shevery

Project Overview

Shevery is a community fork of Shizuku, the well-known Android privileged-API framework, keeping its core mechanism of letting apps call system APIs as shell/root after an ADB or root grant while fully modernizing the manager.

The UI is rewritten in Jetpack Compose with Material 3 Expressive; additions include Dhizuku-compatible Device Owner management, biometric locking, ADB ZIP module install and management, Gemini explanations with AI command creation, and Android 16/17 targeting.

Item	Value
Platform	Android (Android 16/17 targeting)
Upstream	Fork of RikkaApps/Shizuku
Stack	Kotlin + Jetpack Compose (Material 3)
License	Apache-2.0

The classic no-root privileged API solution gets a modern coat, module management and biometrics included.

Key Features

• Compose manager UI: Material 3 Expressive components, motion and rounded icon treatment
• Device Owner management: delegation scopes, ownership transfer and DPM-assisted ADB, Dhizuku compatible
• Biometric security: a master switch requiring fingerprint or device credential with configurable timeouts and granular action protection
• ADB modules: ZIP module install, enable/disable, action.sh execution, local WebUI and run logs
• Module policies: safe mode, full access and background-action control per module
• Module catalog: direct install of community modules from a built-in catalog
• AI extras: Gemini explanations for shell/ADB commands, macros and AI-generated commands
• Shizuku API compatible: existing Shizuku-dependent apps work unchanged

Target Audience

• Advanced users needing privileged APIs without root
• Shizuku users wanting a modern UI and new features
• Enthusiasts managing ADB modules
• Deep users of Device Owner setups

Quick Start

1. Uninstall the official Shizuku Manager first (package conflict)
2. Install shevery-release.apk from Releases
3. Start the service via wireless debugging or root and grant access
4. Apps needing privileged APIs work through the Shizuku API as usual
5. Optionally enable Dhizuku bridging, biometric lock and module policies in the lab

Core Advantages

• Thoroughly modern UI: Compose rewrite with looks and motion beyond the original manager
• More features: Device Owner, module management and AI commands absent upstream
• Ecosystem compatible: full Shizuku API compatibility, existing apps just work
• New Android ready: Android 16/17 support lands early

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
OS	Android (Android 16/17 targeting)
Activation	Wireless debugging or root
Migration	Official Shizuku Manager must be uninstalled first

Notes

• Uninstall the old app: the package name changed, coexisting with the official Shizuku Manager conflicts
• Activation unchanged: wireless debugging or root still starts the service, re-activate after reboot when using wireless debugging
• Module caution: verify third-party ADB modules are trustworthy before installing
