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?

    • giving file managers access to some directories that are normally not accessible to apps
    • detecting app crashes and getring full error message of what caused it
    • setting a language for a specific app (different from system language). Useful when app forces a shitty machine translation
