I came across Shizuku as a root alternative, and while it’s been great at freezing apps, I want to disable certain receivers, services, and SDKs from apps.
Blocker is supposed to do this, but even with Shizuku permission, it does nothing when I try to disable any app components.
Does this actually work, or is root required? If root is needed, are there any alternatives that work with Shizuku?
I actually really like TrackerControl, but use Adguard instead for the same purpose (can’t use them at the same time, unfortunately, since they both work through a local VPN).
The difference, though, is that Blocker stops apps from even loading the component that would “call home”, where TrackerControl and Adguard try to block those connections after they’ve been sent by the app.
Yes, you kind of accomplish the same thing, but I would love to be able to prevent apps from using these SDKs in the first place :)
