How Shizuku is used

Can disable microphone, camera and location via `service call`, `settings put` and `cmd location` shell commands.

This is an AI-assisted analysis of Shizuku-related usages in the app's public source code. It is best effort, so it may not catch every single usage.

How this app uses Shizuku

Privacify uses Shizuku to run privileged shell commands that toggle system level sensor and location controls. All commands use fixed arguments derived from on or off toggles, not free form user input:

Block microphone access: turning off the microphone in the dashboard, lockdown screen or widget runs service call sensor_privacy with a microphone identifier through Shizuku, with a settings put global mic_lock fallback.
Block camera access: turning off the camera from the same controls runs service call sensor_privacy with a camera identifier through Shizuku, with a settings put global cam_lock fallback.
Turn off location: turning off location runs a set of fixed location commands through Shizuku, including settings put secure location_mode, content update on the settings provider, cmd location set-location-enabled, cmd device_config put and toggles for WiFi and Bluetooth scanning.
Read sensor status: opening the hardware controls reads the current microphone, camera and location state through Shizuku with cmd sensor_privacy get-state, settings get secure location_mode and cmd location get-location-enabled to show whether each is disabled.
