb over tcp but to localhost on the device it’s installed on.

        Some features of the app claim to require shizuku, maybe the app itself is lying to me?
