Shizuku support in Total Commander for Android

Shizuku is an app which allows to call certain Android functions with the rights of the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) app - no root required (but supported).

This app has more system rights than other apps, e.g. to access files under Android/data and Android/obb.

Requirements:

  • Install Shizuku from the Google Play Store (or download it)
  • Enable developer options in Android settings.
  • Enable USB debugging and wireless debugging in Developer options
  • Pair the Shizuku app with Android Debug bridge as described in the app. This can be quite tricky but needs to be done only once
  • After each reboot, the connection between the Shizuku app and the Android Debug bridge needs to be reestablished by re-enabling wireless debugging

Warning:

Some banking apps refuse to work when debug mode is on. You will have to turn it on temporarily to access your files, and then turn it off again to use those apps.
