Summary: Manage and switch GPU rendering APIs via Shizuku

Description:

GAMA (Graphics API Manager for Android) is a specialized utility designed to give users control over their device's GPU rendering API without requiring root access. By utilizing Shizuku, GAMA allows users to switch between Vulkan and OpenGL system-wide (on supported hardware)

This tool is built to:

  • Lower device temperatures by optimizing GPU overhead.
  • Improve battery efficiency
  • Automate API switching via Tasker integration.

The app is 100% Knox-safe and does not require a bootloader unlock, making it ideal for modern Android devices.

Note: This app relies on Shizuku to execute system property changes safely.
