**Note**: Patchwork is designed with universal compatibility in mind. All features work across different Android manufacturers with automatic device detection and graceful fallbacks for OEM-specific limitations.
- Patchwork supports both **Shizuku** and **Root** as shell providers for executing advanced system-level commands.
469
-
-**Shizuku**: Make sure to get the latest version of Shizuku preferably from a fork such as [yangFenTuoZi/Shizuku](https://github.com/yangFenTuoZi/Shizuku) or other not from the Google Play as it is no longer well supported especially with Android 16 QPR1 up.

-
-**Root**: If your device is rooted, Patchwork can bypass Shizuku and use root privileges directly for features like Button Remap and App Freezing.
