Dhizuku
Device-owner-level control for ordinary apps — Android's most powerful admin APIs, shared without rooting your phone.
What is Dhizuku?
Dhizuku is an open-source (GPL-3.0) tool created by iamr0s. Android reserves its most powerful management APIs for a single designated "Device Owner" app — the role enterprise fleet-management software normally fills. Dhizuku activates itself as the Device Owner, then shares those permissions with other apps through its API. No root is required.
What it gives you
Apps built on the Dhizuku API gain access to Android's own enterprise-grade controls — managing apps, users, and device policies as defined by the Device Owner APIs on your Android version. Dhizuku supports Android 6.0 through Android 17.
Before you activate
The official guide strongly recommends activating on a device set upwithout any accounts — if accounts are already configured, you may need to remove them first. On Android 12 and later, activating viaShizuku can help avoid account-related errors (marked experimental by the developers). Knowing your exact Android version is step one — our freebrowser-based scan reports it over USB.
