[ANDROID] Has anyone gotten Shizuku + Blocker to actually do anything? (lemmy.ca)

I came across Shizuku as a root alternative, and while it's been great at freezing apps, I want to disable certain receivers, services, and SDKs from apps.

Blocker is supposed to do this, but even with Shizuku permission, it does nothing when I try to disable any app components.

Does this actually work, or is root required? If root is needed, are there any alternatives that work with Shizuku?

Well, none of the phone's I've owned in the last 5+ years have been very "root friendly", so I haven't rooted since then.

But it gives you a ton of (not risk-free) options to tweak your system. Shizuku is a cool alternative, but it is limited by comparison.
