I'm thinking of using Shizuku to give root access to Automate app. My doubt is will it backfire in some way. I'm trying to automate enabling and disabling of Work Profile based on a schedule which frustratingly is missing on Samsung. I'm trying to run the adb commands "am stop-user -f 10" using privileged user block in Automate. Can anyone comment on this? Thanks in advance.

Nope, currently have it running on my S23 Ultra. There's not much you can do though that's actually useful. Hexx is about the only useful thing because it allows you to theme the UI. Canto allows you to install system apps. Other than that, there's not much else. You can install LSxposed but most of the modules are old and do basic things or don't even work properly.

I disagree with this myself. Here are some of the apps I use that make good use of shizuku.

  1. lemmy redirect
  2. ffupdater
  3. SystemUI Tuner
  4. SMT Shell (system privledged escalation for older samsung devices)
  5. Aurora store
  6. Droidify
  7. RootlessJames DSP

It's also possible with the recent changes affecting Android 14 regarding filesystems, good chance good fs explorers will need shizuku in the future since they patched some loopholes that allow accsessing the Android/data and Android/obb folders.

There is a decent list of applications some interesting some not to me, and im sure different people can get different things from it https://github.com/ThePBone/awesome-shizuku

Thanks, some of those I didn't know about.

The one I like most is Darq. Allows me to force some apps to use dark mode which wouldn't otherwise. I also use SD Maid SE from F-droid, which allows me to auto-clean app storage without having to have accessibility loop through the settings. Pretty useful!

I'll check out Darq, thanks. SD Maid is also in the Play Store (or maybe I sideloaded it, I don't use F-Droid).

I just updated to OneUI 6/Android 14 today and Hexx doesn't appear to work anymore, it says to use Theme Park with it, but you apparently have to make your own theme now? Maybe I'm forgetting how to use Hexx since it was a one and done for me and I didn't have Theme Park installed before.
