🔐 Dhizuku — Share DeviceOwner Permissions on Any Android Device 🚀
Use Dhizuku to grant powerful “Device Owner” level permissions to apps without full root — Works from Android 8.0 up to Android 16
Dhizuku is a powerful open-source tool by iamr0s that lets you share “Device Owner” permissions with other applications — meaning you can grant certain system-level privileges to apps without giving them full root. [oai_citation:0‡GitHub](https://github.com/iamr0s/Dhizuku?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
Officially supported on Android 8.0 through Android 16. [oai_citation:1‡GitHub](https://github.com/iamr0s/Dhizuku?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Useful for setups where you want to use privileged functionalities (like automated installs, app control, system-level tweaks) without depending on root access alone.
🔧 What Can Dhizuku Do?

- Delegate Device-Owner functionality to multiple apps — useful when you need more than one privileged app. [oai_citation:3‡apt.izzysoft.de](https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.rosan.dhizuku?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
- Support for Android 8.0 up to Android 16 — wide compatibility. [oai_citation:4‡GitHub](https://github.com/iamr0s/Dhizuku?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

⚠️ Important: Things to Know Before Using Dhizuku
Because Dhizuku grants “Device Owner” privileges, the setup process involves certain steps — and some caveats:
- For initial activation, it’s recommended that your device has no existing accounts — this avoids setup conflicts. [oai_citation:7‡GitHub](https://github.com/iamr0s/Dhizuku?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
- If your phone already has Google accounts / users, you might need to remove or freeze them before enabling Dhizuku. [oai_citation:8‡GitHub](https://github.com/iamr0s/Dhizuku/discussions/19?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
- After activation, you get Device Owner rights — this is powerful, but misuse can cause issues with some apps (especially store apps or those depending on Google services).

- Dhizuku isn’t a simple “one-tap root” tool — treat it like a system-level mod, and be sure you know what you’re doing before granting permissions to apps.
