RikkaApps/Shizuku

This system is a privileged Android service framework that facilitates secure, wireless ADB pairing and shell execution. It manages the lifecycle of user services and handles inter-process communication through a modernized server architecture. The codebase has been significantly refactored to remove legacy hidden API overrides and socket-based communication layers in favor of a cleaner, modular structure.

How it got here

2017 · Architecture modernization and cleanup

This period focused on modernizing the project's build system and removing legacy code. The team migrated to a modern Gradle and Android build configuration, while simultaneously stripping out obsolete hidden API stubs, AIDL definitions, and socket-based IPC implementations. These changes reflect a shift towards a cleaner, more secure architecture with wireless debugging support.

2020–2021 · Server architecture refactoring and Shizuku integration

This period focused on restructuring the server-side codebase into a more modular and maintainable architecture, introducing dedicated managers for configuration, services, and user sessions. Concurrently, the project integrated the Shizuku shell loader for Rish support and implemented wireless ADB pairing, while also establishing compatibility utilities for Android API variations.

About this page

  • The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
  • The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 5 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit b844bc491f — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.19. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
