ShizuTools
Contains many tools to control android system via shizuku
ShizuTools is an Android utility suite that leverages elevated system access via Shizuku to provide controls that normally require ADB, root, or OEM-only privileges. Instead of being a single-purpose app, it bundles several focused tools under one umbrella, making it easier to apply advanced tweaks without constantly switching apps or writing commands by hand. A major use case is system app management, where the Debloater tool helps uninstall or disable preinstalled components and surfaces app information to guide safer decisions. It also includes tools that change day-to-day behavior, like enforcing picture-in-picture for apps that don’t expose it, enabling multiple audio streams at once, and giving per-app audio controls beyond what Android typically allows. ... -

DWMBlurGlass
Add custom effect to global system title bar, support win10 and win11
...Because its scope is narrowly defined — focusing on window rendering / UI effect — it is probably lightweight, easy to integrate in projects needing custom window decorations. This kind of project appeals to developers interested in customized UI, modded Windows applications, or aesthetic tweaks rather than full-blown applications or games. As with many small open-source utilities, using DWMBlurGlass involves incorporating its code or build into your own application so that windows render with blur/ glass-style background, giving a modern or stylized look. -
