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.
