Shizuku

This app is a lifesaver. It provides a way to access app files that Google prohibits users from opening. When I got a new phone, I wanted to transfer my game files from my old device. However, because of an annoying restriction, the system wouldn't allow it. I was desperate, as I didn't want to start over. I was about to give up until I saw this app. It was a fleeting moment of relief that saved me from countless hours of grinding in my favorite game.

App still gets killed by system no matter what you do. The very moment after the app is "closed" or left to run in the background it's killed whether you change battery settings and such or not. It's completely unavoidable, and makes it more painful to use this app than the latter.

I worked very hard to get around the shadow ban on this app and I encourage everyone who wants to get rid of something in a device they paid for to do so as well. I had to disable several apps that tried to block the APK install, but lo and behold, now that it's installed and scanned it is recognised by the play store. And it works just fine on Android 16, tyvm.
