Porter is developed by d3rken. It's an actively maintained fork of shizuku. He's the developer behind SD Maid 2 and Butler |

Hello @RedJJ94, Thank for contributing to Universal Installer. Can I know what is the benefit of Porter when apply it. I just know it first time |
|
It's a fork of thedjchi fork of shizuku and it's being actively maintained by an experienced dev in d3rken, he's currently working on making some changes to it which will make it better too. It's mostly to support a really good dev and is gonna maintain and improve on thedjchi's fork of shizuku |
|
The UI on porter is also far superior to the original shizuku and thedjchi's fork as well. It's far cleaner in my opinion |
|
Hey 👋 The short answer is: Porter exists because the original Shizuku and it's second most popular fork are no longer maintained. I support Shizuku/ADB in my apps and have a lot of features that depend on ADB permissions. Originally my documentation and apps linked to the original Shizuku from Rikka but this has not been update for over a year (e.g. broken on MediaTek chipsets). thedjchi forked it and then I pointed my app users towards that. But now thedjchi has announced that maintenance of their fork has been paused. So i decided to create my own fork so I have a place where I can point users who want to setup ADB access for my apps (or anyone else's apps). Porter's goal is to provide a maintained and stable Shizuku alternative. My focus is on compatibility and ease of setup. I don't plan to add fancy features (e.g. ShizukuPlus ). Porter has it's own API so I have some flexibility in the future (but currently it's the same as design Shizuku). Porter will work with any app that supports Shizuku already, the user just has to press "Install compatibility" app in Porter and it's plug and play. 🚀 But I would hold this PR for a few more days as everything went a little out of control. I'm still working on Porter, there might be a breaking API change. 😅 |

@d4rken sound good, thank you |

Superseded by #160, which keeps these commits and uses Porter's Shizuku-API bridge instead of the 0.1.0 SDK. @RedJJ94 you're credited as co-author there. |

Add Porter Support with Shizuku Backend Selection
Overview
Adds Porter as an alternative privileged-service backend alongside Shizuku, while preserving the existing Shizuku-compatible installation architecture.
Users can select Automatic, Porter, or Shizuku from the Install settings when using the Shizuku installation mode.
Changes
• Added the Porter client SDK and required JitPack repository configuration.
• Replaced the app's direct Shizuku API/provider dependencies with Porter's Shizuku-compatible API.
• Added Porter and Shizuku permissions and package queries to the Android manifest.
• Replaced the legacy ShizukuProvider with Porter's PorterProvider and SelectedShizukuProvider.
• Added persistent privileged-service backend selection using the existing DataStore preferences.
• Added Automatic / Porter / Shizuku selection to the Install settings.
• Updated privileged-service detection to distinguish between Porter and Shizuku.
• Added Porter-specific installation, connection, and status messaging.
• Preserved the existing Ackpine/Shizuku installation path so the same installer implementation can operate through either backend.
• Added restart-required handling when changing the backend because the selected backend is fixed for the lifetime of the app process.
• Updated settings search keywords to include Porter and privileged-service terminology.
• Updated user-facing wording so generic privileged-service functionality is not unnecessarily described as Shizuku-only.
• Updated telemetry to account for the active privileged-service backend.
• Added backend information to privileged-service status telemetry so Porter and Shizuku usage can be distinguished.
• Retained backwards compatibility for the existing Shizuku-specific telemetry event/method where appropriate.
• Updated the README with Porter/Shizuku backend information.
• Refined the Porter/Shizuku selector UI to closely match the project's existing settings design, including list-item layout, typography, spacing, navigation affordances, and Material 3 dialog styling.
Backend Options
Option
Behavior
Automatic
Uses Porter's automatic backend selection. Porter determines which available privileged-service backend should be used instead of forcing the app to use Porter or Shizuku.
Porter
Explicitly selects Porter as the privileged-service backend.
Shizuku
Explicitly selects Shizuku as the privileged-service backend.
Automatic does not dynamically switch between Porter and Shizuku while the app is running. The backend is selected when the app process starts and remains fixed for that process. Changing the backend requires the application to be fully stopped/force-stopped and reopened.
Compatibility
Porter provides the Shizuku-compatible API used by the application, allowing the existing Shizuku/Ackpine installation implementation to remain in place without duplicating the installer logic.
Existing installation functionality, including shell execution, OBB handling, installer controllers, and Ackpine integration, continues to use the same underlying code.
The separate Android TV module is intentionally unchanged in this PR.
UI
The new backend selector follows the application's existing settings design:
• Uses the existing settings ListItem structure.
• Matches existing typography and text hierarchy.
• Follows established spacing and layout conventions.
• Uses the project's existing Material 3 components.
• Provides a standard radio-button selection dialog.
• Displays the currently selected backend in the settings row.
• Provides restart-required feedback when the backend selection changes.
Telemetry
Privileged-service telemetry now identifies the active backend:
• auto
• porter
• shizuku
This allows backend-specific usage and status information to be distinguished while maintaining compatibility with the existing Shizuku telemetry behavior.
