I’m concidering to install shizuku with app ops (same dev) to be able to remove system app permissions without rooting. Is this app safe to use or should i search for other options?

    Shizuku uses adb to grant apps elevated privileges, which unnecessarily increases attack surface. For security reasons, I would not use it.

      Shouldnt be able to brick because it uses ADB debugging. Protected system files still can’t be altered, therefore factory reset would fix and problem with system instability.

    Something you may have not noticed about AppOps is that you can use it to give fake permissions to the apps so they think that they have a permission but when they try to actually use that permission they don’t get any data from the API.

    I personally think that the added attack-surface is worth it for the functionality it provides.
